Can you tell me what pokersite do you play on and what your username is?
What stakes do you play, is it ring games/tournaments etc?
Before any kind of offer can be made, noing and see your previous results is essential
Here is my email address **EMAIL REMOVED BY ADMIN**, am not saying i will or wont back you but i would like to discuss further with you if you would like away from any other influences on this site and 3rd 4th 5th partys getting involved if you understand what i am saying
regards
P.S I have already backed someone who plays on 888 so backing someone on a different site appeals to me under the right conditions

I'm not sure I could bring myself to back a third party until, and unless, I had seen them play for real. Would be interesting Jammy to hear your take on how you go about this online to ensure you arent scammed (not suggesting IAMUN is trying to scam anyone), but would always be apprehensive about it.

I'm sry but i dont believe in Santa anymore. If ur good as u say u are why the need for backing? I mean, if u can afford ur electric bill and obviously have access to a computer wouldnt take long for u to turn a few bucks into hundreds... or would it?

What the hey is this? I live here in the U.S. and I'd like to know where about you live here. Things aren't great, but you should be pretty well established at the age of 38. Not saying things don't happen to people, but if you want any assistance from someone who does help needy people I don't think they're wanting to play poker. But, let's hear something about you, where you live and what happened to put you in the situation your in. Sorry to be forward, but I like to think I've helped a lot of people in my days, but they needed it.

Well, he did mention losing his wife... so maybe that's not the kind of *backing* he was talking about.
*Edit* Inb4 locked for begginz. (Reported ftw)
Maybe him getting "backed" is why his wife left him to begin with. Back-door shenangins ftl
In all seriousness though, op, I really think you need to re-evaluate your priorities man. Instead of begging for stakes in a freaking poker forum, how about spending time looking for a new job. Perhaps if you find a new job, and promise not to get "backed" anymore, maybe she'll take you back.
Or continue to be a complete degen, begging for stakes on poker forums. That'll win her back for sure. Chicks dig jobless degens who have to beg for poker rolls.

BOOOOOM!!!! haha, got his number!!! but in all fairness poker staking is becoming very popular, the flipside of that coin..... a one liner to get staked is not really the best way to go about it...

Posted by grahamy27: some of the best poker players in the world have been staked..look at Stu Ungar he was staked on many occassions when he couldn't afford the buyins..
peoples circumstances can change at any time, asking to be staked in my eyes isnt begging and especially if you are getting a return..
goodluck
Yes, but under the "circumstances" of OP, I think it's safe to say it'd be a poor investment for whoever decided to take the venture. Besides, staking/borrowing/begging threads aren't allowed/wanted here, as they usually incite flame wars, usually from people like me
My personal belief is, if you can't afford to fund your poker habit, you probably shouldn't be playing.
