Posted by Kristan: +1 Nice story indeed Lady! I really would like to know the name of that site you played its just curiosity . Was it a big site or just some uprising poker site ?
Posted by photolong: ... i joined a poker staking site recently and found playing with staked money tricky ...
What is that? There are really sites that stack players? Owners of the site stack players ?
thanks Kristan Yes it was a large site.
------------ I SHOULD ALSO ADD THAT JUST SO ITS KNOW I HAD TO SIGN A "REALEASE" FROM SITE WITH MANY STIPULATIONS. THAT IS WHY I CANNOT/ WILL NOT DISCLOSE SOME THINGS.

well done dozn
ok here goes #1- no I was not allowed to play at other sites OT any live while with them unless it was live for them.
#2-no I do not play at the site anymore.
#3- Yup but maybe not same site
#4- That was more personal reasons why I left not really to do with the contract of sponsorship.
I am feeling a little better today, at least moving around more. And thank you

Very nice story and I'm happy you had this chance. Just because we are here, among friends, why did you stop playing there ? Don't want to know the reason but I didn't understand if you decided to leave them or if they decide not to go on with you.

Nice story Dlkiv, i knew allready a bit, but not all
Anyway i have some questions:
1) Wud u recommend staking for me? Why? Why not? (U know my roll). 2) Wot was great about it? Wot was horrible about it? 3) Did u get coaching also? And if u did, did it help u or not? 4) U played MTTs high stakes, did u find them harder versus middle stakes? 5) If playin, ur staking partners were watching u? Sometimes? Or they studied HH? How must i see this? 6) Are u single? Lol 7) Did u play live events? Can u tell sometin about it please? 8) U stopped with the staking right? Wot u do now? I know u had a break, so now play with ur own money or still a break? Wot are ur goals for the future? 9) I want to get sponsored myself in the future, dunno if its gonna happen, i know some about it, i am problably too old, so kinda not intresting for sites, they want young talented guys/girls with prefered pretty faces. As u know i had contact with a staking partner myself, my face wasnt the problem, my age also not, in fact there wasnt a problem at all, but the offer wasnt wot i expected so after interview/setup ect i said no sry but no ty, still good to hear i cud get it. Wot u think, u know my roll, i just keep on playin and move too higher stakes and forget about sponsoring?

TY TheDom.
lol You wernt kidding when you said you would have some questions where ya
ok here we go #1- It was not staking that I did,( in staking you do not have the same rules as sponsorship), and would I recommend either for you? Staking no as that is more dealing on a one on one basis with and individual and from knowing what you play your BR etc personally I think you do awesome on your own. Would I recommend a sponsorship for you? Absooolutly, you are solid in what you play and I have no doubt that given a little time and if you choose to do some self marketing then you will be noticed. Self marketing is very important.
#2- Great was playing at stakes i never would have and ending in the money,( just knowing that your play is solid enough, specially when you watch the pros on TV and go "OMG you folded/called withthat" , Not so great was being watched.
#3- Yes i did have coaching from my handler,( did i mention I was not fond of him?), was it helpfull yes and no. Yes that sometimes you pick up a habit you may not be aware of and no cause he got on my nerves and sometimes I think he just said things to piss me off.
#4- Actually no the seemed about the same. Someone else asked me a question like this and I replied with "funny enough there are donkeys at that level as well".
#5- Both, i had to submit HH and they would be watching as well in MTT's and ring. I knew this casue I would get a phone call or email afterward to get picked apart or praised.
#6-LMAO I am very happily married, but if it ever chages I will let you know
#7- I diod not stay long enough to play live events for them but I have played some on my own and done fairly well. I have 2 casinos within a half hour drive. 1 thing that some may not try but I have and really enjoyed it is larger charity tourney's. Can be a great experience and good for the wallet and ego .
#8- I have just started to play a little again. I am going to a live tourney in 3 weeks at Niagara Falls Casino. My goals for the future are to enjoy the game and see what happend.
#9-lol ummm have you not seen my age? or the video i did for BRM?? lol if your worrying about looks age etc just take a look at plenty of the pros As I said earlier in post doomdy i think you will get there and not give up. Market yourself,( if your not sure how to do this i will email you thought 's and idea's), and continue your play. I agree about making sure it is right for you and I am sure you will. I have a question for you. Have you played any live? If not then do and if you have tell us more of what you went through. I have faith in you buddy
. Was it a big site or just some uprising 
?
? 
Yes it was a large site. 
but maybe not same site
