blonde poker forum

ok i hear you ask how can any stake be minimal risk
well it all depends on you trusting me and i hope there are still enough people on blonde
who know my word is my bond and if i say i will do something i will


while i am fit and able too (hoping my health continues on its current upward path) i want too get into poker again
the route i am hoping too take is 45 man $7 turbos on pokerstars

the stake is a 50/50 share between me and the stakers with 100% gtd on your stake back if i go bust or not over  4 month period

i will play the SNGs and at the end of each month the profit will be split i will also buy back 25% of the stake each month
so your stake in me will decrease but your stake will be secure
if i go bust in the first month you will still get 100% of your stake back at the end of the 4 months


i need a 600$ bankroll to play these comfortably without worrying about swings and currently due too my previous health problems and life style i am not able too
come up with that cash and playing off a reduced roll is effecting my play

so at the end of august sept oct nov i will buy back 150$ of the stake

which means in basic terms you risk losing only the interest you would earn in your bank with a chance of making a lot more if i can beat these games

obviously if i cant make a profit at these games then i should stick too play poker as a hobby looking for a bink

the minimal risks are
1) i do a grim
2) i die (touch wood i don't think its likely)
3) i get carried away at the lapdance club on Tuesday (my getting older day) and blow my next years army disability pension

so in summary i need $600 for which you will receive 50% of any profit at the end of first month plus 25% of your stake back from my pocket
and i become a 25% stake holder and your stake is reduced and the same happens for the following 3 months so by the end of november
you will all your stake back and i will be on my own either busto or with a decent roll

during the stake i will not play in any other games on pokerstars on or off the stake without 100% approval from all backers
this will hopefull stop me sitting in cash games and entering high variance MTTs which i keep messing about it when i know i
am better off not doing

1% = 6$
10% = $60


i hope that all makes sense and is a fair deal if not please let me know


redarmi 50%
tikay 10%
steve swift 10%
somerled 10%
longy 20%

I'll take 50% if I can ship moneybookers (or to someone who can ship to you on stars because I am in States at the moment so cant access Stars)

cheers red i dont have a MB account your booked though

oh i forgot too add the stake starts on monday so no one ship before sunday please

I don't actually understand a word of that, but it matters not, count me in please.

I will take 10% for now, but in the almost impossible event that the rest does not sell, I'll take the whole 50% balance.

To those who are dithering, Iron did a little staking thing a few weeks ago, & we all made a nice profit.

blonde would have folded in Year One without Iron's help, too. So come on guys, support our man. He is a perfect PITA sometimes, but we'd not have him any other way.

10%  please


Steve

Good man, my 50% liability just decreased to 40%......

Can send to me on mb and I'll deposit and send on stars ?

mondo03newc@yahoo.co.uk

Cheers Ray and sent.

cheers tony that means i owe you £52.81 can you send me bank details and i will ship

booked

30% left guys

oh and tony i am a PITA 99% of the time its just the way i am glad you understand

oh and i will post not 1 single hand no details at all apart from comps entered and profit/loss or each session

and i am hoping too play about 1000 of these a month exact number i wont know untill i find out how many
run during the day but will be 6 tabling upto about 12 hours a night when i have no other plans

For me, that suits perfectly, but others may like to read, or actually even enjoy, reams & reams of Hand Histories. I won't read a single one though. ;)

Each to their own, eh?

I DO think, whoever it is, MUST post a list of how many SNG's played, each day, & the Daily P & L. I would not invest in anyone who did not do that. We wanna sweat!

10% please Iron.  Remind me when to ship as I'll probably forget.

yeah thats the plan tony

HH are hard too do when i have 6 active tables open but if anyone wants them
i can send them reams i will just collect them from stars

booked 20% left

ship any time after 10pm on sunday night as i want too start on monday as its the first and might have a dabble on my own roll before then and dont want things getting confusing

Perfect, so can I assume I have paid my 10% then?

If it does not get fully subscribed, I'll send the rest, probably via Lord Raymond Norton.

Yeah I owe you for wsop and yours and tom's returns from last stake so still owe you after I deduct your 10%

Oh, I forgot I said I'd pay Tom, remind me how much I owe him, please?

its ok tony i will ship tom on stars i know what i was doing wrong now so will BT £39.18 too you later and you owe tom nowt

Give me the rest 20% right?

perfect

2nd thoughts guys i will not be playing tomorrow so you can transfer too Ironside on stars anytime after midday tomorrow and will get going after my sunday night out

ok thats me off for an early night shipped everything i had on stars too tilt apart from $60 for tikay so you can ship anytime Ironside on stars UK no avatar

off out tomorrow night and sunday i will likely be at karaoke till 12/1 so will start on the stake then
not going be able too play as much as i would like next week as i have to get up early monday tuesday and friday and off too the lapdancers with friends for my birthday tuesday
and then my annual getting drunk night is saturday so depending on hangover sunday could be a right off

$60 sent from 177272 on stars, gl


Steve

Sent $60 to Ironside on Stars from Somerdog.

