Fun proposal for a Friday Evening

I am going to start a grind from 7pm this evening on Stars low stakes MTT's.  So will need any responses by 7pm to be fair to stakers/myself.  I am Chris Roberts, my info is on the linked staking thread below.

Reasons

I am interested in improving my play and I was wondering if anyone fancied a Friday night sweat with me.  This is of benefit to me, as by posting hands I can get comment and critique on my game and the staking provides me with an incentive not to spew when annoyed which is a tendency I am fighting.

Experience

I have only been back online since December, limited volume, I got 3rd in a 12k guaranteed last week for over a $1k and binked a warm up seat on the Sunday.  From OPR you can see I have been deep in a number of large field MTT on stars, my ITM is not great but I would put that down to some sporadic poorly conceived alcohol enduced sessions.

OPR:   Rab90
Previous staking thread:   http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=57930.0

Proposal

My record does not allow me to charge above spot so I will put up $100 and would look for backers up to $100 so up to 50% of a $200 roll for this evening.  This stake will be for all tournies I commence on Stars this evening from 7pm to 11.49am with refunds worked out as % of total cashes and any unused funds when buy ins calculated.  I think a spot deal for low level stakes on high volume fields allows for a decent return for low stakes.  I will be playing non turbo tournies from $1 to $11 freezeouts with above $1k guarantees as this is where I am most confident.  The only exception will be the $5 cubed games, which I find suit my game well.  I would post a schedule but I do not like going above 4 tables, so I will simply keep 4 tables running, when one busts, game select another based on the proposal and keep running with 4.  Based on say a $5 average buy in and my 10% ITM we shouid get around 4 ITM sweats, so it will be fun to follow.  I will post hands of notes/sweats on the thread.

I hope this is not out of line, I know make up etc is an issue.  But this is something I want to do 2-3 times to benefit my game through comments and not a long term solution in return for hopefully a chance to make some people some money.  Ideally take funds on Stars to Rab90 before 7pm...if it dont sell it dont sell but if you dont ask you dont get.

Thanks for reading

Chris

Ill go 50 /50 with you if you do a schedule thats say got a $50,40,30 30 20 20 =$180 +reg fees...because if the tournaments are too small there no point

Sorry i cant do a skype chat as sweating on too many things myself including the Euros

Let me know and Ill send on stars (if you want to put a bigger $ schedule up thats fine too )

Thanks Fraser, happy with that proposal. Will look down the list, post a schedule.  Are you okay if I play some mircos on my own dime at the same time, I prefer 3-4 tabling.

I will post exit hands (hopefully not), big hands and ITM updates for info....That sound okay, if all good ship to Rab90 on Stars.

Cheers

Chris

Transparancy is the key...put a schedule together then we both know whats in

7pm $27.50   5k Gtd
7pm Big $11  75k Gtd
8pm Big $55  100k Gtd
830pm $11     12.5k Gtd
830pm $27 turbo KO 20k Gtd
930pm $8.80   8k Gtd
10pm $55  17.5k Gtd
1030pm Big $4.40 15k Gtd

How about this? it is all high guarantees and split through the night.....Works out $199.70 so dead on. Just through $4.40 and $8.80 in for rounding but looks okay?

cool...send you $100 on stars now

Shipped

Thanks Fraser...will reg and post updates for you and all to comment :) Go go go go

Leave updates till at least 10pm...just concentrate   :)

Good Luck

Incred thread title pulled me in, hope you get the lot guys gl!

Cheers Mark, I went for a bit razzamattazz lol although should remove low level as the gaffer has me playing $55 games lol

Cliffs so far...runnin like a dog but still in both 7pms

Highlights:

KK<A9 all in pre thankfully 1010 with a bigger stack came for the ride so we didnt exit....but was a chip lead pot in $5k
Hero/sigh call 1010 with A on board on turn to player who must have seen us pot committed he has the 6/7 (4 bet pot) for open ended straight draw...and hits...sigh!
Call a raise with  Jh Qh and flop  Ts Ks Aspades grudge fold on  6s turn!

Anyways...game starting best leave Fraser to it :)

Fraser giving you a freeroll at the $55 at 23:15! I proper spewed the 2nd $55 due to rapid bad beats on two other tables....not what a fledgling stake requester should do, so switching this in!

have to post the spew for the fans mate

Schedule bricked Fraser, sorry....hopefully the England result has numbed the pain for burning $100...Thanks for the stake

Pleno....i will try and dig out the hand it was a 3 stage bluff with 7 high out of position, it was monumentally ill conceived based on stacks/position/board...from memory! I shall see if I can find it for the "fans" lol
