Probably gonna need rakeback I think. Only played a few hundred hands on SvS. Seemed ok, but need rakeback!

Ok, I would highly recommend SvS though, especially if you're going to play few tables. Rake is sick-low (2.5% I think?) so no need for RB. Only reason not to play NLHE here would be to mass table or play higher stakes.
Just my opinion, you should consider it atleast :D

Oh, didn't know. Yeah, I'll consider all offers for sure

svs have like built in 40% rakeback + winrates of 20bb/100+++ unless ur a complete tard under 10/20SEK


soooooooooo

ye play svs smallstakes

Staking people is dumb.

This guy has emotional problems if he can't even keep a blog going.
Not very +EV to stake a poor college student with emotional problems.

"
Poker-wise, tbh I'm unsure of my current abilities. "

C'mon man, you're selling yourself in this blog. You gotta oooze confidence + specifics if you want to get staked.

I'd rather be completely honest. It's better in the long run. How can I be anything but unsure of my current abilities in poker when I haven't played in 6 months? I'm sure I will be profitable in NL100/NL50, but I'm not gonna exaggerate and say I will crush or try to hypnotize people into staking me, that's not my game.

Yeah, my emotional problems are being worked on in more ways than one. Anyone who is interested in staking me can ask whatever questions they want about my emotional state, and I'll answer openly about everything. But I'm not gonna write anything out in the open as I've decided it's too personal.

Specifics, though, I can share. My handbooster graph will show me as a long term winner in NL200 and NL1K, albeit a swingy NL1K ride. A loser at NL2K and break even at NL600. I may have problems, but I've played a lot of poker in my days and honestly, staking me has to be +EV. That's all I'm gonna say for now.

All else aside (and I'm fairly sure Stygg is correct in most of what he writes) I don't see wtf inability to keep a blog going has to do with winrates.

I just get a feeling he's trying to cover up some past tilt tendancies to make hismelf look better.
Secondly, if i were going to get a stake it'd be like this:

Yo, I'm sniderstyle. I used to be pro for 2 years then black Friday came and I spent all my poker winnings trying to survive.
Internet poker is regulated again but now I'm busto, plz stake me

-here are my 1.5 million lifetime hands/graph
-here is my pokertable ratings screen name(s)
-here are my years of blogs of being a trustworthy and valuable member to the community
- here are my recommendations from trustworthy members of the community

*
You'll also have 100% access to my account and I'll try to make you feel as comfortable as possible because i know how scary it is to give a random person money over the internet.



That's what I would look for if I were to EVER stake anyone.

But I'd be more like Phil Galfond who says that he's never ever staked anyone ever and will never. But he does buy action from people when they take shots at higher stakes.

Things like 100% access to my account, I kind of already took that as a given, isn't that standard? Whatever the staker asks of me in terms of monetary security on his behalf, I'll provide. I've already said I will be available at all times, short of sleeping hours, I will never disappear or do anything that is remotely shady. I was hoping my honest assessment of the situation would give the big picture of me being just that; honest.

I can't mention black friday as it didn't affect me, I also don't have or could dig up more than a fraction of the ~2 mill or however many hands I've played lifetime. The only thing I have that is accurate is my handbooster graph, the only (to my knowledge) accurate graph for Ongame players. Maybe I have a few thousand unprocessed hands on this computer too, I'm not sure.

I've done bets with people on LP, world cup bets, and upon losing I have promptly sent the money. If anyone asks for proof of this, I will provide it.

Bottom line is, anyone who PMs me with questions will get 100% honest answers from me.

If I had to stake someone beetween sniderstyle and stygg , I would snap call stygg lol ...
Unfortunally I can't , gl tho.

I agree with waga, I'm not going to stake anyone but stygg's honesty makes him look very trustworthy.

Also, using longple's definition I'm a complete tard =(

So what limit are you looking to get staked for? How low are you willing to start?

Well, in order to make some actual money relatively quickly, I feel like NL50 would be the lowest limit I would want to play. Preferably NL100, and wishfully NL200, but noone's gonna stake me for that I think. Four hours per day with 6 tables of NL50/NL100 would give me enough daily rakeback that I would consider a good source of income the way things stand right now. I'm willing to put in a lot of hours and I really want both parties to get somewhere with this, it's important to me that whoever takes a chance with me feels it was worth it.
