(OP Amended to reflect current situation)

Schedule:
All games to be played on PokerStars

6.00am $109 Turbo ($30k gtd)
6.30am $55 Turbo ($12k gtd)
7.30am $109 Turbo ($15k gtd)
8.00am $51 Hyper Turbo ($2k gtd)
9.00am $109 Turbo ($15k gtd)
10.30am $25 Hyper Turbo ($2k gtd)
1.00pm $109 Turbo ($5k gtd)

Will also include any other turbo or hyper-turbo MTT of entry fee $25-$109 at my discretion.

Bankroll:
$6k.

% cut:
50:50, after stake-back, with make-up.

FPPs not included.

Shares:
At the end of each month, there will be a reinvestment period.

If bankroll is above $6k: Shares will be paid out to all investors. There will be an option to opt-out of your investment.

If bankroll is below $6k: The bankroll will roll over to the next month. If this occurs 2 months in a row, investors may choose to opt-out (some advanced warning required)

Make-up:
If we go busto: All investors will be owed the amount they invested in make-up. I will run another stake immediately after going busto.

Example 1:
You invest $600 (10%) in the 1st stake and it goes busto. You then invest another $600 in the 2nd stake. At the end of the 1st month in the 2nd stake:

If the bankroll is $12,000. You receive $300 in profits and $300 of make-up, and are still owed $300 in make up ... (you also are owed the $600 you invested)
If the bankroll is $18,000. You receive $600 in profits and $600 of make-up (all make-up is cleared) ... (you also are owed the $600 you invested)

Example 2:
You invest $600 (10%) in the 1st stake and it goes busto. You then invest $300 (5%) in the 2nd stake. In doing so you are only eligible to clear $300 of make-up owed to you. At the end of the 1st month in the 2nd stake:

If the bankroll is $12,000. You receive $150 in profits and $150 of make-up ... (you also are owed the $300 you invested)
If the bankroll is $24,000. You receive $450 in profits and $300 in make-up ... (you also are owed the $300 you invested)

Why you should invest:
The turbo fields at these times of day should be very soft. This has the potential to be very lucrative. I am one of the best MTT SNG turbo regs on PokerStars based on profit over the last 18-months. These MTTs will play pretty similar to 180-man MTT SNGs which I have a good record in. I will be able to put in a ton of volume as I will be playing on a majority of days available to me.

Why you shouldn't invest:
The variance is going to be potentially brutal. There is very reasonable chance of the stake going busto, so I would advise being prepared to invest twice. You must be comfortable with me playing these games alongside my own SNG grind.

Investment:
5% = $300
10% = $600

25% - Rupert - Paid
10% - the sicilian Paid
10% - AlexMartin "Paid"
10% - Simon Galloway - Paid
10% - skolsuper - Paid
10% - titaniumbean - Paid
10% - MC - Paid
5% - Sack it off - Paid
5% - Longy - Paid
5% - Mondatoo - Paid

1st Reserve - Greekstein
2nd Reserve - Rupert

what kind of ROI you think you can achieve mate over a decent sample?

..also, what would would happen if someone withdrew their stake, and you couldn't find a replacement? Reduced roll would mean greater chance of going bust - or would you put play on hold until stake was replenished?

soz if these are shite questions, i am potentially interested

From variance perspective what % of times do you expect the 6k to bust? What % of times do you expect the 2nd reload to bust? Base it on an expected 5-10% roi i guess. Just wondering how likely we would have to fire the 3rd and maybe 4th bullet etc

Think these are v fair questions, to be able to gauge the amount to invest knowing how likely I am going to need to recur my investment

Yeah totally fair questions.

ROI is a tough one. MI_Turtle seems like the best gauge at 42% ROI over ~800 games in $109 turbos. He is a SNG turbo grinder like me and has the best sample. I have ~30% ROI at 180-mans but I think these MTTs have higher fish:reg ratio. I think we're shooting for somewhere between 25-75% in the normal turbos. In the 18-mans I'm shooting for somewhere in the 5-15% range. Hyper-turbos were only introduced recently I guess 10-20% might be more realistic for those, but the fact they only have 2% rake might mean that is a conservative estimate.

