I'm going to Deauville late January to play the FPS and EPT festival. I'm going to play the €10300 Hiroller and I'm selling 50% at 1.097 so 1% = €113 (£88.44), 5% = €565 (£442.20)

Why to Invest?

Experience

This will be my biggest buy-in to date. I have played 2 WSOP main events but I think they don’t really compare.

I have been to Deauville on two previous occasions and coupled with lots of experience of playing on french poker sites I believe that experience will be a major asset in dealing with the unpredictable styles of play there. I have played a handful of EPTs (probably played 12-15 lifetime) so I have experience playing in tournaments not too dissimilar to this as well as experience playing with many of the regs. So whilst this is my first 10k EPT Hiroller, I don’t expect it to be too different from things I’m used to.

In my last trip to Deauville I made day 3 of the FPS main, cashed a small side event and made day 5 of the EPT, finishing 11th for 41k . I was one flip away from a big stack at the final table, /moan.

So not only do I have a lot of experience playing in Deauville and vs the French, I also have experience going deep there, and playing for the big money.

Field Strength

I game select EPT stops carefully, I always skip the toughest ones, even London despite it being so close. I’ve chosen to play this as opposed to any other EPT Hiroller because I believe Deauville to be by far the best value stop on the tour. It is home to many rich locals, who owns yachts etc and another key point is that very few regs bother to travel to it because it is a major hassle to get there. So if I'm going to play one hiroller all year - this is definitely the one I'd chose.

There will be some of the top players in the world playing this so it’ll be a mixed field - table draw will be crucial. I’ve fared well in tough fields recently, winning the WPTN in Prague which was full of big name pros and much less recreationals than anticipated.

“FORM” and Confidence

In the last 4 months in live tournaments I’ve had two firsts, two seconds, and a fourth with cashes of €84k, €80k, £26k, €15k and €8k, with a total of $400k cashes in 2014. I’ve come 2nd in Europe and 1st in the UK in the GPI’s challengers cup, which is the GPI scoring system for midstakes live tournaments. So I’m full of confidence which really helps.

Conditions

I'll lock in the exchange rate at todays rate, €1.278 to £1.00 so 1% = £88.44. I can only accept Bank transfer, Stars / FT, or cash and payment must be made before the tournament starts.

Thanks for reading and flame away!

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots
