It depends on what the offers look like. But yes, I'm definitely planning on investing more than the last couple of years...

Hi Marvin
A hard question...
What is your approximate timeframe for reviewing submissions.
Assume you make short list and then negotiate for final list.
It is so much better with just one investor, I'm telling people to wait until you and another big investor have made their decisions.

Thanks in advance
paul

I don't want to clutter Marvin's thread, so feel free to PM me if you're interested in discussing.

Thanks,

Especially for European players having Marvin there to buy in cash really does help a lot. When I did this with him two years ago he was really easy to deal with and kept good records and was available to do top ups very quickly. Extra strategy and dealing with just one person also helps but he also buys at slightly lower mark up than what people could sell for in the MP.

Nobody has licked this perfectly (or maybe at all). i was backed by one consortium to the tune of 25k one summer, and they had 20 horses. They tried to convene regular (ish) meetings to talk strategy, and talk about bigger issues, but only managed a few during the seven weeks.

If i were running a stable, i might make more of the opportunity of getting people together - almost like having a team of bond traders (which i used to have) - maximizing assets...

Having said that, any decent pro takes their learning very very seriously and is always talking hands everyday to improve.... which is FAR different than investment bankers.

When i've had 25 investors (horror), and wanted to make minor schedule changes, it has been a nightmare when 2-3 don't like the change (from a wsop 1k to a ventian 600 lets say)... i had 25 investors, and 6 different packages which is a monster pain at the end of the series.

Also - keeping 25 people happy with communications is a pain... the people who have $300 dollars invested were the hardest (strangely) wanted far more hand holding (when did you bust 1d, are you playing 2500 tomorrow... whereas the people who had 20k of my action had a lot of trust (were pretty chilled)

Hi Paul, Today is my last day in Malta (EPT) and I will have a bunch of time the next couple of weeks to look over the applications, so you can expect an answer within the next 3-4 days.

I am playing a full schedule myself which makes it hard to have regular meetings but I will consider a (weekly/biweekly) meeting during dinner break.

No matter what, if you see me in the hallway or anywhere else, you can always ask my opinion to a hand. You can shoot me a PM and I will get back to you ASAP. If you are going deep in a tournament I will come over and we can talk about possible strategies. If you are making day X of a tournament I will give you my assessment of the players at your table. There will be a Skype group to make communication easier as well.

The most practical difficulty is the only sensible time is morning, and morning and poker players go together like anti-matter and matter. (And sleep, exercise, and reasonable food are critical.)