If I couldn't find a replacement for someone withdrawing their stake I would buy the piece myself if it was a smaller chunk, even if only temporarily. If it was a bigger chunk I think waiting perhaps best option, because it's not like I can drop stakes to make up for a smaller roll.

Dubai, will try my best to answer. $6k is ~70 buy-ins. I think 50 buy-in swings have to be considered pretty standard. 100 buy-in swings happen. 150+ buy-ins are rare but feasible. I think 1st bullet will bust before making a return perhaps 20% of the time. 2nd bullet perhaps 5%. 3rd or more I would really hope is <1%.

Am happy for anyone to contribute to any of these thoughts.

Enclosed is my 180-man graph if that helps at all.

So we've put in $1200 and got out $1200 yet you are up $6k over the 2 stakes?  I think you missed out that we get our original stake back which is $600 also but then that leaves you with nothing on a $6k profit. I think profit splitting should always come last, so makeup, stakeback then profit split = $600 + $600 + $300 each.  (i'm sure this was more of an oversight than anything else unless i'm missing something)

Gl with this
Sorry but I can't take any %age as I have done my bolloxs staking Ppl.

Yeah agree with Rupert that you're doing things a bit about-face wrt makeup. In another example you say that if someone invested $600 for 10% twice and then the bankroll grows to $12k (i.e. breakeven) then they'd only get $900 back. What I think maybe you've done is only start counting makeup after it is lost and forgotten about stakeback in your examples.

If the deal is as I think it is and how you've described it, but not like it is in the examples, I'll take 10% please. I would take more but it's recently dawned on me how much Australia is going to cost.

tought life, get the violins out.

Sorry if I was unclear, when I wrote that I was presuming that the backer wasn't withdrawing from the stake and still had their money invested following on to the next month.

Stakeback is definitely included, otherwise this would be a pretty terrible proposal!

Cool thought that'd be the case i'll take 25% please

Balla! (ty)

I'll take 10% if you have any left MC.

I'd like 5% if it's still available.

Cheers for answers, will take 5% if still available

think ur fresh out of luck boys.

Anything left or drop out MC I will happily take - PM me if opportunity arises!

i think that this will be the thread of 2011

glgl James

I wish you the best of luck and think you'll win a bunch James.

I'm hoping this isn't thread of the year though.

would have taken some if not sold out, but defo think everyone is underestimating the variance. So would have small bets at 4-1 and 19-1 that a reload and 2 reloads are needed, only small bets cos obviously wouldnt be anti-funking someone etc

the reason it will be the thread to follow

just too big and too much varience for me too invest, glglglglglgl!!

Embrace the variance.

Good luck MC

It's certainly possible I might be underestimating the variance.

However field sizes are pretty small 150-300 entrants, and 15% of the field get paid as opposed to 10% in 180-mans. I hope I'm not toooooo off with my thinking.

I'll probably drop the Hyper-Turbos if we get off to a horror start.

All sold out now, thanks everyone for investing!

Can everyone (except Claypole - who I'm waiting to see if he gets the reserved piece too) please ship to Epitomised (Lincoln) on Stars, or PM me if you need my bank details. Tyty. Should be able to get cracking on the 1st/2nd Jan

PM sent mate, will sort when you've replied - like is said happy with 10% as basing on a 3 bullet scenario, if reserved doesn't come through and no other takers I'll have the 20 happily

If Dubai wants the extra 10% if reserved doesn't come through that's cool...his $$$$ are lucky! Just let me know

did I get 5 or have I been gazumped?

PM sent mate, just leaving office, so will sort transfer when you let me have amount sterling, it's about £385 for 10% I think don't want to short change you ;-)

Oops! Nearly ballsed up there! Fortunately a 5% reserve dropped out so you're in!

n1 :)  ...at work now but will ship on stars this evening

300 shipped on stars mate... glglglg

tyty

GLGLGL

Shipped on Stars. :)up

Tyty, will make sure this all gets spent on beer on New Years Eve goes towards the bankroll :)

$600 shipped on stars - good luck mate, looking forward to this ;-)

Hi James

Amount shipped on stars from raisingh3ll...

quick question.... are you playing on your Epitomised account..if so are you grinding on your own dime on this account as well..if so how will you separate?

