Hi
My name is Anthony Gaughan and I am looking to sell action to the Southern England Poker Challenge held in Reading tomorrow for £550, playing day 1a. I am looking to sell 40% at 1.17.
http://www.gentingcasinos.co.uk/club/reading/poker/special-events/ The estimated prize pool is £75,000.
I am a professional tournament poker player, taking the plunge after uni in the summer and it has been going well. The swings can be brutal but if you put in 20 tables a night like myself you can iron that out pretty quickly but I am used to the madness anyway as I have been playing for over 5 years now.
Below are a list of my sharkscopes:

Note this has me up in the region of $175,000. Maybe not quite got my head around the French sites being down $6.8k, but I am getting there.
On the live front here is my HendonMob -
http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=124220My most recent run was in the Irish Winter Festival that Julian Thew final tabled. I played some of the best stuff of my life. My value betting and value inducing check calling was pretty superb. My bluff catching too was on point and I felt in dominant mood. It ended in an unfortunate way though giving my chips to Mr. Thew coming in 30th, with QQ on a 389 board with about 50 bbs getting in, him having 333. I was 9th at the time and really had a chance of taking it down but overplayed that hand a touch but always learning and have now become a much better live player for it.
Aside from those listed there is also a £5k win that hasn't been put up as the Vic don't put up the results of their £330 monthly, but I am going there tonight to see if I can change that.
I have decided to ask for backing for live tourns £500 or over now to limit the variance and increase my experience at the same time by playing more and more. I think I have missed too many by avoiding them because of the risk and am now fed up by that and am looking to get backed in this nature a lot more if people are interested. I also am starting to really enjoy them which is another factor.
I am selling 40% at 1.17. I think the mark up is good value and is a reduction on my last request of 1.23 which did still get backing. 1.17 is still a little steep as well but hopefully there is interest as I believe it is still value.
So the pieces are 5% = £32
10% = £64
20% = £128
40% = £256
5% is the minimum request accepted.
I believe you would get good references of me from Bobalike, Greekstein, F3nix35, pleno1, Rupert and StuartHopkin, all of which I have sent money to, as per agreements, with no problems.
Thanks for reading! (A disastrous pun).
