Hi Pat Good to have you back. I'd heard something about a good player being staked and wondered if it might be you. Sounds a decent deal all round. Posted by Jac35
Word travels fast haha. It's going in the right direction thus far anyway!

Completely agree, its a rough ride at times. Thanks for the support.
In my last post (granted a month ago) I detailed how I had been staked, and that all in all it was going swimmingly. Variance was a little unkind to me over around a thousand games - but I have since bounced back and I'm very happy with my recent results. All sngs since the start of the stake:
The stake agreement was to initially start with a £250 roll and play until I hit £1,000 profit (I got to keep rakeback along the way) - and we decided a 50/50 profit split. I stuck to that agreement and have sent my backer a healthy profit back. Interestingly, we had a clause in the agreement that meant that once I hit the £1,000 profit mark, me and my backer would end the agreement and I'd play on my own. However, I was entitled to £100 worth of tournament entries and we split all 'scores' 50/50. My results in tournaments the last week have been the case of so close, but so far:
- 3 way split in Rush $11 tournament (vs very difficult FT) for $225
- 3rd in the Mini-BH for £130
- 36th (odd) vs over 1100 in the $26 OMAHA Hi/Lo on FTP
and the result I'm delighted about,
- 70th/791 for a min cash in the 10-GAME $55 on FTP (extremely tough last 175 players)
[The top 100 in Mini-FTOPS are killing me, as I've been so close in the past too]
I'm really happy with how my mixed game ability has improved, so hopefully I can continue to dabble - for another that actually cares my favourite games excluding NLHE are; PLO, PLO 0/8, Triple Draw and Razz.
So this weekend, I have £100 behind me to play the Mini-FTOPs main and some other events. I'm now playing under my own roll on Sky.
I'm back in Bath, and feel really excited to meet some new people (girls). It's been a long but nonetheless productive summer, gym most days and I worked a kill me now 9-5 for real life work experience (wtf is that all about). So it feels great to be back in Bath. On a side-note, I'm meeting the ex-gf today for lunch, so that should be interesting.

Run good.
Any chance of you making an appearance at the grand final?
