Aussie Millions Main Event 2014

[MC]

I managed to accidentally satellite into the Aussie Millions Main Event earlier this month. I was playing feeders into a satellite that was getting cancelled regularly, but this time it didn't and I won!

I will be playing Day 1C on the 4th of February.

This will represent the first $10k event I have played, but I have played a few large buy-in tournaments before. Once upon a time I played the $5k Heads up at the WSOP (2007). I came 10th in the £3000 English Poker Open in 2009, and last year played the €3000 ISPT.

Last year I had my best live result, finishing 3rd in the £1k Monte Carlo for £45k. I think that tournament was really good experience for dealing with big money jumps in a high pressure environment and I think I more than held my own. I'm just coming off another deep run at DTD finishing 15th in the recent GPS (sigh) and feel good about my live game even though I don't tend to venture much further than DTD these days!

I was unsure what price to sell at. Obviously I am inexperienced at $10ks and there are ongoing debates about mark-up yada yada. However I believe this is generally considered as one of the softest $10ks of the year, if not the softest aside from the WSOP ME, with tonnes of satellite qualifiers and punters Australians. I didn't realise it was a PokerStars event tbh but apparently it is. I'm putting in a bunch of time and effort to go and play the damn thing so I have decided to sell at a small mark-up. I'm fine with taking a punt if I don't manage to sell out any at the price I've gone for.

$10,600 AUD = $9227.30 USD at today's XE rate of 0.8705

I will be selling up to 30% at a mark-up of 1.084 to make it an even $10k. I might free up an extra 5% but will sell no more than 35% maximum.

So...
5% = $500
1% = $100
0.5% = $50 (I realise it could be an administrative ballache, but I'm happy to sell in 0.5% blocks should anyone want a mini-sweat)

or using today's XE rate of 0.606

5% = £303
1% = £60.60
0.5% = £30.30

Happy to take ££ to bank or $$ on PokerStars
