Im also looking for staking into a cash game which is outside my roll at this time. Last year I played a few sit downs of 5/10 at the Venetian and did very well, I updated a blog that showed how I was getting on here :
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=42705.0Generally I made a nice sum but after getting too confident lost a full sit down but got this back at a later date. For the cash im looking for a total of $7k which is going to be half of my cash roll whilst there. The $14k will be pooled and used solely at the Venetian for their 5/10 game. All profits will be split 60/40 in my favour, reason for this is that I feel the swing here should be a lot steadier has much more chance of a decent return than any tournament whilst out there. Should the roll reach a total of $25k whilst out there I will come back on here and seek every backers permission to sit at the 10/20 game at the Venetian or possibly the Bellagio. If one person says no then ill stick to the 5/10. When playing cash games, I like to sit deep and generally sit with around 300-500 bb's.
What a hero that man really was. I miss him and hope he see's this thread and takes it in the good nature it is meant!
Right this is another comedy staking thread devised by Mr Russell and myself whilst drinking pint number 4 last night (this is when all the best plans come together!)
I am looking for staking into the 5/10 and possibly 10/20 games in the Venetian in between Xmas and New Year.
As many of you know I am more interested in fun times than the grind so the session I will play on this stake will be exactly 2 hours long.
And thats it. No more poker.
What ever is left at the end will be changed for the largest chip denominations possible and Sophles will choose a roulette table where the fund will be placed on 0 and the neighbours.
Should 0 and the neighbours hit, then the same bet will be placed. This will be repeated until we do not hit.
This is the same exact bet, it will not be increased so if the original bet is $100 x 5 then $400 will be used on the next spin to bring it back to $100 on all 5 numbers.
Selling in $100 blocks and it will work as follows
<$500 sold this doesnt go ahead
$500 - $1150 sold I will play 1/2 with 2 x $200 bullets, this will be added to the remainder for roulette
$1151 - $2300 sold I will play 2/5 with 2 x $500 bullets, this will be added to the remainder for roulette
$2301 - $4600 sold I will play THE SOFT 5/10 with 2 x $1000 bullets, this will be added to the remainder for roulette
>$4601 sold I will play 10/20 with 2 x $2000 bullets, this will be added to the remainder for roulette
Some of you may be asking about my poker qualifications to play at this level and I would like to state now I have no reason to believe I am profitable at this level of pokerz but I do have a pretty good record at 1/2
Anyone concerned with this however is clearly in the wrong thread.
I will be playing the pokerz pretty tight, but wont be scared to get it in if I think were in good shape. The figures above all allow for me to lose both buyins at poker, and we still get our money back if we hit on the roulette.
I will update on this thread while I play and hopefully this will be scheduled so you can all follow the balance thats going to the wheel of fun.
Not sure what they are a like with photo's while your playing but I will do my best to get the evidence.
Sure a few people can vouch for me on here that this will not end in a Blatchesque fashion, but we could well end up with nothing
