Title: PCA, $5k side events package
Post by: easypickings on December 14, 2010, 01:18:27 AM
I hadn't quite realised how good (and expensive!) the PCA schedule is! http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/festival.php?a=r&n=7393

I'm looking to sell up to 40% for the two side events that I will play, either as a package or individually, both at 1.1. They are the $5k (+$250) six-max bounty (Wednesday 12th), and the $5k (+$250) 8-game championships (Friday 14th)

Here is my Hendon Mob:

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=54053

To explain about the two events:

$5k six-max bounty

20% of the prize-pool is the bounty prize-pool, meaning that you recieve $1k for every player you knock-out.  I feel that this changes the strategy very little, but obviously it becomes right to gamble a little more against shallower stacks. The event will be tough, but a really exciting one, and particularly for me, as all of my play online is six-max.

$5k 8-game mixed event

The eight games are no-limit holdem, PLO, limit holdem, stud hi, stud hi-lo, razz, 2-7 triple draw, and Omaha eight-or-better. I feel that my strength in the eight game mix is that, no-limit holdem aside, I am equally experienced and strong in the seven other games.

I think this event will  in fact be better value, but this is the event for which I have less of a proven track record. I only started learning the six non-standard games at the start of the year, but poured tons of time and coaching into them.

At the WSOP, I entered the $2.5k 8-game, $10k events in stud, stud hi-lo and Omaha-eight-or-better, and $2.5k razz. I went deepish on day two in all of them, and finished 7th on the final table of the razz event for $25.6k. This meant a loss for the mixed game part of the trip, but I felt it was because the razz event was the smaller buy-in, and felt very positive about the mixed games.

So, the pricing at 1.1 works out as follows:

Individually

2.5%- $144.38
5% - $288.75
10% - $577.50

As a package

1.25% of both- $144.38
2.5% of both- $288.75
5% of both- $577.50

and so on.

Payment by Stars or bank transfer to reserve the pieces. Thanks guys, sorry for the long post

Slight date changes to the events that were published on the HM website, but there are exactly the same events. The two events are now

"NAPT Bounty Shootout" (Thursday 13th), and
"Poker 8game championships" (Saturday 15th)

PCA Staking

Sigh.

Really gutted about this, but I'm not going to make it out to the PCA. I've got a bad ear infection, and doctor has advised me not to fly. I was originally going to ignore that, but it's got worse the last 24 hours, and I didn't like the possiblity of it getting bad half way into a 10 hour flight.

Going to refund all stakes plus 5% interest, sorry for the bother. Just let me know preferred method (bank transfer/Stars name), and I'll send straight away.

Thanks for the interest, sorry to have to cancel.
