Hey guys,
Welcome to my cash thread, i'm gonna be playing 10nl FR cash games and keeping track of my progress here for all to see. There is though, something that makes this particular thread standout from the crowd on this forum, and thats the fact that i'm being staked by a group of players from here, i'm not even sure who the whole crowd is (theres 19/20 backers) but the people I have had correspondence with are tenbob, jagsti and the former marginal
I also know that WV is involved.
I was given the choice to leave this info out but I thought i'd include it to show everyone what kind of place this is, with TPC's recent startup offer and now this, its clear that CC is the best forum in the whole of the interwebs. I'm super excited about this, and i can't wait to get started, alas though, i have a family to look after and spend time with so most of my playing is going to be at night, including weekends, so my first session as a backed player will take place tonight, unless the wife takes the kids out for a bit later on!
Bit of info about me, being playing for a little while now, started off at FR and done fairly well, grinded up from 2nl - 10nl within touching distance of 25nl, and then life happened, I went on a tour of afghanistan, got married, had a gorgeous baby girl (soon to be my avatar), left the army, found a job on civi street and settled into life at home........ all in the space of 1.5 years! With all of that going on, understandably poker suffered, I was still playing, but not very well, and not very focused , switching around games etc.
This year though, after a brief (8k hands) omaha stint, i'm settled.... IRL and in poker, i've been grinding 2nl and doing well, had 2 failed shots at 5nl in the past week but I was nearing a 3rd shot ($85 in my roll yesterday, back from $40 when i left PLO) when i got a pm offering something i could never had refused.
I have entered into a 3month contract to play 25k hands per month min, had $100 put into my FT account and withdrew everything that I had on there, I'll be playing 10nl, with another $100 going in if needs be (hopefully not). Any profit over what I have been staked at the time, inc RB, gets split 50/50, if I drop below what I have been given then i'm just playing to make up the money back to the stake level, i.e. next week I win $100 inc RB, my balance is at $200, those profits gets split 50/50, if I lose $30 and the balance is at $70 then i'm just playing to make that $30 back. If i do well then there is a chance to be rolled for higher limits but thats in the future so I wont think too much about that now.
I feel like this is a great opportunity for me to one day be playing limits that i've only dreamed of playing at so far, seems daft but ive never played above 10nl so me making enough money to have a roll for 50nl out of this would be amazing for me. Like I said, cant wait to get started on this, and i'm v.grateful for the confidence shown in me to give me a shot at this, stay tuned!!!