GL and have fun!

recievied thanks guys

lol i love the honesty from the op. all staking requests should be so candid . ie. no bullshit graphs and ' they are really soft games' bollocks .

good luck to you sir !

I will take 10% if there is any left.

Sold out sorry

Sent Redarmi's $300, glglgl.

thanks ray and red

just waiting on longy now but will get going tomorrow after karaoke

ok goinmg too start now and put in a cpl of hours worth of games
still waiting for longys stke money but i think we all trust him
i will report back at end of session on how i do

current role is at $480 as we are still short $120

great start havent even got a 4th table open before i got my first AA cracked preflop by KQ

hpe too get 6 tables on the go at the same time lol

ok an hour in and 9 buy ins and closet i have come too a cash is when i shoved KT with 5 bigs into A3 when 13/13
obviously i didnt get a sweat when flop came A3A was running well on that table untill just before QQ<JJ

also managed too get in a 4 way all in with 2 half average and one dbl average stack i had top 2 dbl average had over pair and the shorties both had flush draws
dbl average won with a 4 flush FML
been playing these game for a week or so now and i know that these things happen so going too continue too reg till about 3 and hope for bed about 4:30
with some bankroll left lol

12 sng over and done with in under 2 hours

managed 2 all preflop suck outs lost count of how many i had
but thats the reason behind me needing the stake too cover the swings
only 1 win away from break even hopefully get a good 8-10 hours in tomorrow night
and get a better share of the RNG

down $84

ok longy has now sent funds so roll is 516$

going too get on in an hour or so after my dinner

going too put in a stopper to save me from playing when tilted and unaware i am titling

not sure if i should make it stop registering after i have registered for 12 comps or 2 hours without a cash
then only start registering again if i cash with the comps open or after taking an hour break

NO BAD BEAT STORIES!

wasnt a bad beat i played the hand wrong trying too trap a big stack after he called my OR raise and a shorty shoved 10BB i got what i wanted and the big stack shoved on me

the only bad beat i had last night was never getting 6 tables on the go at once and having too go play PLO rush on fulltilt when down too my last 2 tables
hate the software on tilt but love the rng

Eh? If you got the big stack to shove on you, how did you play it wrong?

well i played it right but could of taken the less varance route and shove my stack in

it was early doors in the comp as i said i hadnt even got the 4th table open

ok less of talking about hands i am off too win some dosh

woho first cash of the stake a disappointing 5th though after 2 beats with 5 players left
1/8 in another hoping to win my first sng

Good man, up & running now.

got a 2nd got crippled 3 handed and went HU 6-1 down in chips
only 3 open just now 5/13 8/13 and 4/19

gonna take a short break as although i am playing ok my head seems a little messy

a win or a cpl of decent cashes in these 3 games, gets us in profit for the roll so cant complain about running bad just if heads not right take a break

edit on 2 FT now

ps if anyone ever wants too chat and keep my head on the game blondepoker_iron on skype

someone lend me a cat too kick just about too pure bubble in one after losing a flip got less than 2bigs 1/5 in another though

man was 1/5 had AK and tangled with 2/5 who had AA ended 4th
1/7 in last one need 4th ttoo be in profit finally

ok going for a 30 minute break made up yesterdays loses roll is now $599.33 after another 4th

Nice one mate, ok start keep up the good work. Run good

ok 4 cashes so far 5244 from 23 games
going too play till around 2-3 am now see if i can keep myself in a zone for that period
or might have too ease my way back too the grind a little slower than i had hoped

lol i was about too tilt after getting a 10th 11th and 12th while running good in 5 comps but with 11 players left in one i got upto 20k so cant complain

we have our first win

wiiiiii

its your lucky $$$s i think mark


we are in profit now just hope the lucky $$$$s stay with us over the next few hours


is anyone intrested in regular updates or are you all like tikay and just want a daily summery?

Am most happy to see in-play updates, really, keep them coming. Easy on the bad beats and "I tilted" stuff, that's all.

