Intro / what I am selling:Hi guys, am looking to sell up to 40% of my SCOOP action in the Med / High events listed below (I may / may not open up 10% more a little later depending on how the run up to SCOOP goes for me).
4/5/2014 - Event 03 - H - $1050 [Turbo, Progressive Super KO]
5/5/2014 - Event 06 - M - $382 total - 4 Buyins, 1 Add On. [$82 Turbo, Rebuys]
6/5/2014 - Event 09 - H - $1050
7/5/2014 - Event 11 - H - $2100 [Super KO]
9/5/2014 - Event 16 - M - $509 total - 4 Buyins, 1 Add On. [$109 Big Antes, Rebuys]
13/5/2014 - Event 30 - H - $1050
14/5/2014 - Event 32 - H - $2100 [Progressive Super KO]
16/5/2014 - Event 37 - M - $615 total - 2 Buyins, 1 Add On. [$215 1R1A]
18/5/2014 - Event 44 - M - $1050 [MAIN EVENT]
Total Buyins = $9906 * 1.11043811 = $11000.
Why I'm good value:Throughout SCOOP, stars run numerous satellite qualifiers to all of the events, this therefore means that each tournament will have a lower % of 'regs' than daily MTTs of similar buy-ins due to more infrequent players being given a better chance to sat in (some of you may disagree with this but take SCOOP event 30 for example and compare it to a random Super Tuesday / Full Tilt 1k Saturday field - there will be a huge difference in standard of the field). Another reason the standard of field will be softer during SCOOP than for random similar buy-ins, is that more people (who aren't regs) like to 'punt' these over random weekly MTTs as they are much more prestigious, have big guarantees and large fields - meaning a really 'chunky' first prize.

^ Above are both my lifetime SharkScope player group (bottom) and my SharkScope player group from the last 6 months (top). As you can see, I have amassed around half my total lifetime profit over the last 6 months, however this only contains around 1/7th of my total volume. This is no co-incidence as it was around this time which I made a conscious decision to become more 'professional' about the game; dropping tables from 30 maximum to 8 maximum, studying / reviewing the / my own game more, game selecting better and only playing when I feel like I can play close to the best of my ability (no playing tired / hungover...etc). Over the 6 month sample of 1,000 or so games, I can comfortably say that this is the quickest / most I have improved over any of my other samples of similar 1,000 game size. I feel I can now compete comfortably with people at the top of the game, also having the advantage of being more hungry and motivated than a lot of these players due to not straining myself to play too much and only playing when as close to 100% as I can be.
Recent wins / near misses include:2x top 25 finishes in Sunday500 (19th + 22nd)
2x iPoker Sunday Major FT's (1st for $35k and 8th)
2x Stars Sunday $109+R FT's (6th and 9th)
12th Sunday Warmup
31st WCOOP Series $2k main - December 2013 (JJ < 77 aip for Final Table average)
54th WCOOP Series $2k main - March 2014 (QQ < KK vs Stato)
5th Bigger $109 (Sunday) for $18k (AJ < KJ aip for 40bbs)
3rd Big $109 (Weekday) for $20k (biggest chop 3 way)
A couple of top 50s in WCOOP
27th in Irish Open main event (AK s < JJ for 900k of 9mil in play).
Why buy:AbilityI feel I have a significant edge in these fields in terms of ability, both due to the vast amounts of satellite qualifiers / punters who 'flick in', as well being able to compete with those at the top of the game.
TrustworthinessI have played backed for the majority of my online poker 'career', over this time I have handled $x0,000 sums of backers money at a single time. Each time every penny has reached its owner within seconds of my requiring to do so.
I have also sold numerous packages on this forum, many of which have yielded returns. Those can be found at:
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=63462.0http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=63035.30http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=63506.0http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=62863.0...etc.
The Sweat ElementWhen selling pieces of either a package or a single tournament, unlike a lot of others, I update the thread regularly, meaning that investors can have a sweat and get 'more value' for their money. I have previously invested in people myself, only to receive no updates, to which I found very frustrating as I find it enjoyable to have a sweat. I try and be the total opposite of this. I'm also really happy to go through my thought processes of hands people find interesting (during tournament breaks...etc). Examples of this in a recent $2k WCOOP Series main include:
Thoughts on the KK c/f? I'd probs peel one off but yeh can just see me folding the turn loads so can see why your line is better but don't do it in game enough. AA hand also interesting.
@ AA hand its just really hard for me to have a hand which takes this line for value (from his point of view at least). I should be 3betting my nutted hands close to 100% vs this villain (or he should think). However when I bet turn this size then normal OTR after checking flop behind my hand is pretty face up to 'thinish' value vs his hand which is already pretty face up to marginal showdown at this point so expect folds close to 100% to a ~1/2 pot bet. However when I jam river kinda polarizes my hand, however hard for me to have the nuts therefore I should have a lot of bluffs compared to not many combos of value hands. In other words, I don't expect him to bluffcatch with his hand for less.
@ KK hand theres a few reasons, main one is that I just don't wanna play a huge pot out of position to 2 of the 3 opponents, with one pair, 4 way on a board texture which smashes there peeling range and where there are very few ideal turn cards. The pot is pretty bloated and the structure of this is great.
What a great thread with some cool HH. The k8 hand with 8 high board merged my head. Would be nice to hear your thoughts on each street.
Keep on heatering.
Basically what it came down to was the fact that my hand was never good after he bet the river that small after raising turn, the best hand he can have is a small / medium flush and various over pairs with a diamond which checks back the flop, whereas I can have all the houses / quads / better flushes. I felt the villain in the hand was competent and would be good enough to fold all the flushes he had (Meh if he has nut flush - but I don't think this checks back flop) as well over pairs. I assume he folded a bad flush as he tanked river pretty hard.
Looking to sell up to 40% of the above SCOOP schedule: Total Buyins = $9906 * 1.11043811 = $11000. (Potentially to open up 10% more depending on how the run up to SCOOP goes).
1% = $110
2.5% = $275
5% = $550
10% = $1100
40% = $4400
I'm going to keep this package exclusively on Blonde until 27/05/2014 (at which point, if I haven't sold out, I will open up via other sources).
Payment methods in order of preference: Stars, Bank, Moneybookers (Skrill).
*I reserve the right to unregister from any of the MTTs listed (which will be refunded with markup)*
Thanks for reading!
