what would be the best way to find some 1 to spot you for a tourney or something?

A good start would be to show that you have some semblance of skill at the poker table. Maybe contribute something to the forum?

An even better one would be to not make your first post on the topic of getting a fake ID for atlantic city... Oops.

An even better one would be to not ask questions that are obviously really requests. Honesty works best. If you said "Hey dudes I'm 18 and want a stake" it would go over a lot better than what you just posted.

There are alot of people around these parts who will stake good players, but nobody in their right mind is going to give a stake to somebody with 6 posts who hasn't so much as mentioned poker strategy on the boards.

On that note... Try the bank? Student line of credit? Who knows.

You are obviously so good you don't need staking. Just do the same again and use your winnings to destroy the poker world and keep all your winnings yourself.

OP, the funny thing about staking is that when you are actually "ready" to be staked, meaning someone will stake you, you will understand enough to realize staking is generally not the best idea.

Players will stake you when they believe you have a good chance of winning. If you have a good chance of winning a tourney or beating a cash game, why would you ever want to give up a piece of your action, instead of keeping it all for yourself?

Selling action for small stakes is never a good idea.
