Hi, I tried to find better subforum for this but couldn't find better one, maybe i'm blind or something.Simple question...I was a decent winner on lower stakes, built my roll (1500$) from 200$ in like 40days sticking to brm (30 bi for moving up), was able to handle the swings i guess...but then comes this situation where i blow my whole roll playing nl400 + nl1k hu cash, and the best part is that i just came back from my downswing, and I didn't even think of doing something like that while i was getting coolered for few days....big lifetilt was the main reason actually, and i was in a 'i have nothin' to lose' or 'i have 5k roll or i bust and i don't fckin care because life sucks'....later everything goes well except my roll - healthy 0$...irony?long story short, is it possible for me to anyhow find a staker without someone's 'word' for me? i'm a 2p2 lurker but i don't have reputation and i don't have any 'poker friends'...only thing i have is sharkscope graph and i guess it's not enough...so is it possible to find in my case or only thing i can do is to give bjs untill i have my rollthanks :<
If I would stake someone the words of anybody would not mean anything to me. What I wish to receive are all the screen names and of course they cannot be blocked on sharkscope or similar pages.Once they check your states they will notice that you played NL400+ underrolled and will not do any business with you or will make a bad deal offer to you (second is most likely) with a penalty clause in case that you tilt off again.For what amount you wish to be staked anyways? People will not ask to many questions if its about 200$......but if it is about 1500$, they might even wanna receive copy of your passport and so on.
Hi.
I'd prolly try to find a 40-50 bi stake for 30's turbo...I am really, really sure that the same kind of situation that led me to play with my whole roll would not happen again...it was a strange condition, and it was even stranger i did that cause my bankroll was on highest point ever...like i said i was in 'i got nothing to lose now', and when all goes well in 30mins you kind of want to kill yourself for your stupidity...I'm also trying to find someone here to stake me who i could meet in person...will try hard online, even i think i don't have a chance because everyone asks for someone who can vouch for them and i would have to say "nobody", of course passports and everything else would be the smallest problem for me :) that's why i posted here, wasn't actually sure if i stand a chance or no, should i try or not :)
To lose: 5 minutes to create a thread. 10 minutes to answeer some questions.To win: all you wish for.Seems pretty easy to me. ;)
Hi.
Yes, i guess you are right, but i really didn't want to create a topic and to receive 19 troll posts and get flamed and locked topic...I was curious if i even have a chance without someone's word etc, but you are right, doesn't cost me much to try :) btw, i dont even know how i missed to say that i played drunk when i busted it, didn't use 'exclude me from playing' because i didn't think ill get drunk and i wanted to play after i went out...god
This excluding clause has saved me couple of times in the past ... :)I also, once (must have been about 2 years ago), when i played NL25, have chased someone down on NL100. Of course the bad variance f*cked me godlike, even tough he has been a giant fish. Long story short; I have lost like 3 stacks to his goofy play (which are 12 stacks of my main limit back then) and did just tilt for the rest of my money on NL100 and NL200.You will have to figure out a way to deal with your tilt. Just saying 'I wont tilt anymore' will not do, believe me. ;)
Hi.
Busted my roll few times already, allthough it was about 100$ each time, and this time i decided it was the last time, and it was 3 months ago, played 6max, had to withdraw blabla, and after withdraws i had 200$ on stars, and i decided to play husngs...i didn't do anything stupid in those 3 months, and of course i experienced sick downswings...like i said, this time it wasn't tilt...i just came back from big downswing, everything was ok...but when other things in your life go like shit, you don't care for anything, i was in a suicidal mode rofl...btw, i also strongly believe that i would be more successful when staked, because i wouldn't play with my money in that case and i could focus on playing my A game all the time...when i'm playing with my money i'm in 'what if i bust now, i won't be able to come back' constantly under pressure etc...and i know that i can easily beat those limits
I've seen people get stakes without knowing any main community members, but it's not very common.What's your Stars name?
