What sort of staking deal are you looking for, Have you tried sites lil 2+2? Also, What sort of process do you have to go through in order to get into a group like BB?

Can apply, Sylvia Hewitt looks through applications then talks to the applicant personally to see if they are right for the team.

Based on what's out there, ideally looking for 50/50. Thankfully tomsom is an absolute diamond and got me to pm a guy looking for low/mid stake regs. Seemed a really nice atmosphere and group they have with a sick coach, hopefully they enjoy my HH's then we are good to goooo. Need to make sure it's relatively flexible (which seems like it is), since I imagine some works I will have more work than others.

Not tried 2+2 simply because I don't post there. Feel it's a little cheeky to rock up to such a big site being like "sup guys, I've arrived, not posted once but ship me the backing deal".

I suppose thats true, maybe its worth a shot as a last resort. Is the application just based on poker results? None of my friends from school played poker at all so since i left the only people i have close to me that have any basic knowledge on poker are my brother and my dad. I haven't played as much live as i hoped because we recently got a puppy which I've to take a lot of responsibility for. I know it helps talking to other players about hands and plays etc. which is why I've tried to become more involved on this forum, but sometimes its difficult to make significant progress entirely on your own. Maybe its worth a chat on PM or something to go into more detail?

Agree entirely with what you are getting at. It's so important to have the right peers. Always worth asking for help/posting hands whenever you can. I find the majority of the time if you are open to criticism and are open minded about lines you took, then people are more than happy to give a helping hand as it's not a waste of effort/time invested.

Think I may go to 2p2 as last resort. The application is based on the willing to learn and the fact I have a decent reference here and there from people. I think the learn part is most important, sites would definitely take a losing player with an open minded approach over a marginally winning player with a closed mind. A lot of it is down to potential based on attitude and having the right mentality to succeed and take it seriously. It does help that I know a fair few UK based full time/part time players so I'm an actual person, as supposed to being an anonymous guy who could grim.

Not necessarily sponsorship. They have leagues where there is "added value" from Grosvenor like GUKPT main event seats and tokens. Then there is possibility for BB to put up like 25% of your buy in to an event depending on how much you have contributed to BB funds in the past.

The main idea is to be a live team of players that then represent Grosvenor at Grosvenor events. The staking will not be given for anyone but Grosvenor events. Also a group of players to help with strategy railing etc etc. Individual players also do sometimes back individuals as part of the group but this is different to BB putting up funds and works in a similar way to how blonde staking threads would happen

worked didn't it Wink

After tomsom announced yesterday morning "I will get you an online backer by this lunchtime, he was infact just one day away from his prediction.

Yet to confirm as I want to hear from PokerPlayer to understand just how much I have to work as I don't want to waste either parties time, but I now have something waiting if I want to take it.  SHIIIIIIIIP

It was my own bad, I forgot that everyone else in the poker community doesn't get out of bed till 2-3pm.  Except MC, but he's some kind of weird poker cyborg from the future.

Everyone else has had a go at moaning it in, I thought I would give it a spin, and tbf it's done a smashing job!!!  Maybe I should be moaning a lot more.....
