THE INFORMATION PAGE
a lot of reading; but it's all about us, how we work & what makes this actually profitable

Section 1: infrastructure & selling points
Okie dokie then! So investment 96 is this crazy looking poker investment! Where you make a deposit; we play poker; announce session reports daily showing you the profits we've managed to make for you; the website and your account is updated for you to monitor and then compound/withdraw at your convenience. Simple!

I suspect the very first question coming to mind is -
"Why should I give you my money to play poker with when I could just play poker myself?"
The very simple answer to that is because we're better & more profitable at what we do than you are!
And if we're not (check out our results to see); then yes, you should go and play for yourself!

But as it happens; most people who play poker for themselves will lose! And they lose not because they are unlucky specifically; luck plays a very small part in poker that doesn't help or hinder anybody in the long run - but because there are professional poker players out there - some of whom work for us! - who are just better than you; more skillful at the game - and as such will just beat you in the long run.

So I think you'll agree that it would be a lot better and more profitable for you; if you had the professionals working / playing for you! And thats where i96 comes in... You provide the capital; our players do the work; take a small commission for our efforts & reward you with some amazing returns on investment for your participation!

That is the long and the short of it... There are a number of reasons why professional poker players / i96 is better than you at making a profit from online poker - and while I don't wish to get into the technicalities of playing "good poker" - I will explain some of the structural reasons why i96 is so profitable and doesn't lose in the longer term - whereas you (or most people) tend to do!

Take the following information as some tips for your own poker playing; with regards to the structure that you should build around your current game... Or read it as a list of reasons why you should join i96 and have your share of the returns on investment we're already making!

Hopefully you'll begin to get an idea that this isn't nearly as much of a "gamble" as you might think. With all the structure, skill and professionalism behind what we do. You'll see your investments are in good hands!

a) the daily 5% hedge
This is the key to i96; so very simple and a core principal of profitable poker playing. Plus it provides a handy safeguard to i96 investors meaning they'll never lose more than 5% of their invested amount in any one day!

But its as simple as breaking down your bankroll - the amount of money you have in which to gamble with (IN TOTAL)... down into a number of chunks (between 10 and 100 depending on which poker book you read!). Then you play with each of those chunks playing your "best" each time. And if/when you run into bad luck; or a better player - ie. you lose. You only lose one small chunk & not ALL your money!
- So even after one or two spells of bad luck or "bad beats" - you still have lots of spare chunks of money left which you can use to re-enter the table with; to continue playing and eventually the "luck" or statistics will even out -- allowing your playing skill to become the main factor in determining your overall profitability. (as luck will bounce you around; but at the end of the day 'everybody has the same luck'... everybody gets the same cards; just how you play them; and how you make them profitable or not)

It's really very simple; and it was introduced into the i96 design structure along my personal poker journey / education! As i was pretty good a few years ago; I was winning for like 5days in a row; but losing on the 6th. Which in itself sounds alright - win 5 days, lose 1. Should be good. But actually that 6th day; i'd lose a FORTUNE. So effectively negating the prior 5days worth of wins (and sometimes more) - making me overall unprofitable.

But with the introduction of the hedge... lets say I have $10,000 in my bankroll. Split that in 20 pieces (5% each); that gives me $500 to take play poker with "each day" / "per session". So now; we hopefully win the same 5days in a row... making however much - say double up that $500 per win... Then on the 6th day; we might lose; but we'll only lose $500.. Then we STOP. Take a break; chill out; relax - analyze the mistake; control the emotions / reset your psychological state so it doesn't impair your "good play" the next day/session and you're set to go again - again with just ONE chunk.
In this scenario... rather than winning loads then losing it all and coming out with -$10,000 at the end of the week - after losing it all on the 6th day. We win the same 5 days @ $500 each... Then on the 6th day; we lose just 1* $500 chunk.. Providing an overall $2000 profit! Much better!

The 5% hedge is something anyone can do. It doesn't make i96 unique; its just the key principal behind our profitability. And from which the rest of our frame work is based.

