wsop

also going to start a wsop fund, basically where people trasnfer me money to use towards my wsop events. i will designate $20,000 of tourney buyins that will be in this fund (probably main event + 4-5 smaller wsop events), so every 200$ will buy 1% of me.
I will then at the end add up all my total winnings from these events and transfer back to those who bought part of my stake.

i heard the norm is for people to take around 30% off the top for travel, time playing, expenses, hotel etc. , i don't think i will do 30% probly more like 10% - 15% or something, will have to look see what others are doing and what investors would be interested in as a fair amount. so if your interested please let me know as soon as possible as i'd like to get a ballpark how much people would like to buy.

I thought that you had won a seat already- guess am I mistaken?

yeah i won a seat for main event, that doesnt affect the wsop fund i am creating though.

Very funny considering your name.

yeah pretty ironic and shady...

lol yeah, my name isn't much help when requesting stakes. lol anyways no big deal ia have a few people interested, just thought i'd open it up for a few more in case theres any ftr'ers that wanted in on it.

I'm not even sure how you play, what stakes you play, etc.. Maybe I just don't hang out around here much.

He plays 0.05/.10 and the occasional WPT event.

lol

lol ive tried to stay away from cash games and focus on my tourney play for the last few months , cash games i normally play 15/30 and 20/40 limit and 1000nl, i played in 5 wsop events last yer cashing in one of them played in wpt reno event this year, took a real nasty beat at the hands of daniel negreanu to bust out i play most of the cpt events . and online i play any tournaments 50- 250$ buyins, overall since i started keeping track since the start of the year i am up about 60k i'm not really expecting any of the new ftr guys to want to buyin, but maybe some of the old schoolers that know me a bit better, to be honest i alreadt have quite a few people interested so its not a big deal to me now, but the offer is still out there.

Most of the posters here play $20 or $50 tournaments with maybe a $200 thrown in if we're feeling adventurous. I don't understand why you're asking us for staking arrangements.

im not asking the average ftr player, there are a few out there that have the roll to contribute to the fund, its not really a staking deal, i will play the tourneys regardless and use my own money instead if i dont get as many contributers as i'm expecting, but i am leaving it open to people in case they want to buy in to my fund, even if it is only for 200$ so far i have about 4-5 friends that are each going to contribute 500-1000 and have been contacted by 2 ftr members who each want to contribute, but am still looking for more.
