Stoked about gettin Staked!

I have great news!! A couple days ago I saw a thread on 2p2 where Doug (WCGRider) was looking for some people to stake from 25nl-100nl. After reading it i saw some pretty retarded players looking to get staked (like this one dude that plays 2NL lol), so naturally I was thinking of giving it a shot! I AIM'd Doug and sent him my graphs from 50nl and 100nl, as well as other pt3 stats and we ended up working something out!

What we worked out was he's gonna stake me for playing 200NL, and we are going to be splitting profits 50/50. That's really nice and all, but I think the real benefit for me is not the fact that I'm getting staked (because honestly I actually have enough $$ to play 200nl myself), but its the fact that I get coaching and sweat sessions with Doug. I think being given the chance to learn and talk to a player like him is so valuable to anyone's poker career. I really believe he is gonna bring my game to a new level. I said it in my last post, but I really think this year is going to be my break-out year for poker... so hopefully we see some incredible things happen!

So starting this week, I will officially be playing 200NL 100% of the time! I am so pumped!

So anyways, last night I played my first session of 200nl which turned out to be a major success! I was running really hot, and ended the night with my biggest winning day of online poker so far, +1K!!! It feels so good to win that much money, because coming from the stakes that I've played a +1K profit is such a long grind, but at 200nl not so much haha... Anyways I plan on hitting the tables again tonight so stay tuned for more updates on my venture to conquer 200NL!!!
