After skillfully bricking the Scottish Poker Series and also tragically missing out on hitting number 5 on the roulette wheel on multiple occassions, I am left shy of the £240 required to participate in the Genting Mini Festival this weekend (3rd to 5th August). Nb I am also missing the money to eat so if you want to send me steaks, that would also be good.
TournamentThe tournament is a 3 day event, 15,000 chips for £150 with a 10,000 chip £75 top up and £15 reg, so its £240 all in. We will take top up immediately and sit as deep as possible. 40 minute clock, so plenty of play and I would expect the £20k gtee to be smashed, the SPS got £50k although more heavily promoted, Genting tends to be more popular with the kids, so I would expect around £25k to £30k in the pot.
About MeI have a blog on here, I have been a winning local player in Edinburgh for 12 years and was also the second worst player in Luton for 5 years during an Edinburgh hiatus. I recently owned Celtic heads up at Luton to once again confirm myself as the second worst player. Admittedly I did have a 939393939:1 chip lead and flopped the nuts relentlessly. I play regularly and will have experience of a large proportion of the field. I have also no issue in dealing with these button clicking lunatics from the West who flooded the Maybury this week. The secret is turn the nuts, and then pile them in (dont let them know I told you that).
I have made day 2 and near bubbled the last two of these events. I also made day 2 of the previous SPS (and near bubbled) as well as day 2 of the Glasgow £50 £25k game (and near bubbled), once of my two attempts. I think this proves I can bubble with the absolute best of them. Or more importantly I am more than competitive in the field. I only have one result of note, but I do not play that many.

I have been staked on here before, I also embrace the community spirit and have regularly staked othes over the year or two. I am a financial professional (somehow) and grimming people is something I would never do, I am sure my mummy will happily vouch for my trustworthyness, she will also confirm I am ace at providing birthday cards and imaginative Xmas presents.
I will be playing this tournament sober, which may be an issue and playing on Sunday (day 1b) so if you are religous alcoholic lover, this may not be the one for you. Day 2 starts 6pm Monday and final table will be streamed.
What I am SellingI am selling 50% at spot which I think represents good value in an Edinburgh based competition. You would have no share of my attempts to hit number 5 on the roulette wheel following the tournament. Unless you expressly ask.
50% = £120
25% = £60
10% = £24
5% = £12
I can take bank or Stars (before Wednesday as need to cash out by weekend) - Rab90
Why I am Selling?If Pay = X and Spent this weekend = Y
2x-2y= X
Second BulletI may take a second bullet if I can nip like a pro at the casino and/or I find some money before Friday (my kidney is currently listed on fb and I am soliciting offers). This will only be done if I feel I am playing well and the reentry is at a sensible stack point, second bullet monies will not be requested until after tournament (as I trust you all), and anyone who confirms will be down as booked.