Cheers & GL GL

Rec'd thanks.

Yes I will be playing on Epitomised account on my own dime. Don't really plan to keep rolls separate per cé but will keep a meticulous record of results so I know where the stake bankroll is at. Sharkscope should pretty much tell us where we're at anyway. Am planning to post an update at the end of every day I play. Am happy to send a screen shot to investors to show that I have my own bankroll on top of the stake...

Cheers James..... just wondered if you were gonna run 2 accounts thats all... look forward to the ride lolz

Nah my Dad doesn't play on PokerStars, only Full Tilt ;)

Tbh if he was playing on 2 seperate accounts I would want out. More chance of stars gg one of the accounts and causing a massive headache.

Yeah, lol would be pretty dodgy. Did put on OP that I would be grinding my usual games...would be pretty hard to play on 2 different computers, I misclick more than I'd like already!

Google docs spreadsheet specifically for the stake, all with % can view and see it being updated at any time?

Meh, don't really see the need for this if I'm posting daily updates ITT...

For sake of ease in tracking or whatever, investors can assume all of my scheduled-tournament action is included under the stake, seeing as I only intend to play the games mentioned in the schedule or similar tournaments with the same structure/buy-ins.

I'm assuming it's okay to play MTTs of similar structure to those mentioned in the schedule (ie. turbo or hyper-turbo tournaments of buy-in $20-109).

Should really have included this in OP, so if anyone objects please let me know asap. Just mentioning incase I want to play a couple of the evening turbos that's all.

nah couldn't care less gogogogo

Put in some seriously epic volume today playing one tournament (it was my mum's birthday and also had family get together with in-laws). Got off to a monster winning start as well (!)

Nice start :)

Btw, before we get too far in, are investors going to get their share of the FPP benefits from this staking? I don't know if we're talking about pennies here or what but it's usual to include things like this in staking deals to keep everyone's incentives aligned.

Chop it up.

Agreed - just do your thing and update ROI level at betwqeen 50% and 90% and i really don't give a dam ;-)

Good start

Hadn't really intended on including them, hence why I didn't mention them in OP.

How about at the end of the month, if account is below $6k, then the value of the FPPs will be added on to the bankroll. Also, if the account goes busto, then I use the value of FPPs to clear a little of the make-up I will owe everybody. However if stake profits then I get them?

Sigh

pls post more losing days so this thread is realistic at least. :)up

Yup yup, am grinding hard atm, not that it's doing me any good!

Yeah we've run insanely good so far, let's just hope we don't get overly doomswitched!

Great start James gl.
Any chance you can use this staking template for the future ?


Hey yall my names MC
I got for you an opportunity

I just need 6k of your dough
To mash up these Stars turbo

So come on what you think
Lets get going so i can bink

Don`t worry bout the $ its safe wit me
I aint gonna do a neil blatchley

That proposal might work, for the time being or few days
Until they all discover that I'm fleeing the UK
They're-getting-grimmed, forgive the hyphening...
...but I'm doing a Blatch, and their money I'm syphoning

:)

gr8 start fella!

Forewarning: we're looking at a gross day today. Have blanked everything so far. I guess it's standard rather than gross but feels gross after first few days...

I'm thinking of including all my $27, $38 and $60 45-man & $36 180-man action in the stake. I'm kind of avoiding these games atm for variance reasons because it sucks when you only play a handful and blank them all and it wipes out your 18-man profit for the day.

Ironically though it should help reduce the variance on the stake a little.

Just yuck @ today. Not even a sniff in the MTTs :(

Decided to go ahead with the 45/180-man plan and couldn't have run much worse. (http://www.pokerhand.org/?5894995 to have half the chips in a $38 45-man). Will be good for us long term though I'm sure.