Tilting is for Pisa, Lederer and kids. We is proper grown ups here. :)

Yep that must be it Iron!

However you want to do it, is good with me. Daily updates is probably going to be a good long term fix and something you should try to keep to, but I am happy with the more regular updates as well.

trying not too put bad beats up tikay cause of the nature of the turbos ever hand is a bad beat lol

ok getting tired and making fundemental errors got 4 running when they are over off too bed

Been a good day Iron, well done.

1/14 and 6/27 in the last 2 i am in played like a donkey for past hour
made some silly calls 3bs bluffs and shoves forgot that other players can have hands sometimes

1/8 just doubled up the shortest stack blinds are already 500/1000 with 8 of us left and average about 8k

edit that last 2/7 as guys went too war one cracking the other guys AA

got chipp daddy on my left making it hard too steal blinds

bugger  3rd went for the dbl up when daddy started shoving was ahead didnt hold

we were in the black for the stake earlier after the win but roll is now $582.57

a nice profit for this evening though

Good stuff Iron, well played.

thanks guys hopefully when i get back into the grind i will be able too play around 100 a day without losing my focus and getting tired

dont think i have quite woken up yet will get on the grind either later tonight when i finally recover or tomorrow evening
no point playing when half asleep

right back from the karaoke and feel up for a cpl of hours poker will reg upto 4 at the latest
hopefully finsh around 5:30 if i get some good runs at the end of the session

Good luck Mr Iron.

called it a night early was playing badly making too many silly errors
got 1 3rd which should of been a win but i tanged with 2/6 when a  1/6 caught bottom pair and a flush draw knew he had too have top pair
but still flipped to give me 70% of chips in play when i could of gotten them so much easier

roll at 539.23

Great start good luck.....

ok thats me car bonneting will hopefully keep regging till about 2 or 3 am

bad cpl of hours saw me get only 1 3rd place when all equal stacks and i  trapped a guy with my AQ he shoves 89c and gets there

and a cpl of close calls too FT including AJ<A7 when i was 2nd in chips on a A high board he gets there and goes too FT with around 25k

currently 3/6 in opne and some good stacks in others

got a win and on 3 FT now

grr 3rd but 1/6 and 4/5

a 5th and a 2nd and 3/8 in the final 1 just now stopped regging as 3 FT and the other tables were effecting my time too think
will start regging after the break but we have a massive swing in roll in last cpl of hours record low too record high

Keep it up Iron.  Loving the updates,  will maybe get the chance to rail for a bit when less busy.

1/5 now and starting to reg again

we did a win wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

roll currently $726 with one table open and regged in another

How much?!

Well done, great start.

not getting the volume of these i was hoping for after midnight
and as i stated earlier this week its hard too get the hours
but hoping too pick up the number of games next week
so i can see if i can beat these games need too get in about 4000 games before i know if i am any good

only managed too get 5 games in since my last win
FT bubbled one when i played 2 hands badly then and came 9th in another when 4/9 and shoved knowing the guy could only call me with a handfull of hands
and my AT<AK guess AK was one of the hands he could call with lol

if none of the stakeees mind i will open up some $3.5 45 man turbos in future nights when the volume is low

grrr 6th was 3 of 6 but with only 8 bigs i shoved with an ace 4 of 6 pipped me no split and i was under 1 big left

got 2 table left open am 1/14 in one of them would love too convert one of these

feck 6th AJ<A4 for a 25k pot final roll 684.48

Fine by me.

Excellent.

Play whatever you want within reason.  Certainly have no problem with you adding some lower stake stuff.

I  will always go with the majority.  GL

Aye play whichever ones you like.  You'll crush them all!

Yeah add the 3.5's if there aren't enough 7's running would be stupid not to.

Oh and wiiiiiii to last nights results.

got 2.5 hours before i have too head too the docs so going too see what the traffic is like will reg upto about 1.15

not a good session down too 621 with just one $7 comp on the go was down too under 1 big in this game still 35/35 but got 4 bigs now

when i win this one we are in profit for session lol

got back in the game was 6/26 A8<QJ and i am back down too dreg again with 2-3 bigs

but i aint out yet

edit am now enjoyed the yoyo

ok guys i am close too a VIP bonus when i get them i will add them too the roll (its only a $10 one at moment as i havent played much this year)

FPPs not sure if you guys want me too take these as bonuses IF/when i get too gold or i could use them too win T$ is sats choice is yours

Ah we forgot to discuss what we do with fpps, obviously take the stellar rewards as you pass each threshold.

