OK blatant steal of George's steal of Kinboshi's proposal for DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) £300, which he stole from Celtic :D

I had a shot at online qualification tonight but fell just short finishing 6/46 with 3 seats and some dosh for 4th.  I'd still love to play though, so thought I'd take a stab here, although I know it's a long shot.  Anyway, there follows some more blatant plagiarism:

The Tournament

Brighton GUKPT £1000+60 main event on 15th-18th January 2009 (3 day event).

10,000 Chips, 1 hour clock

The Proposal

I'm asking for a 100% stake for 70% equity. 

In other words, I'm asking for £1060 (in 5% chunks) and in return stakers will get their share of 70% of any prize money I manage to win with stake returned first. Any additional prizes on top (grand final seat, champion of champions etc) will also be included so you'd get the same share in any subsequent tourneys.

Track Record

No track record at this level, but my recent live form has been good with two cashes at the recent Xmas Cracker festival in Luton (1st in the £150 and 9th in the £100) and a total of £6,500 prize money from 6 cashes in 9 £75-£150 buy in comps played over November and December.  Also finished just outside the money (17/148) in the new years day £200 D/C Freezeout at Walsall.

Please PM me or post on here if you're interested.

thanks!

hang on a fecking minute. I was the first one with that idea. Kinboshi nicked it from me ffs. Check the dates.

Gl with this Clare.

OK, OK, fmp :)

ty ty

Wow, ambitious.

gl claire. if i was minted id take the lot, im not but gl anyway.

the trend for 30% equity w no input is a little biased imo, i wounldnt consider staking unless i thought stakee had a significant edge (congrats i think u do over the 6 tournies iv player w you at luton in, iv seen u play and ur good, deffo top 10% luton) but i think is slightly undermining the risk taken on by the stakee in accordance with applicants with no pedigree or results in these kind of fields. Not meaning to deter potential applicants, but these fields are 70% pro, if you think u have an edge good luck to you. i think 20% for no outlay is more than fair w no pedigree. those amateurs that think they have an edge on pro fields, seriously, good luck to you.

Bollocks did I nick the proposal template from you.  I wrote mine without looking at any others - if it's similar to yours it's because great minds think alike. 

sell at evens,buy 30% of yourself.

GL luck with this Claire.

Alex: I know there are a lot of good players playing this tour but I've heard that the average player is very weak?

You just have to hope you get sat on a table with lots of satellite players!

I'd actually say the average table in a GUKPT main event is tremendously tough, especially now as it seems to be attracting more interest from overseas and the bigger UK players. The fact that Marc Goodwin won European Player of the Year from it, the champion of champions events and the week long side events are all making it a big draw for the pros. Id say that its getting to the point where there are more pros at an average GUKPT table than there is recreational players. The difference between a GUKPT and a GCBPT main event if phenomenal, the GCBPTs the average player is very bad, the GUKPTs Id say the average player is very good. Could be a credit crunch thing too, everything is a credit crunch thing these days.

Sorry to hijack the staking thread there Claire, good luck

This.

U don't have to tell me how bad the standard at a gala event is- even I won one :D

mbsfn

You seem to think the UK circuit pro's are good, this is not the case.

So you buying a % then ;)

Some are good.

Plus there seem to be more net guys playing

was pleasantly surprised with the number of replies til I read 'em lol :)

Ho hum - as I said at start, I knew it was a long shot.  Nothing ventured etc.

thanks for the kind words Alex :)

This

When I say pro, I did kind of mean 'good pro' and for the most part I was referring to the online players. I wasnt really referring to some players who refer to themselves as 'circuit pros' when they are actually just glorified unemployed and nipping their way across the country to these events. Either way, not many easy spots at an average GUKPT ME table.

I get yur drift with the curcuit guys but in this particular tournament there seems to be an above average field,i mean you must have 8 at least with a personal interest and 1.3 seems far fetched to me.I know thats not the point your getting at but thats how i see it.gl Claire but i for 1 am out.

If it weren't for luck, Flushy would win them all!

That and the will to travel to the likes of Bolton....

Why not try and go for staking in 1 or 2 of the side events then if you get a result bobs your uncle you can then go for part staking to the ME.

This.

The side events at the GUKPT are awesome value by comparision to the main events, much weaker fields made up of the locals and with a C of C seat at the end of them really worth the entry free. Not just that, some of them are getting massive fields making some ridic first prizes for £100-£300 comps. The structures are pretty decent for that level of comp too.

yeah the side events are probably where I should be, but not possible this week due to work.  I'm going to have another stab at qualification for the ME this evening - if no joy I'll probably play the equal chance thing instead.

There are two £110 and one £275 GUKPT side events over the weekend that might be worth a peek?

I am planning on going for £275 2 dayer starting 6pm Saturday. Might be greedy and go to EC on the friday and either get a decent stack for coming back or shoot off to Brighton.

Claire you're on the betting for this now so I am guessing your playing??

Claire Macgregor 150/1

not to my knowledge!

right - got the rest of the week off work and planning on playing the £100 jobbies tomorrow and Friday night and the £250 at the weekend :)up
