Is it +EV for me to take on Neverwin

[Neal_Schon]

Hey,

I'm new to this forum. Often, folks make posts along the lines of "I have such and such a plan to go pro by playing at these stakes and making so many big blinds per hour and so on". I have a different approach, based on the theory that a professional, while smarter than me, has less information. That is, there is tons of information on professional players available. But pros have no information on me. So, as an experiment, I've chosen an internet pro at random (Neverwin) and I've collected all of the information I could (from his site and watching him play) and studied it. I'm pretty sure I have his betting pattern figured out.

Now, I'm an above average mid\low stakes limit player (.50\$1 at pokerstars, usually) and I've been playing for about six months and I'm up. So I'm pretty good, but I probably couldn't take Neverwin based just on stone cold ability alone. Thats where the "edge" I get from the footage comes in. So I figure I can probably take him to school for a while in cash games before he has a chance to study my style and figure out how I'm outplaying him hand after hand after hand after hand. So basically, here are my questions:

1. Do any of you know of other poker players who have gone pro and earned a profit this way?

2. Are any of you interested in offering financing? Neverwin only plays in high stakes cash games, so I'd probably need a couple hundred thousand in financing to get started. If you're interested, or know anyone who might be, send a PM and we can discuss terms. I really think this is a profitable idea.

If financing proves difficult, maybe Neverwin will finance me himself. He's probably pretty arrogant and thinks he can beat me, so I wouldn't be surprised if he floats me a loan. And then, if I do lose, it would be in his interest to coach me so I gain the skills I need to make the money back.

Anyway, I think I'm ready to get out of the kiddie pool, make some moves, and hurt Neverwin in a cash game.

Comments appreciated,
