lurbz 2 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Alright, I'm willing to give this a shot.I'm looking to find 2-3 people with which to conduct a sort of micro-to-low level backing deal which would run for a while, but would still be situational in the exact amount of time. Here are some details:1) Those selected would be expected to discuss hands in a group when possible, or amongst themselves if some of the group is not available. A couple different outlets would be provided with which to do this.2) Many different deals are available in terms of what would be played, PM me with what games you believe you are best at and what you believe you could begin well in. I am definitely looking for one person to begin at 6.50 turbo 9/45 SNGs and possibly 7.70 180 SNGs.3) The decision will most likely be made in the next couple of weeks, so that anyone who is interested can put together their information and send it to me.4) I realize I'm not terribly well known here, but those who do know me know that I will put as much work into this as possible in order to better the play (and results!) of everyone chosen.So, in conclusion, if you are interested in this sort of a deal, PM me with the games/levels you believe you would be most comfortable in, and I will go through them and choose which ones I believe are best suited for this particular system.

GWCGWC 83 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Nice. I hope the situation ends in a win/win for both the staker and stakee. If you're going to start posting more, I'd like to do a HU match for avatars. Link to post Share on other sites

vonteego3 0 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Be very, very careful with who you select. I'd recommend references from well-known, respected players. If you don't, be fully prepared to be scammed. Link to post Share on other sites

Jariso13 1 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Good luck. And make your horse send back the initial stake asap to at least minimize the chance of getting completely scammed. I tried one of these things once and one of the guys disappeared. (Even though he did magically send the money back to me out of no where 6 months later). You need to remember that generally there is a reason that whoever u stake is broke online and looking for micro stakes other than they cant get money online. Good luck finding someone who will actually try their best, be respectable, and care. Its a good opportunity for whoever is picked. Link to post Share on other sites

Gallo 1 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Also maybe check out how they play by maybe requesting a few of their most recent HHs, don't just look up their stats on OPR. HHs can tell you alot to see if maybe they need to learn more and are probably worthy of being staked. Some people here are probably pretty good but just don't have the funds, then there are others who might've had a nice score because they got lucky. But I think looking at someone's HH can really help you to see if someone is worthy of being staked. Or maybe you can sweat them in a tourney. And this is what NNB meant that "results don't matter". OPR can be deceiving in the sense that someone might have a bad OPR but plays well, whereas someone could have a good OPR but only because they might've gotten lucky.

OPR can be deceiving in the sense that someone might have a bad OPR but plays well, whereas someone could have a good OPR but only because they might've gotten lucky.Good point Gallo and I had this in mind, just didn't post it - this is obviously a preliminary process to get to that stage where I begin looking through HHs, etc, to see who is playing well and who is cardracking/luckboxing. I understood what NNB meant, and have known it since before he said it, that sometimes the breakthrough just doesn't come and someone doesn't have an unlimited resource pool to break through the initial crap runs that sometimes happen when starting a BR. Obviously I'm looking for good players and for both sides to end up profitable in this, it's not a toss out stakes raffle. I'm doing my homework, but thank you for the input and it is absolutely crucial to keep your points in mind. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I possibly accept this challenge!sweetYou pick the game and stakes (reasonable amount meaning not too high), if you win I'll change my avatar to whatever you'd like for a month and will never use this one again.

I'm available to play almost every night.lemme know Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Sparco 2 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 and will never use this one again Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!Sorry, lurbz, but I'm going to root against you in this one...Edit: damn you, Gallo! But at least I've got a new (noob-length) page. And since we both fight for a good cause, I think we should start a petition or something. Link to post Share on other sites

Chet Chetterson 0 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Not being allowed to return to your old avatar seems excessive, but so be it, post when the match goes down, it would make a great rail call Link to post Share on other sites
