What I am selling:

Hi guys, I'm looking to take an interest list in my action in the Sky UKPC £3,000 High Roller. If I sell I will be looking to sell 50%.

Why buy:

Although there will undoubtedly be some talent in this field, there are also a lot of satellites being run into this event. Although that doesn't necessarily mean the standard of the field will be any lower than it would without sat qualifiers, it very likely will be, as satellites allow 'pros' who wouldn't usually play buyins this high to take their 'shot' - and as there has been little to no previous sample of them playing buyins of these scale, it's impossible to judge how they will handle it. Also what satellites do is make the tournament more accessible to a higher amount of recreational players. I feel that for this reason I should have a significant advantage over a good percentage of the field, due to having more experience in both buyins this size, as well as having played countless more hands than most recreational players.

^Above is an up to date version of my Sharkscope. As you can see I've amassed around half of my online MTT profit in around 1/7th of my lifetime sample. As I have said in previous posts, this is no co-incidence; around the time of the start of this relatively small sample I made a conscious decision to be more professional, be that in terms of; Playing only when feeling 100%, Playing less tables in order to focus more (hence why it has took a longer period of time to amass the same sample then it would have previously), Studying a lot more by way of; HH reviews with some of the worlds best MTT players (Trigg, Pleno, BIgbluffzinc - who I am currently backed by online)...etc, Countless HH discussions, as well doing a little coaching of my own for people who play lower stakes.

Another advantage I have over the field is that the format is 6 max, the structure is deep stacked and the host is a Sky Poker. The reason for these things being advantages are that over the last few months, my poker game has become a lot more diverse. The reason for this is that I have introduced online cash games. The cash games I have introduced have been in the 6 max format, deep stacked and a large % of them has been on the UKPC host site - Sky. Another reason this is an advantage is that the games I have been frequenting have been 200-500nl, where I have been a significant winner, however I do have a fair sample of hands in relation to volume where I have taken 'shots' when the games have been good at 1knl (£5/£10) and 2knl (£10/£20) and am a fair winner at (although sample is probably too small to count as relative). The reason for this being an advantage is that the other players who play in these games are more likely to play the UKPC high roller than those at lower stakes, therefore I will have a good grasp of how they play. This is particularly magnified by me knowing them as being regs on Sky which has a relatively small player pool rather then a site like Stars which has ridiculous sized one, as the number of hands I will have on the regs will be a more concentrated part of my sample.

Why buy:

Ability

I feel I have a significant edge in these fields in terms of ability, both due to the vast amounts of satellite qualifiers / punters who 'flick in', as well being able to compete with those at the top of the game.

Trustworthiness

I have played backed for the majority of my online poker 'career', over this time I have handled $x0,000 sums of backers money at a single time. Each time every penny has reached its owner within seconds of my requiring to do so.

I have also sold numerous packages on this forum, many of which have yielded returns. Those can be found at:

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=63643.0 - my most recent staking package with returns on here which returned over $29,000 and was paid out within 24 hours.
...etc.

The Sweat Element

When selling pieces of either a package or a single tournament, unlike a lot of others, I update the thread regularly, meaning that investors can have a sweat and get 'more value' for their money. I have previously invested in people myself, only to receive no updates, to which I found very frustrating as I find it enjoyable to have a sweat. I try and be the total opposite of this. I'm also really happy to go through my thought processes of hands people find interesting (during tournament breaks...etc). Examples of this in a recent $2k WCOOP Series main include:



Cliffs and fine print:

Looking to take an interest list in up to 50% of my £3000 UKPC High Roller action on 11/08 @ 1.05.

1% = £31.50
5% = £157.50
10% = £315
25% = £787.50
50% = £1575

*I will decide whether I am playing by 04/08. If I decide to play and sell action, I reserve the right to cancel it at any time if I do not feel 100% or if the field looks too tough. I will NOT be re-entering.

**I will need to sell 40% minimum if I am to play.

***If I do sell, I am only selling the monetary returns of my action. Trophies / leaderboard points...etc will not be included in the returns.

THANKS FOR READING!

Hi Tom,

That's a great proposal, & realistically priced, too.

I've invested in you regularly, & can confirm you keep us thoroughly updated, & pay winnings pronto-fashion. 

I've sort of been forced to make a policy decision NOT to buy any action, in anyone, in UKPC Events, (it was the same in the February UKPC), as the usual suspects tend to dream up all sorts of conspiracy theories if I do.

For that reason, I'm out, sorry, but it won't matter, as I am 100% confident this proposal will sell out quickly.

Good luck Tom, & see you there.

Can I reserve 10% please.

I understand Tikay, thanks for the kind words and Ill see you there!

@Gamblor, 10 is res'd mate thanks very much :)

reserve me 5 fish.