^^Wrote all this before I binked the last $114 18-man I had going, saved the day somewhat. Sadly my 65.8% ROI in them so far isn't exactly sustainable!

$11378.10   (began with)
    1750.00   (entries)
    1323.00   (payouts)

Just to confirm stake covers:

$114 18-man turbo SNGs
$27 45-man turbo SNGs
$38 45-man turbo SNGs
$60 45-man turbo SNGs
$36 180-man turbo SNGs

Plus the following schedule, with the provision to play other $0-109 turbo and hyper-turbo MTTs that will all count towards the stake

6.00am $109 Turbo ($30k gtd)
6.30am $55 Turbo ($12k gtd)
7.30am $109 Turbo ($15k gtd)
8.00am $51 Hyper Turbo ($2k gtd)
9.00am $109 Turbo ($15k gtd)
1.00pm $109 Turbo ($5k gtd)

Hope that's cool with everyone. Realise I've made a couple of tweaks but all within reason and to the benefit of the stake imo. Obviously won't be posting that I'm buying myself into EPTs with the stake ;)

After a bink (Congrats btw), do you not think you should have a day or two off?

Hehe, that would be too easy! It's not really that big a bink. Might take a day or two off if I won WSOP Main Event :)

I am cool with this if you are, will help the SNE mission for you too, which is good.  What times you playing?  The $27 45 manners fill up quite quickly so what sort of volume do you think you'll play on a normal day?  Anyway, you are in control, from my perspective just keep me in the loop

They don't fill up quickly if I do a 12hr session from 12-12pm I get in around 50 which isn't great.

Yeah, they don't fill up a whole lot in the times I am playing. They are bottom of my TableNinja list after the 18-mans I'm playing on my own roll and the $114s on the stake, so might not be in all the one's that run.

Played 13 in the afternoon today, so maybe ~20 a day or something like that. Will see how it goes 2moro.

No breaks due to binks allowed, play more if winnings!! :)

GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOO

You at DTD this weekend MC?

Lol it's ok, no breaks planned just yet. Won't be playing DTD mate I'm afraid. Won't be going outside playing much live poker this year...

Are you still targeting SNE whilst playing mtt's,how ?

Am slightly ahead of SNE pace so far. 19k VPPs!

I have up to 15 or so 18-mans in my stack. I have my turbo MTTs tiled around the side with a different background colour, and any 45-mans I have with a different colour background to that in my stack, which I tile when it becomes less like an 18-man.

Sounds like a lot (not to you monda), but I'm really only ~18 tabling which I can manage quite comfortably...

Arrr you youngsters......

Again was looking like a really gross day but won a $38 45-man at the end of the day. Not running so hot in the MTTs since our bink :(

You're probably going to need a different phone number if I'm not in the UK

Had first real painful MTT. Was chipleader with 14 left in $109 Turbo this afternoon. Rejammed A7 for 12 effective bigs in LP after UTG shoved for 3 bigs. Obv big blind has Aces. Then AQ < TT and finally shoved button with 9T for sb to wake up with KK. Out in 12th :(

Might try 2moro's session without 45s as I'm not sure I'm juggling them all that well.

How about a little rap James to celebrate the fact you are in profit?

I'll start you off.

Been staked on stars
by some good players and the sicilian,
It's going quite well,
I hope to make a million.

Lol nice work guys  ::)

Kinda getting tired of blank after blank in the $109 turbos. Doing well in the $114 18-mans to counteract. Might concentrate a bit more on the 18-mans for the time being if that's cool with peeps.

Grim? You're all a bunch of joshers
As wouldn't I be reporting losses?!

Nah, we are on to you son.

Blatch was winning the world at first remember? I've met you, i know what you're like :-)

oh ok, i know you are not capable of the grim, just desperate for summit to rhyme with Jim.

Keep up the good work.

well done James..... ignore Tez scottish poker players...........

lolz it's ok I know it's all jokes, didn't mean to sound serious :)

Do you have a good HUD?

