I wanted to try and pm you but I guess i'll do it here.

I noticed your BBV post about staking. If you have any true interest in staking someone for 50 nl pm me back on here, on aim (craggmister), or on msn messenger (craggmister@hotmail.com). Basically, the only reason I need a stake atm is because im withdrawing about $1k/$1.5k to start back up playing live ($3/$6 limit - very very juicy game). This would be my second cashout now from PokerStars in the last month (last one being $600). Like I said, if you really do have any interest in staking a person for MSNL then you can reach me at any of those addresses. If you don't have any interest, could you write me back on here and let me know. Thanks
-Cragg

My name is Vinh Nguyen, I'm a 27yr Project Manager working in the software industry for over 6 years. I have a computer science degree from the University of Michigan.

I started can beat 1/2 NL and 2/5 NL pretty easy in casinos and have done so for the past 2 years.

I've been playing the 5/10 game at commerce and also lucky chances 2-3-5, 10 to go, spead limit game (200$) max.

Though I average a profit of 550$ per 8 hour session (over 20+ session). I still consider this my ceiling as of right now.

I play a TAG type game, but can adjust to a LAG type game depending on the dynamics.

Let me know, thanks! -Vinh

greg, i have an idea
why don't you write a 10 or 20 or something question quiz with basicish hands, and the one that demonstrates the best thought process wins

I'm a (former) winning 30-60 min bet player.

I've been pro (no job) for 3 years without being staked or taking loans.

I started playing live 3-6 and 1-2 NL, and a little online. I moved up to live 10-20 and 5-10 6 max games online. After a year or so I moved to 2-5 NL. Long story short I ran my roll up running good/playing well for about 1.5 years. I was playing 50-100 limit regularly, where I was a significant favorite, and 10-20 NL, where I was a significant dog. I lost about 10,000 in the NL game before I realized this of course, (this was about the same time I spent money like I hated it).

Right now I should be able to beat any limit game up to 1-2 and NL up to 5-10. However, I haven't beaten ANY game consistently this year. Ran bad about 4.5 of 6 months. Still up on the year, but very little. This hasn't worked because I still spent money like I was playing
upper middle stakes.

I've dropped all the way to 15-30 live and 8-16 or 10-20 6 max online. I'm about to fall even lower. Bankroll has plummeted, I'm nervous and beginning to blame anyone/anything for my misfortune. I could be convinced that God hit the doomswitch on my poker because no matter the casino, the game, the limits, the dealer, live or online, the coolers find me.

I win most of the showdowns but lose all the big ones when I am a favorite. The bigger the pot, the less chance I have somehow.

In closing, don't stake me; I will only lose your money. I somehow manage to go in everyday with a great attitude, but by the end of the day it usually blows up in my face. Someone hit the doomswitch and I can't win...but I would probably be your most qualified recipient.

I beat NL25(as in .10/.25) at 3bb/100, lol.

I need coaching, but honestly how is someone beating nl25 at 3bb/100 going to pay anyone decent to do so for me. I have a $1000 BR but will not move up untill i get better. No reason to, because im not good enough yet. "need to be coached by me for alteast an hour a week". Id love to be coached for as long as possible each week.

Bassically im a low-limit small winner that A) Needs the coaching help, B) Shouldnt produce a loss as i am a winning player, just a small one C) Probably also wont produce you even a noticable amount of profit, if you are playing NL5000.

The reason i would want to play staked is because one of my leaks is ill be playing great and make one just absolutly stupid play during a session and blow my profits. When im playing with someone else's money/having my hands that i lose looked at by someone, i dont think i will be able to have myself make those same plays, because if nothing else, id just be embarrasted to have someone see it.

PM me if at all interested for me email addy.

I would be the perfect candidate.

I have been playing poker for about 2 years. When i first started out, I played almost exclusively LIMIT. I was pretty decent, but i always gambled way outside my bankroll and was always online busto.

I never needed poker for money but I was always frustrated that I never had a bankroll. I would often run a 1k deposit up to like 5 or 6k more than once, only to lose it alll back playing games i was not skilled nor bankrolled for.

Around June of 06 through October of 06 I hardly played online. I then wanted to get back into it. I was browsing the internet one day and saw an advertisement for pokeroffice at PSO.com, all you had to do was open an account at PS and get 100fpp or whatever, so i made an account for my gf, I had an account already, and deposited $100.00, to grind NL and get the software. I had no intentions of running up that account to anything substantial but low and behold I realized that there was more money in NL and I found that i played NL better than i played Limit. I immediately started studying any type of literature that i could find, books articles, websites etc. I joined cardrunners and started to take the game seriosuly.

I vowed to never go online busto again, and see how high I could take my account. I feel like i have a pretty good understanding of NL Cash games and have mastered the TAG style. I don't play a game unless i have over 20 buy ins.

Honestly, I dont need a stake because i am busto, but with a stake I would be able to play $200NL comfortably and make a pretty decent earn, and with your coaching I would say its a cinche [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Here are some screen shots :



The downward spike is a 10buyin downswing at $100nl. Also i HAve not played that much in May or June.

If you have any questions for me Pistolx78@gmail.com thanks for reading
