Default Tournament player looking to be staked

Hey all,

I don't know if you know me.. but I'm KiD[ReD] from PokerStars. I'm looking for somebody to stake me in tournaments, for a 70% return on all winnings.

I'm not looking to be staked in ring games, as I am a much better tournament player than I am in ring.

Now - why am I looking to be staked, and not pay the tournaments myself? I'm sure you guys already know the benefits of both staking and being staked. I'm also about to move out right now so keeping money is important at this stage for me. Also, I currently play $10-$50 tournaments, but it would be nice to play more $50 regularly, and perhaps some $100's+ (The first $100 I played in a couple of weeks ago I bubbled the final table).

As for accomplishments, I don't play a wild number of tournaments, so my tournament accomplishment range may not seem tremendous. I play maybe 15-20 a month on average. It depends if I'm heavily into poker during that time or not. However, if staked, I'd definitely be up to playing a lot more.

As for reputation, I commonly see the same people at the late tournaments of the stages, and maybe they will recognize me.. people like BCinNY (who always happens to be on my table in tournaments.. lol), CarribbeanKid, spankmenow, tekk, etc.

I also own and run the popular PokerForums.org

Here are some screenshots of some placements:

I'm looking for a reasonable amount of stake money - enough to give me a chance to show my worth, and allow me to play tournaments on a more regular basis... thus anyone wanting to stake me for just a couple hundred dollars, for example, is really not what I'm looking for.

Any questions, please ask.

KiD[ReD]

Two spams for the price of one, that's impressive.

I am totally against spamming, but I personally don't find a post such as this as spam. I am not spamming out referral links or sites - I am just interested in playing in more tournaments.

Cheers

Yeah, strange screenshot I know - but it shows that I am interested and not afraid to play in higher tournaments. BTW, I lost that tournament AA vs KK all-in preflop :P

30% fee pretty much to support a player that most of us are probably in the same league as most of us. UHHHH...NO

I realize you didn't come here to be critiqued, but is your shorthanded play up to scratch? Whilst you have done very well in the examples you posted, you haven't shown us that you've ever won a tournament. You seem to get very close to the big money and then crap out.

Just my 2 cents.