It's just I'm setting up a new HUD for MTTs and sometimes if someone has one already set up its quicker.

Was wondering if you had a good HUD you could attach it so I could steal it:)
It would be much appreciated

Have shipped you an email with it just now dude ;)

Top bombing!!

wp emmcee

I am opposite of dissapoint.

Great start MC - I'll buy you a beer a UKIPT if you are there. Small question....in original proposal i think you said about paying out at month end I think. With likely variance, are we not better waiting til end Feb? I for one am happy with that - even if you draw you profit and leave stakers profit  in?

echoes of blatch? we've won shitloads, we've won shitloads more, this is easy etc etc.

only joking

He hasn't once offered to open his account to stakers at DTD yet either.

The grim is on.

Will see where we're at at the end of the month...

I'm not hugely sure I want to continue on with the MTT side of things. Whilst the tournaments certainly seem soft and should probs be playing them in theory, the variance side of things is just blergh. A lot of our winnings are from running like God in the hyper-turbos. Am mulling things over at the moment.

I'm thinking about turning this into a $114 18-man stake only at the end of the month. Obviously investors will be given the option to drop out seeing as this wasn't what this was billed as. Risks are lower but the potential rewards also lower in theory. I wouldn't be including FPPs in this. Can investors give me some feedback on this pls (Mr Keys I'll let you have a couple of days to reply seeing as I have a feeling that you're a bit busy atm ;))

(In $114s this month I'm up $3336 over 110 games, but that is running good)

So what would you say is reasonable ROI in the 18mans.. 15-20% ??

I would prob drop out tbh mate if you just grinding these, prob more appealing to larger share holders I would think?!

I'd stay in if you were continuing to do a mix of both but just do whatever you feel comfortable with... not like you will struggle to get replacement for my 5% lol

1st reserve plz

Im easy man... does that mean end of January you stop current stake..pay out etc and start again ?

EVERYTHING GOGOGOGO

I'm pretty easy with whatever you decide - I am guessing you'll keep a month end option to cash out from month three?

I'm thinking of going 2 ways with this...

1. Make it an $114 18-man stake only (T-Mar, btw 5-10% would be a great ROI at this level).

2. Take off the $114 18-mans from the stake and make it MTTs only.


I'm thinking if investors are happy with option 2, maybe I'll go with that and stop being such a variance pussy. I'll play the $114s on my own roll, as I am doing with other 18-mans, and then the stake makes more sense as I think the much lower variance of the $114s made me shy away from the high variance games, but fuck it lets embrace the variance and make some money.

Am planning to pay out the profit from the stake at the end of the month and start back at $6k, as that is what I said I'd do. I'm not adverse to leaving some of our profit on the stake, but I think everyone would have to agree to that...

Claypole I'm not 100% on what you're asking, but investors need to let me know asap if they are dropping out this month. Originally I wrote in an option to drop out in any month the stake is in profit, or two months of the stake being more than $0 but less than $6k.

Monda you're 2nd on the reserve list, I saved Jamie Reeve 5% and forgot about it pre stake, sigh.

Is it not an option to carry on with the stake with you having the discretion to play more or less of one format according to how you feel/how the results are/following the money/etc?

2nd reserve after mondapoo

I'm happy with option 1 off a 6k roll

Would also be happy to up the roll to 7k or 8k if you think its needed and everyone else agrees

I guess if people trust me enough to go with this in theory that's fine, as long as I post what's included upfront

Unrelated to whatever you decide I'm going to have to drop out now, sigh

Looks like you got a queue for replacements so all good.

Thanks alot for your grinding efforts in Jan... No doubt you'll continue to make everyone some $$

Cheers

Happy to go with the flow.... pay out end Jan and back to 6K roll

if its just sngs im out, if its just mtts im in and if its both im in

This


and this.

Stop me where I'm wrong...

If you play a $114 18-man it's on the stake.
If you play an mtt from the OP, it's on the stake.
Anything else isn't on the stake.
If you choose to not load an mtt from OP for whatever reason (tired/tilt/busy etc) then that's fine - entries and cashes are all readily auditable.

