Hate to ask, but would like a stake

I'm discussing things with friends, and decided that things would be easier for the next few weeks if I had a smallish stake.

Here's the story to why I'm 'broke':
Basically, when I was winning a lot, I decided to go on a trip to Turning Stone with nutshot2 and bigbobm11. We got everything all set up and I cashed out for the trip. During this time, my girlfriend and I made plans to make a trip to Chicago to see her best friend (she's reimbursing us but I have to cash out to get there).

I left 3k online, and went on the worst downswing of my career so far. I've lost 22 buyins since cashing out and only have $700 online. I've been a long-term winner but stuck at low limits due to cashing out to pay bills (I'm dumb and can't get up to 2/4 or something good because I can't do anything but auto-pilot SSNL).

I would play on FTP and would gather rakeback at the same time as profiting from .5/1. I feel like I'm playing well, but I think I'm worrying too much about the money - I'll be able to re-pay the stake on a installment basis starting on October 8th, when I get back from Turning Stone.

I'm not sure how much I would need, but I would like something like 1500 and would pay back 2500 or something. I have a bunch of referrals, and I hope we can work something out.

Start the obligatory flames and "omg don't go on vacation if you can't afford it" remarks. I'm expecting it.

Thanks in advance to anyone that will help.

in short, yes

I have looked through your HH and you need a lot of work on your game to become a break even player. Staking you is very unprofitable and I highly advice anyone against staking you at NL25 and above.

I can ship you $1500 on stars if you can transfer it to FTP.

If anyones interested in staking Trey here but doesn't want to take 100% exposure, I'd be interested in taking a %. FWIW I've never been on either side of a stake so would like to team up with someone who has some experience with this kind of stuff. I also have all my money on stars.

gl btw

1500 for 2500 over how long.

i would need a copy of ur driving licence and passport though

pm me back

heh casino is possibly not the best way to judge a player although as a write this ive just realised is the only way but even so dont be the daniel negraneau of hand samples

700$ is more than enough to 12 table 25 NL and profit $$$$$ for a few weeks.

my advice to you is to not borrow money, and instead work up with what you have


please take this advice

just get someone to ship u 5$ and play 2NL... u'll be on 25NL by the end of the week.... probably find out what's wrong with ur game, and not have to worry about or pay back a stake

i agree

if u can beat the game, borrowing at a reasonable rate isnt as bad as u might think cuz u only pay some each month and if u can beat the game even for less 'bb/100 wise' u can earn more '$$$'

you can always get a part-time job if u lose and pay it like that, since monthly payments are fair.

just consider the option, im always here to help, out dont take what the 4 fellows above said too seriously.

i started with trading play money for 5$ build it up multi tabling low stakes, and at a point i was up to like 800$, then lost like 400$ on 25nl (this was like 2.5yrs ago) and was in a similiar situation where i redeposited 400$ to keep my br at 800$ and ('keep my confidence')

but anyways many negative posts

straight talk

lots of negativity in here, pretty unwarranted imo. haven't looked through the HH's well enough to counter, but trey's a solid player who i'd back if i had the money, especially if he's paying back at such a good rate. he's reputable both here and 2+2.
