really hope this doesn't come across the wrong way..
why don't you try and get a long term staking deal for you to play 1-2 times a week at luton in certain games. You obv are +ev and people obviously think you're a really nice lady, not only would it "keep you sane" it would help you play the best poker that you know you're able to instead of having to look at how many runners left, players left, prizepool etc etc additionally this would enhance the social side even more as you'd be spenidng more time concentrating on having a good time.
couple of reasons really. I considered doing something like this a year or so ago and started a potential interest thread. it was never going to get off the ground. I agree it would absolutely improve how I approach the games at the business end (I still think I'm generally playing decent poker in the early/mid/mid-late stages of tournaments - no doubt the other luton regs will come on and say I sure am
) if I'm ever playing in big events or being staked it's all about playing the best game I can and maximising returns.
The midweek games at Luton I see as something quite different - the fields are generally of a decent standard. In fact I was having a discussion with someone at my starting table last night that a £30 Monday night comp at Luton is generally a better standard than the £300 deepstack at DTD, so probably staking anyone to play those on a regular basis wouldn't be a great investment opportunity for a potential backer. Happy to play them as and when I can for enjoyment, and take any cashes as a bonus
