Hello everyone
My name is Michelle Bennett and I am looking to sell up to 50% of my action (at 1.1) for a schedule of tournaments I will be playing during my forthcoming trip to Las Vegas. I have listed below my planned schedule, although this obviously needs to be flexible to take into account 2 day tournaments etc. My total budget for buy-ins is $4000 and I am selling at 1.1, so 10%=$440 (£290) and 5%=$220 (£145).
I will be playing a selection of $200-$400 MTTs at various locations including Venetian, Wynn, Rio & Caesars, as well as a couple of satellites for the Golden Nugget and Wynn series main events:
Mon 25th June - Caesars Palace Ladies event $240
Tues 26th June - Venetian Ladies event $400
Weds 27th June - Venetian Big Bounty $200
Thurs 28th June - Wynn Summer Classic $340
Fri 29th June - Golden Nugget Main Event satellite $125
Sat 30th June - Rio $235 (and possibly Rio $185)
Sun 1st July - day off!
Mon 2nd July - Wynn Summer Classic $340
Tues 3rd July - Wynn Main Event satellite $275
Weds 4th July - Venetian $400
Thurs 5th July - Rio $235 (and possibly Rio $185)
Fri 6th July - Venetian Big Bounty $200 (and possibly Venetian $200 at 7pm)
Sat 7th July - Rio $235
Total Buy Ins = $3795The remainder of the $4000 budget will be used to play "filler tournaments". For instance, if I get knocked out of a 12pm tournament at the Wynn or Venetian then I may play a tournament later on in the same day such as a Caesars 4pm or an Aria 7pm. If I qualify for the Golden Nugget or Wynn main events via the satellites shown above then you will own the same % of me in the main events.
I will retain all proof of buy ins for inspection on my return (I will scan and email to all my backers) and I will post regular updates on this thread. Any funds from the $4000 budget not spent will be returned (along with the mark up).
I went to Vegas for 10 days back in November and sold 40% of my action (via AWOP and Facebook and to family members) and bought into tournaments totalling just under $4000. My total return from those buy ins was over $6500. I chopped a Venetian $200 Big Bounty tournament on day 2 for over $4000 and won over $2000 in a $125 Aria (chopped 5 ways I think). I can provide references from poker players who staked me during that trip if required, who can vouch for my honesty.
I won a Venetian deepstack in June 2011 with over 800 runners (a deal was done based on chip counts and I was a marginal chipleader) for $31k.
For those of you who don't know me I am primarily an MTT player and have had some success in the last couple of years including winning the DTD deepstack in May 2010 as well as the Venetian deepstack last year. Please see Hendon Mob for my full profile -
http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=98919. I feel that I have a decent edge in the tournaments I have chosen above. The majority of pros and competent players will be playing bracelet events at the Rio and other larger buy-in events, which from my experience makes these lower buy in "side" events very soft.
I am happy to accept $ or £ transfers on Pokerstars or £ by bank transfer. Details will be sent by PM. If you pay in $ then winnings will be returned to you in $. If you pay in £, then I will pay you back in £ using the $/£ exchange rate applicable the day after I return (9th July).
If anyone has any questions please let me know and I will answer as best as I can.
Thanks
Michelle
