Default Poker team plan... Read if you are tired of playing online alone

This idea just came up on my mind today
If the description is rough, please bear with me
The online games are getting harder and harder to beat, and my eyes are weaker than common people due to an eye operation in the past
That's why I mainly play live games in Australia these days
However, it would be kinda boring/lonely without a few true friends in the same room
I like team sports much better than something like boxing, which probably means that I prefer to work with someone rather than doing it all alone
Being a pro online isn't the lifestyle I actually prefer
Unfortunately I don't have any real life friends who can beat the same level as I do.
I am up & coming at this moment, therefore I still have a lot to learn and it will probably be faster with someone who has similar skill
Anyway, here comes my idea
I will be searching for two to three players who
1) Canbeat NL$500 live game
2) Doesn't steam after badbeats (It looks embarrassing at live)
3) Have a good personality (Easy going and fun loving)
4) Enjoys socilaizing (I definitely ain't a poker geek, I used to be very active before I played poker)
5) Is honest and don't bluff partners (It's allowed in poker tables, of course)
6) Is a tidy, neat and ok looking person (Better have some sense of fashion as wll)
7) Is motivative, and aim for winning a big MTT or playing high stake games in the future

The ultimate goal would be something like "West Life" in poker scene. A group of good players who improves each other and enjoy travelling around. Having fun (/w women) during our trip will be essential. I think my $15K monthly profit at current doesn't mean much, but it should be enough for a start (Bankroll/skill wise).

As a team, I will try to help everyone improve their game, and if I ain't the best in the team, I will be more than eager to move up to the same level coz I don't like to be behind.

I don't know how many pro players who is in my level and likes this idea would read this, but I hope this plan will eventually work out. I live in australia right now and enjoy the soft NL$500 games down here. However, I don't have any friends here and I will discuss with my team members where to play before WSOP. Basically any places in the world which can make easy money would be fine. I will go back to play online if I can't find the team members. Please, take a while and consider this if you are who I am looking for. I know there are lots of high stake pros who are friends in real life. I wish I can work with a few players who have the same goal to reach that level. I have a good organiziation skill to path the way to success. Looking forward to hearing from any of you.

P.S Just read my background in another thread. I am currently 26 yo and achieve 11PTBB/100 on NL$100 FR 12 tabling. Used to be a FL pro online up to as high as $50/$100. I can help you on any games for free if you decide to join the team that I accept. Basically as long as I find 2 players I will start the plan.


Unfortunately I haven't posed on this forum much. Therefore it's hard to get a "read" on me :P. I basically just don't want to do this poker job without any colleagues. This is a fun game to work for living and the income behind should be able to make it even more interesting to form a team. (Imagine 3 team members with Hugo Boss suit jump on Porsche/Ferrari and go clubbing together at midnight, after killing the NL$2000 games, I bet it's a good lifestyle)

I have no idea what "the crew" is... any information?

New Jersey? Is the cash game soft there?

before i decide to join your team, you need to post some balla stories.

pictures would help too.



also, beating the 5/10/10 $500 buy-in game at StarCity doesn't count as being able to beat a proper $500NL game. That game is absurd.

I'll join only if there's collusion involved. I want to get the "bad boys of poker" image going on.

I'll probably be down for something like that.

My name's Giancarlo (21) and i live in Miami so the nightlife is right up my alley.

An idea for a poker team has been floating in my head for a while actually.

Keep me posted StarRain
