Hi, my name is Alan Chern and I am looking to play the $1500 WSOP Mixed NL/PLO event, a $1500 NL event, and up to a $225 sng (most likely a $175 buyin with $50 bounties/last longer). I will not re-enter these events. If I make day 3 of the Mixed NL/PLO event, I will very likely to skip the NL event. I am looking to sell 50%, with 20% reserved for friends/previous investors.
I am a full-time financial manager but poker is a serious hobby. Recently, my poker volume has been exclusively live. I mainly play NL/PLO cash, with some mtts. I feel very comfortable in a live setting, limiting my own tells as well as gathering reads on others. In the past, my online play played focused turbo mtts/sngs and PLO cash/mtts, although I mixed in some stud/8 and NLHE cash as well regular speed mtts.
About 5.5 years ago, I started talking to several pros/former pros including phishman420, lilfishatl, pokeflute, zachvac, and mikeofreak. I learned a lot from these great players and have been using my knowledge I have gained on a regular basis. I have also known former pro Joedeertay since high school and we have discussed endless poker strategy. Additionally, I regularly watch training videos (mainly about MTTs and PLO cash) and discuss hand histories with friends to improve my game and keep up with the current trends. I feel as if I have improved quite a bit in applying GTO play into my game when applicable, in addition always fine tuning exploitative play that is often optimal in live settings.

These tournaments provides plenty of value. There will be large fields of players, many of whom will be amateurs. I can attest that there was good value in the WSOP Mixed NL/PLO event during my 24th place finish in the inaugural event. In addition to the amateurs, most of the players in the field were clearly better at one of the games, providing an advantage to those who play and study both games regularly. The NL events throughout the WSOP provide plenty of value due to the popularity of NL holdem. The $1500 events provide an excellent structure that allows for plenty of play in order maximize our edge. The WSOP sngs at the lower levels are filled with players who have no concept of the push/fold strategy required to do well in these fast structured single table events. In the packages I have run, I have chopped 2, took a small loss on 1, and busted one sng.

Live Cash: I haven’t kept very good records recently, but here is a summary of games I mainly play since I started playing live through the middle of 2016:
2-5 NL: $27.95/hr over 453.5 hours
2-5 PLO: $48.54/hr over 42.75 hours
5-5 PLO: $166.50/hr over 116.5 hours
Recently, I have played the most hours at 2-5 PLO and am quite certain the hourly has increased quite a bit. Most of my 2-5 NL volume before 2014, where frankly, I wasn’t that good. Since then, I have won $71.50/hr over just 93 hours as I would only really play NL when waiting for PLO. Recently, I have played some more of this game as I feel the difference in my relative edge isn’t as large between NL and PLO as the overall skill of the PLO player pool has increased.

Around game 625 is when I started playing seriously and had a pretty nice swing in 18s, 45s, 180s, and mtts(turbo and plo). The downswing near the end was a bad run in 6.5 18s and 2.2 180s.

This graph does not capture 2 freerolls I did well in. I got 4th in a US Relief Freeroll for $900 and cashed in a freeroll where they awarded the top 10% ish $100.
Previous packages:

This package from last summer went well as I made a deep run the NL/PLO event and promptness of payment.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18...98/?highlight=
This package from 3 summers ago went quite well. The package included the Wynn Classic run, where I felt comfortable throughout, and a WSOP sng that I chopped 4 ways for $500.
