A Post I Made On Pocketfives

Looking for 2009 WSOP Staking

With the WSOP around the corner and all the dead money out there to be made I am interested in participating this year for the first time. However, being that I am a midstakes player and very conservative w/ my bankroll I don't feel comfortable taking shots at $1,500 to $5,000 events.

With this in mind I decided I would make myself available to be staked for WSOP events. I know there are ppl out there looking to invest but I don't know how to get in touch with them. Maybe they can find me.

Here's what I have to offer: Over the last four months I have made twenty-three final tables with twelve of them resulting in top three finishes. Here are all my 1K+ scores since December 1st (click to enlarge):

















Blue scores indicate tournaments on PokerStars, everything else is on Full Tilt Poker. I play 90% of my tournaments on Full Tilt Poker. My full results can be found on OfficialPokerRankings.com under "adamsapple19".

In addition to these MTT results I have also played over one-thousand 45-man and 90-man SNGs in the last four months with an ROI of 39%. I've even made it onto a Sharkscope leaberboard for Total Profit in 2009 (click to enlarge):





I feel like I've been a very consistent winner and have an excellent understanding of multi-table tournament strategy. I play poker for a living online (with no backers) but I'm available to play any events during the WSOP this summer.

Shipped a Tourney... FINALLY

I won the $30 1r on Full Tilt for 3.8K and man what a relief it is. I've put in so much volume over the last few weeks and have been on a nasty nasty downswing (per my last post). This doesn't get me back to good but its a hell of a great way to start turning things around.

Its always a huge load off your shoulders to ship something when you've been running like crap. Hopefully I can build on this and start making some FTs on a regular basis again.

Gl folks.

Downswing

Well I haven't posted in a while and that's because there hasn't been anything good to post about. After four months and a +50Kish run or so I've been on about a 10K downswing over the last few weeks. I've lost so many flips and 60/40s, watched so many disgusting runner runners come, run KK into AA and QQ into KK and then when I catch the AA over KK situation I watch as the K falls. Just nasty. This is something everyone always eventually goes through and this is why I'm always talking about bankroll management as being the #1 most important thing in poker. I'll get through this because I'm patient and smart about my BR and I'll be taking down tourneys again.
