I'm gong to be ctb with partial hanging tonight or tomorrow. I'm going to be using my closet poll and a tie. I did a slip knot. I'm about 130lbs so I hope this holds up, I tried pressing down hard and seem fine. Lease confirm noose slip knot part and the tie at the pole is accurate. I've never made a knot before. Could you look at my set up and confirm this will be successful. What are the steps to take once you put your head in, to make sure this is successful.

TL;DR It might work if you're 'lucky', but there are potential problems with this setup.

"I'm gong to be ctb with partial hanging tonight or tomorrow" – this is alarming. Perhaps don't do it, or if you're determined, at least give yourself some time to plan it and do it right.

The Noose Knot can be unreliable on its own and can slip. A stopper knot is required on the tail end to make it secure (tutorials: Noose Knot, and Arbor Knot)

I don't know what knot you used on the bar, but the length of the tail is too short. There should always be at least a 10-15 cm tail left after any knot, otherwise there's a risk it comes undone. Possibly add a stopper knot here too for extra security.

It's impossible to tell from the picture whether that bar is strong enough. You might want to move the anchor point to one side. If it's in the middle, there is a higher risk it snaps in half. But then again, what holds the bar isn't visible, and that can be a weak point as well.

The overall height of the setup seems way too low for doing it in an optimal position. Regarding positions in partial, you could check these comments:

Yeah I tried it 3 different ways and was unsuccessful. It would have to be done in my room as I have roommates. If the closet won't work what will be the best way to do this so I hopefully pass out quickly.

That depends on what you have available in your room, and how much effort you're willing to put in this. The question is too broad, so I cannot give you a good answer. There is no standard or best way. You could start by going through the issues I pointed out in my previous comment and thinking about ways to correct them.

In general, the key factors are:
  • anchor point has to be high enough to do it in a safe position (see the links in my previous comment for details)
  • anchor point has to be strong enough
  • rope has to be strong enough (best to get a rope instead of using other materials)
  • knots have to be secure
  • noose has to be self-tightening and secure

My current set up. The bar is about 5ft2 from.the ground and I'm around 5ft1. Using a neck tie with a slipknot on both ends. I tried hanging on the bar and the knot didn't come loose nor did it seem the bar would break. Does the bar and rope need to be higher?. Here is a couple pics of my room
Actually would a pull up bar installed at closet entrance suffice? If so what would the best ligature be?

If you tested the bar and you're confident it's strong enough, then that's the answer.

Regarding the height of the bar, then it seems like it's high enough for doing partial in a decent position.

I don't have much else to add.

if you have a belt then you can make a stopper knot and lay it over the door, i think thats way more secure
