Hello guys, in light of my recent discussions with some regular PLO8 tournament players, I have decided to try and give the 2.1k Scoop events a shot. These events take place on May 23rd/24th two days after my final university exam. I intend to spend the day and a half sleeping and preparing to play, with these tournaments the primary focus.

My name is Adam Picken, I've began to take MTTs seriously around November 2012, with a backing deal with Stato_1. Unfortunately this deal ended in March 2012, and I went out on my own. I began to play more MTTs around September this year, and in November I chopped the 55 Saturday PLO8 6max and haven't really looked back from there with April 2012 being my first 10k month despite no 10k score yet. I have become an Omaha 8 regular having played and final tabled both the PLO8 weekly once, the NLO8 weekly seven (?) times with a win, a chop and a third as well as the Weekly 530 PLO8 etc. I believe I have a significant edge in these fields, and an edge over many of the regular players (Who doesn't think they are an above average reg  ;whistle;) and I believe the tournament experience I have from this will transition well to these fields. The PLO8 field had 140 runners (280k prizepool 64k up top) and the NLO8 93 runners (186k prizepool 3 way chop 45.6/40/30) last year and in theory I have played many more hands in o8 tournaments than most. I think the prizepool will be a touch bigger this year, the game has had some recent interest with the omaha week but I can only guess using last years figures.

I am selling 80% total, I would consider playing with slightly less sold or maybe just one event if demand isn't there to sell for two.

Buyins: 4200$
1%= 42
5%= 210
10%= 420

I reserve the right to not play in case I don't feel 100% and will return all funds promptly in this case. I will be selling action via Facebook, and will try to keep this up to date, in the event of overselling I will try to use time to adjudicate properly.

Stars (preferred)/ Tilt/ Bank Transfer all ok.

Action: (Remaining-38%)
Facebook 10%
Facebook 10%
Facebook 10%
Keylek 10%
2% BorntheBubble Paid
LilDave Rest
Gl us.

2% please Adam, may take more this week but need to decide how big im going to go on sunday first and re evaluate my finances. Is stars good for you?

Perfect just let me know when you send

18% DONT SELL ANY MORE.

LilDave has booked a conditional rest, so no more action to be sold.

Sucks buying in ppl who have less than 40% of theselves imo

would you rather he sold 60% at 1.2 or 80% at 1.0?

serious question btw!

He's just bullying me because he wants me to take a bigger piece. Something about having 2 shots a year at serious high/low gold but LilD forgets I want to last longer than one scoop.

I'm pretty sure everyone who bought so far would have stood 1.05-1.15 but I don't feel like it is justified and the poker  marketplace is misused/abused in general and I don't want to be part of that.

60% at 1.2.

LilDave has 23% - still unpaid ofc <3

well obviously!

13/60 with 27 paid, getting in some nice spots, super happy with the field.

34th.

Just to close this off the NLO8 one was no good either. Pretty gutted, spoke to all investors separately apart from Born, who I'll speak to shortly. GG.