As much as possible, we should stick to the gambit in OP.  If there is a really good reason to change, then ok.  Otherwise, my vote is to do what it says on the tin, make the payments end of Jan as OP'd ~ give people that want in/out their options as per OP and continue to roll the dice in Feb.

Variance is our your friend!

This

sorry my post was weird, was just trying to clarify when we could get out -as you did, didn't read opening post.

Sharkscope has me within $60 of my own records, I'm assuming mine are more accurate but shows you it's very close:

It's just I feel mixing the $114 18-mans and the MTTs doesn't work for me because the less-variancey 18-mans were making me not want to gamble on the big-variancey MTTs.

Am happy to take them out, then I am playing as said in the OP, just without them. Everyone that's commented seems cool with this from what I can tell.

Not sure why you guys don't want my SNG action though lol :)

I think we are greedy and want both lol

Let us know hat you decide mate, happy either way.

Meh I don't mind taking the SNG action, it's just a pretty boring sweat with very limited upside and I have no idea what ROI is sustainable in those games where as I know for a fact those turbo MTTs are good value and mixing them in with the SNGs is also good value since the SNGs are probs 0-10% ROI.  If you went for just SNGs then FPPs should definitely be included IMO

$4378 to chop up

25% - Rupert - $1094.50 - shipped
10% - the sicilian - $437.80 - shipped
10% - AlexMartin - Now only owes me $162.20 :)
10% - Simon Galloway - $437.80 - shipped

10% - claypole - $437.80 - shipped
5% - Sack it off - $218.90 - shipped
5% - T-Mar - $218.90 (+ $300 stakeback) - shipped
5% - Longy - $218.90  - shipped

Can people let me know where they want me to ship to. Obviously Stars is preferable. I do have a little on FT to get rid of. If you want bank transfer you might have to wait a little while depending on how many people would prefer that.

Ship the 4hundo rinse repeat?

Was being facetious :), I understand what you're saying, and I'm happy to take on all my SNG action anyway...

Thought about doing some rounding off, but a couple of people stated to ship monies and put roll back to $6k so this is probs easiest...

Have amended OP to reflect situation for Feb, if anyone wants to drop out can you please let me know asap. Am assuming only T-Mar dropping out as it stands...

Yeah i'm not fussed whatever makes maths and accounting easiest imo. GOGOGOGGO.

I'd like to thank Titbeam for his recent insightful comments

fyp

lol nah, I appreciate titty following my progress (or lack thereof)

It's quite apt for you to have Howards pic as I believe he hates me too  :dontask:  :(

Howard loves Seidel

Who doesn't??!

you da man :)

So not exactly the best month, but at least we ended up in profit. I expect my volume to increase this month, as I wasn't so great at waking up in Feb, but I've gotten behind in my SNE chase so really need to ramp it up this month.

Ha yea, just figured if i put my name down now, might get in this time next year.

havent heard the b word in a while. slacking mc?

it probably doesn't suit you at all cos of time/site, but the full tilt multi-hundo on a sunday is ridiculously awesome

Should be very sick this week with the double guarantee

Yeah, can't really sway from Stars or my current schedule...

Do you still play?  ;nana;

I did have a bit of time off recently titty :P

Difference in US vs UK daylight saving hurt my volume for a while, plus I haven't been grinding as hard as I should be. Am going to try and get back to hardcore grinding from 2moro so hopefully will see a bit more volume as I'll actually be awake to register :)

medium tepid

just FML

I played a few hyperturbo satellites the other day. Looks like I donated to either the warm up or the Sunday Million because I sure as hell didn't play it. Didn't realise til just now. FFS.

I don't think it affects the total I've put as I use HEM for $$$ figure.

If u didnt play a hand and email stars because you rake so much they'll probs refund you as a one off

Stars support are the nuts

That's a good idea. I was having some problems unregistering, the software was crashing when I tried to do it some of the time. Will email them now.

You're right George, Stars support is the nuts.

