looking to stake people part 3

[KSOT]

I made my first deposit of $50 to Pokerstars 2 years ago and have made tens of thousands from it and never redeposited since. I started on $5.50 SNGs then got some Sklansky books and moved up the microlimit full ring LHE ladder from $0.05/$0.10 up to $5/$10. Around this time the games were drying up but I was stubborn and afraid of NL. I planned on switching eventually but somewhere between I learned to play PLO and fell in love with it. Whenever I play cash games online now it's PLO 99% of the time. The only times I willingly play NLHE are in tournaments and when I go to the casinos.

Nevertheless, I desperately want to learn the finer points of the game and be able to confidently grind money from the 6-max games online like everyone else does. It's nice to have options and I like the sound of the supposed low variance. I think one problem of mine is the patience NLHE requires. I'm so used to playing 40% of my hands in PLO that sitting around waiting for playable NLHE hands drives me crazy sometimes. But the main problem for me is definitely the fear of losing money since you're generally risking a lot in any big NLHE hand. As much as I'd like not to be, I am a major nit when it comes to money and the pressure gets to me sometimes (I would play 10x as many PLO hands as I do if not for this). Fear has kept me from moving up limits even though I am massively overrolled for any game I currently play. This is where you guys could come in hopefully. If the fear of losing my rent money were removed (yep I'm a small stakes pro, sad I know), I think I could be a powerful NLHE player with a little guidance. I'm generally not confident about most aspects of life, but I know that I am an intelligent person and I know I'm capable of beating any form of poker up to a point.

You may not find this useful, but here are my PLO stats since I switched from my desktop to my laptop (under 10k hands). About half of my play in this time has been on Cake Poker and they're not PT compatible =/ If you're are kind enough to consider me and you'd like to see more stats, I have ~120k hands of the small stakes LHE I mentioned and ~50k more hands of PLO on my old computer. I also have all of the hand histories from Cake which I have been killing people on for months. I would just have to hook everything up and connect it to the internet and blah blah blah to get it all so I couldn't do it right this second. Let me know if you want to see more.



As for what limits I'm interested in being staked at, I really couldn't say. I think that would be best left up to the judgment of yourself and your peers. If I had to pick a starting point, I would say $100NL or $200NL.

Also, if you guys are interested in staking for tournaments, I live in Vegas and would really like to hit the local tournament scene more often, but again... the money worries stop me. I usually aim to make at least $100 a day, so it hurts me when I lose $100 on some super turbo local tournament. Obviously I am massively +EV in any of them, but the variance would probably drive me mad if I were paying for them every night.

Edit: Some more proof from this laptop that I win monies.

Hello. I would love to be coached/staked for nl400 (I'm actually more interested in the coaching then the staking). My name on FTP is azn fella. I run bad and play even worse, yet I manage to maintain a positive, albeit small, winrate (probly 2.5ptbb/100 over last 100k hands or so playing nl400-600). I'm too lazy to post the graphs/screenshots here as I just got done writing a flame email to full tilt out of sheer tilt. Plz PM if you are interested in staking me moniez.

I am working on grinding and trying to move up to decently profitable stakes...
Currently enrolled in 1 college class and graduating in december (bachelors of computer engineer) = lots of free time for me

Have accounts on FTP , UB, STARS and a few others all w/ rakeback if available.

Mainly want the coaching to learn the game reinforce the basic

Defiently want to be taught and the money will come I am confident.
My game is kind of limited by bankroll now...

Also do not want to play super high...
Bankroll is currently for $25NL but I am trying to grind it up

Ideally like playing 4 6max tables (my current site is low traffic non resizeable tables)

[smurfitup]

I made about 80k playing 10-20 sh limit (1.9bb/100 over 80k hands)/40-80 live limit hold em, but blew most of it tilting at big games online. i just graduated from yale, and i think some posters here can vouch for my potential. i played scary_tiger heads up 10-20 lhe last week, and he quit me, which made me feel like God. i'm going to start 4-tabling .25/.5 nlhe in a week, but with proper staking and coaching, i'm confident that could beat 1-2 or 2-4 nl.

edit: my biggest problem is tilt-control. playing live, this has never been an issue, but it resurfaces time and time again when playing online. i mention this because i want to give you guys a fair picture of my negative and positive attributes as a poker player.

These are from the old party poker days, man looking these up made me miss party. Anyways these are for sit n goes and my ITM rate is 43.08 over 1100 sngs. A stake at the 11 or 22 level would be great. You can look these stats up at pokerprophecy if you would like. I do just as well if not better at tournaments as well.

Do you stake/coach tournamentplayers too?

Because I know I am a good tournament player, who with coaching and staking will be even better! I have a 15. place in the Sunday million as well as many final tables among buy in of $20-$50 type of tournament. I also have some knowlegde of cashgames althought tournaments is my strength.

I would really like to be staked for .50/1 or 1/2 NL, and am able to put in up to 10 hours a day of 4-6 tabling. I'm a solid winner live, and here are my PT stats, I don't have a huge number of hands in my DB because it took me over 2 years of online play before discovering the merits of 2+2 and PT and the like. I no longer have an online roll due to paying my own way through school and paying off some debt I accumulated as a student. A number of 2+2ers know me personally, and would be willing to vouch for my trustworthiness. Here is a screenshot of my PT.

[LetsGetItOn]

Well I don't have PT graphs or anything anymore (used to have some doozies) going busto makes me delete them.

There's a little msPaint storyboard of how I got to 100k from $50 before and than busto playing 1k/2k horse at tilt. I played winning 30/60 o8 at stars for a couple weeks last year before aswell really wish I had that PT Database (blew my roll on 5k hu's that time when I had 30kish) . I would really like to get staked for O8 cash games i've been pretty busto for awhile. I'm rockin [censored] at o8 sngs also.
