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.

Here are the links to the events:

Live:

I have played many hours of live in a mixture of NL cash, PLO cash, mtts, and sngs in that order.

MTT:

Hendon Mob:

24th in WSOP $1500 NL/PLO for $6,820
17th in Parx $330 Big Stax for $3,470
51st in $550 Wynn Classic for $1,526
Chopped Parx $120 for $1,449
3rd in Sands $200 for $1,425
20th in $235 WSOP Deepstack for $805

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.

FWIW, I'll probably sell a little less than 50% and will likely play regardless.

Just for the sake of transparency, I've only played around 6-7 tournaments/year throughout the years. Last year, I did play a few more than usual. Thus, I'm fairly certain that I have respectable ROI and ITM %s throughout my tournament history,

Just wanted to post and confirm I told Alan I'm taking 5%. Good poker player, trustworthy guy (thought does love to talk ... a lot), but even though he's a recreational player I think this is a +EV summer spot. GL.

5% because of the mikeofreak endorsement.

Thank you sir. My generally friendly talking did tilt a guy during Monster Stack last year. I'll just chalk to up the decent pot I won off him shortly before, no malice at all.

Sweet, knowing Mike certainly has its perks! Reserved, thank you for the interest!

Hoping the Legionaire's Disease issue at Rio isn't a big deal as I'm also staying there lol. Should be ok given I'm not in any at-risk categories and won't be there for a couple weeks, so at most would only change hotels. Will let investors know if anything changes.

Would like to sell a little more, but am taking all remaining action before the event (or sooner).

Would close action, but still waiting on a couple of payments, so wouldn't mind selling a couple more %s. If anyone wants the rest, I will give 50% discount on original markup on top of any discount based on previous relationship (aka no markup if you already get a 50% discount on markup). Obviously not going under 1 MU.
