Not to try and be a nice guy and a bad guy all in one but you said your poker forum was making thousands per month.....you're selling another site which is at $3,000 now....

Looks like you have plenty of bankroll to me.

Hi Crix,

Fair question. The best place I got was second. I made other final table apperances, but never placed 1st. I've played a lot of SnG's, and a couple of months ago recorded my ROI of my $30 SnG's, which after a sample of around 115 of them, I had a 22% ROI. It was around 30% ROI at 90 games, but then I started to do poorly.

Anyhow, I'm pretty confident of my shortgame ability.. I thoroughly enjoy SnG's and tournaments to ring.

Absolutely. However I did mention I am in the midst of moving out on my own for the first time. I could use that money I'm selling off one of my websites for a bankroll, but then I'd have to delay moving out. I'm sure you understand this [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

LOL

I've played like 250 SNGs in the last week, you sample size is laughable.

BTW, I lost that tournament AA vs KK all-in preflop :P

post this hand history for this tourney and i will consider staking you.

this would prove your integrity.

if you can't post the HH, then your integrity will be in question and that's not good for someone looking for a backer.

I'm sure there have been people who have played 1000 SnG's within that timeframe... I do not understand the point of your post...

get a job you bum. nobody comes onto this forum to hear from 15 year olds who lose all their money playing poker and want more. nobody in their right might would ever stake you. especially given what you said about SNGs.

Your ROI is meaningless, doesn't prove anything.