Hello James,

Thank you for our email.

We have reviewed your playing history for Tournament #414020010 and found that you did not unregister from that event and therefore missed the entire tournament. As we consider you a valued player at PokerStars we have issued a credit of $215.00 to your account.

.

stars are incred.

That's awesome. Fatty lederer wouldn't do that

godddddam coward folderer

+1

i rememeber arguing with hills over £10 buy ins for days and they'd never budge.

I asked for a breakdown of all bets, poker funds etc i'd ever had with them once, they said there was a £10 admin charge. I pointed out that was a fraction of the rake/losing bets i had had with them, they insisted, i told them to bollocks and have not been back since. Morons.

Stars are the nuts, just a pity its not worth grinding on there unless you Supernova or better.. Still play the odd MTT obv

hey james. its jason herbert. been following this thread but only recently had 300 posts so could not comment. are you not playing any live pokers and if you are do you still have same backer as when we finaled the galway ukipt side event? (you binked obv). cheers

Have tried to withdraw a large % of my roll re: http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=52899.0

So this might have to go on hold, lets wait and see what happens  :(

I'm happy to continue with this but I'll give everyone a couple of days to say if they want to pull out, otherwise I'll assume it's cool.

Fwiw I received a substantial cashout from PokerStars today.

James...Happy to continue...How you finding the numbers and standards ? post friday

ever since black friday i think i have pulled the ultimate doom switch on stars... and they seemed to have imported a gazillion spanish, russian and brazilian people to operate if for them....

Deffo continue.

At the times you play the mtt fields aren't going to be affected that much imo. I also have a confidence in Stars for the forseeable future.

FYP :)

Get back to work ffs wat is this??!!?

Bink something soon pls.

GOGOGOGO.

In the words of Charlie Sheen: GO!!!

like

Ok sweet. First day back on the grind today.

[  ] It went well

I'm sorry about this month guys. Black Friday kinda threw everything.

tbh I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing atm. I'm kind of waiting on PokerStars' SNG changes (due in May) to see what I'm gonna do. I also wonder if the MTT schedule might change soon which could affect us.

I'm happy to sit on things and see what happens, but if anyone wants their stakeback because of my lack of volume this month, and potential lack of volume for the start of May, let me know.

I figure we may as well roll the bankroll over to next month? If anyone objects lmk and I'll divvy our slim profit up.

Until this is sustaining a nice lifestyle and I don't have to donate to the poker pool of money myself i'll be demanding!

Stag do last weekend + SNG changes = me not playing I'm afraid.

Hopefully something done soon and I'll be bk :)

PokerStars dicking about with SNG changes has led to me not playing much, but things are nearly back in order so should get back to grinding...

Waking up and putting in a full day's work has been the problem for me so I was thinking that some kind of forfeit would help me play.

For everyday I don't play the 6.00am $109 turbo on Stars for the rest of the month I will donate £100 to charity, to be chosen by the person who notices first. This goes up by £50 for every day I miss.

I'm allowed to late register for the tourney, and if some family emergency comes up then I can back out. It obviously assumes this precise tournament runs, if they change it for some reason, we'll replace it with a similar tournament at a similar time. I get one day where I can opt out, but must give at least 12 hours notice.

I know it sounds kind of silly, but I'm hoping it works cos my volume since Black Friday has been pathetic.

Hey James... it may have been said somewhere...so apologies as i CBA...

How long do you play a day and are u usually rigid about this

When I put in a full day it's about 8-9 hours.

The schedule I was trying to keep when going for SNE was...

Wake up 5.30am
Play 6am-11.30am
Play 1pm-5pm

But that gradually morphed into play 7am-11.30am, 1.30pm-5pm

Recently it's been - set alarm to wake up at 7, wake up at 9.30, meh might as well take the day off :-/

 ;slavedriver;

is supernova elite idea impossible to get to now james?

Send it here pls, they need every penny they can get.

http://www.kirkwoodhospice.co.uk/

Yeah, I kinda let is slip in the wake of Black Friday and these damn SNG changes.