Playing sats with the fpps is almost certainly best when you are anything but supernova, as they offer the best conversion rate. Will have a quick look around to look for the best ones to go for.

Up to you & the other guys, I'll go with the flow.

This.

my best convertion rate in the fpp is for storm tickets and upto and around $22 mark with the MM starting in a cpl of weeks should be some good sats
and they should all be turbos which is what i am playing in the SNGs

just for clarrity i am now at 735 vpp towards my 3rd stellar reward and have 765 fpps
i am silver star so earn fpps at 1.5 and we are 290 vpps towards retaining silver star
we earn 1.5 fpp for ever vpp and i hope too put in enough volume every month
to get gold status as we get over 3 vpp for every $7 sng

going too play a cpl of hours before i go out tonight and then another few hours when i get back hopefully

Sounds good to me, I would have the occasional session on a Sunday before the storm starts and play 4, 5, whatever.

got too make sure they are over before the storm starts though although sating into storm and having too play wont be worst thing in world
and a bink would be kinda cute lol not my normal plan for a sunday atm

Just a note to say I'm very happy with the way you are updating us & handling this, Iron.

A weekly total of games played, at each level etc, would be about the only addition I'd suggest.  

As in, say....

Week 1 - Bankroll began @ $600, ended @ $600, played 55 games @ $xx

....sort of thing.  

The main thing though, is to enjoy it.

Will do that when the week is over tikay

going too see if i can get a poker stars audit too open no idea why it doesnt ask me for my password when i try too open and refuses too open
but i think thats cause i just let windows open it rather than winzip but i will publish the audit for all too see

ok not the best session in the world infact only had one sweat when 2/17 OTB and got too stubbon with 1/17 bb with my AJc and he couldnt let big slick go
only got 1 table left need too make it last till atleast 7:30 when i need too think about getting ready too go out
picked up the stellar reward its added too the roll now

i have no idea how i used too be able too only every 1 table online poker
it gets a bt slow nowadays

so i will give you a written update

with about 23 players left i 3b a button raise would of done it with ne2 but had an ace he shoves i folded leaving me with average stack (he covered me)

next orbit he shoves from button i insta call with Ax and hold

just lost a flip v a shorty shove 5/15 but with chip daddy on my right makes find spots to steal hard

wohooooo daddy shoves in sb i banked and called K9 >88

then reshoved TT < A4 he turns trip 4s and rivers nut flush for good measure still 1/14 though

called IP with QJc bb calls flop QJ2 check too me i put in a tickle bet shorty in BB i just doubled shoves Q9 i hold and 1/9 now

open UTG with JJ UTG+1 shoves 9k BB is all in with less than 1 big i hold 25k stack 1/7

good time too get a win just before i head out for night can i reuse my 1 time again?

AQ<KJ<QQ i am down too 4/5

roll $615 shove 95s in SB BB wakes with an ace and holds

Wont be playing tonight stuck at a party

Ok just had a cool shower and in the mood for a good long session hoping for a hood start to session too keep me on my toes will start regging soon  and likely keep regging till sometime between 2-4

only 1 5th so far
6/7 in one and 12/16 in another

otherwise varaince is kicking in

given a few beats out and received a few more
but overall i feel i am doing ok

5th and 11th

1 win 1 5th 1 9th last hour too many bust outs near the bubble but it due too me trying too build a stack or short stacked

stopped regging after busting 10th chip leader 2nd chip leader on my left decided his K8 was good enough in sb too call pre then when hit K flop call flop and turn and shove river when he hit his 8 then bust me KQs<JJ still got 3 tables open byt thought when i typed NH wp into the chat box it was sign too take a break

3/8 8/12 in my remaining 2 sngs

some of the play needs a route map today

7th and 10th roll 720$

by my rough calculations we have played around 162 sngs with is about the return of 25-50cents a comp i was hoping for

but i am feeling tired after todays short session going too have too build myself up for long sessions i think

too long away from game and too long not feeling well

going too watch the goggle box for a bit then see how i amd feeling

going too take an early night off too inverness for a night out tomorrow might play a cpl of hours before hand
but thursday is a day i am going too play aslong as the body holds as my folks are away at castle stuart

ok home from inverness too awake too goto bed but wont be awake long enough too make it worth playing anything worthwhile
so playing a 40fpp PLO sat for a MM and a 5fpp 500$ prize pool limit holdem taster

11th in the plo with 5 seats up for grabs
entered for a NLHE sat now for 150 fpp

Good stuff Iron.

Whilst the UK sleeps, we are still awake in Vegas.

