So far this summer my 2014 WSOP is off to a great start! I’ve cashed in three events already, including a 12th place finish in the $2.5k NLH event for over $30k. I’m selling pieces of myself at NO MARKUP to the $10k Headsup tomorrow at the WSOP. I believe I am +EV in this event, but have decided to run this package at no markup because I just really want to play. Will be keeping between 25-30% of myself, so I will be putting up between $2,500-$3,000 of my own cash in this event.

This event is tomorrow at noon(6/19/14) so please only reserve if you can send payment immediately. I strongly prefer cash at the Rio since the event is tomorrow but can take Boa, WF, QP as well.

Why the $10k Heads up?

For one I have always wanted to play this event. It’s such an amazing and prestigious tournament. To have an opportunity to challenge myself/take my shot would be a dream come true. This summer I’m off to a great start, and combined with the great year i’m having thus far, I’ve never felt more confident in my game.

I do have lots of heads up experience. For starters, I finished tied for 9th place in the $3k heads up NLH/PLO mix in the 2012 WSOP for $9,000. In that event I got really deep, and lost a grueling match to raptor but felt that I really held my own against one of the best players in the world.

Just last month, I finished tied for 5th in the SCOOP $700 Heads up NLH event for over $16k. I have played thousands of heads up SNG’s online, ranging from regular speeds to hyper turbos so I have an excellent understanding of how to approach heads up tournament play at differing stack sizes.

Lifetime on pokerstars I have played 4,851 heads up tournaments according to sharkscope, with total profit of $37,913 and average stake of $41.91 showing a 57% win rate. Of these games, 1,868 were regular speed games(slower structure) at average stake of $61.49 and my win/loss record in these games is 1102-766 for a 59% win rate. I mention the slow structured games only because they are more similar to the well structured WSOP, as opposed to an online hyper turbo. This can all be found on sharkscope by using the advanced filters on my screenname alohascott1.

A little about me in general: I’ve been playing full time for over 6 years now and this will be my 4th year playing in the WSOP. Some of my tournament accomplishments:

2014 - 3 WSOP bracelet event cashes already, including a 12th place finish in the $2.5k NLHE for just over $30k.
2014 - 3rd place in AZNPT Perth Main Event for $57,400 Aussie bucks(about $52k USD).
2014 - T5-8th in SCOOP $700 Heads up NL for $16k.

2013 - 6 WSOP bracelet event cashes, including a 12th place finish in the $1.5K PLO for $15,756.

2012 - 2nd place Venetian DSE $550 for $15,853.
2012 - Broke the single season record for most cashes on the WSOPC with 18, a record which still stands as far as I know.
2012 - Finished tied for 9th in the $3k WSOP heads up NLH/PLO event for over $9k.

2011 - cashed in the WSOP main event in 356th for $30,974

I’ve been selling action on the 2+2 marketplace for years now, and have always provided excellent updates via twitter, make it a point to promptly respond to investors, and always payout in a timely fashion. Last summer I sold a total of three different packages for the WSOP(2 for side events and one for the main). In last years packages I made numerous deep runs in bracelet events(including a 12th place finish in the $1.5k PLO) and had cashes totaling $45,589. I sold 70% of myself last summer, and promptly paid out over $32,000 to my investors.

06/19/14 WSOP $10,000 Heads Up No Limit Holdem

Total buyin = $10,000 at no markup.

Selling 70-75%

1% = $100
2%= $200
5%= $500
10%=$1,000

Payment information:


I prefer to accept payment via Chase Quickpay, Bank of America, wells fargo, or cash in Vegas. Since this event is tomorrow, strongly prefer cash at the Rio. Aso anyone with a piece of my prelim package can rollover since I owe you guys quite a bit already! I ask that everyone get payments in as soon as possible so I have time to access the funds prior to the event. If I do not receive full payment prior to the start of the event I will cancel your shares and refund you in full(unless I have confirmed alternate arrangements with you in advance).

I reserve the right to skip any event for any reason. I plan on playing every event in every package that I sell action for, but there may be circumstances that force me to skip an event(for instance still being in a prior event, a family emergency, or illness). In the event I do not play in a tournament, I will refund in full.

Taxes:


For US Citizens/residents you will receive your money in full, with no taxes withheld, provided that you furnish me with the required tax information. I will require whatever information is required by the IRS, including, but not limited to, a completed IRS form W9(including SS# or TID) and a copy of your identification. I will use this information solely for the purposes of transferring tax liability by issuing a 1099 for your share of any winnings. You are responsible for all state and federal taxes on your share of the winnings. In the event that you prefer not to provide the personal information that I request, I reserve the right to withhold up to 30% of your winnings to cover taxes.

For non US citizens/residents a 30% backup withholding may be required. This will depend on the advice of my accountant, but in the event a withholding is required, this money will be sent directly to the IRS and you will receive documentation so that you can attempt to claim this back from the IRS.


Payouts:


I will payout as soon as possible provided all personal information for taxes has been submitted to me. For smaller amounts, I will try to pay you out in the manner that you paid me, unless alternate arrangements are made. However, I reserve the right to make alternate arrangements due to transfer limits on WF, QP, BoA. Regardless I will do my best to work with you to get you your money as fast as possible.

I will not be sharing the proceeds from any type of sponsorship, freeroll, ring, bracelet, trophy, satellite voucher, dinner voucher, players of the series, or any other awards or casino comps resulting from participation in these tournaments. You also are not entitled to a share of prize money from tournaments that are not included in this package. You are only entitled to a percentage of the prize money that I receive from the prizepool in the events listed above. For each 1% of the package that you purchase, you will get 1% of the total prize money that I win in the above listed events. You will not be entitled to any form of makeup from future tournaments I play. When the tournament(s) in this package are completed, you will have no further right to any of my future winnings.

References:


Have tons of references including Vookenmeister, golfpro, mikeinNY, Benton Blakeman, maxxscam, kidrino. I have sold numerous packages here in the marketplace, and always keep a very good rail, communicate with my backers regularly, and payout promptly. I’m also confident that anyone that has bought action in my previous packages could verify that I run all of my packages in a very professional manner.

Updates/Rail:


I will be updating throughout the events I play on twitter. My twitter account is @sdaviespoker. I will at a minimum, tweet chip count updates on each break. I will also try and keep my table/seat number current on twitter so that I’m easy to find. I try my best to stay very active on twitter throughout the event to keep everyone completely updated and give a fun sweat. I will also accept a friend request from you on my personal facebook account and will give you my phone number if you want it so that you can text me. I will also post a copy of all tournament receipts to my twitter account.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me or send me a PM. Please reserve by posting here in this thread.

Just want to thank everyone for all the support. Between people wishing me well here, on twitter, fb, and the amazing live rail that showed up at the Rio this was an experience I'll never forget.

Also thanks to everyone that took a piece in this for giving me the chance to play this amazing event. Truly was a dream come true, and we got so close to that bracelet.

As for payouts, please bear with me for a few days. I won't be able to speak with the accountant until after the weekend, and I want to do payouts with his assistance so I don't screw up that tax stuff. Also am playing quite a busy schedule at the WSOP, so I don't have many days off. I will do my best to get everything processed in a timely fashion though. If anyone is in a huge rush to get paid out please send me a PM, otherwise I'll reach out to all of you sometime next week to make arrangements.

Thanks again everyone!

Nice score Scott. You were so close to the bracelet. I am pretty sure you could almost sense it on your wrist. I can feel it will happen this time.

Good Luck for the rest of the series.
