February 20th - A big loss.
Monthly goal: $10.000
I am at $10.542
Change: -$5.059
Bummer. The deck hit me hard yesterday. I surely could have prevented some of the loss if I played better, but the way the cards were falling I was looking at a big loss nevertheless.
A5o on the Button: This is my last hand of the session and the one that made me decide to quit for the night.
I just need to put yesterday behind me and shape up for this coming weekend.

That's one weird call, tilt or read that made you do it?
Mostly tilt.
I thought about a hand that played kind of the same way.
I had just lost a buy-in and some opponent check/raises me on the flop and makes me fold my top pair of Kings on the turn. He shows a complete bluff and the hand kind of stuck in my mind.
So I hoped to see a bluff or a semi-bluff here. I should have just folded on the flop.
Have you ever thought about making a "company". Anyone can put money in it. The company then pays you e.g. 10% of the profit - and then you can play for your own and other peoples money. Is this done anywhere else?
I don't know. Taking staking a bit further.
I heard that the guy playing in High Stakes poker, Brian Townsend got staked by multiple people.
Brian Townsend has been winning ALOT online lately. So I doubt that he'll need to be staked for the HSP.

yeah Brian got staked by a few people for HSP from what i heard it was simply to diversify the risk i think Riparian and Irock both fronted some of the money but i'm not sure how many people split the bankroll for that venture
I am definately willing to stake some money - if the rules are clear and there is no doubt about what is happening. I am also willing to you get some extra % for the work you are doing...
You guys got to be kidding me! Why would anyone want to be staked, when they already have the roll?!
Would you not prefer to earn 100% of your work rather than for example 50%?
LOL!?
Maybe to minimize the risk. If he gets e.g. a roll of $40.000 and this roll pays him a salary of e.g. $6.000 a month. Then he can have a secure wage - and keep doing what he likes. He can in addion put some of his money in, and then make an extra profit on that...
Thanks for the offer but I am not planning on getting staked.
I don't think getting staked is something to laugh about though. I don't have the kind of money to play in the WSOP circuit.
If I were good at live tournament play I would definitely consider getting staked.
