Online Poker Backers

The person putting up the money, the investor, is frequently called the “backer,” while the person competing in the poker game is frequently called the “player.” The backer, or multiple backers, provides the money to pay the entry fee into a tournament, which is played by the player. Imawhale Staking provides capital, coaching and management to online poker players worldwide. Delaware online poker. Delaware is the smallest US state with legal online poker, though a liquidity-sharing agreement with Nevada does help the numbers. Thee state’s three casinos all operate their own branded skins on a shared 888 Poker network. German poker pro Fedor Holz used to garner most of his attention online for living a globetrotter’s life and creating a captivating charity project. This past week in Barcelona, however, his name is on everyone's lips for winning a side event, the Super High Roller satellite and coming 4th in another side event. Getting accepted into a poker stable will get you the financial backing to play at higher stakes than your personal bankroll might allow. With big money on the line for your backers, many poker stables will also provide coaching from world-class players. This approach comes in an effort to give their players as much of an edge as possible.

In another article here on TopPokerSites.com, I talked about what staking is and how it’s beneficial for horses to be staked. What I didn’t mention though, is how to get started. So that’s what I’ll focus on now.

Finding a backer isn’t difficult. It will coincide with how good you are though. Obviously the better you are, the more willing someone will be to invest in you.

There are a few ways that I know of to find potential backers. One way is by word of mouth. When I was looking for coaching/staking, I asked someone who was currently being staked who their coach/backer was. They passed my name along and shortly after I had an agreement in place, a bankroll and coaching.

Another method is to join a forum such as PartTimePoker or 2+2. Here you can create a thread asking for a backer, or you can apply to other ads where backing is being offered.

A third option is to visit a training site where they offer coaching and backing. They aren’t nearly as popular as the big training sites like DC and Bluefire, but the ones I know of, like SNG Mentors, have solid coaching and they offer backing to qualified students who need it.

Creating a Staking Deal

Creating a staking deal is something you don’t want to take lightly. It’s an agreement that will dictate how many games you need to play, your bankroll, how much money you can keep if you profit, whether you will owe money if you lose it and any coaching you will receive.

Online you’ll find that there are two different kinds of agreements; one that you make privately and one that is made online publicly.

Private Staking Deals

A private staking deal is made with an individual or group of individuals. You make an agreement on a number of things like:

StakeKings

Poker staking platform StakeKings.com is one of the few areas in the poker industry that is currently booming alongside the online poker sites. While playing online poker may be a fun outlet for some, many people do not have the time to sit and play a 10-hour poker tournament, and for players in the United States there are simply not a lot of safe options. StakeKings.com solves both of those issues.

It is available worldwide (including the United States), and it allows its users to stake some of the best players in the world on poker sites such as PokerStars and partypoker for the chance to win some huge cash alongside some of the biggest names in the game!

The StakeKings platform makes it extremely simple to setup a free account and deposit funds onto StakeKings (each user has their own cashier - just like an online poker cashier) and from there users are able to use those funds to stake players who they feel have the best chance of providing them a return on their money. Although everyone would like a profitable return, many users are simply looking for the players who provide them with the most 'bang for their buck' when it comes to entertainment. StakeKings allows its users to stake any amount that they are comfortable with - from a single penny to thousands of dollars. Each stake can potentially provide users with hours of entertainment, and sometimes large amounts of cash - which is what took place on Monday!
