Ok similar to what I did at EPO last year where I came 29th of 300 and odd when aces were busted depp on day 2, I am going to see if I can sell 50% of myself for the Irish Open over Easter, and if I can then I will play this event, which will probably the only chance I get this year to play a major event.

Buy in is 3500EUR and my costs of flights / taxis / hotel etc are probably 400-500EUR.

Hence looking to sell 50% at 2000EUR. Willing to break this down to 2.5% chunks at 100EUR. Leave a comment or mail me if want to buy a %, I wont ask for any monies yet as want to see if I am going to be able to sell or not first.


SALES PITCH

Live events - to be honest in the UK I have had little success, I think 3 day 2s and 2 day 1 exits in GUKPT all out the cash. I recently cashed for 1400 in the pokerstars 500 event at Manchester. Abroad I have made 3 final tables from 7 events at the Carribean poker events including final tabling the main event in 7th.

Online events - I have had a lot of success in multis over the years especially on Sunday nights. I won the Betfair Sunday night tourney 4 times in 18 months (500$ buy in) and have also won the 100K on stars. In addition i have qualified for a lot of live events such as wsop, macau , WSOPE , carribean by winning multis.

bit of a chancer charging travel expenses and hotels.


its not uncommon for good players to charge 20% markup soap is charging way less than this. he just phrased it a bit wrong.

goodluck mate if funds werent so tight id be right onboard
Report Online Donk March 7, 2010 1:26 PM GMT
I'd rather pay markup for flights/hotel/expenses over markup for 'ability'

20% markup is just LOL and it makes me laugh when you see all the 2+2ers queuing up to pay it in them staking threads. I don't care how good a player you are 20% markup in one or even a whole set of mtt's is funny.

Fair play to them selling at those rates though if you can get it, they must be laughing at all the mugs willing to pay it.
Report LL March 7, 2010 1:47 PM GMT
If you have won all these tournies why do you need to sell 50%?
Are u strapped for cash or is it just to spread the risk?
What is the payout structure at this event?
Report Soap March 7, 2010 1:51 PM GMT
its above my usual buy ins hence it is bankroll management. What I have done with cash from previous tournaments is my business.
Report LL March 7, 2010 2:42 PM GMT
Dont care about what u done with your money, was not asking that.

Report Soap March 7, 2010 3:59 PM GMT
depends on number of runners, usually 10-15% of field paid.

having not gone a few years ago and having a mate winning the thing (obviously if been there a % may have been swapped) there is no way im gonna miss out again.

this is the one event i will always buy pieces in from any player i reckon has a shot- there is a lot of dead money in it.

had some real fun times at that event and always been a favourite of mine so gl mate let me know your definately going and where to send money to etc.

OK 2 BRUCIE BONUSES FOR BACKERS.

1) I jsut qualified via a sat on PaddyPower so no longer want anything for expenses, hence your fee is just the % of the buy in which is 3500EUT (3200+300).

2) I think the package i just won qualifes me for the sole survivor paddy power package where the qualifyer that go's the deepese gets 100KEUR (part casg / part sponmsorship). While it is very unlikely i would win this, you all get 1000EUR each if i did.

Good Karma I hope, but really appreciated selling out within 24 hrs.
