With it probably being an ill timed proposal because of all the debate about unjustified markup, I have 18% left on my schedule that I'm playing in Vegas which I would like to open up to blonde. The community has a right to be unwelcoming toward unfair markup in order to protect the integrity of the forum but I think in most cases it's more marginally wrong than unfair. I think my own main event markup is high to be honest at the price of maybe shooting myself in the foot but I've been selling to a live market therefore made a compromise between the price I could sell at to the live market and what price an online market wouldn't raise an eyebrow at. For me it means being able to play more tournaments comfortably increasing my chances of winning and besides, the markup becomes irrelevant providing we bring it all home.
I wasn't sure if I would attempt to sell on blonde as I have only just crossed over the 300 post threshold. I thought I'd wait and see if I naturally make enough posts with enough time to spare. Most people here know me, I've played with most blondes multiple times at DTD or elsewhere therefore feel comfortable that people won't mind me making a proposal as a newly made Sr. member. This will be a big investment on my behalf mainly because of the main event which I've decided to play this year being as things are going well, and I can't guarantee myself that I'll be in Vegas next year or the year after with the chance to do so.
I've been playing MTTs for a while, at times only MTTs although this year I have focussed my attention more on live cash games and the transition has gone very well and it's because of them I'm in a position to go to Vegas for a little over a month this summer.

There are more accounts I've played on with either little profit or little loss but nothing worth showing.
My profits this year have primarily come from live cash games.
I am flying out on the 15th June and returning on the 17th July. I will be staying in a private home with other players away from all the distraction. Some of my house mates are playing schedules much bigger than mine, so I can reassure the focus on the task at hand.
