My Background
I live in Melbourne, Australia - I'm 26 years old and have a degree in Commerce and Law. I have been playing poker for 8 years now. At the end of 2012, I decided to put some time and volume into my online MTT game which has been met with some good results both live and online. I keep to a strong play to study ratio. I regularly discuss strategy with high-level players as well as belonging to various training sites. I have done HH reviews with coaches (QuadvQuadMe, abarone68, maxel100) and friends, as well as regularly using the ICMIZER tool. Now that I have finished my degree all of my time, energy and focus goes strictly towards working on and improving my game.
Why You Should Invest
I have a lot of experience playing live and feel very comfortable playing higher buy-in tournaments having played 5 $10k's and numerous $2-6k's. On top of that, I'm coming off my first two 'High Roller' events – one in the Sydney Champs which I chopped 3-handed with the chip lead for $70k - Thread can be found here:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18...nator-1466587/
Following these results I came 3rd in the ANZPT Melbourne $1k 6-max for $17,935 and then chopped 4-handed in the Poker SA Diamond Series Main Event, ultimately finishing in 2nd place for $28,205.
The ACOP is the premium tournament series held in Macau each year. This will be my first time playing in this exact series, but I have played in Macau earlier this year so I do have some idea how to play against the regs/recreational players I’m likely to come up against. I have spoken with numerous regs about what do expect in this tournament and I feel this is a very good spot - with a mark-up of 1.18 I think I'm definitely a +EV investment.
My Results In 2014
In 2014 I have placed a lot of focus on live MTT’s and have seen some decent results:
$2,200 ANZPT Perth Main – 2nd Place for AU$86,100
$5,000 Syd Champs High Roller - Chopped 3-handed with the CL for $70,277
$1,650 Aussie Millions Bounty Event – 3rd Place for AU$36,000 + $3,000 in bounties

In all of these tournaments I had either swapped or sold action to people and everyone was promptly paid with no problems.
I'm currently sitting in 1st and 3rd place respectively in the Bluff 2014 Poker Player of the Year Australasia (
http://www.bluff.com/news/mike-leah-...runners-60695/) and Australian GPI Rankings (
http://www.globalpokerindex.com/poke...-blatt-114798/). I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do an interview for Poker Asia Pacific discussing my year which can also be found here:

Payment
Please reserve your share in the thread and send funds ASAP as the tournament starts in 15 days. I will accept payment via Pokerstars (to blattsmullet), cash in hand (if I know you) or Paypal (if you are willing to cover the fees/exchange rate difference upon payout). My preference is to receive funds via Pokerstars as I will be buying into all tournaments through the Pokerstars client. Seeing as my winnings will be in $HKD, if I have to exchange the currency to something else for you to be paid out, you will receive the full amount after the currency exchange has occurred. I need to receive the money before the tournament starts for you to be booked!
The tournament is in Macau so there are no tax implications for any investors. Everything outside of the prize pool is my own. I reserve the right to decide whether to play or not play at my sole discretion. If event is not played money will be refunded with MU.
Thank you for your consideration and GL us!
