I'm looking to sell £3500 of action in next Wednesday's £5000 WSOPE PLO event at Leicester Square. I have decided to offer these in blocks of £500 for 7% of the action.

As the current European Number 1 ranked PLO player in 2008 and winner of a GUKPT £250 PLO freezeout, £300 PLO Norweigian Championships at DTD this year plus another PLO GUKPT final in the last event i played, i feel this represents an excellent investment return potential. I also play 1000s of hands daily in both PLO tournaments and cash games against some of the best players on the internet so my hand experience for this event will be on a parallel to the best players in the field. You certainly won't get a player that is just looking to cash for your money i will be looking to final and play outright for the win.

First prize in the event last year was £235,000 and i would expect the number of runners to increase as there are more PLO players than this time last year and likely to be a bigger contingent of bracelet hunting travellers many of which may not play PLO that regularly.

If anyone is interested please either reply on this thread or by PM i'm not currently looking to sell in smaller chunks due to the problems of collecting and the relatively short time before the event. If i get close i may open it up to smaller pieces. Money can be paid either in cash if you are going to be at the event or transfers on Stars, Full Tilt or Blonde. Any returns will likely be paid in cash although online $ may be an option.

Feel free to ask any questions, flame etc i'll respond as soon as i can.

There is a very good chance this will happen as i am in negotiations to sell stakes on the same terms with 1 or 2 people offline, and i won't take any money until i'm 100% certain to play.

£1k for 17%?

If I had a nice roll, I'd take a piece of the action, Dave. Good luck in the event, hope you win it.

I probably should have mentioned a 10th place in this years $2500 PLO/PLH Mixed Event 24 at the WSOP as valid form credentials.

Ok £1k has gone.

Another £500 went today offline which leaves 4 blocks and 2 of those are reserved pending agreement of terms.

Shifted another £750 today which just leaves £1250 to go. If anyone is interested in a smaller % there is at least 1 half block which i don't mind breaking up.

good luck with this mate, cant afford to stake you but if i could choose anyone in this type of event to stake then it would be you. ;goodluck;

Ok looks like a previous £500 i sold is going to be doubled and i will be wearing a shirt promoting their poker site, more news when it's definitely confirmed. Just leaves £750 to sell, any last minute interest?

Just missed this...will definitely buy shares in you in the future for omaha tournies. gl ahyhoo

Good luck Dave

Still in ? Sweet, go on dave.

good luck dave.

wishes I had the courage of my convictions now!

Thanks guys well i made end of day 1 with 65k in chips returning 21st out of 45. Never really in trouble once i doubled from 30k to 60k against David Williams with my top pair nut flush draw against his bottom 2 and up and down. Very nearly got a further double through from him when on a 533 flop i held 7755 and Williams managed to get away from KK3x without the pair in his hand i'd of certainly been sailing up to 150k.
Thanks to Flushy, Bad Beat, Equal Chance Poker Club and a couple of offline backers for the chance to play this and show what i can do in a class field. I'll try and get online later for a further update.

Good luck today Dave!

It looks like Dave is 13/25 with 130k. A double up puts him right in with a shout. Good luck.

good luck Dave - take it down!

Eric Dalby - London?  Anyone know him?

no - but I might go and introduce myself ;D

He's nearly as old as Grandad Tikay............. used to be a regular in the big game at the Vic, don't know if that is still the case.................also won the first Ladbrokes Cruise a couple of years ago and has cashed several times at the WSOP in the past.

Plays as Lowball on Laddies.

Flushy mentioned on Saturday that this would be a good stake

[  ] Glad I ignored him.

ah - I'll give it a miss then :)

He's older than me - much older!

Still plays Omaha a lot Online, Hi-Lo especially.

Ex school-headmaster, & the Table will soon know that.....

With age comes feistyness.

really?  someone call Norris McWhirter!

Trust me, it's true.

Well into his seventies, I'd say.

Pob Lwc Dave :)up

win it all yo.

He's early eighties I believe. Also likes a slowroll. In last year's HORSE event him and Mark Vos tangled with just two tables left. Vos showed trips or something and Eric tapped the table saying 'nice hand, nice hand'. Mark went to take the pot, and Eric turned over quads. Mark wasn't happy, but Eric was loving it.

Yes, that's a typical Eric Dalby tactic.

Did any Blondes take Dave up on his offer?

I dont think he'll have much trouble selling shares in the future!!

Good luck i hope you take it down

Dont know what the blinds are when they resume but looks like Mr Penly needs to get busy from the off being one of the shorties... All the best to him and his backers!

Dont think Penly needs any encouragement to get busy!!

Correction, he's 78, and completely loopy.

Dave 4/6. Gogogo!

fantastic result. wp Dave

Congratulations Dave

You fully deserve to be top of the PLO European Rankings with the consistency you have shown this year.

Hopefully i will see you Sunday in the £1000 PLO at The Vic.

Unless one of the players below you wins the Master Classics Plo this year i can't see you getting caught.

All the best

ACES

good stuff sir.

Hi everyone and thanks for all your good luck wishes and congratulations also particularly to the various backers. Everyone has been paid apart from Flushy and NoFlopsHomer whp's money is on deposit at The Vic. All backers made around 550% ROI which i'm sure they will all be very happy with. Even Channing nearly got out of it with me!
I love PLO tournaments and this was a fantastically structured event and without doubt a world class field, i'm still slightly disappointed with the result and to be so card dead for the last 2 days. I was constantly looking for the pot to get back to average chips where i could now open up and utilise my post flop skills and renowned "touch of gamble". Eventtually i found it and came out on the wrong end but no complaints i enjoyed the exact opposite scenario with 2 tables left when i beat Boosted J's aces with 910jq allin pre. I'm very pleased i kept my discipline not something i'm always renowned for. As an example with 6 left and 35k of my 160k committed UTG with AKJ9 double suited i found a pass for the rest when Max Pescatori reraised the pot. This might seem like a bad pass but in 2 days of playing with Max in Vegas during the PLO and here i had never seen him go through with his routine reraise and not turn over aces. I honestly couldnt of passed the hand to any of the other 4 players but the strength of my read got me away from the hand, a year ago i'd of maybe noticed the same but likely ignored my read and gambled.
Simon yes i'll be playing the PLO at the Vic and probably the ones during the Heads Up in Barcelona and Masterclassics. I'm not sure if there is any prize money for the rankings as they don't seem to be sponsored at the moment but the prestige is enough. It probably pushes me up to 4 or 5 in all games rankings too so room for improvement there.

Im not sure what makes up the criteria or who decides, but I'd say Dave is a contender for the 'Blonde hall of fame' for this achievement.

Wait till the end of the year Mr. Shoelace, the #1 Omaha ranking for 2008 isn't in the bag yet.

Nice score and well done Dave and all the backers!!

I was basing it on the fact that a load of blondes staked him on a blonde thread and it ended with a nice return and a WSOPE final table. Not every day that happens.

Well done mate, top effort.

[  ] I'm good at picking PLO horses

[X] Well done Dave

You misunderstand me, I didn't mean that this doesn't merit getting in the Hall of Fame.

Achievement is massive and he deserves to be in there, it's just that in all probabilty he's going to be achieving something more massive very soon, having come in 1st in two other PLO comps this year

very good point

Great performance Dave.

Nice.

you guys all get paid?

lol

+1, lol

Does that constitute a yes?

[  ] Yes
