I'm looking for a minimum of 2 horses for the World Poker Tour Shooting Stars Tournament at Bay101 on 5 Mar 2012 in San Jose, CA

Bay101 will be having a series of Satellites all throughout the month of February.

I will be looking to put at least 2 horses into Satellites for the WPT main event

The arrangement is as follows:

I will bear 100% of the cost of the satellite and if you bust out, you owe absolutely nothing. However, if you win a seat to either the Main Event or the $2K seat event (Mar 4th and 5th) then you will be obligated to play in those events.

If you cash in an event, then we will split the cash 50/50 once my satellite costs (to include my other horses) have been recouped. If multiple horses cash, then my satellite costs will be recouped by splitting the cost equally between the horses (this will favor whomever cashes at a higher finish)

So, lets say I have 5 horses which would be five satellites totalling $1,250

2 horses cash, horse A cashes for $30K and horse B cashes for $4k

$625 will come from each of their cashes to cover my satellite costs and then the remainder will be split between myself and each respective horse. So Horse A will recieve 50% of $29,375 and Horse B will recieve 50% of $3,375

If you win a seat but then are unable to play the Main Event (or $2k seat event) for any reason to include Act of God, then I retain ownership of the seat and can award it to anyone at my discretion.

REQUIREMENTS:
Must be a legal resident of the US 21+ years old
Must not be the subject of any legal actions or lawsuits
Must not have any liens against you
Must have a valid Social Security Number and two forms of picture ID and proof of residence
Must be able to play a Satellite on one of the following dates: Feb 17th, 18th, 24th, or 25th
Must be able to play in the Main Event (Mar 5th - 9th) or $2k event (Mar 4th-5th) if you win a seat.
Must sign a contract stipulating all of the above terms


What am I looking for?

I'm looking for online players that have decent track records online. I don't need you to be in the top 99th percentile (though that would be great), I just need you to be experienced with tourneys, especially MTTs and 180 SnGs.

Bonus points if you have some experience playing live so you won't be thrown off by the physicalities of live play.

You can either reply in this thread with your stats and screenname or send me a PM.

Basically, if you are a winning or break even player then i'd be interested in seeing your stats

EDIT: Changing the terms to:

Payback will be $500 off the top coming back to me to cover my risk/expenses and then 50/50 split.

wished I lived in san jose lol seems like a great deal

Are you willing to go multiple bullets in the re-entry satellites and are you willing to put people in the 500 weekend satellites?

At this time, no.

I've played the re-entry tournaments all the time at Bay 101 and the tournament plays more or less like a normal tourney. Most people don't re-enter so you don't get the same madness as a "rebuy" tourney since the re-entry is $250 a pop.

At this time, i'm not planning on putting anyone in the $550 tournies. I may change my mind based on results.

For instance, if a horse bubbles a $250 tourney I may take an additional risk and throw said horse into a $550 tourney. But at this time, i'm not planning on it.

I want to thank everyone for the replies, a lot of really really close applications.

If I haven't contacted you, then you did not make the cut, but I can't stress how close it was. There were easily 4 or 5 applicants who I'd love to sponsor if I had an infinite bankroll...
