Ricky Gervais laugh is one i do only when Im almost in tears when I laugh, some find it annoying but im pretty sure it's not fake at all.

"I bet she left her house when she was about, 10." ROFL
I've been playing nl25 part time for the last year while doing what ever work I can find around here. I've been stuck at nl25 due to cashouts & volume issues. I called one of the guys that has sporadic work for me and he said there should be work for me starting next week, but he isn't 100% sure. So I'm looking at most likely having work for the next couple weeks at least. That said I had a rough week at the end of march and had to cash out the vast majority of my roll to pay bills. I'm currently playing nl10 with a 10BI bankroll. I would much rather get a stake for nl25 (possibly nl50) than work my way up. I don't know how long this work will last so the faster I'm back at stakes where I can actually pay bills the better.
About me
I've been a member of LP since jan 07 and TL since aug 05. I don't think I really need to mention much more. I haven't been a part of any transactions/stakes/coaching with anyone here.
Results
I've been playing since 07 but didn't take it seriously so I was at nl2 for close to two years. I started taking it more seriously in 2009 and got to nl25 easily. I stopped playing much at all for roughly a year due to my work/living situation. That job ended and I moved on to what ever part time work I could find while supplementing that with my nl25 winnings. I had stars email me all my hands since jan of 2010 (I don't have access to the majority of those hands at the moment), so I'm assuming my HEM is accurate.
What I'm offering
I would like a stake of 30-40 BI for nl25. I will be able to play at minimum 10-20 hours per week of 4 or 9 tabling. I have skype and will be able to be contacted daily, with exceptions, and will provide weekly reports on a specified day. I am willing to play nl50 if anyone wishes to stake me for it, but I have little experience there and am not confident I can produce the results I can at nl25. I'm more than willing to work with any of these terms, but I expect to be working 40 hours mon-fri starting during the week of April 10th.
What I expect
I'm not too familiar with staking so as long as my backer is comfortable with letting me do my thing then I'm going to be happy. That said I would much prefer splitting profit rather than paying 100% of my profit back to pay off asap. I am willing to do a stake/coaching deal if it is preferred, but like I said I am only truly confident at nl25 currently.
That's pretty much it. I don't currently have skype installed so if you are interested the only way of getting a hold of me is through LP. If you are interested PM me. I will be reading comments, but I don't know how often so PM is by far the best way to get my attention.
HU PLO makes me cringe so hardby ManofFire, April 08
My god - I swear I can never win a coinflip...
I'm about 65 tournament BI lifetime under EV in this game and so far am only up like 15$ from playing this game +_+
The only good news is that on the other side of the spectrum I'm like 25 over EV for HE.
I must go dunk my head in my tears because whenever I try moving up with PLO I just get hit by the gayest nonsense in the world over and over again.
So i just moved my roll to PS, i set my seating position to bottom left for all tables. It is not syncing up with my HEM hud. Player stats are showing up in different spots on different tables
Going to try to make this as professional as possible, I am looking for a stake for the NL100-NL200 games on PokerStars. About 6 months ago I more or less entirely stopped playing online poker, I was a little burnt out and mostly just wanted to explore living poker free. I withdrew my role, took a couple of vacations, moved to Las Vegas, and basically just relaxed. Unfortunately, if poker has taught me anything, it's that I hate to waste free time. Lately, despite joining xtreme couture, I've found myself with a lot of free time and not a lot of ways to fill it, and thus my itch for poker has come back. I've decided I'd rather take a stake rather than deposit a meager amount to build up through micro's for two reasons. First, I feel it's a colossal waste of time and energy; micro's aren't the super easy quick stop they were even just a year ago and that combined with rake means I'd be spending far more time there then I'd like. Second, and more importantly, I am in the process of buying a condo in vegas. Nothing special, just a small condo to not waste money on rent. My realtor has told me that it's necessary to build up my bank account well and not have random unexplained purchases or withdrawls as those look bad to mortgage bankers.
What you can expect from me
*I am, and always have been, a very solid winner at NL100 and NL200. I'm certainly no rakeback pro.
*I have very consistent volume. I don't handle a bunch of tables very well and I found out very quick I simply can't endure the long hours of reaching supernova elite. What I can do is 50k hands a month, with all of them me being on my A game.
