Hello fellow Blonde Poker friends.
You may or may not know me, but for those of you unsure, my name is Liam Batey and I've been a member of blonde for over 4 years now and I am heading out to Vegas for 4 weeks on June 19th till July 17th.
This will be my second Vegas trip after an amazing trip last year where I shipped a Rio Deep-Stack for $35,000 within the first week of the 6 week trip which set me up brilliantly. Due to the big tournament win early on, I just concentrated mostly on playing cash for the rest of the trip after finding a nice 2-5 game at the wynn and sold on here for the Main Event unfortunately my run ending on day 2.
This year I have decided to give the main event a miss and concentrate my schedule on the many side events happening during the WSOP.
I have had a brilliant start to 2014 in tournaments and having day 1 chip leads in more than half the tournaments I've played in 2014 is pretty insane.
My results since Feb 2014:
27th place in the £1k UKPC for £4,250
4th place in the March £500 DTD Deepstack for £10,000
3rd place in £250 DTD 6 Max for £4,250
17th place in the April £500 DTD Deepstack for £1,700
1st place in £250 DTD 8 Max for £8,250

If you choose to invest in myself, you can rest assured that I will dedicate 100% of myself to doing the best I can in each and every tournament I play. I don't drink and don't really go out partying so don't worry that I will be out drinking all night and be turning up with hangovers on these early starts or late regging anything. I will be there bright and early and hungry to do well.
I've been involved in high level sport from a very young age and its been drummed into me to give 100% in everything I do, and with you guys behind me, I will try even harder.
I have included a modest mark-up varying individually for each tournament due to field size/potential payouts/skill level ect... to cover my travel and accommodation expenses. With me being the first to post on here I guess I am setting the bar for this years mark up discussions and for people to under cut me. However, hopefully you have faith in me to invest
PAYMENTS:
I will require payments before I head out to Vegas via bank transfer or cash, going to try to minimise cash in Vegas by doing the thread early because Vegas can be a big place and we may not see each other and my schedule begins on day 2 of the trip, and don't want the hassle of trying to meet up with people.
If I can receive funds before June 16th that would be brill
CLAUSES:
If for any reason I do not play any of the below events due to illness, plans change ect ect I will let you guys know asap and give you refunds - There will more than likely be refunds if I make day 2 earlier in the Venetian Main Event and if I make Golden Nugget Day 2.
I will keep tournament receipt's for an audit trail if needed.
TOURNAMENTS:
I plan to sell 30% of my action in the following tournaments and keep 70% of my action as I am feeling pretty confident on the back of the last few months heat. I will be playing the whole schedule regardless of selling out or not and I will be playing cash and some other small fun tournaments like the daily deepstacks, Wynn 500's and the WPT at Aria however I wont be selling any action for these.
I have planned my 4 weeks so I get adequate rest inbetween comps.
