Hello,

Background

For those of you that don't know me my name is Dan Carter, I'm 25 and I've been playing poker since I was 16 and professionally since I was 17. Until 2011 I always played on my own but I was really dumb with my money and lost it all in business. I was then backed by John Eames for around a year in which I made some decent money with some swings along the way. At worst I was in $70k MU but a casual chop of the Sunday 500 ended the makeup and the backing deal. I have been on my own back since July last year and done ok. Unfortunately with constant withdrawals to cover bills and debt (credit cards and borrowing ftl) I seem to be playing off a small roll and the pressure is always high.

I'd like a backing deal similar to how mondatoo has done it. I set up a bankroll and people chip in percentages (details will follow).

Stats

I will admit I have run above average in majors and it has inevitably upped my ROI somewhat, especially on party winning the million, because of this I have given a breakdown by stake on party and proves that I am a winner at most of the levels, especially the smaller game that I have predominantly played since July last year.

 Click to see full-size image.


I've not included FTP or ipoker since I haven't played there as much. On FTP I am down around $20k and iPoker up $100k.


Proposal

For now, I'd like to solely play on stars as the volume of games are high and still really soft at what I'm looking to play. After spending more time with James Atkin lately I've taken a liking to his schedule and I'm going mimic it.

The schedule consists of a ton of $20-30 buy-ins (Approximitely 70% of the games are at this stake) and then a few $50, $80 and $100 tourneys are thrown in there too.

Bankroll

After some thinking I'm going for a $5k starting bankroll. It is a little low for what I am playing but this is for a few reasons. I figured any higher and it will begin putting people off as $500 will be buying you 10% of the stake, it sounds a lot better than it buying you roughly 8% and won't scare people off. I didn't want to run the risk of this taking a long time to sell out or not selling out at all.

Obviously there is a risk in this albeit a low one. I am a long time winning player and in time I will be showing you a profit but this is no guarantee that I won't bust the $5k roll. To help reduce variance I have come up with a rule that if the role drops down below $2k then I will remove the $80+ games from the schedule and include more $15/180 mans.

Key points

  • I will be playing 5-7 days a week for 6-8 hour session
  • I take 1 week out a month as I have a long distance relationship (don't recommend them) but I will still manage 2 or so sessions
  • I will try to abide to the rules but nothing is in stone. I'm not going to play when morale is low and I just start punting
  • 100% of my poker played online will be within this stake

Flexibility, shot taking and the nitty gritty

I want this stake to be flexible to keep people happy so I am all ears. I would still like to play the occasional evening session when I am busy or just fancy a change of scene. Sundays are obviously lucrative but are generally much bigger buyins and fields. I would like to occasionally play a Sunday schedule and throw in a few shots but I think this is only a good idea when I'm on good form and people agree.

When going in profit I will split the money up and transfer it across but only if it is a suitable amount. If I am in profit for $50 on the day after getting out of MU I think it's a waste of time sending it across so as a rule anything less than $100 profit after MU I will leave in the account.

All profits will be split 50/50 after MU.

If you decide that you want to drop out without the bankroll going bust then I will require 48 hours notice to give time to find another backer. This is because if I am one backer short regardless of percentage it means I can't play as it is an admin nightmare. If I bust the roll it's likely that it may take a day or two to replace stakers as it takes time to contact people etc. For people who do not want to reload for whatever reason can sell their MU privately at whatever deal they want, I do not want to profit by people withdrawing and the MU being wiped as it can often leave a nasty taste.
 

5% minimum investment please. I will be taking all funds on pokerstars (danistheking)

5% = $250
10% = $500
20% = $1000

I've no idea if this is going to sell out quickly or whether it will in fact sell out at all but as soon/if it does I will be playing the next morning.

Finally, any suggestions please post them whether you think I need a different bankroll or should be playing across an extra site. I will take anything most things into consideration.

Couple of updates. I can take bank transfer too as it will help speed this up.

So you've only got 25% of your relationship action?

I need to check the timestamps as I received pm's and I also posted this up on my more local forum. Will update OP and pm investors to let them know who is involved.

Matt Dale has kindly reduced his share if need be, I will leave this thread open to other potential investors until midday tomorrow as I believe it has sold out now. From there I will give priority to people that can send me money by tomorrow night as I would like to start grinding Thursday morning.

How strange. I just sent an email to pokerstars support and got a reply from .fr. It was for increasing my deposit limits as for some reason I'm only on $1k a day with my visa card. I double checked the address I sent to and it was definitely .com.

Expect PM's requesting for payment in the next couple of hours.
