Hey Ryan I had a staking question. When your just getting into the world of live staking how do you go about looking for a backer. More specifically if you've had good results at tourneys with around 250 to 300 entrants at stakes under 1000 dollars at local smaller card rooms how do you prove your a +ev investment. Also when your looking to start a relationship with a backer how would you even start the conversation. I mean I understand what to look for in a mutually beneficial agreement like a 70/30 split with stake back, but I don't really know how to find backers looking for horses and how to start the conversation. Thanks man I appreciate any info on the subject, also if there is anything else you feel I should know that would also be greatly appreciated.
Ryan,
You open a very wide range with over 50bbs in games where you don't expect to get 3-bet enough.
1. How do you determine if that will be the case? My guess is that you usually go for it and then back off if you find that you are getting 3-bet a lot, but how do you define a lot?
2. Do you also back off if you find that you are getting flatted and raised or led into post flop a lot? Again, how much is too much?
3. Say you are at a soft table and a rec opens. You have a decent hand on the BTN or CO. There are all recs behind.
Is it better to flat and play a bloated pot multiway with a bunch of recs or better to 3-bet and play a bloated pot heads up with one rec?Are you are more likely to 3-bet from the HJ or earlier in order to iso and play in position?

1. Yes, until proven guilty I assume most aren't capable of 3betting correctly or really loose.CarlosWelch said:
2. It depends, I only do so if they are playing back at me a lot.
3. Generally peel as I assume people will make large mistakes multi-way, if I 3bet might be a hand like KJo or QJo or ATo.

Hello Ryan. This is not a question. Just wanna say this is my first wsop & I look forward to finally meeting you in person at the Collussus Event. Hope we can chat & maybe ask you for some advice or questions then. Hopefully you can give me some experienced advice having played so much live. Thanks

The software is called Starshelper or StarsCaption. First one is way better as you get a lifetime license. It's not free, $35 if I'm not mistaken.Alaercio da Rocha said:

Safety play?
Hi,
I asked me if it is possible to play tournaments much safer... is there an opportunity?
I mean... I cant wait for aces or kings. Thats logical.
But especially the Start of a tournament is very hard and i am searching for advices.
Can you help me?

Tournament structure
Hello there!
I will be playing WSOP Monster Stack this year. My question may seem odd or possibly irrelevant but I think the answer will influence strategy in the early stage of the tournament. How is it that the Millionaire Maker and the Monster Stack both last five days? Each tournament has the exact same structure but the Monster Stack has twice the chips (25,000 starting vs 50,000 starting). You would think that with twice the starting stack that the Monster stack would last longer. I'm guessing more people will make it to day 4 with the Monster Stack then with the Millionaire Maker (which has 34 making it to day 4 this year)? Number of entrants will likely figure in but Im guessing number of entrants will be roughly similar. I think the strategy is to play the earlier stage, particularly on day one, more like a cash game, playing much wider and with more 3-betting in later position with the idea to chip up for day two or go bust early (aggressive but not stupid). Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Alan

Hi Ryan!
I usually play on PS 0.55$ buy in MTTs ("Boundy Builder" and "Big" Tournaments). Try to play only the premium cards like higher pairs, AK, AQ. If Im closer the button, usually play with suited cards (like 89s, etc ...) and try to steal the blinds.
I usually reach the prized seats, but cant really go deeper. My goal would be to finish in the top 10% in avarage, and not to fall out after 3-4 hours with a pice that not much bigger than the buy in was.
Do u have any advice what shoudl i do different?
Thank you! David

I am trying to switch to sit and go.
It is so strange. It is like its the bubble within about 40 min.
Any help would be great. Played 4 years.
