Title: just testing the water for staking... Post by: sofa----king on October 11, 2008, 11:37:47 AM here goes,my situation,
i stopped playing poker just over a year ago as i found that my bankroll management was pathetic,and i would blow the lot on the roulette wheel at the end of the night. this is what i propose im looking for someone to open a new account on a site of thier choice there name there account as i dont have a credit card out here(mel has, but i promised i wouldnt use hers) im looking for someone to put say £500 into this account of thier choice and i would play ONLY STT around the $20$50 buyin and the very odd long shot of $10-$50 f/o tournaments. i dont have any records of my play,because of this i would say to the staker that IF i blow the lot being stupid i would give them the full £500 in cash when back in the uk on one of my trips back buying cars/trucks. i am being honest in this post and letting you all know that i was one of the biggest winning cash players in cardiff,,,i must say i never won on line as my game consisted of ...weekend winning £10k live going to ladbrokes on a monday morning and sticking £3k in the laddies account and playing $10-$20 trying to hit the jackpot,it didnt happen.mind you my h/u and stt without blowing my trumpet out of 10 stt i would win atleast 6-7 and heads up out of 10 i would easily win 8-9.i know this is hard to belive but i used to play stt to stop me blowing off on the cash games.... i dunno i just feel i havent played for a while and i feel i i have more patients of not steaming and going potty,i am only looking for one staker for this. i dont even know if i can play online from cyprus...i would have to see. the % for this would be discussed im not a greedy person i just want to play with someone elses money,but dont forget if i blow it being stupid i would pay them the cash when back in the uk..... anyway any questions fire away....i feel like im on dragons den lol.,.,., regards james...

Title: Re: just testing the water for staking... Post by: sofa----king on October 11, 2008, 08:57:43 PM well why am i not staking myself if i am so confident//.,.,.,
i would do my bollox straight away and just get one of my mates to reload asap and keep doing my bollox... i feel i would be a lot more carefull with someone elses ££££ and of course i would love my staker to come on here and let everyone as i would how i would roll up £500 to £3k by christmas.,.,i think 50-50 would be fair???
