anyone interested in staking?

hello fellow forum peeps

first off for the mods, i have Graham's permission to post this.

i am on a staking site called stakeashark, and i currently have a "buy a piece" which means people buy a piece of the stake i am asking for in return for a percentage of what i win. i have posted on this site asked to be staked into some games including the sunday Brawl on Full tilt and a satellite for one of the ftops events and some smaller games as its meeeeeeeeee BIRTHDAY coming up in a few weeks so i thought i would give a bigger tourny or 2 a shot and hope some birthday luck comes my way.

you can visit http://www.stakeashark.com/showthread.php?tid=5331 and i am pokernightlivepro on there and go into the buy a piece section of the forum or "bap" section and look at my big birthday bap thread for further details.

not begging just seeing if anyone is interested,

also besides a cash bonus that i included if i do good, i will also buy anyone who has supported me beer!!!!!!!!!!!

thats right if i score big i will treat you all to free drinks!!!!!!

Graham first since he let me post this

being ITM around 30% of the time + a negative ROI = playing too many qualifiers/satellites

(just my opinion obviously)

With that many bubbles you have to be playing too tight in the middle of tournaments when the blinds are high enough to make stealing worthwhile.... ie steal/re-steal more.... then you will have enough chips to take advantage of medium stacks at bubble or close to bubble time. Just a suggestion...

No offense -- but I don't think you'll be any backers with such a small sample size and a -ve ROI. I have no idea what your playing schedule is (recreational I assume, but how many MTTs a day? Are MTTs your primary focus?) but I would suggest building a larger sample size by playing at least several MTTs a day and go from there. My friend is now a top 10 online MTT player in Canada built-up from $3-$20 MTTs on Stars and now has backers for $200-$1k events every day.
