Nice offer Jess, very kind on your part. Congratulations on the continued success you are seeing in the MTTs on PKR - are you looking to attack MTTs with an even higher prize $$$$? Just curious because that is the path I would like to take later this year. Keep it going!

Yeah, well as my roll allows for it, the $70 one today was a "shot" and binking that certainly allows me to take more shots at bigger ones.. Thing is, PKR doesn't have that many big MTTs and the ones they do have are terrible time for aussies, so I can only play them sometimes

Here IslandJack - I've copied the bit I meant, since the other thread has continued on now anyway:
Also IslandJack
If you are interested, I may have a staking offer for you on Party Poker, say around $100 - I was thinking you could choose 4-5 MTTs or something (I'm not fussed) and 50/50 split on anything you make.
Reason I am offering, other than run-god on P.K.R, is because I got my $90 on Party from BRM and i was a bit drunk and I spun it up to around $250 playing roulette like a donk lol.
So post here if you're interested, no pressure at all to make any $$ or anything, my roll on P.K.R is fkn healthy. It's more since you're running bad I thought I'd give you a break, if your run-bad continues and no cashes, I really don't care.
Just to add: I'm not that likely to need/use my Party Poker money; I have rakeback + bonuses to clear at P.K.R and really don't see myself using my allocated poker time on Party with a smaller roll, which is basically why I am offering this.
And the idea isn't something like "grind away blah blah, obey bankroll management blah blah". Just that you mentioned not being able to play decent tourneys, so I was more thinking along the lines of a "high risk" stake sort of thing, you just play 4 X $20 BI MTTs, or even 1 X $100 BI game, details aren't so important, but the idea is just to take a shot, maybe 3X $30 works well.. I dunno.
------------ oh also - I've never done a player to player xfr before, on party, or anywhere else. So I don't even know if my account on Party is "cleared" (by security) to do this, but obviously can try.

to get your account allowable for transfers you have to send more id's/proof of identification,example bank statement, phone bills ect.

I can do that, I have a scanner + some documents already scanned that i've had to send to poker rooms before.

I´m speechless....
That is one of the nicest things someone has done for me in a long time.
I really have to think about this for a couple of days though. I hope you don´t mind. Never put a $ into Poker, and never lent money or anything from anyone, so I need to think this through.
Was just saying to my best friend who lives here with me (a girl), that i might just risk my bankroll next week and play higher buy-ins, just to avoid the horrible play I´m facing now. BUT, I really don´t think it´s my game, I just seem to be losing the crucial hands where I go in WAY ahead. So it´s clearly varience. I even laid down QQ to a "trapper" with KK today. I"felt" he was trapping, and he congratulated me for the great laydown. So my reads are still good. I seem to be playing ok, just my AA and apparently all the rest are not holding up when I need them to.
(read my "sick and tired of it" post, it´s always the same story...) Don´t know how i would feel losing your very nice offer as well.
But the thought goes a long way, and it couldnt have come at a better time. I really lost it tonight, and I feel better just reading your post.
Tomorrow I have a busy day, but I´ll talk about it with my friend and get back to you, ok? Thanks again Jess!

Cool no worries, I understand - I would react in a similar way for sure. I'll have to chat with PP support to and sort out the ID requirements or whatever (shouldn't be a problem, I've got all the docs saved as .jpg anyway).
But yeh, the idea is anyway - just to take a shot(s) at some higher buyin games, to hopefully break the mindset you get stuck in when you're continually getting donked in the low-buyin games. It's really no skin off my back, I wouldn't ever ask to see graphs, etc and there's no pressure to win anything and completely no problem if you don't cash. It's not a grinding stake, just a way to take a shot at something a bit bigger.
Anyway, think it over and let me know.

don't tell onlinejoke !
oops...fodder for the rigtards...
I would like to think about it over the weekend if that´s all right with you Jess. Was inclined not to accept but just appreciate, but my friend thinks I should do it. She says I´ll pay you back anyways should I play it away fast, and that´s a fact. I´ll never quit this game, and will play "nitty" enough to build the roll back up anyways. Might just save me a lot of time not having to "grind" away...
Was kind of looking at it as a challenge in a way.
If you want to move with it before than, no problem at all, the gesture is what´s most important here for me. Thanks again Jess.

I say take the money and blow it on cocaine and hookers in Vegas. Its a good punt that you should not miss out on, just don't dive in, and pick out some nice games to play.

Yep that is cool, take your time. I understand it's difficult to accept this kind of offer. I still have to 'validate' my PP account I think too, before I can do this.
Only condition if you do accept the offer: I don't want any effort made to pay me back if you don't cash. I'm asking you to play outside of your roll here and with maybe 4-5 buyins max, even less if you would prefer to just take 1 or 2 bigger shot(s). So I accept full responsibility for the stake. And you need to accept that condition, because I'd feel terrible if this just back-fired and you ended up feeling like you owed me something.
In all honesty, I'd probably just piss the money away in PP casino otherwise anyway, so it's not biggie - also, it's just from the mob safe, so it's really not outta my own pocket.

On this budget I'm looking at a toothless needle addict and a bag of babytalk/detergent combination...
I need more cash!
I would advise against this. Stretching $100.00 across cocaine AND hookers + a trip to vegas has never ended well for anyone.

UPDATE:
I checked out Party cashier to see if I could do a transfer, it was locked and requested 2 documents (ID + bank statement) I have now uploaded both of these and are awaiting an email back. So I will let you know if/when I am able to do transfer.. Which I guess is OK since you're thinking about it for now anyway, so I hope by time you've made a decision, this feature will be enabled for me..
