blonde poker forum

the stake

i am looking for a stake to play STT's on blondepoker. i am looking initially to be staked for the month of September, with the intention of continuing on if all parties are happy. i am looking for a total stake of $1100 to play $20+2 10 person tables. i intend to play on average 30 games per day between noon and 7pm. i will be playing the regular speed table, called cambridge and the turbo table, called bakersfield. i will be playing the tables in batches of 6 at a time with a small break in between each batch. i wont have mixed batches though, so i can focus on the discipline in hand.


the stake of $1100 is exactly 50 buyins. i am looking to chop this $1100 into palatable portions of 10% @ $110. as i am not looking to increase the bankroll during the month, all daily profits will be will be split 50/50 between myself and the stakers as a group, which will be sent at the end of the days play. if i have a losing day, the following days will be aimed at restoring the bankroll to $1100. with blondepoker i will be getting 30% rakeback, which works out @$18 per day on the assumption i am playing 30 tables per day @$2 per table. all in all rakeback should be 500$ per month, which will be split as profit if it is excess of the $1100 bankroll.
(one small amendment that i may change is the working month starting on rakeback day +1 until rakeback day a month later, in real terms 8th sep-7th oct, as opposed to the 1st sep-3oth sep)

my game

i feel my STT game is fine on the field so to speak, but id like to improve off it. i am looking keep daily records open to all on a thread on blonde, with insight and analysis most welcome as long as it is constructive. 


expectations

my expectations are that i will make profit over and above the rakeback, but i honestly do not know at what level. though i am extremely confident i will not lose your money.


motivation

this is the second most important idea of this stake proposal, behind wining. i want to have aims and when backers invest you do not want to disappoint, this i hope and expect will be what drives me on.


past performance

i have several accounts over the cryptologic network, which is the only place I've played a large volume.

some names for sharkscope

devltrout
poohead
fergus8
longlegs
freshmeat

all seem to have a similar graph of early rise and late fall and i think all are in profit, if this freefalling occurs i want to be able to nip it in the bud, and keeping a thread open on blonde will certainly highlight it so i can correct it and essentially become a better player.

 
discipline


this has been a problem for me, winning at STT then losing at cash and MTT. as for cash games, first of all i don't particularly like them and if I'm playing them you can be sure its to make a quick buck at stakes about 10 levels above my bankroll. MTT's i enjoy playing as a bonus almost, though a long term goal of mine is to get better at these.

that is why this staking proposal is just for STT and i will not be involved in anything bar $22 STT. i will post my blonde username on the thread and your are welcome to shop me to the stakers if i abuse their trust.

i hope this interests you and you post an offer on this thread

thanks

Good proposal Fergus - and a good bounce-back from the other thread.

I don't know your game but you come across as though you are going to put a lot into this so I would like to take 10%.

Make that another 10% sold bringing you up to 35%. I will ask Kev to sort out the transfer tomorrow.

300 posts?

what is the craic with 300 posts?

you're not allowed to post untill you've got 300 posts

LOL

Okay wait a second here, I have been a member since april 2007, I don't post often as I only know a few of the Glasgow guys on the forum and generally don't feel the need to post +1 when someone writes something funny or clever.

I enjoy reading the forum and if i did something in the poker world may post a little more, but as there have been no big scores yet, vegas trips, or strategy advice (trust me no one would want it from me), I do not see the need to post 300 times...

I am not asking to be staked far from it, infact I am offering to stake fergus who I know from playing him at cincins a few times and seeing him about with boba fett!

He seems like a decent guy, so thought I it would be a bit of fun. Also say I want to put some people into a tournie, am I not allowed to do that as i have not posted enough?

Sorry for the rant, just seems a little crazy!

If there is an issue rookie I can pull out?

Steven

+1

-1

I thought the staking restriction was for receiving stakage?? at the end of the day its your money and can send it to whoever you want regardless of whats said on here(surely???)

I agree with this, its to stop people who could be conmen nicking off with our money, cant see an issue with someone wanting to give away their money.

Also, as you two seem to know each other in real lfe, cant see how anyone can stop you.

agree, just seems a little lame.

I mean if I spent a couple of hours putting +1 (-1 in rookie's case) at the end of every post on the forum I could be up to 300, then I could effectively be staked...

Anyway I will try and post more to get to the www.300holygrailposts.com club ASAP

Steven

this is all bolts fault imo

Dont just have to do +1, you can do A+++ or  rotflmfao.

Just to let you know the link doesnt work.

A+++ don't know how to do wee guy laughing but lol!

too funny rinaldi lol

cheers cambo, would rather be quiet but sometimes the the three outers build up inside me and I have to unleash the retorts on the forum junkies like rookie, who is probably totally sound, and he just picked a bad moment to try and act all "he's not our gang!"

Anyway back to staking fergus8, who if I remember rightly still needs 20% to kick this off tomorrow!

I'll do 5% if Kev wants to sort out the transfer.

fyp.

I dont make the rules...

lets all stop fergus getting staked then for lack of posts then eh? gimme piece

guys the relevant rule is

-"You may offer to stake players, or ask for staking, or apply for an offer of staking, but only if you have a minimum of 300 forum posts and have been a member of the forum for at least three months."


Whilst I understand the poster here knows the OP so the rule seems a bit ridiculous, its to try to minimise the risk of unknown posters stitching up the person asking to be staked by promisng funds, with which the person then makes plans, and not delivering or more usually a new poster asking for staking, receiving funds then doing a bunk.

Nothing stopping two friends, one with less than 300 posts, making an arrangement but off forum please

cheers

i smell a wind up


you cannot be serious

Not at all

We all wish Fergus the best with the staking, hope its a success for him and backers

cheers silo 75% taken

that leaves 15% by my math  8)

yeah cmon guys

i want my horse started

Try your own staking thread..............its almost worked for Fergus he only needs ermmmmmmmmmmm 15% more

If I don't look at this thread for 24 hours, will it help?

Busto yet?

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=36547.0

he has made a bloody good start... fair play to him.

nothing to see


deleted

Damn, only just seen this thread. Is it too late to sign up for staking fergus?

I have a good feeling about this.

gold

I missed all the fergus stuff.

Did he scam players in the stake thread?

He managed to do the whole stake in one night playing cash games, chasing losses.

He paid back some people, mainly the ones who knew where he lived, so he didn't get a kicking. Don't know whether the others have got their money back yet.

TY

Not yet, obvioulsy he'll pay us back in time for Christmas though so we don't have to go without

How much did he scam?

His outstanding list

    * bhoywonder $46
    * cambo Paid
    * daveshoelace $62
    * eck $151
    * grannydee paid
    * jakally $160
    * llevan $160
    * madasahatstand paid
    * phatbhoy $160
    * silo graham $80
    * thechipprince $80
    * thewhisper $160

normally I'm all for laziness and just getting cliff notes on a really long thread but in this case you're only conning yourself. the thread where he does the grimming is a cracker, read it all the way through, you won't regret it

I just have got halfway through it lol great thread.

Lol, I sold my Fergus debt to BobaFett last night for a glass of pepsi

Quality

 rotflmfao

you did well to get such a good price baz :)

I originally said a gram of coke, but I was still happy with it.

Apparantly Fergus was back to his grimming ways again at his local casino the other night.



 :'(  I miss Fergus
