Edit: Sold out

Not played much higher buyin stuff over the last month or two but looking to get back into it in May. Two festivals I want to play in, one week after the other. Bit expensive to do that so looking to shift some of my action. Ideally I'd like to just lump all the comps together and sell like that but if anyone had any objection to this and would rather buy the UKIPT comp seperately then let me know.

The events:

7th May: Alea Leeds £100 f/o - 10k/30min/£1000 added

8th May: Alea Leeds £250 f/o - 15k/60min

Weekend after: UKIPT Nottingham £500 f/o - 15k/60min

The proposal:

Total combined costs of all three tournaments is £945. I'm looking to sell 50% of my action total for £11.34 per 1% (1.2) in 5% multiples. Each % corresponds to that % of my total prize money from the three tournaments combined. I don't usually charge a premium on my action but it will help fund an expensive weekend in Nottingham. Obv I don't need expenses for the Leeds events but the fields in these will be v v v soft.

My record:

Hendon mob: http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=134386

Had a profitable year last year with a couple of nice results at DTD. Had a quiet year so far, but only played the one DTD £300 so far. Have been generally busy and not had the weekends to dedicate to it :(

Pai:

Bank transfer please. Now if you want to get it out of the way but I'm obv happy to wait until nearer the time.


I'll write a report for each tournament so people know how it went on. I do warn you in advance tho that the £100er may well end up reading "sigh, wp me".

Any questions let me know :)

10% please...if you go down the splitting tournies route id have 20% of UKIPT instead. PM bank details and gl...

Can I take all of the Alea ones pls?

Good proposition nana! Was planning to put together one for the alea festival myself! Do u thing it well get the runners?

Greekstein can have all of the Alea stuff.

redsimon can have 20% of the UKIPT.

That leaves 30% of the UKIPT left :)

Yes. Pretty much everyone I've spoken to is planning on playing it. And they're adding money to the £20r/£100f too so should draw a decent crowd.

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

can i have a slice?

what's a reasonable prediction on take up for the bigger Alea buy-ins Charles? Not been in alea for ages so no real idea of how many runners it is likely to get.

Alot of people will say they intend to play but who will turn up may be a different matter.

GL in the UKIPT

sure can

10% each?

I think it'll get good numbers. The casino is generally busier wrt poker these days. Comps getting respectable numbers (40-50) considering Gala offers £££££. Has always been 2-3 cash tables open too any night I go in. Lots of interest from people who play there so I think it'll get good numbers. I'm looking forward to it :)

Is 8th May a 2 day event?

yes

Not sure if you commented before but why don`t you play online ?

it bores me and I don't really have the time to properly invest in it. That said my stars sng graph is good(cfpoker333) but only a few hundred games. My mtt graph is similar to cos' but only over 7 games and not $5k down :)

Still some of the DtD stakeage available...(do I get commission cf?)

am i still getting 10% in the alea tourneys?

not as far as I'm aware, cos has it all. If he wants to sell you 10% of it that's up to you guys.

sure are

hahhahaahah sorry he won a seat Cf had all the % again now  Don't think cos knows yet

Which Day 1 are you playing in UKIPT cf?

rofl.

i know na na frickin nai wouldnt do that

he told me last week he was planning on griming you!!

that's absolutely fine.

Tournament reports!

£100 f/o

This didn't go too good. I got a decent stack going early on but lost a few key pots to dwindle a bit. I eventually busted in 28th after shoving 99 into AA. gg.

£250 f/o

Only 16 players for this which was disapointing. I'd have prob not bothered playing had I not already satted in. That said, 15,000 chips and a 60 min clock is a good warmup for the UKIPT on Wednesday. cba going into individual hands or anything. I started slowly and eventually got a reasonable stack together but on the final I was never really chipped up. In relation to the blinds though I was pretty much ok. 3 of us called it a night at 2am to start at 3pm today. I started as the shortstack at 800/1600 with 35k, the two other guys having ~80k and ~110k. A couple of hands in I got the dream scenario of the other two having AK v QQ. AK binked leaving one of them with about 25k, and I then knocked him out giving me a reasonable stack to go into heads up with. Never really went on a run though and I eventually busted shoving A3 into AT. £1,100 for my troubles in the end. Cos, I can either give you your $$$ on Wed at DTD or send me your bank details and i'll transfer it over.

1a. Gonna buy in tomorow.

Congrats Mate! Running well ATM and GL at DTD!

best of luck

wiii nice one carlito, that's why i took the lot. Think highly of how you play.

how much is it?

£550?

Girgy knows his numbers.

Good luck this week mate

Well the UKIPT didn't go too well :(

Had such an inconsistent day, which was really annoying seeing how soft my table was, with the exception of one or two players. I was suprised one of them even found his way to DTD given how far out of it he seemed.

My chip count yoyoed all over the place reaching lows of 7k and highs of 22k. Whenever I got chipped up I would then proceed to lose chips again, but given the hands I had I think this was unavoidable. Maybe one exception was when I tried running a bluff which didn't get thru. It would have done had he not flopped a set though, sigh.

And so it came to be at 300/600-75 and a stack of 12k I raised the button with AJ, shoved over the BBs 4k, and got called by KJ. And that was that :(

Ah well, at least I get to go see Four Lions tomorrow.

Unlucky Charles. Standard of play softer that DtD £300?

Day 1a seemed like a super soft field. There were good players scattered around the room but overall I'd say the standard was really bad. Just look at some of the hands in the update thread lol. I particulary liked the AA one that knocked chris brammer out.

Obviously as the field gets smaller some of the better players will emerge but as far as £500 comps go I don't think you can find better value than this.
