First ever staking package i have done in my life so here goes. I am playing everything listed below whether i sell or not. Main reason for selling is i want to play every event (excluding PLO) to have a decent shot at the $15k leaderboard and £20k mini prize (for FT mini and main event) and investing this amount of cash for the best possible shot at the bonuses is slightly uncomfortable for the bankroll nit that i am. These bonuses give reasonable added value to the package and i think the amount of people who will be playing at least 4 events will be very small across the festival. Any leaderboard prizes/bonuses will be included in any returns on a % basis on top of the standard prize money.
For those who don't know me my name is Mark Wilson. I have been a professional gambler/sports bettor/arber/online stt player for the last 8 years as my sole income having previously worked for several online betting firms from 2001 as a senior trader/trading director included bet365. Between 2006-2011 i played over 100,000 mid-high stakes (£30-£1000) 6max reg/turbo/hyper turbo stts/double or nothings on betfair so i have probably as much experience of playing short handed tourney's as anyone in the field volume wise. I stopped playing online poker as a primary source of income in 2011 because the online stt scene was dying and it was literally reg's playing reg's all day every day. I am realistic and know i am not in the top 10% of the field talent wise in 2014 however i still feel i have an edge over a decent section of the field given my experience and the amount of effort sky/dtd have made to qualify as many of their customers as possible via the extensive sat programme that has been running for months on both sites.
http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=76257This is my Hendon mob for live events. The vast majority of the low buy in events at dtd belong to another Mark Wilson who plays at dtd and are not mine just for clarity.
I am present daily on tips of tikay thread on blonde and i am 100% trustworthy with large financial transactions as several of the more senior posters on the thread would confirm.
Proposed Package
Saturday 9 August £250 Mini Day 1c (1 re entry) - £500 If i win £1k main seat this will obviously roll forward to the main event and refunds issued as appropriate.
Sunday 10 August £150 rebuy sat for the high roller event - £300. I will be entering this at the add on break to make sure i get the double add on so £300 will be the fixed total buy in. I will not be buying in directly to the high roller if i don't win a seat via the sats. Pretty sure these sats will be overlaid and add additional value.
Monday 11 August £150 rebuy sat for the high roller event - £300 (If necessary) see above
Thurs 14 August £1k main event day 1c (one entry only)
Friday/Saturday 15/16th £500 turbo (if exited the main event - 1 re entry) - £1000
Sunday 17th August £500 hyper turbo (if exited main/turbo events) - I will not be re entering this event unless i have a legit shot at the leaderboard prize. If i do i will take the £500 out of the potential refunds from early non re entries. If there are no refunds left then i will consult stakers prior to re entering (obviously this is a highly unlikely situation)
Total value of the package £3600 @ 1.166 = £4200. Obviously it's a large outlay however it's highly unlikely there are not going to be some refunds due to the re entrys.
I am looking to sell up to 30% so as follows:
1% - £42
2% - £84
5% - £210
10% - £420
15% - £630
20% - £840
30% - £1260
Payment made by bank transfer only please. Any refunds/returns will be made via bank as well or cash at dtd if people prefer.
Please feel free to correct me if i have made any obvious errors. This is my first ever staking plan as i said earlier. If i don't sell out the 30% i will still be playing the whole schedule anyway.
Thanks for reading.
Mark