It's not impossible but would be extremely hard playing what I want to play.

Pokerfan - the thing is I'm hoping to donate £0, and like I said it will be the person who catches me not playing who decides.

Ill be watching  :D

I listened to that podcast thing when you talked with a mental coach about SNE and the possibility of it. Was a good listen

WP on the bink:D

thanks dude :)

Meh. Nearly binked, but all the other blanks mean it's not all that exciting. At least I've been getting up successfully to play :)

Hi James

How long you in vegas for ? me and vinny there from the 20th..always need someone new to buy us dinner.... :)

Hehe, sorry will miss you guys, I'm only there 9th-14th

Sigh...flying home early just so u can get out of buying dinner....

Yup, that's the reason(!)

9-14 isn't long enough surely!? stay for another week innit

Easily done when you have no commitments.

MC has a bird and a baby that he has to consider alongside his Vegas adventures.

In his shoes I think 5 days is more than enough.

Yeah exactly Matt. Figured this was the shortest I could do for me to miss Clark the least and it have less impact at home, and still at least get to play a couple of tournaments and enjoy Vegas for a short time.

That's nice to hear.  You are still coming with us to the titty bar though?

obv!

i wanna say geeg but i really think wp epit.

I'm playing a Sunday schedule today on my own wad, so any MTT turbos that I play today will be with my own roll...because I haven't played any games yet this month and am not sure what I'm going to do re: daily grind just yet, I figure it's okay as a one-off.

I hope this is okay with everybody, If anyone thinks it's out of line pls say so asap, sorry for late notice as well :-/

np

Just don't win yeh

I am ok with it as one off.

As stakers I think we need a decision what is happening, sooner rather than later. I get the impression you are considering finishing the stake, I could be wrong.

Its ok everyone - see here if he does  ;whistle;

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=53643.0

Yeah, fair enough. I am thinking about finishing it, I will make a decision in the next couple of days.

I did my absolute bollocks so you can all breathe easy!

not really, wanted you to win so you got the urge to grind a tonne with the roll :p

Hey guys,

I've decided to end the stake. It's a shame the last couple of months were meh but it still went very well overall (123.5% ROI for investors if I've calculated correctly). I very much appreciate your investment and will make sure anyone with a % or who reserved some will get first dibs if I do anything similar in the future.

$6352.10 - (352.10 / 2) = $6176.05 to chop up...

25% - Rupert - $1544.01
10% - the sicilian - $617.61
10% - AlexMartin - $617.61 + $123.65 owed = $741.26
10% - Simon Galloway - $617.61
10% - skolsuper - $617.61
10% - titaniumbean - $617.61
10% - MC - $617.61
5% - Sack it off - $308.80
5% - Longy - $308.80
5% - Mondatoo - $308.80

I have shipped to everyone.

Thanks again :)

If anyone wants a reinvestment opportunity please see my party poker staking thread ;0p

nice one James, thanks for running the stake.  Cold beer waiting in Vegas.

WD james...many thanks..funds received

Received, TY for running this

+1

Wp James and gg. See you tomorrow.

Great thread James easily the best on here with the reporting on how you are doing. It was my motivation to get to 300 posts so could comment and probably the only thread I ain't took the piss on. Suppose that's coz you are one of the small %age of winners in this game. Well done

Must be due round 2....

I will take 20% next time.

you of to vegas in Nov - I'll see you there, me and ronnie got a sick table booked in surrender for halloween you should come!!!

:)

Nicest person in poker, love.

Hehe, still playing them, doing okish in them.

Vegas in Nov does sound immense but pretty unlikely I'll be able to go having taken 6 weeks off due to no internetz and persuading the wife to let me go twice in 5 months :) Are you up Stu's way on Saturday?

Still got some of that Fosters left eh Monda ;)

LOL, I sure knew I'd posted that. Off to check if I made any other posts.

sigh @ being a grown up.

Yes I am, will see you then, have a small feeling it might be quite a good do!

lolz, tell me about it!

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, see you there :)
