Wow, you are stupid! I was talking about dollar for dollar return, not percentage return. $50 invested would profit you $4.32 in mine at +$130 and $4.32 in Chinas at +$2880.
You are way off base. Capital is finite, it's not like these investors have an infinite amount of money to throw around at potential horses. Secondly, there is obviously a larger investment needed when staking someone for $1000 compared to $100.
Two things to consider: risk (Standard Deviation) and return (ROI). It's all about maximizing (Return/Risk). Everything else is bullshit.
You shouldn't be the person to talk about common sense & big words.
You don't seem to have much common sense(I actually think this is part act on your part)& we all know your grasp of the English language is suspect at best although this is certainly not a requirement for posting on a forum.
People invest in me because I am a proven winner and they can possibly get a decent size ROI with a little risk. Even if they lose they get makeup and I am a proven winner over time.
People don't invest in you because you are a terrible player and your micro stats prove that. If they do invest in you it is because they don't value the dollar very much.
Thirdly even if your ROI was higher on a BAP that mine this time it proves nothing. I believe I have doubled my backers money on 3 stakes I have run and made them a good chunk of change.
Fourthly my ROI lifetime in cash games is a $100 investment into 200-300k. You are a big loser in micro stakes cash games lifetime.
The only thing you are very good at is being the worst poster on this board
China, may you please give me some background info. on the current games/stakes you are playing? I used to crush online LHE, but suddenly the games dried up and my decision making got worse and worse. (Betting $10k/game w/ Neverwin seemed like a good idea at the time.) I'd be curious to know if there is still money to be made at online LHE games. Also, you'd be foolish to think that live, LHE games are profitable in the long-run. The players would have be borderline retarded for it to be worth your time.
Again, because you and others seem to be drooling retards, this was never me proclaiming to be a better poker player. I think your cash stake was a horrible investment opportunity. I can say that if I feel like it. Calling someone out doesn't immediately imply you are better, it's simply an observation. I can say Tim Tebow is a chump, and only a retard would take that as me saying I'm a better nfl QB!

I play online 3-6 to 30-60 , there are good games if u look around
Live play is beatable if your not playing 5-10 and below
2 good friends of mine play live limit
1 guy plays 10-20 to 40-80 and is up close to 75k since september
Another played live for 45 days 30-60 40-80 and 50-100 and won 30k and then went back to online
If games are good they are profitable
jsearles you're a big ass chump and the problem with investing in you is that no one knows you and the people that do know you think you're a big ass chump. What is your track record of running stakes? How much money have you sent back back to your investors? Why should I feel safe in sending my money to you when you could just take the money and run?
Frankly a guy with an attitude like yours is just a roll waiting to happen.
I don't get the last part of this comment; why would Limit Holdem be any different than other forms of poker (or online for that matter) in terms of profit? Unless you don't have an edge on the field (or one that can't overcome the rake) how could this be? Sure the players are better on the whole nowadays, but the little $10/$20 live Limit I've played in the past year says that game is still beatable for me, and I'm rusty as hell. I'm sure a strong Limit player would still be able to find decent edges in higher games, I can't imagine every player above the $10/$20 level is playing perfectly.

The variance in LHE is higher than NLHE. Also, the edge you have over a live, LHE player is significantly smaller than the edge over a live, NLHE player. Basically, the ability for a bad player to make a mistake for all of his chips is of huge value in NLHE. There aren't enough hands/hour in a live, LHE game for it to be worth anyone's time. Unless the game is obscenely good and above 20/40. The rake will eat you alive...
:facepalm
If anyone invested in me from when I started playing full time till now if offered the same deal currently they would be ahead close to 100k. But that would have been a bad investment right?
Tommyboy who is one of the smartest stakers/poker people in the world invested 3-4k in me last BAP and doubled his money. But he made a bad investment right?
Bottom line is you are a drooling retard
SEARLES IS GOD
:this
Some people think that LHE has less variance than NL (at comparable limits), but it's not true. Aside from deepstacked "cooler" situations in NL, it's fairly easy to control your variance by playing a small-ball style. In limit it is very tough to keep variance down, especially shorthanded.
I will say that you can beat live limit below 20/40. I'm not sure where the cutoff is, but you can definitely beat 10/20 if you stick to good games. You won't win that much money at live 10/20, but you can beat it. Lower than that... well, that starts to get pretty tough.
Games 20/40 and above don't have to be "obscenely good" to be worth your time. They can be decent and still worth your time. For example, a live 60-120 game with 1 fish and 5 other good players would still be +EV to a skilled player.

Please do not respond to my posts unless you have something intelligent to say.
Ok, sorry, haven't had time to respond to this.
I did a search on then and than and come up empty, it says it is too common, which means I will have to search through all of your posts, which is a lot of fucking work. Also considering I will have to read all of your drivel I don't think $250 is enough for 25 posts. I will go with 15 posts for $250, and frankly what does the 10 extra posts mean anyway... 15 is a damn good sample size IMO. If you insist on 25 I will go for $500. So, your choice, either 15 for $250 or 25 for $500, your call, I'm the one taking most of the risk here considering you seem confident I am wrong.
Also, LOL @ 3 impartial judges... I'll give you your 3 fucking judges... THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE you mope. If you insist though, I nominate Druff, Tony B and maybe this Steve-O- guy. Fair enough?
One last thing... No editing of your posts prior to yesterday's date. If I go back and see a post from March that was just edited today, you owe me regardless if I produce the 15 or 25 errors. I doubt you would do that, but I just have to state the obv.
LOL, @ clowning on me when you don't even have a grasp on the simplest terms in the English language. You were serious, you just had some time to rethink this and realize you would most likely lose. Also, how could you win you ask? Very simple, we set a time limit... You would think a guy with your intellectual prowess would have thought that one up already. We set it for 48 hours, and if I don't produce, I lose.
Also, I would not count your misuses yesterday.
You're the one here trying to make wagers when tilted kid, don't sit here now and act like you weren't serious, anyone that reads this knows you were. So either admit that you simply are a borderline retard who doesn't know the difference between then and than, or accept the terms of the bet that you proposed to begin with.
Can I have 24 hrs to check my posts first? You have already admitted to doing so; it only seems fair!
Are we talking PFA posts only? I will take one of two wagers. The 25 for $500 or a different bet. Produce 30 such misuses in 48 hrs and I will never post again. Otherwise you ship me $500.
does this include dd and pfa?
What are you talking about with 24 hours? I haven't checked anything, I haven't even been on the internet since my post last night, up until right now. So you want 24 hours to go through your posts to see if you lose, then you cancel the bet if you do? LOL... Tell you what, let's bet on a Royals game tomorrow, I get the opposing team, but I don't want to book the bet till the game is over... OK? LOL! No 24 hours, that's ridiculous... Also, you not posting is not something I am interested in, and that definitely isn't worth the $500 to me.
I think it would be fair also to be able to go through your posts here and at DD, but at least half of the 25 have to be from here. Your 400+ posts aren't all that much considering I have to look for the use of 2 certain words, which I think you probably try to avoid using since they confuse you.
I will accept the 25 for $500.
:siren
Things just got interesting. I can't wait to see the outcome.
