      I wouldn't 3 barrel here. Villains range contains too many pair w/fd combos after calling twice that will hero us here. We will probably get 44-99 to fold and some 7x hands. But thats about it imo. 44-66 will probably fold the turn some of the time aswel which makes his one pair range even stronger with his turn call.

      And for the reasons stated above I wouldn't barrel a diamond river as villain's turn call weights his one pair hands more towards pairs with a diamond that obv won't fold a diamond river.

          Table was terrible was pretty much so i was just opening everything really :/ agree with what nick says though pretty bang on analysis

                      Hi Chips, just a quick question I hope you don't mind me asking. You went from ~6k down to ~3k in MU today.

                      If you did the same tomorrow and gave your backer, say 3.5k, does that mean you would be MU free and able to leave your backer with your reputation in tact?

                          Cool, thanks for the reply. I'm fairly new to playing poker and enjoy finding out how this stuff works. So 2.9k + 1.3k is ~4.2k total. Does it matter what site you get the 4.2k or 4.3k from once it is cleared?

                          GL with tomorrow, be on your own by the weekend

                            Interesting thread, knew a lot of players were staked but never heard of markup before. Is markup a set figure that needs to be cleared, so you would need to make x amount profit before markup is cleared?
                            I see your going to be doing a bankroll challenge when its clear. Is that because you will be on a limited bankroll to start with or for other reasons. If its because of a limited bankroll would it not be beneficial to both yourself and you backer to come up with an arrangement that you continue playing when your markup is cleared so you can build a decent bankroll rather than starting from scratch. Will be much easier to build a bankroll playing the volume and games you have been playing rather than starting off from scratch.
                            Good luck

                                no it will be better to just go on my own it shouldn't take too long to build a roll, continuing to play backed there is always the possibility of getting deep in MU again

                                update for yesterday : MU = - $3383 59 games played

                                        Just reading this now, best of luck with it man.
                                        I am grinding away atm and I was going to try and get staked but I don't know if it is really such a good thing, I know there is a lot of good that comes with been staked as the coaching and all that which is probably one of the main reason's I would go with it.
                                        I'm playing on FullTilt but really could do with playing another site as well so I can get in more volume but I don't really have the roll to keep 2 sites going, i'm currently giving myself 50 buy-in's, I was considering in coming away from FT and going to maybe .fr as I will be able to get in a bigger schedule and plus the fact I don't seem to run to well on FT.
                                        Yesterday I played 20 games over 2 sessions over a 10hr period, I'd normally start about 11:30am and finish reging about 2pm and start up again about 8pm. I have increased my tables from 6 to 9tabling but there is not much more games there to do much more.
                                        Any advice?

                                                your playing too high for your current roll imo, move it to stars ad play the 2.50 180s learn push shove and build a roll from there they are the easiest games to beat online imo and its where i'll be building from when i go on my own

                                                4th in hyper AK<QJ for just under 500

                                                  So you think 50 buy-in's is not enough? How many do you think is enough, do you know what I might just do that and move to the 180's, how many buy-ins do you think would be a good cushion for them? Atm I have a roll of about 1200

                                                    50 buyins isnt enough of a roll for playing any mtts imo 200+ buyins to be super safe would be and even then id like more (ya im a nit) you have nearly 500 buyins for the 180s thats more than enough build to about 3k start adding in 3r's dont add 8's or 15's till you have 6k+ and dont switch to 3/8/15 till you have 8-10k but all through that grind add in value mtts aswell once you have 10k+ you can pick and choose between a bunch of diff mtt schedules while still grinding 180s to reduce variance

                                                    adding in games i mean like a 10-2 ratio of 2s/3rs etc or whatever feels comfortable

                                                      Is it possible to get in 9 tables at 180's though?

                                                        you can get 50 tables at them if you really wanted too

                                                                Good luck with rest of the months grind chips. Going ok so far. What kind of journal/account do you keep with your backer to make sure nothing goes astray, or do you just have x amount on your stars account and transfer him a certain amount each week or just keep him updated? Does Sharkscope differ much with your records? It can be way off when you play a lot of rebuys. The difference between my SS and my actual this month is relatively small @ $415 but i've seen it into 4 figures at times

                                                                    how much do you spend on buy-ins on an average week? thanks and gl

Contact has been made between chips and the backer and some of the funds have been recovered.Hopefully this can be cleared up quickly and I think it was a moment of madness that led to this rather than a calculated attempt to steal!

Really hope there is some misunderstanding as I really took chips advice on board and followed his log.

                                                                                                      Comment

                                                                                                              I still cant understand this. Let me see if i have this right.
                                                                                                              You have been staked for the last few years and as part of the deal you recieved coaching. Have bocome a pretty decent player and are just about to finish being staked to go it alone.
                                                                                                              But for some reason you decide to take your backers money and do a runner. your backer has all the details he needs to track you and or your family down. That about right?

                                                                                                              Not only have you damaged to your reputation on irishpokerboards and in the poker community. This will stick with you forever, you only need to google your name and you will see the threads on 2+2 and pocketfives about you stealing money.

                                                                                                              Would imagine family and or friends have been dragged into this and would have a different view of you being involved in poker in future

                                                                                                              What the hell were you thinking??

You were open and informative about poker, and while it [poker] may not be the primary reason to come on this site anymore there is still huge interest in it.

                                                                                                                        I'm glad you're handling the 'other' thing - making a mistake and then manning up and fixing it is to your credit.