UK has silly sleeping times i just drove back from a night out 2 hours drive away so will be 6am before i am ready for my pit

bugger busted 94th for 90c trapped myself with trips for half my stack then lost the rest with top 2 v middle set

i am up done some shopping man its boiling out there
curtains closed and room is a pleasant temp
settling down too a night of poker
will take a break to go get a takeaway at some point but hoping too get some serious volume in
will have too stop regging around 2am as got a doctors appointment tomorrow afternoon so will be up at 12

roll at start of day is $720.92 if i can get around 100 sngs intoday i am hoping too have an increase in roll although at moment ROI is above what i had hoped for

first completed hour
1/6 1/9 and 6 bust outs with 4 more tables open

1/9 blinds are crippling and can easy be next bust out with a bad move or cold deck or beat

did 2 wins and 1 more bust out

1/3 4/5 with 2 more tables open think i bust 6 during the hour

5th a3<t7

we did a win and a bust out 1/27 in the last table open will start playing again after dinner roll is an amazing $889.66

bust played 2 hands so bad that it made kinboshi look good (glad he doesnt read this) by my rough calculations i have played 18 so far today


roi is running at about $2 a sng over the stake when i think over a long run best i can hope for is about 50c so we must be having
alot more run good that i thought we were having i am disappointed that i havent done better is some spots but happy overall so far

now for a pizza and too try and get on with some more games

feeling tired and and bloated after my pizza going too have a nap before i start to play again

Hi mate,

Visiting my Daughter in semi rural France so not internet, got a bit of capacity on my dongle, so will pop in later to see how you are doing.  Looks like still running nicely to date keep up the good work.

up and at it agai

got about 90mins left on dongle and a beer in my hand, goner join you for one, look out for 177272

ok u not in this one thought you where registered, never mind I can happily win it then :)

worst hour of the stake just gone had a nightmare every shove was met by a better hand
most flips were lost draws missed draws against

no stacks built and best result is a 21st

but too be expected after running well recently

steve i have chat off so i can keep upto date with runners

no probs mate gl

another bad hour stopping regging now unless i cash in one of these 6 currently in
as thats 2 hours with no cashes
best result in last hour was a 15th was 1/18 but lost 2 flips against short stacks then shoved AT in AK

4/8 and 2/18 3/30 in final 3 if i get a cash i will start regging again

ITM 6/7 though A9<A3

back too 1/6 busted 15th in the other i was doing well in AK<AQ then shoved AJ into KK

2nd and a 5/9

4th

made a huge error thought a guy was short and all in so shoved behind him to isolate but he wasnt short and had just made a small preflop raise
i didnt crack his aces

going too keep regging till 2.30 now want too be in bed by around 4am still up for the day but about 20 buy ins down from my high

2/8 but taken so long too get here average stack is 8 bigs

pure bubbled shoved TT into KK the 99 into AK

in other games 5/12
and on a game just starting 77>kk>88

3/5 1/11 only got 4 open as they are taking there time opening

we did a win and still 1/9

qq<AK for 29k down too 8k and 3/8

bugger 3rd 2/14 and 30/37 in the last 2 decided too stop regging as they were taking 20 mins too fill

damm 4th 88<JJ left me short shoved JT<A7

2/18 for last game of day with roll close too what it was when i started the late session
dispite a number of games without a cash early doors
think i managed 57 games today
once i get back into grove i am sure 100 games a night will be easy broken

3/8 need 6th or better too break the 900 barrier

bugger 6th 55<QQ and 55<88>AK

roll 905$

if not will have one long session and hopefully get my volume up as i know i am no where near on schedule for 1000 games this month
espically with a few early mornings next week for doctors and hospital lined up

6 bust outs in first hour got 5 running including 8/8 with 2 bigs after losing an 18k pot

not winning much at showdown today dispite the odds when getting it in
picking up small pots really

bubbled 66<A2 in the blinds

just lost HU 2/6 and 1/9 in only games going while eating supper

4th

bugger 3rd

ok going too take a break after these 3 sngs have run there course roll at present 1027.60 hope too add too that before i break

just not feeling the game at the moment

2/8

ballsyed up but still3/8 but with less than an average stack

been pretty card dead from 25 out but took out 9th place with JJ>22
and having not played many hands thought i would play on my tight image
tried a steal from button v 2 shortish stacks that i was hoping were trying to
fold into the money pot commited too call Q7<AQ
then tried again from HJ J9dd< AT

gonna need too play tight for a bit just when i really want too loosen up
as players have seen my wide range

5th AK<A8 flop 885 roll 1053.60

Great results Iron.  Keep it up......

