1  Economy / Speculation / Fast drop to 800 on: December 16, 2013, 06:17:59 PM
Anyone know exactly why bitcoin is falling again?  Not that it bothers me too much, just wondering what's happening in the markets to get people scared enough to start selling this much?
2  Other / Meta / FISHING ATTEMPT (DO NOT CLICK LINK IN MY POST) Mod Plz? on: December 03, 2013, 02:54:58 PM
Hello, since I don't know exactly how to report any private messages, I'm making a thread on a fishing attempt by a user of the forums:

Here is a personal message I got from JarlMezentius:

Code:
Hi I saw a thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276623.0
  about giving 0.002 btc (2$) just to get your signature
Do you know if it is real or it is just scam ?

Now, it might not seem suspicious, BUT the link doesn't route you to bitcointalk.org, it takes me to:  http://bitcointalk.yzi.me/indexphp%3Ftopic%3D276623.0/index.html <------ DO NOT GO HERE

As can be seen, it's a fishing site.

His username profile is:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=146923  



Hope this helps, and if someone can tell me an easier way to report this, thanks.

3  Economy / Services / Looking to get staked on high stakes tournaments on Seals With Clubs (poker) on: November 25, 2013, 09:00:47 AM
Hello,

Looking for someone who wishes to pay for my entree free in any of the higher stakes tournaments on Seals With Clubs.  The buy ins that I'm looking to get staked at are the following:

0.500 BTC entry cost
0.200 BTC entry cost
0.150 BTC entry cost
0.125 BTC entry cost
0.121 BTC entry cost
0.105 BTC entry cost
0.100 BTC entry cost
0.075 BTC entry cost
0.065 BTC entry cost
0.040 BTC entry cost
0.035 BTC entry cost
0.025 BTC entry cost
0.020 BTC entry cost


Cheaper tournaments than the ones listed, I feel comfortable paying for myself (I never risk more than 1% of my bankroll on tournament inscription).

As can be seen, there is a level suitable for almost anyone.  Now, for some stats about myself:

I am a winning poker player, on pokerstars I have average approximately 9bb/100 at NL25.  
I have currently started playing on sealswithclubs.eu and am at an average of 336bb/100 (not a true value, sample size too small), but none the less a very impressive heater (good run).
I find the player level at sealswithclubs.eu to be far inferior to that of players on pokerstars.com, and believe that I have a very large edge over the majority of the players.


Below is a screenshot of my cashier on sealswithclubs.com showing 2 days of playing (total of about 5 hours).  I made 12 buy ins of profit playing 20 chip buy ins (0.02 BTC per by in) for a total of approximately 0.24 BTC.




Ideally I am looking to get staked on tournaments that have a cost of 0.040 BTC and higher.  But for now, I will accept staking for lower cost tournaments to build a reputation.


My cut is 20% of winnings (total won minus buy in cost), and 80% of winnings go to the person who financed the buy in, plus the buy in.  
so if the cost for the buy in was 0.50 BTC, I came in 15th place and won 0.95 BTC, the person who staked me wins 0.50 BTC + 0.8*(0.95-0.50) = 0.86 BTC.  My cut would be 0.86 - 0.95 = 0.09 BTC
on the other hand, if the buy in was 0.50 BTC, and I came in 1st place and won 14 BTC, the person who staked me wins 0.50 + 0.8*(14-0.5) = 11.3 BTC.  My cut would be 11.3 - 14 = 2.7 BTC

In this format of 20:80 of staking, I have no risk, all the risk is on the person paying for the tournament.  If I don't place in the tournament, the buy in is lost and I owe nothing to the investor.


Keep in mind, in these tournaments, only about 15% of the players make it into the money.  So if I was to get into the money once out of every 4 tournaments, this is a good winrate (25%).

Sorry if this was posted somewhere else.  Can anyone explain exactly what activity means?   I can't quite find it anywhere on the forums.

Thanks,
Mat.
5  Economy / Services / Will do any photoshop work on: November 21, 2013, 08:03:50 AM
NEXT PERSON TO ASK WILL ONLY BE CHARGED BTC 0.01 (since I'm getting no clients)!


Hello Bitcointalk Community,

I am offering a photo editing service.

I will do any sort of photo editing that you need.  Do you want a photo of yourself kissing a famous person?  Do you have highschool pictures with bad acne, and want them redone with you showing clear skin?  Do you want somebody removed from a photo?  Anything that needs to be done, no matter how big or small, I should be able to do (won't accept a job where I believe I can't produce a high quality result).

PM me or respond here for information on prices.  Prices are negotiable and will depend on the size of the job.



Here is a sample of the last job/jobs I've done:


1.  Removed person from photograph and reconstructed window frame/wall.  Whole photo isn't shown for privacy reasons.
 
6  Economy / Services / Offering coaching for online poker for beating NL25 Hold'em and lower on: November 21, 2013, 07:56:23 AM
Only have 1 client, looking for more! Cost per hour negotiable.(paid in BTC)



About my experience:  I have played poker for a number of years as a hobby, and still do.  I take all my hobbies quite seriously and have done much study on the game of no limit holdem.  I consistently beat the lower stakes (NL25 and under) at an average rate of 9bb/100 (9 big blinds per 100 hands).

About the service:  I offer coaching via skype to get your game to a point where you can consistently make money at these stakes.  The coaching will usually be in the format of me going over hands you have played, discussing the reasons behind the plays, and working on the leaks you may have.  I do not look to teach you "my way" of playing, unless you are a complete beginner.  Instead, I believe there are many approaches to beating the game, and look to improve your personal style of play to a point where it can be profitable.  If the client chooses so, instead of working on his past hands and finding his leaks/errors, we can also work on strict poker theory instead.  Common issues like learning proper pot odds, implied odds, ICM, hand selection, knowing your opponent's range, etc. can all be covered.

I have also recently done coaching over teamviewer (basically I watch you playing online poker live, and give live commenting/coaching on your play).


I can coach for MTT's (multi table tournaments), Cash games, and Heads Up play.



Price is currently negotiable.  I am quite interested to see if there is a market for this.

Pm me or reply here.  

Positive reviews:

Quote from: bracek
I just had a 2 hour session,
this guy is legit Smiley

we did a ghosting type of coaching, on my demand,
basically, I played through my account, with him commenting my moves or suggesting some if I got stuck,
I have played maybe even 100k hands of micro stakes, and still I was amazed how much I was missing...
explanations of post flop moves were just the thing I need

if you are thinking about it, you really should do it,
it is beneficial to have a real time reasoning of a good player,

this will tweak your game for sure, don't be cheap to yourself,
after this first session, I decided to go for at least another 4 like this one.


As posted on the last post, here's results of 2 days of gaming (I'd estimate a total of 5 hours of play):



That's 12 buy ins of profit (was playing 0.02BTC buy ins).    1000 chips = 1BTC
7  Economy / Services / Will analyze your game (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or MMA) via video. on: November 21, 2013, 07:46:16 AM
A little about myself:  I've trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 7 years.  I am a purple belt (have been one for the last 3 years).  I have competed many times and have a good competition track record.

About the service:  The service I am offering is that I will analyze your technique (footage of competition, training, anything you like basically) and give advice on what you need to work on, what mistakes you need to fix, or any doubts you may have.  Payment will vary depending on length of video, if you wish for me to make a video giving more details and explaining it visually, etc.

For anyone training MMA, I only have 1 year of boxing, so any advice I could give would be grappling based. 

I know there is probably no market for it, but hey, I think it's an interesting idea.  Just another service for bitcoins Cheesy

Reply here, or PM me.
