CambridgeAlex Prague Package

Hi guys, I've put together a package for the Prague Poker festival in December. I attended this last year and will be my 3rd poker trip to Prague so I am familiar with the set-up there. The festival will be very well attended with all events getting plenty of runners so lots of chances for a 6 figure score.

I feel I'm really in the zone right now and am feeling really confident off the back of 2 back-to-back wins in smaller events for 10k and 8k this month, a 5th place in a Colombian event in August, a deep run in a world series event in Vegas and a victory in the Spanish open in Marbella in April. As well as last years £77k and £22k scores in back to back DTD Monte Carlos. All of which can be listed here: http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=186500

So I'm taking a bit of a shot here and playing the EPT and the WPT and I've added in 3 smaller events to reduce my buyins, and lower variance for backers. I've asked friends about what markups to charge and these reflect not only my perception of the field strength but also field size (EPT and WPT will get huge numbers making ROI higher). I felt really comfortable and confident in my first EPT I played in Campione earlier this year. I feel the fields are not that tough and it will get tons of runners so I will present good value in this despite not much experience at the 5k level.

Notes
(1) The Kings 1k is the first event of the festival, held in the Corinthia hotel where we stayed last year and are staying this year and is also where the WPT is held. It's an excellent casino and will be a popular event - 20k stack (start at 25/50), 30 min clock. Eureka is a pokerstars event which I played in February 2011 and have played legs in Slovenia and Riga before and is excellent value. Disclaimer: [X] never cashed Tongue

but Keith won last years, Sam was 2nd in Riga and Mitch has made SEVERAL min cashes so it's my turn soon Cheesy

(2) The GSOP is at the end of the festival, is a $1500 buyin, I've converted to euros so it's in the same currency as the others. This is the event I am most likely to skip because I might've gone home, might have poker fatigue etc. The other 4 I am almost 0% to skip, I don't think it's possible for day 3/4s to clash either since they are spread out over a 2 week period.

(3) Payment via stars, bank transfer, cash or moneybookers in that order of preference. I am well placed to get a very good conversion rate back should we be so lucky to win

(4) I have a very professional approach to this sort of thing, when people have put their faith and money in me, there's no way I will be out drinking or have a late night for any reason the night before a days play.

(5) If I happen to play the 100euro scrabble side event, you'll all have a like-for-like % freeroll.

(6) This offer in (5) is more or less worthless.