$1,053 from $600?

Superb start, very well done.

Congrats keep up the good work.

Good stuff iron.

going too start playing for a bit how long no idea

entering a cpl of fpp games while i get in the flow

argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh just bubbled on my first FT tonight with KK<AJ

just shoved J9cc guy wakes up with AK behind me board ran out JJxxJ thanks you doomswitch through me up to 3/14

on 2 bubbles

1 win and 1/3 in another

damm A4<qt for 3rd

1/8 and 13/16 and the deepest of current games at the break

also 4/24 in another

got a 4th

1/9 and 1/16

we did a win and now 3/7

Railing, enjoying the show

damm 3rd 33<99

1 left in session  7/16

couple of nasty chops in that one

What's your plan for the rest of the evening ?

thinking of playing on got too make mind up

roll with one game on the go is close too 1200 a min cash will get us there

started regging again

Cool  make hay sir.

feck another bubble couldnt find a fold when 2 stacks went all in before me and i had 6/8 with TT

6/9 and 6.12 in the 2 deepest games bad session for the roll

9th stop reg 7/9 stopped regging now got 5 tables open

5th still got 3 tables open

15th when my AA failed too hold on a K high flop and K8 got there

8/23 in last comp

just made a donk move when 6/8 now 8/8 with 2 bigs

bugger doubled up twice then 3bet with A9<KK for 7th

roll 1141.30$

so far we are $541 up from around 290 games i think thats running way above expectation

ok this is for investors only

i started 2 new meds during last week 1 of which has side effect of mood swings lethargy and drowsiness
i am going too be on this med for the next 3-4 months

i felt the effect last night and kicked the poker into touch and even made a reall bad call in my final game i had running
tonight i did feel a little down despite having a reasonable session

i am going too offer a few options

1) carry on as normal
2) end the stake with you guys getting first options for you guys too reinvest if i do another stake
3) share off the profits now and then carry on as normal (you guys get a freeroll that way)
4) use today as a end point and i buy back some of the stake profits shared and then we carry on as normal with
knowledge i am not 100%

the best option for me is option 1 best option for you is 3 my prefered option is 4

the balls in your court

Not sure I really understand #4.  It seems as though you think it will be an issue so probably not #1 so really happy with 2 or 3 but possibly 4 if you can elaborate.

4 is we use today as a month end (early)

we split the money 50/50 and i repay back 25% as if today is the end of july

we then carry on but i have repaid back some of the stake
so stake holders would be
10% = 7.5%

tikay 7.5%
redarmi 37.5
longy 15%
somerled 7.5%
steve 7.5%
ironside 25%

the pay out would be

27.07 for every 10% plus 15$ for the stake
so 42.07$ for every 10%

so redarmi $210.35
longy $84.14
and the other 3 inverstors $42.07
we then play on till the end of august when we split again but with knowledge i might not play as much as i could
or i could be playing under my A game at some points

i hope some of that makes sense but it possibly doesnt
or if the effects i am feeling just now wear off i could play a full schedule

or more simply

if you have 10% now you get 1/4 of your stake returned now
and your share of the profit so no matter what i do in future your GTD a profit of 27.07$ for every 10%
and a reduced share of any future profit

i really dont mind any of the 4 options although option 3 gives you guys a freeroll

#4 is fine for me if that is what your preferred option is.

4 is like 3 but gives me a bigger return if i do win but if i lose then i have reduced the amount i am in the hole for

i do hope that i can shake off the effects the drugs but as i said last night i turned an easy fold with QT into a snap call
and hated myself afterwards

and tonight i stopped regging at one point and kinda forced myself too play on as i couldnt be bothered doing anything else
and i dont want too play on lose all the roll and you guys just get your investment back without a profit
and will make me look like a complete doosh and unlikely too get backed if i need it at a later date

Iron, I really don't mind. Whichever is easiest for you and suits you best is fine with me.
It's not about the money, it's about you playing and enjoying it. Quite simply I don't have time to play poker at all at the moment and I'd rather the Stars funds were used to allow someone to have some fun playing and if there's a return at the end all well and good but I don't really care.
Just enjoying the updates to be honest - good or bad. So keep playing, keep the updates coming and do whatever you feel most comfortable with.


Oh, and be lucky!

