The 2,500,000 on I-Poker

[mondatoo]

I would love to play the 2,500,000 tourney on ipoker (would play it on blonde of course) but I'm not sure anyone would be interested in staking $1500 for a player who can only state his own confidence in himself without the results to back it up.The fact is i haven't played that many mtts and most of the ones i have played have been crapshoots which i haven't done much of note in.I have only played two very well structured tourneys imo one being the apat event a while back where i was chip leader overnight, chipleader final table and then took a pretty sick beat 5 handed to busto.The other as some will know is the equal chance main event which i ran deep in and finished 10th.I feel really confident that i can do well in any tournament that has a similar type of structure as the two aforementioned as i feel my game really suits this style of poker.

So what i was wondering was would anyone be interested in staking me to play a couple of sats to get into this event (if anyone's wondering why I'm not just paying the amount to play in the sats myself $100/200 is still too much for me to pay at the moment)If i then qualified for the event i would split any profits 75/25(in stakers favour) with stake returned 1st.I attempted to qualify for 5 events I believe for the last ECOOP series (i would say i had maybe 2,3  attempts at most at a single event) and qualified for three of them and this was playing both stages 1 & 2 in order to sat into the event so i would say i play sat mtts pretty well imo.

Obviously as the event is this sunday night i haven't given much time to sort this out but I'll ask Kev if he could sort a transfer out if anyone is interested and if he's happy to do so i would say if anyones interested please either pm me or let me know here by Friday night and then Kev can sort it Saturday then i could play either a sat running on Saturday or sunday whichever's best.

PS Clearly it's nowhere near the standards of The Tanks staking request but hopefully I've included everything needed.Cheers

You are asking people to stake you in a sat and then get only 50% of profits, its a joke.

I have already staked someone outright for this event and they are on 20% + a much better and experienced player.

[wader leg]

They do stage 2 feeders for as little as $6, where you try to win a seat in a stage 1 qualifier then if you qualify for that you're in the $2,5000,000 proper.
Have you tried any of these first?

[thetank]

Need help, very tired.
Why is staking someone to play a sattelite a bad thing?

Other than it being a longer shot to see a return, but would that not offset by the smaller outlay?

If they have no chance and offer you a small %...

Sorry about that guess i'm not to clued up it must seem on how staking works as never seen anyone only getting 20% for a tourney before guess thats due to me playing a sat first.Anyway cheers for the reply much appreciated if i'm daft enough to ask againfor a different stake i'll try to make it fairer for the stakee i wasn't trying to con anyone obviously, just a bad proposal from me sorry for wasting peoples time.

I played one stage 2 got through to stage 1 but bustod in that as it was r/a and i didn't have enough in my account for either lol hmm.Haven't been on the i-poker network much so haven't played on there recently.I may have a shot at a couple of the stage 2's myself and see how it goes.Obviously my chances are qualifying for the event would be greater if i could play one of the better stage 1 events with more seats but as i said in op to much money for me at the moment.

I gotcha now

So the OP proposal is almost like selling 50% of yourself at 2.0? (except for the stake back first part)

[Colchester Kev]

what about trying to qualify, and then sell some shares in your action if you make it  ??

Ps. Just because flushy mocks your proposal it doesnt automatically make it a bad one.... Flushy isnt God, he just thinks he is

Flushy IS God.







This opinion has nothing to do with the fact that he is currently staking me.

I didn't realise this  obviously but glad to see an experienced player such as yourself hadn't either.Thanks for your comments

Easy mistake to make (or so I tell myself), what with all the horses needed threads that dot around the place.
They're just a bit of low limit fun.



I suppose you could use Flushy's feedback and rethink the numbers more along the 80:20 line.
