3 Stakes For An Upcoming 4.40/180


Recommended Posts

So, a little background on my story for this one. I started with ~$4.50 from freeroll winnings on a smaller site called Bugsys about a year ago and joined FCP around the same time. Since them, I've been grinding cash games, starting with micros (5 NL), and grinding with good bankroll management. I'm now playing 1/2 6 Max and I feel like I'm a much better player than I was before.My goal with this stakeament is to get a few people who seek to follow in my footsteps, hopefully make a small cash and grind it into a bankroll and become a better player. I'd prefer if anyone who requests a stake here be someone who is serious about starting a bankroll, and not someone who is going to be taking dumb shots and flipping coins and playing out of their bankroll. I'll be offering 3 stakes to an upcoming $4.40/180 player SNG on Stars. I only request any stakeback if you make the final table, in which case I just want 50/50 no stakeback. Anything less, you can keep 100%I'll be offering to 3 people of my choice who reply (not necessarily the first 3). Post your results when/if you bust (because I know at least one of you will take this down!). Hopefully I'll be able to do more of these in the future but I don't have much cash on Stars at the moment. In addition, if anyone does cash decently and starts grinding micros, you can message me on AIM anytime with cash game questions or join Ventrilo chats with me and a few other FCPers for sweat sessions or whatever. I know it's not much in terms of money at the moment, but I just want to give back to the community that has helped me develop as a player, and I feel that Ventrilo chats are really an excellent way of improving your game as you can learn from other people and plug leaks.Respond here with your Stars name and city. You can play in any 4.40 tonight that you want, it doesn't necessarily have to be the same one. Just post which tournament you've entered when you register so I can track your progress!Horses:1) david_keena2) gfdsa1463) TravisG4) I_fold08

I would like one please. ThePhoenix88 (vero beach)I will play at like 9/10 est if chosen. So how'd you do it? Just follow proper BR managment?
Ya for the most part. I think when I moved from 25 NL to 50 NL, I was a little short rolled (definitely by my standards now) but 5 NL, 10 NL and 50 NL - 200 NL, I was a pretty big BR nit. When I switched to 6 Max at 50 NL, things really took off. I played full ring at the lower levels and for a while at 50 NL when I was a very marginal winner. Since switching to 6 Max, I've really taken off.

All right, here's my horses, I'll send out the stakes now, play them when you want to tonight (just post the tourney #). I decided to do 4 instead of 3.1) david_keena - cuz he's running sick hot tonight.2) gfdsa146 - because he's been grinding the micros for a while and I know he has the dedication.3) TravisG - I've seen him contribute a decent bit around here.4) I_fold08 - unknown to me, but has the passion/poker drive that helps create a winning player.Shipping them out now!Edit: Also, to anyone that wasn't chosen, I'll be doing this in the future so you'll get your chance!
