ps i hate lying but you made me do it

oooh lots going on, let me clarify

If i boot a player and they are in MU then ul me, if a player stops playing for me and has MU there is little i can do (i have a player who is in for just over £3k atm who hasnt played for 6months+ and has made no plans to play.....)

I tend to back people i know well and/or trust so say if they came into a lot of money in another way (say a big sports bet or whatever) and they wanted to play off their own roll then i am pretty sure all of them would either just buyout or play it out then go on their own way, i had one guy do this just 2 weeks ago, he decided to go his own way, cleared MU and away he went.

So as you say what is the risk for me? Well as you can see i am quite selective to reduce the risk to the point there isn't much at all, so why do i get rewards?

We all know MTT poker is ridic volatile and to be playing the comps my guys all play you need a ridic sized roll, none of the guys have a roll of this size so they have 2 options, either play smaller stakes and grind up, or take staking and lose 1/2 the profit. Now if they make 30k a year at the small stakes or 100k at the higher stakes where are they better off?

Think of it as a credit card with no credit check.

I also like to think they get something else out of it, we have a fun league going on and i help out the guys when i can be it lending them a few quid or giving them some general advice i have learnt off my own back (like when to take a break!!)

Oh and i do cashouts instantly not like them poker sites!!!

3k roll please

Me too please, cheers

Flushy, I dont think you lack the self-confidence!  So can I ask why you dont use the money you use to stake others to move up to even higher levels, or do you feel your about as high as you can go in MTT's?

Yeah i kinda already do i mean i play max volume online when i do so i don't see the need of adding the $1k's and anyway they are way to late for me as the best tournaments to play start from 8pm onwards (i prefer to target the Europeans than the Americans as they are so much weaker)

As for live it's just not cost effective to play anything but really big buyins as it takes days to play these £1k events when i spend £1k at 8pm every night!!! The EPT's would be good if it wasn't for the fact the fields in them are quite tough (excluding the ones in rich towns/citys) so there really isn't much of an option except for:

One off comps like the Partouche Poker Tour which despite its ridic juice is so +EV its crazy
TV Tournaments, the crap that's shown at 1am on TV is littered with clueless players and they only take a few hours to play so massive bonus there!