I dont have many £££ at the minute otherwise would take more!

Res'd mate! You back in Sheffield any time soon? If so you can win some money off me playing tennis :)

Sounds like a great way of geting action in you! No plans to be around any time soon but will message and arrange something either here or there. Life is ram jammed at the minute which is good. But poker is right on the back burners, need to change that!

Reserve 20 please. Will let you know by Thursday of this week on exact number if thats cool?

5 please

2.5% please.

All res'd thanks guys :)

@picken that's fine mate, you playing it yourself?

Na going to Barcelona later in the month and want to get some good work in online beforehand. Not really played much this last month.

Alex spencer took the last 7.5%. That takes us up to 50% res'd.

Will take a WL if people are interested.


Fair enough mate, shall hopefully see you in Barca.

res 5 pls

Will WL u bud, if anybody drops out / if I open more you got 5 res'd :)

ta

will sell you my 5% at 1.55 ;)

Alright, will make mine 15. Can send via bank tomorrow or stars, up to you.

Ok Adam cheers. WRRU u have 5%. Will 100% be going ahead with this now.

Bank is preferred transfer method however can sort something else out if needed.

Will send bank details when I'm home tomorrow, if you wanna sort out a different method post here / pm.

awesome will tf next wk, see u there!

Just sent bank details to everyone, sorry it took so long guys been really busy recently!

Picken you should already have my bank details. I still owe you $350 for my piece in your package which is which is £207.50 @ xe, and you owe £472.50 for this so u can just owe difference if u like = £265. Or want me to send u stars $ Either way is cool :)

This is 2moro guys, from what I can see I've rec'd from everyone other then Callum and Picken which we've sorted.

I'm not going to enter the HR as the field is at the minute. Will reassess later.

gl whatever you decide.

You playing the sat?

Didn't play the HR sat as I didn't have time today, field just filling with sat qualifiers now tho so there's potential yet.

We're in!

fuck! ;)

Good luck buddy!

40k from 50 will do a full report later

That's the wrong way buddy

Made day 2 with 63k @ end of level 1k/2k/300 so going back to what I assume will be 1.2k/2.4k/300.

22 remain I think from a field of around 60.

Really happy with the way I played, had 2 brutal hands, KK < AA vs Middy for just over 20k each earlyish and had to check fold 99 on river vs Ben Vinson Q7892xxccc after I c/c flop c/r turn and c/f river. In hindsight I really wish I didn't c/r turn, its a pretty bad spot to do it and I pretty much instantly regretted it. Was up to 100k before this hand. (Ben said he had J10).

Anyway restart is at noon tomorrow so will update as and when I can.

playing day 2

So dreamy. Gl goat

Spending the mark up on trips to tantasic?!?

Cheer bud, although no good im afraid!

Mildly annoying, early exit for us! We blinded down slightly to 50k @ 1200/2400 then won a fairly sizeable pot vs Middy blind vs blind to take us up to 70k. We opened the BB of Martin Frey, got 3b by him and 4bet clicked it back with A10o. However he 5b jammed and we had to fold. Pretty annoying as I'm fairly confident he was light there and would have called off with a slightly better hand. I kinda feel he 'made a stand' this hand. This left us with 50k again, and 2 hands later, still at 1200/2400, Martin opened BTN to 6k and we find A10o again and pile our 20bbs and change. He made the call with JJ and that was GG us. We were pretty much guaranteed to go broke this hand no matter what, even if we didn't 4b/f previously and still had 70k, as he 2.5x'd from the BTN instead of min raised (pretty sure this is his standard open from that position), which bloats the pot from the start, and seeing as the board ran out 10 high and really dry, we would have had to get our 70k in the middle either way!

Really happy with the way I handed this HR, even though I was fairly confident I had a shot vs the field previous to entering, I couldn't be sure due to never having played one of these before. Looking back, the field was better than I expected, we just ran pretty grim - especially with table draw; having being seated at a table where I didn't really know anybody (not saying for a minute they were bad players - I just really know anyone on it), to immediately hearing 'Next big blind please' on my BB, and being moved to table: Middy, Ben Vinson, Trigg, Tim Chung. Not great. Also feel I had an image which would have been pretty good when deeper (though no doing of my own - just lack of good spots) - that being opening a fairly tight range, and playing pretty solidly. I think I probably opened like 30% of buttons which we're folded to me - again which is absolutely ridiculous, however continually getting dealt hands e.g. 62o on it when the opponents to my left liked to see flops, probably weren't ideal spots for me to be opening in. However when I did open, I was getting a fair bit of respect, and I feel we could have used this image deeper, when stealing becomes more vital to our stack.

Anyway guys, sorry for bricking!
