Ok , I am looking to finish off 2010 with a bang and play quite a bit of live poker. I am looking to sell some of my action in the tourneys below:

6 Nov  DTD 300                          £336   £100k

20 Nov Circus 150 (10k added)   £165   £40k*

27 Nov  Intnl Deepstack            £380   £84k*

4 Dec   GUKPT T of C’s             £1000   £150k

17 Dec  DTD Monte Carlo            £1070   £200k

Total         £ 2,951
* = estimate

I am looking to sell 50% of my action @ 1.1 which makes the total £3,250 (I’ve rounded £4)   

Therefore:
10% = £325
5% = £162.50

(I am going to hold back 5% for now as a regular staker is currently out of the country)

GUKPT T of C seat – I have valued this @ 1k – there is a 150k prize pool with circa 150 runners. I won a club championships so will start with a 10k starting stack, which should be around average. Here is a link for those unfamiliar with the tournament.

I will post my thoughts on the events below in a separate post

DTD 300 – well im sure everyone knows the format and field types. I have cashed 2 of my last 3 of these, really like the tourney, and I am due some run good at DTD. Hopefully this will get the stake off to a good start.

Circus 150 – I think this represents a great shot at a cash. This is the same weekend as GUKPT London starts and therefore Im not expecting many travellers despite the 10k added. I am also of the opinion that this will see alot of local £20 type players “step up” and therefore the room should be full of value. My only concern is that it could get a bit crapshooty in parts, but that can be a plus with bad players who aren’t very good with push fold poker.

International Deepstack – A real unknown for me, other than I love deepstacks. I don’t know the venue and have no idea of the field.

GUKPT T of C’s  - Well I guess the field will be tough. However I am comfortable playing these games. I think that the staggered starting stacks could add an interesting dynamic to the tourney.

Monte Carlo – Again probs a tough field, but  i prefer to play deepstacks. I didn’t get going in this last year after I got some clown to put 20k in with 2nd pair in level 2, but got a little unlucky. Hoping for a better showing this time around.

what's your stack in the TOC?

read op?

10k for ease

it makes no real difference but the international's gonna cost you 390, not 380. they do US style bonus chips so you'll want to pay the extra tenner for another 10k chips

tyty - ill take the hit

5% pls

booked tyty

Would have 5% but I can't bring myself to pay a mark up when I let you have bit's of me at spot and I think I'm better than you.

GL mate.

glglgl

lol evil pie

Monte Carlo is £1090

It's getting closer to even money, op can stand

Tyty for letting me know

ok  - well im not gonna lie, im kinda devvd at the response to this - but so be it

I binked the 50r @ G tonight, so im gonna leave this up til monday, but if I dont sell then I will take the thread down

Cos - you can take action if you wish separately,  ill discuss privately

credit crunch m8

Grats on the 50r Guy :)

It's prob because you're selling at a markup! Something i've learnt to not bother doing! Nothing in your staking request really justifies you charging a markup (including hendon mob/tournament descriptions!)! If you just sell it at evens you'll probably have more luck!

Might take a slice if i bink the grand prix on sunday, its a long shot tho.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I thought long and hard about the mark up, and those who have backed me before will know i have never charged a premium. However, this mini tour represnts 5 weekends away, and although I will be minimising my expenses they are still going to be a fair chunk. I tried to keep the mark up as low as poss by not charging juice on the ToC and not putting a premium on what I think will be more than an ave starting stack (and some players wont make it too).

I am not going to amend the thread in terms of costs/mark up. I am obv freerolled to play everything except the monte carlo now anyway. Im happy to leave till monday and see what happens. I might just put up a monte thread closer to the time. Come what may I will still be playing this mini tour.

Brag posts I'm made day two if you ask me

girgywirgy is allowed to brag on my threads!

get it done on Sunday dude!

Chris - you going to G on sunday for the £100?

Not sure yet! Did a chunk in at Dtd cash last night while still on tilt and most my money is all ready for Vegas now

How r u free rolling the other tourneys?

He won the 50r last night

still using his own money so not really free rolling

also cba to argue about it

but he is freerolling cos he won the money from poker and not come from his pocket
