So a quick recap, I was awarded a $55 round two stake on PTP. The instructions are to play 100 games at the 1.10 45 man's, 2.20 90 man and mtt's at 2.20 and lower. After 49 games I was up roughly $50 in profit.

Last night I went over the 50 game mark and game #50 was the 2.20 5k guarantee that started at 10:00 PM CST. There were 2,573 runners and I played until 5:30 am CST. I entered the FT 5 of 9 but quickly took first when my AK held over AQ. From that point on I steamrolled the competition and took it down for $815.02.

I'm really excited about my game of late. My stats look great and I'm making a lot more good decisions than poor ones. So why am I making this blog? My backer is quite pleased and wants to close out the current stake and move on to round 3. Round 3 would consist of a a stake of $110 and the games would be at the 2.20 and 4.40 levels, his % stays the same @ 55%. I feel good about the stake and I'm thinking about accepting but someone else now wants a piece.

I made a friend when playing at AP and we keep in touch all the time on IM. We watch each others play and discuss hands. Nothing fishy. He is a bit older and wants to invest some. He wants to start off with a smallish $55 stake on AP with the possibility of more. However, he only wants 40%. Obviously, this is much better for me and I also wouldn't have to pay PTP their rake. I'm just not sure about playing at AP again, as my # on stars are far superior. Plus building a solid rep on PTP is a smart long term decision. Any Advice?
