staking with a difference

[tfeilding]

I'm happy staking most people on these forums for up to £10-£15 a time.

I wish Id seen this thread sooner as I wanted 20%. If you do alright here and do it again id be in. Also Id be interested to know if people would be interested in staking me in a similar style thing? Not trying to hijack the thread.

i would be very happy to stake you mate. As Dan and Matt have mentioned in another thread, maybe limit the staking per person to 5% for 24 hours with option for further % after that. this will give peeps who work the chance to take part

Thats not a bad idea actually yeah with the 5%'aments to stop people just shippign the whole thing.

The only thing that gets me is that my best results are in the 40e deepstack which is a big buyin - although I've had some good results in the 4k, 3500 and 10e donkfest. Just the midnight game that I have a terrible record in - but noone has a GOOD record in that game.

Im not sure of the blind levels but u could always give the 10pm 10e rebuy a try 7.5k gtd. 325 runners tonight 40 paid, 1st getting 1788e.
buy into, make 1 rebuy str away and 1 add-on. make it a 30e tourney.
The 9;30 deepstack has had the prize money droped to 2.5k gtd, only 48 runners tonight so a little value but not much, top 5 paid. 1k for 1st.

All money has been received now - thanks!

It'll get sent when the tourneys are completed but its going to be used to buy the cement to rebuild a house for a family whose home collapsed in a storm.

This is their old house:

I have updated the first post in the thread with finishing places and $$ earned. I will sore out the % to backers after the weekend.
ty all who staked and rfph1 who was on the rails most nights. cheers

wp Cay...please donate any $$ due to me to charity.

[cayton]

cheers mate thats very generous

[TylerStroud]

For the sake of 6e Ill also say give it to charity. Would have broken even on my stake though. Definitely would do this in the future if you wanted another bash at it and Id probably try to take 15-20% this time too. How do you feel you played / ran as far as variance goes for these five games? Do you get a sense that you played to your best and that it just wasn't your night? Or do you think that playing with backers affects your game and caused things to not go your way?

Be honest. I know for a fact that I cant play with stakers.
