blonde poker forum

I would love to play the 2,500,000 tourney on ipoker (would play it on blonde of course) but I'm not sure anyone would be interested in staking $1500 for a player who can only state his own confidence in himself without the results to back it up.The fact is i haven't played that many mtts and most of the ones i have played have been crapshoots which i haven't done much of note in.I have only played two very well structured tourneys imo one being the apat event a while back where i was chip leader overnight, chipleader final table and then took a pretty sick beat 5 handed to busto.The other as some will know is the equal chance main event which i ran deep in and finished 10th.I feel really confident that i can do well in any tournament that has a similar type of structure as the two aforementioned as i feel my game really suits this style of poker.

So what i was wondering was would anyone be interested in staking me to play a couple of sats to get into this event (if anyone's wondering why I'm not just paying the amount to play in the sats myself $100/200 is still too much for me to pay at the moment)If i then qualified for the event i would split any profits 75/25(in stakers favour) with stake returned 1st.I attempted to qualify for 5 events I believe for the last ECOOP series (i would say i had maybe 2,3  attempts at most at a single event) and qualified for three of them and this was playing both stages 1 & 2 in order to sat into the event so i would say i play sat mtts pretty well imo.

Obviously as the event is this sunday night i haven't given much time to sort this out but I'll ask Kev if he could sort a transfer out if anyone is interested and if he's happy to do so i would say if anyones interested please either pm me or let me know here by Friday night and then Kev can sort it Saturday then i could play either a sat running on Saturday or sunday whichever's best.

PS Clearly it's nowhere near the standards of The Tanks staking request but hopefully I've included everything needed.Cheers

Come on guys/gals you could at least flame me now i'm just lonely.

You are asking people to stake you in a sat and then get only 50% of profits, its a joke.

I have already staked someone outright for this event and they are on 20% + a much better and experienced player.

They do stage 2 feeders for as little as $6, where you try to win a seat in a stage 1 qualifier then if you qualify for that you're in the $2,5000,000 proper.
Have you tried any of these first?

Need help, very tired.
Why is staking someone to play a sattelite a bad thing?

Other than it being a longer shot to see a return, but would that not offset by the smaller outlay?

If they have no chance and offer you a small %...

Sorry about that guess i'm not to clued up it must seem on how staking works as never seen anyone only getting 20% for a tourney before guess thats due to me playing a sat first.Anyway cheers for the reply much appreciated if i'm daft enough to ask againfor a different stake i'll try to make it fairer for the stakee i wasn't trying to con anyone obviously, just a bad proposal from me sorry for wasting peoples time.


I played one stage 2 got through to stage 1 but bustod in that as it was r/a and i didn't have enough in my account for either lol hmm.Haven't been on the i-poker network much so haven't played on there recently.I may have a shot at a couple of the stage 2's myself and see how it goes.Obviously my chances are qualifying for the event would be greater if i could play one of the better stage 1 events with more seats but as i said in op to much money for me at the moment.

I gotcha now

So the OP proposal is almost like selling 50% of yourself at 2.0? (except for the stake back first part)

what about trying to qualify, and then sell some shares in your action if you make it  ??

Ps. Just because flushy mocks your proposal it doesnt automatically make it a bad one.... Flushy isnt God, he just thinks he is ;)

Flushy IS God.







This opinion has nothing to do with the fact that he is currently staking me.

I didn't realise this  obviously but glad to see an experienced player such as yourself hadn't either.Thanks for your comments

sorry i was watching pornography all day

[ x ] the staking board is becoming a bit of a joke.

[ x ] Glad the staking board is here.

[   ] Glad bolt is here.

Easy mistake to make (or so I tell myself), what with all the horses needed threads that dot around the place.
They're just a bit of low limit fun.



I suppose you could use Flushy's feedback and rethink the numbers more along the 80:20 line.

why bother posting if you have nothing constructive to add?

 moodatoo mate, from what I've seen, you have a promising poker future ahead!

I'm playing in the main event and would be willing to stake you in comp running the same night on blonde.

Its the 30k double stack ($100 buy in) starting at 8.45pm Sunday.

50/50 split after stake back, if you're interested.

lol cock

"why bother posting if you have nothing constructive to add"

i agree

FYP

All the previous 50/50 stuff done on here by people like the clam and myself is done as a laugh that's why its always low limit stuff, we aren't doing it for profit, putting losing players into comps and expecting them to have a 100% roi is obv a random punt.

