Staking for a shot at the $11 rushaments - SOLD OUT

Postby the_hawk » Nov 23 2010

So, after blowing you fine people's cash in the Mil, I thought 48 hours was about long enough before asking for more. :D

Regs will know that I've been going well in the 4/135 Rush SNGs lately; I've established an ROI of around 80% (fluctuating 75-100%) over 200+ tourneys in the 4s.

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/fu ... 0.html?t=2

I've been told the 11s are almost as juicy but am a BR nit and would like to propose a staking deal - unashamedly admitting that my primary purpose is to take a risk-free look, although I'm pretty sure I'm +EV. Being staked might help me iron-out some of the more egregious spewage as well... although I can't guarantee it completely :wink:

I'm proposing a series of 50 $11 Rush 135s for a total stake of $550. I'm offering this on a 80:20 basis in favour of the backers, with stakeback of course. Should I luckbox my way to doubling the stake or better, I'd like the deal to be 60:40 in the backers' favour for anything above $1000 in total returns.

As regards timescale, I'm off to Australia for a month in two-and-a-half weeks; I'd say it probably unlikely (although not impossible) the stake will be finished by then. I'll be playing a bit when I'm out there for sure, although it might be a bit irregular. So, all told it might be the middle of January before this is all wrapped-up.

I'd take pieces as little as 2% but probably best if we can mostly work in 5% chunks. Thanks for considering, and please state any interest below. Will deal with shipping details if we get interest.


INTEREST LIST
dank 5% - RECEIVED
kinni 5% - RECEIVED
art 5% - RECEIVED
Raisin 20% RECEIVED
mcon 10% RECEIVED
Mis 10% - RECEIVED
TP 5% - RECEIVED
hazey 10% - RECEIVED
fen 10% RECEIVED
jrs 10% - RECEIVED
mx 10% - RECEIVED

OK guys, please go ahead and ship at your leisure. I prefer Full Tilt but am perfectly happy to take Stars (and return on Stars) if that works better for you. (Raisin, our previous conversation still stands despite your upping of your stake).

hawk6789 (city G) on Full Tilt
hawk6789 (Guildford) on Stars

5% - $27.50
10% - $55
20% - $110

Thanks for this guys and I hope to make you some moolah. I doubt this will start before Sunday, but update / sweat thread with spreadsheet will be added prior to beginning. GL US!
