Hi all,
For those of you who don't know me already my name is Andrew Hulme and I've been a professional online and live player for about one year.
I play mainly online mtts as stato_1 on stars, LeStatMan.TE on stars.fr and used to also be stato_1 on full tilt, sharkscopes and OPRs are all available for viewing.
I've also played quite a lot of live cash in the last 2 years with a good amount of success which I feel has improved my live game massively, and also improved my game with deep stacks, which will suit this format (20k starting stack, 60min clock).
Im currently backed for live tournaments up to 1ks by James Keys and Keith Johnson (skolsuper and mondeoman), I'm sure some of already know these guys and they (along with cambridgealex and a few other blondes) could vouch for my trustworthiness.
1/2 of the action of this tournament will be covered on that make up deal, I'm looking to sell up to 50% overall of the remaining action at 1.25. I want to play this tournament for a few reasons. Firstly I think it will be good value as I endeavour to make as much money as possible on the deal I am currently on. Secondly I think the Irish Open is widely recognised as one of the softest high buy in events around, and although I have never played it, I have played in Ireland on several occasions, which has done nothing to make me think that this would be incorrect. Depending on how this sells I will likely take any remaining action myself but that is not 100% guaranteed.
I think this is good investment for you (the staker) because I expect the tournament to be very soft for a tournament with this size buyin, and I think I will have a better general understanding of mtt strategy than a large amount of the other entrants. I also have a very professional attitude to live tournaments (something I think is easy to underestimate), and while I will be taking this extremely seriously, I certainly will not be fazed by the amount of money involved.
Here is a link to my hendon mob which is slightly less awful after my recent 2nd place finish in the Mega Poker series for £21k, it's still not fantastic, but in the interest of full disclosure...
