I'm selling pieces of myself for the main event. I'm selling in 5% chunks for 1k a packet. PM me if interested.

I'm interested in selling pieces of myself for the main event. However, it won't be a direct percentage trade. For example, if you give me 5k, it doesn't mean you have 50% of my action in case I win. You would only get 25% of the prize money. The reason for this is if someone were to stake me 10k for the whole ME, I would get 50% and the staker would get 50%. Shares are in 1k package / 5% packages.

For those of you who are worried I will sell 100% [or even more] of myself to book a 10k+ win, I will not [especially when I've won/lost 10k+ in many poker sessions before. I just can't hold 10k of my own cash and use it as a tourney entry.]

Lastly, my credential is that I will not turn the stake into a loan if I get lucky and appear on ESPN.

PM me for winrates/limits played.

Damn, I just played 5 sit and gos. I used to play sit and gos exclusively. I lost about 10 showdowns in a row where I was a large favorite.

once every few months I have a week where it seems like my goal is to lose as much money as possible. Last time I did this it was like -45k. This time it's only at 9.... time for cashout + break I think = /

FWIW, that is a horribly staking deal (for people who stake you).

The going rate is somewhere around 75% for the backer and 25% for the player. If you got fully staked, you'd only get 25% of your winnings. If someone gives you $1,000, they should expect at least 7.5% of your winnings.

Taking less is just retarded.

Goals for the month:

- Enjoy a week back in the States in the beginning of July
- Enjoy my European vacation (mid-July to mid-August)
- Try really, really hard to play as much poker as possible
- If I can't do that, [censored] it, this is vacation time suckers

Only real goal I have is that I need to make $10,000 to keep on pace for my $300,000 year. Anything more than that is just icing on the cake.

I predict about $20,000 and maybe 30,000 hands if I get lucky.
