Yeah, am looking to get backed for mid-stakes games a have looked at a few questions most backers ask for and have answered them below:

 

All your screennames across the sites:
Pokerstars = Peanut172
Full Tilt = Peanut172
these are the two i currently put volume in but if i was backed i would be looking to play across other sites such as titan, UB and Party
– References:
My main reference is Proudflop he is an high stakes sng grinder who also plays some HSMTTs but just mainly on sundays. He is just become supernova elite on pokerstars so we will be heading to PCA if you would like to meet up in person. We were also down in London for EPT. While down in London we met sikn' social, heistercamp, dahussstla to name a few, i have done a couple transfers with dahussstla over the last month. I dont think it is much of a reference but we still talk on facebook seeing how each other have done and we will meet up again at other live events such as the PCA. Other reference is Besty08.
– a brief summary of my poker career so far.
I made my first deposit at age of 18 and really just played SnGs being a break even player not really taking it seriously making a few withdrawls and few more deposits. It wasnt until i broke my leg 5 and a half months ago that a really started taking poker more seriously since then i was playing 6 max turbo sngs as proudfloop and besty08 could help me out with different spots but a wasnt improving much and was only making $1.3 an sng so i played a couple of MTTs blinked a 4k score in the $16.50 turbo 30k guara on pokerstars and since then really looked into playing MTTs and trying to grind it out since then i have had quite a few final tables or final table bubbles. I have had 1 5 figure score coming in the $11rebuy for $11.5k, had an outright win in the $22rebuy for $4.7k. I have only been playing MTTS serious though for about 2 and a half months now and have had a HH review from Wein, video is uploaded on the website.
– Sharkscope stats for sechdual only from last 4 months.

Pokerstars – Games played = 909 – AVE Profit = $12 – AVE stake = $26 – ROI = 52% – Profit = $10955

Full Tilt – Games played =  213 – AV. Profit = -6% – AV. stake = $26 – ROI = -2% – Profit = -$1252

– what my main games are and what I would like to be staked for.
My main games are:
– FOs ranging from $11-$109 – Cubed between $5-$55 – Rebuys between $3-$22 i have played up to $55 but only on sundays just for value reasons
I would liked to be staked for games:
-FOs $22-$109 -Cubed $11-$33 -Rebuys $5-$22
How much volume you will be able to put in on a monthly basis (please don't exaggerate because I will check up on this) and how many tables you usually play at a time:
Over the last 3 months and have averaged 365 games a month but i think that can go up to as much as 600 games a month as i have had a few problems with my leg and family over the past few weeks but i did play in the mid-stakes november team competition on Pocketfives.co.uk a few weeks ago for team europe and i am planning to play the low-mid stakes team competition over the next two weeks.
I can play up to as many as 14 tables at once before i start making mistakes that are out of character i still think a need a lot of work on my game when i do get up to 14 tables but a still think i am very capable.
what kind of % split do you think you would be fair?
I think a 50-50 deal would be fair
how old are you and what kind of commitments (job, study etc) do you have?
I'm 21 years old, and i dont have any commitments, i dont have a job or study. I currently have a broken leg, well its sort of healed now so all of my intentions are going towards poker and improving my game and trying to put as much volume in as possible.
anything else that might be relevant
Yeah i think you should know some of the reasons i want to become backed, one main reason is so i can move out of my parents house into one with my friends whom also play poker, Proudflop, who i mentioned before and Besty08 they are both SNG grinders. I think me being in this environment would be very benificial for me as i would be talking about poker all day everyday. Other reasons are:
– to be more financially sound
– to improve my game by getting coached

– to meet more people within the game
– to have better oppertunities to play higher games as my game improves
