Mid-Stakes SNG Backing

[headnick]

Hi all,

New to the forum but have been around a while. Firstly a little bit of my story.

I am 35 years old. I started playing poker in '05 and started taking it seriously in '07. I have been a member of PXF for some time and have had personal training to improve my game from some of the best names in the business (PM me for details).

I played for a year full-time and was backed in '07 (PM me for backers details as you would all know him) for MTT's and quite honestly only broke about even (for MTT's) over a 6 month period and paid back my make-up and got out of the arrangement.

I made the majority of my profit in "07 4-tabling mid-stakes SNG's on Full Tilt (look up headnick on sharkscope for Full Tilt stats) and at one stage was top 5 worldwide for mid stakes SNG ROI and profit, however I still only made a $20,000 profit in that year (16% ROI) which was not sustainable income for my age and lifestyle, so I have since gone back to work and moved to a semi-rural community with my family.

Now...I do well financially but have a family so I do not have a huge disposable income to play high stakes (I practice strict BR Management), and I also do not have the time to play MTT's, so I have now reverted back to playing smaller-stakes SNG's (which bore the hell out of me) and up until recently small stakes RUSH on Full Tilt which I did quite well at.

Now if you look at my most recent sharkscope stats you will see I have been hovering around break-even however I do concede that even though I use software I still play waaaayyyyy too many tables at once (12 to 16) due to boredom with playing low stakes. It may pay to disregard my Stars stats as the majority of these stats were accumulated in '05/'06 when I was very fishy

So here goes.....

I am looking to possibly enter into an arrangement to play high stakes SNG's ($100-500). I cannot and will not guarantee anything other than the fact that I will only ever play 4 tables at any one time, and will always text when and if I am playing. I will only play approximatley 40 tourney's a week and all of these will be between 8:30PM and 1:00AM Australian time.

I will only enter into an arrangement with serious backers who understand variance and are looking for a long-term agreement.

If you are keen and require further information feel free to send me a message.

Regards,

Shane

No offence mate, but I dont think you have played anywhere near enough SNGs to even consider playing high stakes.

Also the games, in particular SNGs, have gotten a fair bit harder over the last few years.

8:30pm - 1:00am????

I put in more hours having sex with my partner....


Just sayin

Even if that were true, I don't think it would matter to someone playing four tables. That is few enough for him to practice strict table selection.

You don't agree it is true? I thought it was pretty widely accepted.

And is there really enough HS SNGs running at those times to be able to table select that well? That is early morning US time and early afternoon Europe.

Dude, I asked if anyone is interested to PM and discuss in detail. If you do not wish to back or don't have the money I'd appreciate you keeping your negative comments and unfounded claims to yourself.

You did not even bother to ask who trained or backed me in the past, nor did you speak to me to discuss my lines of thinking, knowledge of the game or live experience, so how can you pass judgement without knowing all the facts?

I didn't come on her to get flamed or to beg, I certainly do not need money. I just don't have a $20,000 roll ATM to play the stakes I know I can beat.

If I cannot raise the BR now I'll grind it up over 12 months or just wait until I have some spare change to take a shot, I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep if I don't get a backer.

As for table selection? Of course I will be selective. I know most of the regs and have no desire to play for ego's. If the games are too hard I don't play.

I can say though that at 8:30-1:00am there are plenty of Euro's I'd surely have an edge over.

you do realise that we see atleast 2-3 guy's like yourself comming on here month in month out all claiming to have super awesome soul reading abilities and seeking a backer right?

Tony,

I understand you may get 2 or 3 guys a month coming (note spelling is one "m") on here seeking backing, I thought it would be more than that, however I did not claim to have awesome soul reading abilities or anything of that nature, I did not even mention I would agree to a backing arangement with anybody unless both parties could agree to a suitable long term deal.

All I did was put myself out there, and again simply asked if anyone is interested to PM me so we can discuss in finer detail. I wouldn't expect anyone to even consider backing me without knowing who has coached/backed me previously so as they can contact these guys for a reference.

So please, if you are not interested in backing me (which obviously you are not) please stop trolling my post and move on to the next one.

Cheers mate...
