Main Event in a week - I am really keen to play, however as I am a bankroll nit and am not backed and no longer work I do not really want to put $5.2k in play in one tournament. I think there will still be plenty of value in the tournament as the sats will go crazy the week before, despite obviously all the MTT regs turning out.

I generally play MTT ABI c $110.  The plan this year after finishing work was to grind lower stakes, high volume, however this hasn't really happened for a number of reasons (timely binks, dad ill so alot of time in Weymouth) and I have continued to mainly play ABI at c$120.  I had a good 2010 when working (all info on OPR links below), finishing with a ROI of 34% on stars, 369% Tilt (obv small sample size), 63% Party.

2011 started badly, poor results pre Vegas - I think mainly due to "Oh shit Ive quit my job" syndrome and trying to do some stuff differently - like grind and play 10-12 table, which tbh I am not at my best.  However, I have turned it round since returning from Vegas (Brummies coaching sure helped) with some decent results and am now in a decent profit for 2011.

Over the past year and a bit, I have taken 2nd 100r Sunday, 2nd Super Tuesday, 1st party High Roller, won microgamming 100k Euro (JoeKinnear), FT Sunday Brawl 6th, a couple of Big $162 Finals and other 100r, 50r cashes. I'm pretty pleased with these results as my volume is not comparable to some of the top MTT players - I really should play more on Party for example.

WCOOP so far, 5 cashes from 11 I think - including 4th place in the 4 max.  Spewed hard in some as well where chances and overplayed a couple of hands - so all in all a good series so far.

I am looking to sell 30%-50% at 1:1 - which I think represents a fair deal.  Anybody who backed me in Vegas can buy at spot as I made a commitment for reduction in next staking thread I put up.

1% = $57.20
2.5% = $143.00
5% = $286.00
10% = $572

Transfer on Pokerstars to claypole.  , I will definitely play if we sell 30% and will consider if lower and obv return if for any reason we don't play.

Final point - as many of you know, my father is very ill at the moment - so if for any reason I decode not to play last minute I will of course refund and appreciate your understanding.

Thanks for reading.   Flame away.  Shaun