*Updates as you see fit. I was staked once before for a significant sum of money by someone on the site (won't name him out of respect) and I didn't update as much as he would have liked. It was a learning experience for me and I came to the realization that no matter what happens, so long as I let my backer know in a timely and forthright manner the situation will be resolved.
What you won't get from me
*Most importantly by far, I am not a tilt monkey. I have endured swings that many poker players only see in their nightmares, if you ptr me you will see a sudden dip around august of 09', that corresponds to a swing in which I ran 130 buyins below EV. What you won't see there is sudden jumps in my graph, I do not chase losses or play above my roll. You'll also notice I was able to work out of it.
What I expect of you
*I expect someone that will be willing to keep me in the games. As I mentioned before, I have endured some pretty awful swings and I know just how easy it is to lose huge chunks of your roll seemingly out of nowhere. I want a backer that will see this for what it is, and will help me to fight through it by keeping me in the games.
As I stated before, I was staked once before. The stake started out rough but my backer stuck with me and I was able to turn him a $10k profit after about 5 months of playing. I don't want to out who it was but if it's necessary to know I can talk to him and see if he's ok with discussing it.
Unfortunately, I reformatted my computer just a few days ago and I don't have my software right now. If you want to see how I perform at the games check my ptr, my sn is the same as it is here: KeanuReaver. Others that I have played with on this site can also attest to my skill as a player, I'm certainly not great by any means but I'm a creative, thinking, strategically sound player. If you're interested in staking me, please send me a pm.
I havent been blogging at over the last few months. Mainly because I havent been playing a lot of poker because I have been busy with school and other real life things lol. But now that I just about done school I have a lot more time to put towards poker after this month.
I switched to iPoker a while back because of a sick rakeback deal that I got with them. It works out to be about 55% RB which is incredible for me considering I only play 20nl - 100nl fullring. Its a nice bit of motivation to put in large volume knowing that the payback will be huge. The software is a bit tilting when multi tabling since it lags my computer a bit but it is bearable lol.
Im digging through my database looking for hands that gave me trouble. Ive found one so far but will be adding more. Really appreciate the help and feedback guys. (Hands are fullring)
HAND #1
Villain is a 36/13 fish. I expected him to raise all in on the flop after I popped him but he flat called instead which through me off a bit. When he donks on the turn Im not really sure what to make of it. So first off, on the flop do you like flatting or raising better and why? OTT should we just fold as played or ship it? If we change what happened on the flop and flat call instead, how should we play the turn? Are my raise sizes bad anywhere in the hand?

[Q] Depositing money via Instant echecksby billy5000, April 06
So I've been trying to deposit money to pokerstars, but I'm afraid of the reaction that I'll receive from my parents when they see that I'm gambling online.
I tried to find an alternative way such as using a prepaid debit card, but unfortunately pokerstars doesn't accept them.
Now all I'm left is by depositing money by using instant echecks. My question is (I've never used an instant echeck before): will this leave a sign of where I deposited the money under my bank account?
Gonna move my bankroll from FTP to possibly absolute, or somewhere else US players can play. Let me know if you can transfer up to 4k. I have transferred no prob with BoreHM on this website no prob if you scared of me. Let me know if anyone can help.
Recently I'm constantly experiencing little lag spikes and even disconnects for 1-2 secs while playing on FTP. And it cannot be my connection since pinging is all fine + its the same on 2 different providers. You got these latency issues too?
Hi.
It's kind of double post, cause I've already asked about this problem, but now I've came to the conclusion that, since I've signed up for FTP using the bnous offer there is no chance for me of getting rakeback with this acc.
I don't play huge volume of hands, but the reason to be so persistant in this is the fact that I love rush poker and I play comfortable at 100NL and I feel that even though I'm not putting tens of thousands of hands monthly I'm still losing a good amount of money by not getting rakeback, so I thought about two things - making another account by the name of someone at the family, or asking a friend for this, but I wonder If this won't cause a problem because at the end the IP will remain the same, and even though I'm far from sure that there aren't any better ideas so I'll be glad for ay particular advices concerning this issue.
Thanks
-Leron
