Posted by erru9107: I've been meaning to post here since I first read the thread but I just haven't had the time to come around to it. Anyway, you said that you were looking for HU players so I'm afraid I can't help you there. But if you ever want someone to stake who plays MTTs, I would rate myself as quite decent when it comes to that. My bankroll is atm $0.00 since I recently cashed out. And I guess you're wondering why I cashed out every single cent and the reason is simple: I play freerolls to get a small roll going so I can get some micro buy-ins for MTTs and then I go from there.
Obviously, this isn't really a good way to make money, truth is I don't make that much, but with no risk of loosing my own money, it's better then nothing since I'm atm, well, broke.
I just looked at my stats for MTTs on PartyPoker ((using sharkscope)which is the only site I really play at) and I have a total profit of $139. It's small potatoes I know, but still, it's positive figures so I might be able to improve that a little bit more if I've got someone to stake me.
I realize that I'm relatively new to the forum so I understand if I'm your last choice
If I decide to do MTT staking sometimes be sure I will consider.

Posted by sadamman: Jovi if you're not interested because of my HU history how about i have you 5-10 HU games on mine or your home game and see what you think then.
We could do that maybe sometimes

It really is 4 hours per week, which means you would take years to get rich with this investment on my game. If we got to an agreement, maybe I could go up to the 12 hours per week, but still I think it’s a small number for your interests. Even not going any further with this, let me tell you about my game: aggressive style since the beginning, checking/calling with any hand and betting with any figure, the rest is by the book. Main thing to have at the tables: patience! About my nicks, I think you will only find some info with Fakiry or Fakiry79, the others I use never gave me that much, as I also never gave them (those accounts) that much importance. Anyway, friends in the same, hope you can find someone who really worth to be stacked, and if you guys manage to do some good results, tells us all about it right here!
I know im not super well known on these forums yet, and i havn't put up much numbers. Im also not a HU player. But I would love some capital on stars to play in their fifty50 sng's I tried a few of the standard double ups on 888poker (inda_Skies) and ive been building my BR there. If you're interested in this, or putting me into MTT's then we can talk numbers and percentages.
I'm interested. Wanted to do that for quite some time but couldn't find a trustworthy person. If you want to hear me out can you add me on some type of messenger or similar so we can make a deal? Let me know if so, cheers.

Posted by dozn01: stake me then please im up for this will give me a target to aim for
Hmm. Really? After last time?
Jovica, I ask that you please read through this thread (and maybe the second one as well, but definitely the first). See MrNuggers experience doing this - even though he stated he wasn't too concerned about the money or anything, it still managed to go sour and ultimately be a fairly unpleasant experience, not just for him - but for the guys that took the stake as well.
Just a fair warning - it's kind of like lending a mate some money - if you value the friendship, the best thing for it may be to not do it at all.

Please don't, I have a sore rib and its hard to laugh. @jess I will fund your trip to Mexico providing you bring an Oz back for me. @Jovi consider your money gone.

Thanks for the support mate Atleast I don't drink and I have some self control, it might help here
Nice threads Jess, we can see that the same mistakes being repeated over and over in these threads: Tilt and bankroll management. So we can try to learn from them. There's one thing you guys can be sure about: I'm not gonna lose 35 BIs in a couple of hours.
I prefer seeing this as a coaching session from a more experienced HU player. I'm still gonna play my game but I'll definetly listen to his advice. I'm not gonna be like "OMG my reputation is on the line I have to win" and put pressure on myself like Dozn did in the first thread Jess posted... Of course a nice positive start always helps when you're trying to build a new bankroll, but in poker you have to think long term and I'm very aware of that.

That's cool man - I was just giving a fair warning; because last time it was awkward for all involved (and hilarious for all who weren't).

Not directed at anyone, sure you know that. But, my rule No.1 is never trust someone who does not drink ...Supernoob is a dodgy one. So what is the offer?
Posted by B1gfoot: Not directed at anyone, sure you know that.
Yeah of course, don't worry I'm not susceptible

Yeah I know people that don't drink are weird because everyone drinks
I don't drink because I don't like alcohol's taste and probably never will. Wine is the worst taste sadly cause atleast it has antioxidants! I only drink when I want to get drunk for special occasions, like twice a year. But I do enjoy drinks like orange juice vodka, rum and coke and stuff like that when the ratio is good
Jovi's offer is a long term deal (wich is the only way to make it profitable for him), I will start with 35 BIs at 1,50 HU, respect bankroll management at all times and try to get to the 15$ level like him. If I get there and play 1000 HUs, then the deal is done. We split profits 50/50.

Oi don't rip supernoob for not drinking. I don't drink either, but I have a good reason. I turn into the incredible hulk and start flipping on everyone, and saying lewd things to women. Which once put me in hospital for 2 weeks with a brain hemorrhage. Learnt my lesson that way. Although you're all entitled to your own subjective opinion based on your own experiences, but mine personally aren't good.
I can't edit anymore though!
Just spent ages reading those two threads jess posted. Really compelling stuff. Funniest threads ever.
