Hey Guys

Some of you may not know me, but my names James Williams. I'm from Swindon and I am predominately a 6max cash game player online. I play most of my cash on 888 poker and am a good winning reg at $1000nl (5/10$). Over the last year and a half I have gained some experience in live poker and feel I'm now ready to go over to Vegas and give the WSOP a bash.

Although I probably haven't played that many tournaments lifetime I feel I have learnt alot about tournament poker from the circle of friends I mix with. By mostly dissecting hands with them and analysing my own plays and mistakes. I have had some decent results live and I am really excited about the World series. I really have high hopes for myself and really want to go deep and bag a bracelet. I am planning to be over there for 6 weeks playing a few side events.

Here is my hendon mob database

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=120317

The reason I want to sell action on these two events is because they are bigger buy-ins and I am going to be out in Vegas a while and things could get expensive with living costs etc. The events I would like to sell action on are...



Tuesday June 8th

WSOP Event #17 NLHE Full ring
-$5,000 BUY-IN
-15,000 chips
-60 minute levels
-3 Day Event


Thursday June 17th

WSOP Event 32 NLHE 6 Max
- $5,000 entry
- 15,000 chips
- 60 minute levels
- 3 day event

I feel the $5k full-ring will be a great event for me. I think there will be alot of weak players in the field and I will be playing this event no matter how much action I sell on it. The rate I will be selling at is 1.1 which is $550 for 10%. I am looking to sell around 30% of my action in this event.

I've been told the 6max $5k is probably one of the toughest comps at the WSOP but I believe this format is really going to suit my playing style and game. I have no fear playing any of the best players in the world and relish the opportunity more than anything. I definitely play my best poker short handed and deep and will be in my element playing this tournament.
I recently played the UKIPT Notts 6max although alot softer field was the best comp I have ever played in. I built up a big stack and ended up getting someone to get A7 off allin against my Kings sadly they got there for a huge pot late on day 1 of the comp. The rate I will be selling at is also 1.1 so $550 for 10%. I will be looking to sell around 40% of my action in this event.


I will be providing a full tournament report on both these events and any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Thankyou for reading

James

Hello Guys

Have sold 15% in both events to Private. So 15% left of the Full ring and 25% left of 6max. Just to say I will be playing other side events prior to these events but wont be selling action on them as they are smaller buyins.

I can sell in 1% blocks if that's what you and others would prefer mate.

I've just sold 10% in each for both to Private also. So Now have 5% left of full ring and 15% left of the 6max.

Just sold the last 5% in the $5k full-ring and 10% of the 6max. So $5k fullring is now sold out and just 5% left in the 6max.