For you as an investor with i96... It means that you can never lose more than 5% of your investment amount in any one day. As soon as we lose one 5% amount; we stop for the entire day. (for the reasons above; to reset my emotions, analyze the mistake and think how to improve/correct where necessary). So this makes your investments very safe; as you can only lose a very small amount per day [and withdraw the remainder at any time]... Plus once the profits accumulate you'll effectively be "risk free".. Invest $1000; as soon as we increase that balance to $1056+; you're no longer risking any of your principal investment amount! Perfect!

b) table banking & intra-day banking
This is part of our daily "playing practices"... while playing poker we have our daily allowance of 5% of the total working capital. We then take that amount to the tables... Table banking & intra-day banking is a way of reducing risk & accumulating profit for our investors. It means that some loss days don't have to incur the FULL -5% loss. They might just be -3% or -1%. Perhaps even profitable overall!

So with our daily allowance; our current strategy is to take that amount to a single table (we did experiment with breaking up the daily allowance into its own small pieces - so that one loss hand wouldn't incur an entire loss day. But actually that seriously hindered profitability - as one segment might lose money; and another make it - and we'd end up even and getting nowhere. Plus was a big psychological thing - as lose one; and now having to work just to get back to break even... making a profit never seemed to happen... And we've now learned that its to use the daily hedge aggressively and as a tool for profitability; rather than defensively & hindering profitability. As defensively; we get hardly any loss days.. But profitable days are tiny! (win 10; lose 1; overall profit 1-5%). However aggressively; (win 2; lose 1; overall profitability is right up into silly numbers!) Big big difference.

Anyway, so we take the entire amount to a single table... Then play the best we can! Once that amount we enter with increases by at least 10 or 20%(depending on how we're playing it that day - the situation/other players at that particular table)... We will immediately leave the table and bank that small profit (you can increase your starting stack at a table by simply buying a few blinds; you don't need to win any major showdowns to make that... so this is just a sneaky way of "stealing" some easy money; and banking it for safekeeping... So we'll enter the table with $1000... if that goes up to $1100, $1101 say or anything above that (maybe we'll win a big hand and it'll instantly double to $2000)... whatever... We then leave the table. bank the profit and re-enter another table with just the original $1000. --- Thats table banking!

Intra-day banking works with table banking; once the table banking has accumulated a sufficient amount to warrant the posting of a return (say 1% or more on average)... we'll stop playing... update the website and your accounts with a return... And all good there... Then if we choose; we'll play some more sessions that day -- so taking 5% again of the overall investment capital to the tables; we repeat the process to earn you some more money.

So this is what gives you multiple returns on investment daily.
What it actually does for you is to continually reduce your risk throughout the day... We'll post say a 2% return or whatever... Then we'll take 5% of the overall amount back to the tables; which if we then lose that 5%... Overall for the day; you'll only have lost -3% and not -5%.

It also removes an area of judgment / doubt from our players; so they don't have to decide when to stop playing for the day... They don't get to the situation where they're 3% up, want a bit more; and end up losing everything for the sake of playing too much. They make a return; bank the profit, announce the return on the website... Then start again... take a new 5% and repeat the process as many times as they like (until they get tired and give up... OR... until a loss is incurred... Whenever a 5% loss is incurred; regardless of the overall days profit - thats all playing finished for the day! -- So on some occasions you'll see a loss posted at the end of a busy day; but you'll still be in an overall profit for that day!

c) session profitability ratio - currently in excess of 4:1
This isn't so much an element of our infrastructure; just a demonstration of our actual profitability and shows you that the hedge is working. And the daily results are overall profitable!

You'll see on the home page our results summary that shows profitable sessions and loss sessions. The ratio is calculated comparing the total sessions played to the number of unprofitable sessions. As of posting this; its in excess of 4 profitable sessions to every 1 unprofitable.

