ITH Poker Forum

[philhux]

I am going to spend a week in London in September and play the English Poker Open and the WSOPE £1k event. I may also play some EPT side events but this is just a package for these two events.

Please use this thread to reserve your action if you definitely want a piece. You don't need to send money straight away but I need the money on or before Saturday 4th September.

I am posting the thread on there first, if I need to sell more action after it has been up 5-6 days then I play to post on 2+2 or chip me up.

I plan to sell around 50% of my action.

DETAILS
English Poker Open - Sat 11 - Tue 14 September - £ 3,500 + 250

WSOPE - Fri 17 - Tue 21 September - £ 1,000 + 75 No Limit Hold'em

I think there will be a lot of value in the EPO with satellite and freeroll winners. Whilst the £1k won't be as good as people say the WSOP ones are, I still expect a lot of value too.

£3750+£1075 = £4825

I will be selling action at 1.1to 1 - that's a 10% mark up.

4825x1.1= £5307.5

Exchange rate today on xe.com is £1 - $1.55153 so that's what I will use

5307 x 1.55153 = $8234.75 / 100 = $82.35

******So 1% of my action is £53.07 or $82.35********

Transfers to:
Stars: bergeroo (Birmingham)
FT: bergeroo - city B, cowboy
I can also take transfers on Absolute, Cake and most other sites - just pm me.

People from the UK I can take bank transfers or even probably a cheque if you send it early enough so it has time to clear.

---------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
A lot of people on the forum I have corresponded with but I will post info about me anyways.

ABOUT ME
I have been playing poker for a living for two years now and am a consistent winning tournament player. Mainly I have played online and have this year began to play a little live.

You can get all my usernames from My Pocket Fives profile and look up my ROIs on opr and sharkscope.

I also play quite a bit on euro sites which aren't tracked there.

I have won two euro Sunday majors (ipoker July 09 - $55,000), (Microgaming Jan 2010 $41,150). I have also won the early $100r on Stars, the nightly $162 on Party, final tabled the Sunday Warm Up, Bodog 100k (three times) and had many other tournament wins.

I played my first and this far only EPT earlier this year in Berlin where I shipped a min cash where I got my money in good .

I sold action for this here on the forum.

I also played UKIPT Nottingham this year, again building a stack and getting deep into day two before losing a flip for a decent sized stack.

And I satted into the WSOP main event where I busted quite late on day three as a big favourite and felt I played great for three days. (I will do a trip report soon I promise). I also played a $1k side event where I didn't get anything going.

I feel like I play really well live and really enjoy it. The three deep structured tournaments I've played so far I've managed to get a healthy stack on day one and put myself in good positions to go deep.

I am selling action because I am basically a bankroll nit and live buy ins could really add up if I hit the live circuit more.

OTHER DETAILS

Each piece you buy is solely for money I win in the tournament itself and not for any endorsements or other benefits I receive. I will not take money for a tip or for expenses out of your winnings. You buy a 1% share, you get 1% of my total winnings.

Exchange rates
I am going to use the exchange rate on XE as of right now as the base rate for the £/$ exchange. For payouts I will use the rate on XE the morning after I bust from the WSOP £1k.

Payouts
In the event of a small score I will likely pay out through either Stars or Tilt - whichever you transferred me the money on. For a bigger payout I will likely want to pay out people from the UK via cheque or bank transfer. Others I will pay out online but there may be a delay of a few days whilst I move money around.

I am British so I don't have to pay tax on my winnings.

Updates
I should be able to update after the day of play. I will also try to feed updates to my friends who post on here, or if someone in the UK who buys a piece wants to send me their mobile number I can text them and they can relay the info on to the forum.

In the event I don't play one or both of these events, the portion of the stake including the mark up will be returned as promptly as possible.

Hope that's everything it all makes sense and the calcs are correct. Please tell me if they aren't or ask any questions below or PM me.

I can do both Stars and Tilt, whatever you prefer.

Thanks Willem!

Booked.

I had a score on FT last night so am ok for cash there for now, so if you were planning to wait to transfer I'll let you know at the end of next week which site I'd prefer, or you can just choose yourself.

[Willem]

Sure, I don't mind waiting until next week. Just PM me when you have decided what site you want me to transfer.
