i believe i was also in the top 3 most sucessful cash game players on the old tribecca network.

Many top players on blonde will hopefully vouch for my edge in big field tournaments.

£1k is too much money for me to buy into one tournament, but i do believe that i will have a good edge on a lot of the players who buy in outright.

I am approximately £40k up from my live poker games including a win in last years galway ukipt side event and a chop of two bellagio events.

I have played 58 £300+ events, final tabled 12, made the money in 17 and won 1 outright.

I understand that it is a fair amount of money to shell out for a small percentage, and believe me if i had a £150,000 roll i would enter myself.

I do feel that i am above the standard of the players that will be participating in the Monte Carlo and that i have more experience, due to grinding online through countless hours than many of the 'name' pro's will have.

The games changed a lil bit since then  ;whistle;

The whole marking up thing really bothers me to be honest.

A player will say that he/she has an edge of 1.1 over the field. This I can accept.

When they then charge stakers 1.1 the staker is losing any value they had in that players edge therefore making them no more attractive than a 1:1 player selling at 1:1

I make an exception for MC here because I believe he is better than 1.1:1 against the field that will be in the MC. at least 50 seats have been won in sats and that makes a huge difference to the overall standard.

MC selling at 1.1:1 here is I believe good value for stakers because he is >1.1 imo.

In most cases players just ask for staking because they're good and instantly steal that edge of stakers who for some reason just accept it.

Sigh, no-one got my post yet :(

but thanks EvilPie :P

Mc is so good his name is already on the trophy!

Gl with this man. I'm pretty busto due to my business start up in jan or I would have taken a decent chunk of both!

See you in brum next week !

is this the website you were setting up??

Pm sent to keep off mcs thread

Sorry to report we bust.

Felt like I played well on my opening table. I guess some would question my 48cc hand if you saw the reports, but really felt like his mini-3bet on the flop was allowing himself to fold to a shove, and didn't have him on the monsters that would mean I could fold. Had a fun hand where I isolated a limper pf (who was playing his first live tournament) with 77. Flop T85 (1 heart), check check. He led the Jack of hearts turn, I called. Then he bet the A of hearts river, and I made a decent raise. He tanks and ends up calling. I muck my cards (although they don't hit the muck) and he shows down sixes! I say sorry, flip my cards and scoop the pot. Wiiiiii value raise.

Got moved from not-the-best-starting-table to an even worse table featuring James Keys and Jerome Bradpiece. Pretty much got owned whenever I chose to make a move in a pot. Managed to dwindle down to 10k thanks lastley to a blind on blind hand where I floated the flop and bet the river on K74A3. He sigh called with KQs which was obviously a stronger hand than I expected him to have. I shoved 9Ts from middle position with ~11k at 400/800 (75) which is the bottom of my range, but the adjusted blinds are really 600/1200 so I was happy to shove against most of the people I was shoving into who I didn't think are calling me correctly. Obviously Jerome has KK on the button. Sigh.

Am pretty bummed about how my 2nd table went. Sorry I couldn't give you guys more of a sweat after having a decent start.

Its not for me to pick this apart, but I do feel someone needs to act on behalf of BACKERS interests. This isnt a dig at you but generally everyone overestimates themselves.

If 2+2 were correct then 99% of the field would be +ev at 1.2-1 in the PCA for example!

But if someone calls you out, to use a claim that you were one of the biggest winners in cash on a site, but then follow it up with OPRS where ur current average stake is less than $20 or whatever is surely just plain ludicrous.

As for admitting you need £150k to buy into a £1k event where you feel you have an edge?????  I mean it just needs explaining cos whilst you have read you can go 150 mtts without a result etc. It is a one off tournament and you can take a shot, it doesnt work like this and you are showing huge naivity imo by suggesting people need £150k to buy into what you call a soft £1k tourny live

As I stated not a dig personally as you are a nice kid

Man, no-one seems to have gotten this but that post was just a joke.

I copied and pasted Triggs post from: http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=35197.0 ...and edited it to fit myself .... I thought it was funny he brought up the topic of charging a 1.1 premium having read that thread recently.

Obviously I wouldn't have mentioned Tribeca cash games from 2006 if I was serious about my edge! The numbers such as live tournament winnings were just guesses, and I went for 150 buy-ins just cos I thought that was the accepted bankroll guidelines for MTTs these days, although obviously your point about taking a shot is valid.

ok cool- tbh 2+2 staking is tilting me in general to the whole thing. Buy shares in someone on a Sunday, pay a 30% premium, hear badbeats, receive 25-40% of stake back. Rinse and repeat lol


Edited- just read that Trigg thread and massive apologies as it was a great post from you

Yeah, know what you mean re: 2+2 staking. Wasted my time on PTP recently.

Lol no worries re: post, probs should have made it clearer so I didn't come off like a dick!
