Looking at being backed for the first time? Apply in the “Find A Horse” Section!

Hello all you Poker grinders. Are you looking for a way to step out of the low limits and try moving up to the next level? The best way to do this is to use the “Find a Horse” section at IStakeU.com and apply for a stake.

My first taste of being staked was on a private stake where I was given $200. I made a slight profit and was able to gain the confidence of my first backer. I then requested a $500 stake in which multiple people invested in. I tripled this bankroll and insured myself a good backer following for future requests. After the $500 request I was able to get $1240 very easily and now receive $4000 each month to play all my MTTS and SNG’s that are over $55 buy ins. As you can see, in one year I went from being staked for $10 and below to now am getting staked for all my action $55 and above.

Sometimes the backer will ask you to make up your own plan and he will choose the player with the best plan. I would suggest putting together a solid profitable plan to insure you make a good first impression for the backer.

Good luck in your staking adventures!
