Title: Sky Grand Final, 20% 'Auction' (£200+20)
Post by: MC on June 09, 2009, 03:49:18 PM
Thought it would be a bit of fun to do something different for this one.

I'm auctioning 20% of myself to the highest bidder. The highest bid as at Midday exactly (ie 12:00.00pm) on Saturday 13th June will win. The winner must be able to ship funds on PokerStars before 2pm the same day.

I'm thinking my edge on the potential field will be pretty big, and I'm seemingly in form at the moment. Going for 3 cashes in a row!

Happy Bidding :)

Now I know there have been other offers but frankly...those people can't market you after you win the event and I can. you want to break into the market..not just win one event.

I'll offer £25 for 40% of the tourney and 25% of all future winnings.

Have agreed to swap a small % with Neil unrelated to this.

As this is an 'auction' I think I can only accept monetary bets (easter eggs and belt buckles could perhaps be used as tempters alongside a normal bid?).

Thanks for all the genuine offers btw! Rupert with £60 is the man in charge...

Sigh, I'm afraid an earlier exit than I was hoping for

Early on in the day, at 1200/2400 (300) I flatted a fairly tight player's 6.5k raise with 99. A guy shoved on the button for 28k. He'd been shoving a lot so it was a no-brainer that when original raiser folded and getting 2:1 on a call that I called. He had AK and spiked a K.

Winning this pot would have put me amongst the chip leaders, but as can happen in poker I was soon out when I shoved 66 and got looked up by AK. They spiked a four flush on the river and I was out.

A shame I don't flip better!
