I have finally taken the move to take poker seriously seeing the $$$ and through TPE discovering fairly quickly some insane leaks in my game.

The information I am looking for is what does it generally take to get your first backing deal?

I am looking for something with coaching alongside the deal to help progress my game further ( this appeals to me more than the bankroll help)

The reason I ask the above is purely because until now I have sucked at poker and it was purely entertainment. I can now see some solid results yet if I approach one of the larger stables I know that I wouldnt be considered purely on historic data.

Are there any guidelines to what my stats in terms of ROI% and number of games played, would need to be before being considered.

thanks in advance
