"bankroll booster" staking request
hi_am_chris:
Great post as usual Leigh.
I"ll have a think about everything whilst I"m at work and post when I get back. I"m still interested in doing it but your right that maybe I shouldn"t be lazy and just manage my money accross different sites better
hi_am_chris:
Cheers everyone for the interest, still a possibility ive just got to sort out the finer details. I"ve just had a look around all the different sites and tbh pretty dissapointed with a lot of them for tournaments. Basically i can log on in, in a nighttime between 6 and 7 and then probably start my last tourny at around 9 (pushing it a little). Really dissapointed with the tournys i looked at on Lock Poker and on Merge (Carbon). Can"t really see any point in putting money on either site. Same goes for Ladbrokes unless someone can tell me different. This leaves Pokerstars, Full Tilt , 888, Ipoker, Apat and Party to deposit on.
Can someone tell me where the ongame network has gone? if there is still any traffic on it? Whats the flagship site for them now?
I guess my main reasons for possibly asking for staking is that i have only been back at work since the middle of January and money might be a little tight for the next two months especially with hotel and tournys to pay for at the end of March :D
What i would add is that it would just be for an initial two months and then i (and the stakers) would reasess at the end of it. People might want to invest in a longer term deal than that so i would like to make that clear at the start.
I guess a big part of it would be that with a little outside interest it might be a kick up the backside to really put in some volume and try and get some results.

Im cool with a couple of months if that helps?
And yes ongame is still about somewhere!
hi_am_chris:
Yeah cheers, i just think its fair for people to know now that it wouldn"t nessessarily be an ongoing thing. I guess it works both ways because it might not work out for the staker too.
Managed to find ongame but volume/traffic looks well down to what it was a year or so ago. All their major clients seem to have moved, BWIN joined with party, coral is ipoker as is gala poker i think.
Pilf:
Hi Chris,
I"m glad to see you"ve pretty much completely ignored all of my advice regarding this staking!
It"s probably for the best as only you know what is suitable to your needs.
That said and considering the "traffic issues" that you"ve encountered, how about increasing the stakers share to around 40% as I suggested and increasing the total roll to around $1000-$1200 leaving you a similar amount to find whilst increasing your playing options by opening up the possibity of playing the odd $8 and $10 tourny and the micro rebuys (which I assume would be outside your plan otherwise?).
This to me makes more sense.
Apologies for putting this in the public domain but I thought if others agreed you might be persuaded! Stick me down for 10% when you decide to do this!
