Shares
I'm selling shares for the daily 9:10pm $150+12 on pokerstars. I will register for the tourney when all shares are sold or enough shares are sold that I comfortable buying the rest of the shares myself. Shares are $10 each. That is 16 shares total. I will cover the two dollars difference. Funds to be shipped when shares are purchased so that all funds are available in time to register.
Split is 50/50 with stakeback

Credentials
I Was staked in and Cashed the $150+12 for $422 in 34th place out of 600 on August 9th. Up over $1k on SnG's as verified by sharkscope. I have won 5 satelittes in the last month or so(all cashed out for T$ or sold). This can be verified on tournament reporter since pokerdb doesnt track satellites. Satellites won in the last month or so are as follows: $535 to the sunday million, $215 to the sunday million, $370 to the WSOP 150 main event seats guaranteed satellite, $215 to the wccop rebuy event, another $215 to the sunday million. I am ranked in the top 2.5% of all online players by tournament reporter. Please note I have played few online mtt's until very recently and I have focused on satellites because I can usually dominate them. Thus you will find few stats on me at thepokerdb. Check tournamentreporter.com for best info on my mtt game. Prior to recently turning my attention to MTT's. I spent from the middle of last year until about 3 months ago focused on developing my cash stud game, starting from a $200 bankroll I moved from 2/4 to 3/6 to 5/10 and then to 10/20 making and cashing out almost $6,000 in the process.

Moneymaker Million
Most importantly in terms of credentials, I have qualified for the live final of the Moneymaker Million in the Bahamas. I beat out a field or almost 8,000 players in round one(top 50 get round 2 seats), then 1,000 in round 2(top 240 get round 3 seats), then 500 in round 3(top 5 get seats in final) to get to the final.

Playing style
My style of play is very unorthodox. What most would term loose aggressive, although I adapt to the table I am on. In terms of name players it is similar to an Ivey or Negreanu type of style. I offer this description so that those who buy shares understand that my style of play focuses on building a big stack early rather than playing the traditional tight aggressive style. This means great finishes or early busts. Staked players will over the long run lose their backers money if their style of play puts them in a position where they are just barely in the money most of the time. One final table will easily pay for a couple early busts. This is why my style is +ev for backers.

Why this is a good value for backers.
Each $10 share would pay out around $800 for a win in this tournament.

Why take backers?
If a player has a consistently winning style and a reasonable bankroll then why take backers? In my case this is a move up a level for me to a larger buy-in. I have played in tourneys with players who consistently play at these levels(gank, johnnybax, etc.) and I know from that experience that I can hang with them. Secondly, when I take cash out of my bankroll I never put it back in. Therefore my bankroll isn't that large. I also have moved money to a staking fund I have set up with a few other players that we will use to stake solid up and coming players here at neverbeg.

Questions?
I'm pretty sure I have been very thorough, but if there are any questions I am happy to answer them on this thread or by pm. For moderators: Yes, I sent the $5 to neverbeg to post here.

Top 33% is nothing to scoff at (from yesterday ofc), and neither is being able to admit to a mistake and bounce back. I wish I could just set up an automatic daily shipment to your account lol, I know it'll be profitable.

The usual 1 share for me.

gaoutlaw13 · August 10th, 2006, 04:17 PM

I will take another 1 share today also. Good Luck. Shipping it now.

fishin4aces · August 11th, 2006, 02:24 AM

so hes out?

ColonelPoker · August 11th, 2006, 03:12 PM

What happened man? I'm guessing/hoping a super bad beat, because you dropped super early.

fishin4aces · August 11th, 2006, 04:05 PM

Yup not good....

herschelw · August 11th, 2006, 05:25 PM

Played my typical aggressive game tonight. Had a 4-flush with a pair on the first hand, put my opponent on AK or Ax. Thought there might be a chance that he had JJ or QQ. He ended up having QQ and my flush did not hit. Had AQs the 2nd hand and one of my opponents flopped quad 10's and busted me. I only had like 600 chips going into the 2nd hand. I feel that I played the first hand well and would play it the same way again. If my flush hits I bust the guy and am sailing deep into the tourney. My style is to take this kind of risk early in a tourney because my game is fantastic when I pick up a big stack early. Wish it didn't end the way it did but you can't have a great start every time. I expect to bust early in 1 out of 3 or 4 tourneys. Thanks for all of the support.

I don't mind that at all... hell, you're probably a favorite (or close to it) on the flop with the 4-flush + pair. GG, I can't wait until that flush hits and you go on to crush the rest of the field, you definitely know your stuff.