^^^^^

Same here, will go with the flow.

ok as no one is strongly in favour of one option or another
and as a thank you for trusting me in the stake i will go with option 3
and send you all $27.07 per 10% tomorrow when i get up

this is the best option for the backers as i will GTD there stake and if over the next cpl of weeks i make a loss you still get a full share
of profits to date and full share of future profits

i will ship to pokerstars account the money came from unless i hear different
tikay i will Bank transfer too you once money reaches my bank

I will go with the flow, but what ever is best for you.  Loving the sweats/rail BTW

Steve

Ok that works for me.

Ok 12 hours in bed got docs at 4 so will ship funds when I get back hopefully get a cpl of hours in before early night as got a hospital appointment in aberdeen tomorrow

ok going too ship 27$ too somerled and steve swifts poker stars and 54$ too longy

$135 i need too ship to redarmi but need confirmation of where too ship

will withdrawl 297 (270 for myself and 27 for tikay for bank transfer at stars exchange rate i recieve at)
this will leave the roll at just over 600 (as i havent included the cents)

last night when i put up this option 3 i thought it was a bad one for me but having thought
about it its seems the best option as i will have nearly the whole  first 2 repayments of the stake in my bank account
incase i dont play much or end up on a downswing

i have requested a player audit and will post on here for all too digest

steve can you pm me your stars name too please just tried too send it came back with invalid username

longy and somerled should have funds in account tikay is due £17.84 bank transfer (i'll round it up to £18 you can buy me a cuppa if/when i get to spt)

here is the audit of my pokerstars history since the start of the venture

sorry havent been able too make it more digestable

Chin up mate, been railing on and off for a while.  This is why you have the roll right?  to ride the iffy times.

surprizingly i am in a happy place tonight as i know although making 1 or 2 mistakes i am playing close too my A game

OMG had KK got it all in on turn of 574T v A5 river 5

i love this game

saw it, was chatting but guess u have it off, rough

thought he would shove or fold lol

arghhhhhhhhhhhhh now i am starting too play bad

ok i am going too stop loading tables Ak<A6<AQ for a monster stack

Ul mate , always another day, gl catch u later

still got 2 tables open win the both i am still in profit for day lol

ok 1 table left tried too represent the hand my oppo had should of know he had it as he had habbit of flopping the nuts

bad day in office infact i think the worst day of the month roll 426.88

the 4 FT and only 1 cash and that was a 7th is the difference between a bad/reasonable/good day

hopefully get a session or 2 in before the month end and hopefully get some profits too share out again

Ok funday sunday think today is going to be my best day of the month so far

glglglglglgl

Tyvm

let the games begin i am on skype if anyone wants too rail

ok busted 2 so far
deepest running i am 7/17 and 20/20
with others just picking up speed or just starting
so far i am running very hot hit a couple of back doors
for nice pots picked a cpl of great  spots too bluff but oppos
couldnt find folds

feck a 6th A2dd<j8hh and 2 just short of FT

need too pick up my conversation rate

ok earlier run good has taken a nose dive not sure if i am now running bad playing bad or cold decked
so going too reduce too 4 tabling

forget 4 tabling going too take atleast an hour off
set under set and top pair top kicker v top pair baby kicker ai on flop and i am busted on river suggests i am running cold

final 2 tables then a break

feck 10th was best of them 2 shoved A6 in SB BB had AQ and a vodoo on me i had gifted him 5 of his 6k he had

Going to call it a night as I have to be at hospital for 11 tomorrow will likely get an afternoon session in

ok got alot of back pain today and a stiff neck taken some pills and will see how i feel later before deciding if i will play or not

ok going to play a session going too reg for upto 2 hours
starting roll is 311$

only 4 tabling tonight
had a cpl of bust outs in the teens but finally made a FT
2/7 at the break

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh had big stacks either side of me being very active and was card dead
open shoved from EP with KQ bb wakes with j5 and there had to shove SB with 6bb and 5/6
big blind was cl and tanked before calling with A3 and holds

hoping too get a decent result soon as stopping regging in 15 minutes

damm an 11th TT shoved into KK

1/9 and 1/12 in another 2 though

we done a win and also 2/3
8/15 and one with 36 players left

bugger
44 v j5 didnt believe he had it when flop came jjt 3rd just 2 tables left

we done another win and 1/13 in the last one of the day

massive upswing today 2/7 now and roll getting back near 500$ a win would nearly get back most of the losses since the split

we done another win roll is now 567.94$ which is over $256 on the day so after record down swings we have a record daily up swing
not sure i am going too be able too get another session in before the end of the month

i will get an audit of account on thursday but if people want too i can delay repayment of the stake by a month
each stake holder can choose if they want too delay or get the money back
i have the funds too repay everyone the 25% if they want i dont mind eitherway but
i am offering this as i havent played as many games as i had hoped this month
and will struggle too play 1000 again next month

Good job sir, I will follow the crowd/what ever you want to do.

