Bear in mind a white 20 something tourament player that shipped one event has almost no chance of getting a sponsorship deal. I mean look at Alex, Deadman or Rastafish. These guys have gotten a ton of exposure and no deals are coming their way (afaik).
What do you do when you study for the 2 hours? That sounds like a lot but maybe it isn't if your just watching videos or listening to podcasts.
Nah totally understand that, I make no bones about the fact they'd deserve it more than me. However, and this may be cause for being flamed but personal opinion here...One thing that sites/companies look for is someone who is engaging, media friendly and someone who can warm to the cameras...now im not saying the aforementioned names do not have those qualities, some of them do in abundance...but there is a big difference between being sponsorship materials, and TRYING to be sponsorship material.
My argument would be that in poker as with anything else. You've got to be a lot better to be gifted professional contracts, but if you jump up and down trying to get noticed, sure you polarize people, but you become more noticeable, and it only takes one to have that punt.
If anyone getting sponsorship for warm, friendly , good player , loud , good looking , best Chinese player in the world and etc , I deserved the sponsorship ! Lol
I was doing brilliant until the spec sheet said Chinese, damnit! Guess it's all yours then ;-)

Your comment about coaching, how much research has gone into this? If you get a decent about one reference I can assure you that very quickly they will begin to plug leaks for you. They don't cost the earth, especially if you buy a block of sessions.

Agree. By god I don't mean a guy who crushes Hi level MTT's, Just a mid stakes/low stake grinder who is a constant winner.

Plans For January
Seeing as this is the quietest month of the year with regards to everything, I think it best to start slow, trying to push to do things in a month that is typically the worst for backers/friends/family/me sounds a little retarded. Hopefully i'll do this each month and go from there, the plans laid out will get more detailed in the coming months once i have a gauge for how much im actually capable of.

What kind of percentages will u have in these live events?!
Do you have a long term deal or sell one event at a time?!
If long term, how did this come about - always intrigued by this, but understand if you cannot give answers.
Good Luck!

For these specific ones, unlike most normal ones, i will have between 80-100% of myself. My student loan is soon so i will utilize that as much as i can.
However knowing what you was referring to, my usual events are between 15-25% of myself, if im above 40% its a shock
I sell one event at a time for the most part, with the occasional festival package thrown in where possible. I would give just about anything for a long term deal but alas i haven't had the luck to be in the right place at the right time. Give it chance though
The few long terms i used to have have usually been as a result of a large win and they've gone to back me for a while following that, or close friends who have gone under the logic "i wouldn't forgive myself if i gave up and that was the one you binked on"
Again, if i got a long term one it would be a dream come true, but we shall see
