My Story + An Offer (HOLY BALLS LONG)

[ManChild]

Age - 20

Experience in all forms of poker - mainly a STT player, played close to 5k sngs in last 2 and 1/2 months since i switched to stars and concentrated on playing within my bankroll and working on my game, playing the 27s on stars (after moving from mainly 109s on party), plan to move to the 60s at the end of the month. ive also had some success in MTTs, took 2nd place in the Monday night special on Party
won the 40k guarenteed on Party(20+2) with about 2500 players, FTed the same event a few weeks later.

Most tables you can see yourself playing - currently i am 18 tabling SNGs, im not sure if there is any way to directly translate that to a number of cash tables, but i think i could probably 8-10 table cash

Current Bankroll - stars bankroll is 11k, when the party crashed i cashed out about 10k from there and deposited 1k on stars. I also have about 1k on FTP which i dabble in 6max cash with.

What i expect to get from this arrangement - to learn how to play 6max NL cash well and be able to make a solid return at it. I dont mind giving up the time to play cash, or giving up 70% of the winnings, i am basically willing to devote myself to playing with little return in order to learn how to play cash and be able to then move out on my own with my own bankroll for cash and be successful at it

Please provide:

Age: 25 and a half

Experience at all forms of poker: Played just over 2,500 SNGs - mostly at the $11/$22 level, but now at the $55/$109 level on Party. I am on an awesome hot streak, with about 16% ROI at the $55s and $109s.

Before SNGs, I played limit, working my way up from a $50 deposit for .5/1 up to about $1300 and back down to about $500, playing at up to 2/4. Then I tried some NL cash, found that I'd play well before making a mistake for my whole stack - so figured that losing a buyin of a SNG was better than losing a buyin of cash. So I started playing SNGs, and came across here around that time.

I often also play cash live, and seem to be a solid winner there at up to $5/$5 ($200 buyin) at Sydney's Star City Casino, and up to $2/$3 ($200 buyin) at Melbourne's Crown Casino. I think more than anything else that's due to their poor play than my excellence.

I'm also heading down to Melbourne this week to play a couple of satellites and hopefully qualify for the Aussie Millions.

Most tables you can see yourself playing: Currently play 6-12 at Party/Empire, depending on how many SNGs are available. When US players were on there, I was often playing 12.

I use MTH, which is a massive help for multitable play (hence its name, I guess) but I understand it doesn't work across at PS yet.

Current bankroll: $6k

What you expect to get out of this arrangement: Learning how to play cash - add variety and depth to my skill set.


And some questions of my own for myself:

What else do you have to offer: As you might've seen me post in the past, I've got a spare room to rent out in Newcastle/Australia. I'd be happy to host you and/or FutureDoc for a few weeks/months for some intensive training.

Might be a little crowded if you're both here at the same time though....

Medium Term Poker Goal: Save up enough to fund a significant tourist trip across the US.

Age: 21

Experience: I dabbled in cash games at pokerstars and got crushed. I was playing 5 cent 10 cent. Pretty sad I know. Then I switched to two table tournaments at pokerstars and started to build my roll from 50 bucks. I started to 4 table the 1.75 and slowly build it to about 200 bucks. It took me like 1000 games of 1.75 to build my roll. Then I realize there was no future in two table tournaments because it fills up so slow so I moved to single table tournament starting with 6.50's. Then I started to add tables and move up to the 16's. I played probably like 1500 or more 16's and tried to move to the 27's and got crushed. Then I moved to ftp and started playing the 6.50 then moved to the 12's then to the 24's.

Tables: I 12 table the 24's right now and in the future I want be able to beat 5 cent 10 cent cash.

Bankroll: My current bank roll is about 14k.

What I want out of it: I want to 12 table cash games in the future.

- Experience at all forms of poker:

too much. after about the 1.5 mil hand mark it does weird things to your hands. long before that it does weird things to your head.

- Most tables you can see yourself playing:

my best was 10 tabling 6max limit for about 700 hands/hour (see the hand thing above)

- Current bankroll:

rarely enough to prevent worry

- What you expect to get out of this arrangement:

nothing, I'm just really bored, so don't pick me.

[Pasterbator]

WOW. Lots of applications.

Well, im gonna leave this up for a day or so to make sure everyone has had an opportunity to see it.

After giving this LOTS of thought, I think i will also start coaching separately. However, i wont start this until i have at least gotten the ball rolling with my first two students.

FWIW, the numbers in the OP are not definitely the numbers i will use, but they will be VERY close. I want to talk this over with a bunch of people to make sure no one is getting screwed in the deal.

Keep the apps coming in. I enjoy reading about everyone's background anyway.
