August 13th $215 buy-in sunday million

Shares
I'm selling shares for this sunday's million guaranteed tournament 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. The buy-in for this tournament is $215 Shares are $10 each. That is 21 shares total. I will cover the $5 difference. Funds to be shipped when shares are purchased so that all funds are available in time to register. This tourney paid out over $160,000 to first place last week.
Split is 50/50 with stakeback

Credentials
I am up over $1k on SnG's as verified by sharkscope. I have won 6 satelittes in the last month or so(all cashed out for T$ 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(twice), 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.

This Week
I Was staked in and Cashed the $150+12 for $422 in 34th place out of 600 on August 9th. I won a 2nd wcoop satellite seat to the $215 plus rebuys event last night. I also cashed today in the $22 buy-in afternoon event for $124.96, 15th of 568 players.

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 should pay out roughly $3810 for a win in this tournament. You will get a player who is completely commited to this tournament. I will play only one major tourney on Sunday and this will be it. I will be entirely focused and ready to succeed.

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.

count me in for one.

shipping $10 now

herschelw · August 13th, 2006, 12:26 PM

In the unlikely case that I am unable to play the mil. I will be sending cash back to stakers or you can roll the shares over for next week. I am reasonably sure that I will be able to play it. I need just a few more shares to make it happen and stakers tend to come through day of tourney. Also, two cashes in $20 buy-ins in the last two days. 15th and 45th if i remember correctly. They should appear on pokerdb.com shortly. Shares should be shipped to herschelw through pokerstars. Thanks for all of the support guys.

MicStephens · August 13th, 2006, 05:46 PM

Herschelw, I shipped you the $20 for my 2 shares. GL. BTW I will also be playing in the tournament so keep an eye on me *britbrit85ms* I took down a $10 MTT with 700 people in it 2 days ago and won mutilple satellites into the Million so I'm running pretty good right now. Basically I'm just saying that I've been pretty lucky over the last couple of days and maybe my luck will rub off on you

Play well and see you at the final table.
