Shares
I'm selling shares for the daily 9:10pm $150+12 on pokerstars. I will register for the tourney when all shares are sold. That is 16 shares total. I will cover the two dollars difference. Funds to be shipped either when shares are purchased or when all shares are commited at buyer's discretion.

Split is 50/50 with stakeback

Credentials
Up over $1k on SnG's as verified by sharkscope. I have won 5 satelittes in the last month or so(all cashed out for T$ or sold). This can be verified on tournament reporter since pokerdb doesnt track satellites. Satellites won in the last month or so are as follows: $535 to the sunday million, $215 to the sunday million, $370 to the WSOP 150 main event seats guaranteed satellite, $215 to the wccop rebuy event, another $215 to the sunday million. I am ranked in the top 2.5% of all online players by tournament reporter. Please note I have played few online mtt's until very recently and I have focused on satellites because I can usually dominate them. Thus you will find few stats on me at thepokerdb. Check tournamentreporter.com for best info on my mtt game.
Prior to recently turning my attention to MTT's. I spent from the middle of last year until about 3 months ago focused on developing my cash stud game, starting from a $200 bankroll I moved from 2/4 to 3/6 to 5/10 and then to 10/20 making and cashing out almost $6,000 in the process.

Moneymaker Million
Most importantly in terms of credentials, I have qualified for the live final of the Moneymaker Million in the Bahamas. I beat out a field or almost 8,000 players in round one(top 50 get round 2 seats), then 1,000 in round 2(top 240 get round 3 seats), then 500 in round 3(top 5 get seats in final) to get to the final.

Playing style
My style of play is very unorthodox. What most would term loose aggressive, although I adapt to the table I am on. In terms of name players it is similar to an Ivey or Negreanu type of style. I offer this description so that those who buy shares understand that my style of play focuses on building a big stack early rather than playing the traditional tight aggressive style. This means great finishes or early busts. Staked players will over the long run lose their backers money if their style of play puts them in a position where they are just barely in the money most of the time. One final table will easily pay for a couple early busts. This is why my style is +ev for backers.

Why take backers?
If a player has a consistently winning style and a reasonable bankroll then why take backers? In my case this is a move up a level for me to a larger buy-in. I have played in tourneys with players who consistently play at these levels(gank, johnnybax, etc.) and I know from that experience that I can hang with them. Secondly, when I take cash out of my bankroll I never put it back in. Therefore my bankroll isn't that large. I also have moved money to a staking fund I have set up with a few other players that we will use to stake solid up and coming players here at neverbeg.

Questions?
I'm pretty sure I have been very thorough, but if there are any questions I am happy to answer them on this thread or by pm. For moderators: Yes, I sent the $5 to neverbeg to post here.