Steve

Steve it doesnt matter about the crowd can do everyone there own choice

Lets just stick with the original plan.  If we need to re up for any reason I would certainly be happy to but would rather we just stick with what we planned to do.

no worries I will send BT on thursday for 75$

This.

Good work last night.

Thanks will deposit some $ on thursday and ship via stars

Yeah, can't remember what the original plan was but it sounded good at the time, so I'm sure it still does! :)

Thoroughly enjoying all the updates so keep 'em coming. WP.

No worries op is to by back 25% of your shares in 4 monthly installments this works well for me as I now become a share holder so I am happy with this was giving you guys the option to keep the 25% a little longer as I had a poor month volume wise

The roll will remain as it is I will deposit for stars transfers and bt the rest although roll is under 600$ we took a split earlier in month which means tge month overall we made about 500$ between us which is the top end of what I was hoping for over 1000 games

i should be back from aberdeen sometime before midnight tonight and stilll buzzing on redbull
with nothing on tomorrow untill after dinner i might get a session in before i goto bed
seems a shame not too play while running hot yesterday and hope to get roll back too 600

Ok  stick to the plan it is.

as i said earlier if you want too keep the extra 2.5% for an another month its your choice

but its not a problem me shipping you the money

because the shipping isnt a profit share and i am buying back everyone can make there won choices

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh  I don't know I am such a follower, ok I do know now.  I have 100% faith in your ability to run this up let it ride for me.

Steve

Lol no worries you can lose by letting it ride so dont worry

Lol can lose,   make me rich or at least let me enjoy the sweats :)

I meant cant lose lol

scrap that my eyes are closing despite 4 redbulls today

Havent hadva chance to sort moneys out today havent had a chance to get on laptop should get it sortef tomorrow sorry for the delay

ok added $45.01 too the bank roll $30 for longy and $15 too somerled will ship them after my dinner

will bank transfer £49.10 too red which = $75 on stars
and £9.82 too tikay as he hasnt said if he wants too let it ride or not

that will leave the share holdings as

red 37.5
longgy 15   settled
somerled 7.5 settled
tikay 7.5
steve swift 10
ironside 22.5

hopefull get a few late night sessions in the next 2 weeks as family are visiting so wont be able too get evening sessions in

guys i am seriously struggling too ger my mind into poker at the moment i am so sorry
was going too play last night and tonight but just never did maybe for the best as i am getting distracted by the smallest things
so as not too muck you about i am going too ship back the rest of the money i have of yours as soon as i get on my laptop
you have all made a profit on the stake sorry the stake didnt work out as planned
but i will give you first option when i get my head and body sorted again if you want it
i will also get a full aduit of the period of the stake for you all

ok monies have been shipped too everyone except tikay i will send his £39 when i log into my bank tonight

sorry it was a shorten stake but atleast everyone made a small 45+% profit

i will get an audit and post it on here too keep everything right

i just dont want too risk playing loading up tables and getting distracted and wasting money

going too withdraw my share from stars too so i dont get the urge too play when not right

edit tikay no payed

can please please let me know they have got the money safe

Received  TY and keep well.

Received safely. 

Will be happy to stake again whenever you feel like it. All the best.  Steve.

Received safely. 

Will not be happy to stake again as you have never watched Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs.  I mean seriously wft!!!!

I have seen dust till dawn and revenge of the nerds and saw monsters uni recently do I get brownie points

Cash safely received, thanks Iron.

45% profit - wonderful work, well done. No regrets here at all, all boxes ticked. I think you've handled the whole thing, from start to finish, impeccably, too. Regular Updates, & we always knew the score.

Well done, & thank you.

ok i am hoping too get back playing poker again before the end of the month, currently i am off all medication and i am feeling better inside myself than i have for a few years i am also been off the smokes for nearly 4 months now (they say if you can manage 3 months you should be fine)

i enjoyed playing under this stake earlier it gave me the finical freedom too play without worrying when i went on swongs and the discipline not too dabbling in other games and too keep my mind on the 45 man turbos
ideally i would like too play on a long term deal rather than a short term loan deal i havent thought about the deal i would be looking for yet but if anyone is intrested please let me know

Put a proposal up mate, definitely interested in a similar thing to previous. Good to hear you feel better, keep off the KFCs tho :D
