Hi guys, i would lile to hear some thoughts about been backed to play. Recently i was offered a deal that takes 75% of my profit but on the other hand they will give weekly coaches and skype forums with good players etc. Do u guys think its worth? The deal gets better as my winnings increase but the top is when i take 40% of the profit. Thanks

What stakes are you playing now?

 

What stakes would you be able to play under this backing deal?

75% seems really high, even with coaching. How much coaching are you going to receive in this deal? What is your expected volume also?

 

If your expected top share is 40% you can definitely find a better deal but it really depends on what games you would be staked at and what games you are currently beating/rolled for.

 

Consider joining the TPE skype group, it has been a bit inactive of late however there used to be really insightful discussions going on.

Thanks for the answers guys. I would start playing micro stakes and start to move up as my profit increase. The coachs are weekly and they provide a special account in a famous poker forum in Brazil for discussions. I have to play 100 mtts or 200 sng weekly. It seems like a good opportunity to me since i had to cashout all my BR recently. So im really inclined to accept the deal.
Ps: how can i join the skype group?
Thanks

Give Bennymacca an add on skype and he can add you to it. If not, add Kalculater and i can.

 

If you have no BR then consider accepting the deal, even until you have built a roll to play on your own terms at the micros and build from there.
