Hello!

This is the first staking thread I've done for a while, and it is a bit of a long shot. However, given the fact that this tournament is likely to be the best event ever held in this country, I think it's worth a go.

The Proposal

I would like to sell 100% of my action for the upcoming wpt500 at an 80/20 split in the backers' favor, so 10% is £50.

Why buy?

As many of you will be aware, I am currently basically busto. Obviously this isn't a good start to any staking thread, but since January of this year I have cast aside some of my preconceptions and a lot of my ego, and have been studying pretty hard. As a result, I've ground my way up from online 10nl to 50nl, and have had some live tournament successes, including a 4th place finish in a WPT125 and deep runs in a Grand Prix and the Goliath. I feel that my improved work ethic is helping me improve consistently, and I hope it's only a matter of time until I'm back playing at the level I was a few years ago. This particular tournament will be incredible, with a field containing a wide range of ability, a huge prizepool in relation to the buy in, and a reasonable chance of overlay.

My hendon mobs (all cashes are mine except the WSOP ME cash)

If anyone would like any further stats, please feel free to PM me.

I will be providing updates throughout the tournament, which will hopefully be to at least half the standard of the recent "prawnidentity" threads.

IF BY SOME MIRACLE I WIN A SEAT TO THE £3k, ALL %'s WILL CARRY OVER TO THAT COMP.

Would take 30/40% if you change your mind and decide to sell at spot.

Just out of interest why do you consider it likely to be "the best event ever held in this country"?

is this a big lets ruin matt's thread party?

It's a good op and deserves a lil action. I'm in for £50 to have 8% assume %s roll into the £3k if you get a seat right?

Unfortunately, my financial situation is such that I cant really justify putting £100 into a poker tournament (pretty much everything except the goliath that I've played this year has been from a satellite win). Being alive is surprisingly expensive :p

Just out of interest why do you consider it likely to be "the best event ever held in this country"?

Because of the huge prizepool relative to the buy in, a 7 figure guarantee for a 3 figure investment is something I've never seen before (I may be wrong). As a one off "punt", this has got to be one of the most exciting events ever held.

My fault for putting up a thread at this sort of mark-up, although I think it's worth a go!

Ty, booked Smiley Will try and edit OP to include the seat, forgot about that bit, will definitely be included!

Edit to OP if at all possible -

If we are fortunate enough to bink a 3k seat, any investments will roll over.

Having playing seven levels today I will agree there will not be a softer million pound prize pool in the uk ever than this. The only downside is 15% of the prize pool goes into an event which isn't going to be Grand Prix standard based on today's field

In for 10% please