To show you how safe and profitable i96 actually is; bare in mind that as of posting; our biggest single days profit is +34.08%... Bare in mind that we can only lose a maximum of 5% in any one day as per the daily hedge. So that means its going to take in excess of 5 consecutive loss days (at the full 5% amount each; which probably won't happen due to intra day banking) to negate even this ONE single profitable day... yet we're having 4 profitable days to every 1 loss day.

The point I'm making is how "difficult" it is to lose. With profitable days having unlimited reach / scope and loss days being limited to such a small fixed figure (thats continually reduced with intra day banking)... So once your profits start adding up with i96; its very difficult / unlikely for them to start going south - and if they do - it'll be at a very slow rate - allowing you full opportunity to withdraw everything!

This really is exciting; brilliantly simple, hugely profitable and unbelievably safe!

d) Complete liquidity! - withdraw at any time
I96 maintains complete liquidity throughout; technically while we're playing liquidity drops to 95%.. but essentially its all there and ready for you to withdraw whenever you like. As soon as the days results are done; all the money is readily available and can be cashed out to you at absolutely any time!

Nothing is tied up; doesn't take forever to sell off assets to cashout your investment. Deposit today; withdraw tomorrow! Totally possible.

So as an investor - keep an eye on your account; if the results start to turn sour - whip out ALL your money whenever you like. Very simple; very safe.

d) professional poker players
The i96 structure plays a very very big part in our overall profitability. Its transformed our play from un-profitable to what we have today. Which as our results show is quite incredible... And for any poker players out there who consider themselves better than "beginner" - you should try out the above banking strategies and processes for yourself. Its all very simple and you'll see for yourself what a difference it makes to your overall profitability.

We already had one member from one of the earlier i96 concept investments comment that this simple 5% hedge does actually work; he followed it for some weeks (a month maybe) and he was making steady progress... But then he got over confident in his abilities and thought the process / daily hedge wasn't what was making him profitable - but his "great play" or whatever... So he stopped abiding by the process (making the same mistake I've made in the past!)... and within a matter of days afterwards; he had lost everything! All those previous works gains; gone in an instant & more!

Is a good story; unfortunately I've done the exact same thing myself over the past years... And they were expensive lessons to learn! But its incredible what a bit of structure can do for you. Makes all the difference.

Anyway; the point of this section - is that ON TOP of this clearly brilliant process & daily hedge - we also have some seriously experienced online poker players working for you! With your money!
I myself have been in amongst the top 10 most profitable weekly & monthly poker players at Bet365's Prima Network; I think my best was number 3 for one week... Anyway the point is - we're not amateurs; we know what we're doing. We do it full time; make a living from this - so your investments are in great hands!

Professional players + unbelievable structure & daily processes make this such an amazing opportunity.

Section 1 - Conclusion
So I'll think you'll agree; this seemingly nuts investment opportunity actually makes quite a bit of sense!

Beginning with the daily hedge capping any single loss days to an absolute maximum of 5%. We then proceed onto the table & intra-day banking that incrementally start accumulating you profits while reducing your daily risk from 5% until its reduced to nothing - and once the first 5% profit of the day has been made; we're risk free and can proceed into the huge returns - ie. the 34.08%, 18.04%, 17.40% regions that we've already achieved!
And our great players are proving their worth as the session profitability shows; in excess of 4 profitable days for every loss session.

Its so simple... Small losses; reducing as the day progresses... Profits incrementally accumulating, reducing and then removing the days' risk all together. Once the risk is removed; and even before that - we have the ability to produce some sky high returns on investment thanks the profit potentials of playing poker (compared with say the stock market; poker can double in an instant; stocks not so easy!)

In addition to our incredible structure & the profitable bias + immense security this creates; we have our professional poker players working their magic and producing some phenomenal results. And on top of those 2 aspects working to both safeguard your investment & make you as much money as possible - you are the third line of defense. With complete liquidity - allowing you to pull your cash out at ANY TIME... The instant anything begins going south; you can protect yourself and whip out all your money before any real damage is done!

Phenomenal; seems too good to be true - but we've clearly explained that its totally not. Step by step each of these things is very simple, very small and easily achievable. Together they are a force to be reckoned with!