If i actually think a player has a decent edge and they ask me to play in a comp i usually look at 70-30, if its a larger buyin like this then i want more as my exposure is greater.

I would never seriously stake anyone in any comp @ 50-50 let alone one way out of their field of experience.

Fair enough for you.........but I'm sure stakers are quite capable of working out whats a laugh/random punt/potential Red Rum and what they feel is a fair/encouraging split.

The OP asked for the post ripple

nice touch nick. wp.

Yeah but to be fair..staking someone to sat into something that is way outside of his bankroll and comfort zone and then getting 50-50 from that tourney isn't a good deal.

I used to play a lot of sats on Stars last year and did OK out of them...qualified for plenty bigger tourneys (didn't always play them ..in fact hardly ever did as I don't have the game for a 650$ tourney on stars..and it bought me into several more sats where I did have a decent edge) but I wouldn't ask for more then 15-20% of the profit (if any) of the final tourney as you'd be soo far out of your comfort zone in a 1500$ tourney, it's unreal.

staking for sats would work better if you have an edge in the sats and the staker wants to play the ME..(especially if it's someone who is a winning player in the bigger tourneys) and then get 10% off him :)

Just my humble opinion obviously.

Firstly can i say thanks to everyones reply's they're much appreciated

Can i also again apologise for the ridiculous suggestion of a 50/50 split which i now see that it was as i just didn't think understand it properly.Flushy most of your comments have been fair and correct your point of me having no chance is just wrong but as i said that's your opinion.I also don't agree with the point that i would be way out of my comfort zone.The amount of the buy in would tbh affect me a tad if i was fully staked in by someone else as everyone is more edgey when it's someone else's money however if i sat'd into with my own money or someone elses the buy in wouldn't affect me and i think i would have a good chance of going deep in.I've played a $1000 event on ipoker before and i was unaffected by the amount i was playing at, got quite deep but didn't cash think i finished around 300/1500 losing a race for double average chip stack.

Also thanks for the comments Nick,Top man and also the offer of staking which i will take you up on thanks, if your still interested.My thinking for this staking was if you don't ask ... ... i know i could do well in this tourney, guess i'll have to play a few more sats for the next one and get it won  ;)

Cheers All

why don't people make things like this their first post, always have to have the bullshit and piss takes first.

because that's no fun

Staking in a single mtt is high risk. The way you stake Rookie is the only way to do it if you are looking for a decent return and not looking for the big score which only a few will get in any tournament (excluding high price buy ins).

I've had some stakes on here in the stars $30k (3000+ runners) and the tllt $24k (1000+ runners). If i had gone on to finish top 5 then a staker could get a good return for a one off punt.

Stars

1 * $11 stake with a cash for $55.60 ($22.30 profit each)

Tilt

1 * $26 stake with a cash for $74 ( $24 profit each)

Barry then staked me once and gave me 2 more for the $24k. I had 2 cashes for $47 but having played these too i have 1 game left.

After 7 * $26 stakes and 1 * $11 stake i'm not much in profit yet there are people who think i've done well because a high percentage of stakees don't cash and i've had 4 decent runs although not yet had a good cash. A run for their money yes but certainly not great value imo.






I'm sure plenty would like to stake Moorman1 but 35+ non cashes even for a big winner is possible   http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/fulltiltpoker/MoormanI/poker/results/BA58EA0A1BEA4A37BD3ED2C83E96632C.html?t=2

This is pretty standard when playing so many MTTs though and running bad, so i don't get the point in saying this...


Gl whatever happens Mondatoo.

It depends how often you do it surely, look at Channing does loads of one off's with people, he is doing alright out of it!

Wonder if he'd be interested in staking me then  ;)

P.S Be nice now Flushy

I wish you all the luck with it, i hope someone backs you and i hope you go on to come 3rd (after myself and my horse)

I didn't post anything earlier because i didn't see the point of saying i aint investing but seeing as you asked for people to post i did.

Thanks,I appreciated your comments (most of them anyway lol).Best of luck in it i will also have to wish you 3rd as i've already wished 1st to ripple and 2nd to your horse  ;)

What happened in the three ECOOP main events??

