Best of luck.
"To be honest, I think this is a bit of a waste of your money.
You've got a really good sharkscope and it sounds like you'll just be playing the same games you already do anyway, so you're just shipping off 40% of your profits for no reason.
Granted the losses come out of their pocket, but 40% of the winnings go in their pocket too and if you're a winning player (which you clearly are from SS) then you're losing on the deal.
If you were staked more £££ and could play MTTs that you can't really afford now then it would be good (although you'd almost certainly need to play on other sites) but it sounds like you're playing the same games but just giving up 40% profit for no real gain."
Either way, GL!
The way you explained your introduction to this, it sounded like some telesales company had rung you and talked you into signing up, but I think it's more structured than this, I take it you registered your interest, were subsequently accepted and have a pretty good idea what you hope to gain from this venture?
I've the same initial thoughts as Lambert really, if you are not going to use the extra income to fund a move to the next level or levels I can't see the value to you, in doing this?
As a fellow 'sat grinder', being able to cut out 'tilty sats' and have the daily guarantee of having the funds to enter the bigger mtt's without sats sounds positive, this would also free up some time or tables for you to play other mtt's, sng's or cash rather than focusing on sats for an hour or two a night.
More of the same, but lose 40% of profit doesn't sound like the way to go, though if you can make that work for you, good luck.
I take it you are staked for play on Sky only?
Obviously you have found a way / have a game where you can make a profit on Sky, with the added cash can you now go...... wahey its not my money, I've nothing to lose I'm going to play all the top mtt's on the site and see where it takes me.
For example, I believe you are thinking only mtt's, so every nightyou could be playing:
7.30 deepstack - £22.00
8.00 Main - £33.00 (average)
8.30 Mini - £5.50
9.00 £55bh - £55.00
Total - £116.50
I take it you are still going to use some of your own funds, so add in the £5.50 and £11.00 mtt's and a few sat's, you are getting around £180 worth of buy in's for £80.00.
That's probably shocking BR management, but it depends what you want to get out of it and how long you want to stay with the staking plan.
You are already an above average player on the site, so I'd be tempted to use the added stake money to test myself and improve my game at the highest level on the site and I don't think it is a case of you needing to move through levels to get there.
Whilst you are at it don't you also get coaching and analysis support from your backers, so it could be a way to fast track your game to the next level anyway?
That, I think probably is the carefree, nothing to lose option you could chose, alternatively you stay at similar levels you are playing now, but more volume, but if you are now going to be 'losing' 40% of your profits you will need to up your volume considerably.
I'm sure you'll get much more articulated answers from people with a real understanding of the poker world and look forward to following your progress.
Again, Best of Luck!!!
Use find a player each time you start a session and register every MTT than Mattbates is in, just for the value
Good luckkkk!!!
Maximum stake is £33(not sure how this will work towards sats)
I have to play a minimum of 50 mtts per week
Sessions were my game is monitored
Sending over progress reports weekly
Cannot use any of my own funds
Also you do get alot of coaching which is a big plus for me, stuart rutter the sky poker expert off the show is a coach for them and another sky poker expert is a coach for them too(cant think of his name)
They way I look at is If i play the bigger mtts every nght i fancy myself to get a few good cashes a week which will exceed what Im making playing the smaller mtts.
I would initially be on a 1 month trail period but this could become full time if I do well which means I will receive a wage of SMTP(obv not even thinking about this atm)
I am only staked to play on sky but I have just spoken to them and I have been told i may have to move to another site because of something to do with the hand histories on sky.
Let us know how you get on even if you do move sites.
