Just sayin....

Im new to the blonde community. Some of you know me from playing at luton, a few of you know me from here, but on the whole im an unknown.

Still.... Im an unknown keen on being part of the community (the hilarious banter), learning/improving my game and helping others (although thats unlikely!)

Something I feel I want to make absolutley crystal clear is that I will not be reaching 300 posts and asking to be staked.

I find the mere thought of it beyond cheeky.

Im sure I would benefit from an outragous proposition but thats missing the point...

Im not someone that has a lot of money in life. Im far from any sob story... but ive made my own way in life from a young age. Life happens.

Not a winning poker player, but a player that does a little better than breakeven.

 i have 50 dollars in my stars account, i grind 3.50/7 dollar turbo sngs, when i make 100 (or need the cash) i cash back out down to 50. (still a losing account from my degen - life not happened yet times but on the up!) I have bills to pay and a retarded car to fuel (rather have a fast car than do my balls on booze and drugs FTW)

I have had some final table results live, my fair share of retarded, he runs well [ ] and in the past done okay playing 20nl on someone elses account to learn my faults and eventually get grinding.

But.....

I play when I can afford to or when a close friend/poker mentor/well respected poker and utter life degenerate insists. Often if I have/built a roll, life gets in the way and i have to start again and im totally cool with this.

Although I feel my game has massivley improved, (backed up from people whos opinion holds weight with me) to ask a community for money, just because theyre obviously more affluent than me is utterley ridiculous and outright ****ish. Personally I would class this as begging.

This is in no way intended at a specific post on this site, merely my own thoughts.

I fear that new members to this community may be tarnished with a brush - a target of getting 300 posts.

This may seem a little brash and possibly, even, that butter wouldnt melt in my mouth (far from it at the table i can be THAT guy that doesnt shut up) but i have respect for other players on the whole and as people... I wouldnt ask for anyone elses money. It is their hard earned.

Not going to lie when i first joined this site and viewed the staking thread the oppurtunities that seem to be there for a trusted player are outstanding. I long for the day that after having some serious results, Im approached to be staked.

But until the day I feel their money is in as safe hands as possible I would never even dream of suggesting it. I dont feel like I have an insane edge in any game and I doubt there are more than 0.1% of players at any level that have any edge in their field. I would think its probably relative to their buy in.

Im trying not to repeat myself and say the same crap over and over so I'll just shut up now.

But im concluding that just because staking happens, doesnt mean its there for the taking.

Obviously peoples moneyzzzzz is their own personal thing... who am i to suggest what people should do with it.

I hope that this doesnt come across as some reverse give me your life kind of thread. My sentiment is just of something that completely wound me up. Im doing it the hard way so why should a mouth with balls get a better shot.

Maybe its a whole too proud to beg scenario. Maybe if i grew a pair of worldly bollox and didnt care about how much of a tool i looked i might get a shot. But how cool would it be to be a regular winning player knowing you did it off your own back!

Its payday on Monday so maybe ill see you at the g soon! Say hello, I may even buy you a pint if you dont ask

It's tradition that each Luton Blonde newbie gives his five top players at the G. The ones with a genuine insane edge.

Off you go...