If you can't afford to play this event but feel you have a big edge in slow deep stacked tournaments then I would suggest spending the weekend grinding in the Pokerstars deepstack tournaments.  Hopefully your advantage will pay off and you will win enough to pay in directly to the iPoker tourno.

Remember there is no hurry to play this specific big event - they happen pretty often nowadays across the major networks, so another will be happening once you have built up your balance.  It'll be much more satisfying playing for 100%!

Good luck!

I don't see how staking someone in a sat and getting a 50/50 return in the main event is "ridiculous". Ok maybe you could argue for 60/40 in favour of the backer but not sure about less than that.

Just my opinion, I don't do staking as I don't see it as a profitable use of funds on the whole, with the exception being friends etc but that's not for the $.

Also on the point of Channing "doing alright for himself" at the one off stakes, you'd have to ask him, but don't be fooled by the occasional big scores. There have been lot's of "one offs" eating into those.

hmm

If you had staked Moorman1 on fulltilt for those consecutive non cashes would you have said that was enough beforehand ? Of course if you were lucky it would have been the Stars $500 where he scored big.

Short term = risky especially if the fields are big. Long term and a good horse will end up a good investment.

Sandy

Thanks for the comments.I came 29th in one event (however this was omaha h/l) in they other 2 lost a race in both quite deep,Got to learn how to win those races lol.The omaha h/l game i'd actually only been playing the game for a very short period so would say it was the skills I learn't playing the hold'em form of poker as much as my skill at h/l

A blast from the past.  Good player and I hope you take your opportunity with Ripple.

Cheers That's actually not a bad pic imo lol

Yeah i did take up Nick's generous offer.

That's the one bad beat I've never managed to forget lol hmm

Well had my 1st blast at a sat with my own money since my op to the princely sum of a $3 buy in stage 2 no rebuy needed and managed to get a seat through to stage 1 so will make a deposit so i have enough for the add on if i get that far lol.GL ME, ONE TIME AND ALL THAT

got a seat last night in a $25rb one time weeeeeeeeeeeee.

You might find someone that wants to stake you for the add-on in exchange for 50%?

I disagree. I play those weekend tournaments a LOT (as the boyband and others will know lol) and even if you grind your way to something like 20th/1100+ you're lucky to get $50.

And before someone asks why I still play 'em, it's a good way to get used to playing live deepstack tourneys like the GUKPT.

I'm hinting a touch of sarcasm hear ??? It  wasn't ment as a brag quite obv but just that i've giving myself oppurtunity to get in the tourney as I believe some people on here would be happy to see me qualify since my staking thread for this never really took off which was fair enough so thought i'd say that i had giving myself chance to still get into it.Sorry if you see that as a joke but a don't have hundreds of pounds to throw around to play sats so this is my one opportunity to get in the tourney.GL to you at the tables m8


As the add on is only £12.50 i will be able to afford that myself it was the more expensive sats with more seats in that i was looking for a stake in.Cheers


Yeah i was thinking that myself i think it takes about 6 hours or so to get down to 20th as well so not really that profitable to play these imo as nobody has that big an edge to guarentee you'd ft all time(unless your mooorman but i hear he plays at a higher level).There's obv a balancing act needed with this my local grosvenor has a deepstack tourney running on a wed night but it's a £15 buy in and with the numbers they get it'd probably be lucky for the winner to see over £200 so the tourneys just not worth playing imo.I would gladly pay £50-100 and regularly play tourneys with similar structure to what i posted in OP but not to play a sat with 1500 chips and 10 min blinds.

Edit Just checked and the last one that played at grosvenor in newcastle got 40 runners 1st prize got £210 top 6 got paid 3rd was £90 and they probably played til 5am so no that great with work next morning in acouple hours time.There just isn't that many really well structured tourneys with a decent affordable buy in

I sort of agree, but if you satellite in on the cheap, then I look at is that even the $50 or so profit on the ME entry is still a nice profit on the amount you've actually paid so I'm pleased (even though it may look like  I have a low EV) to make the money and see it as a good thing.    Paying full wack I'd be the same obv.

Good luck mondatoo, this the sort of thing I try and do too.  Keep us updated :)

no sarcasm, just a chirp from me, badly timed, admittedly

No probs I had just woke up when I read it and i don't like mornings lol
