Hi everybody,
my name is John and i play on stars as Shamwoww, jsham23 on FTP/party, shamj23 on 888 and Shalowwn1703/jsham23 on iPoker.
I'm going to be playing the $330 opening event at Sydney's STAR Casino Sydney Championships flight TWO. This is going to start at 6:15pm local time just after all the businessmen and women finish work so it's going to definitely be soft. I would compare it to something like the Big $11 on stars in terms of difficulty. As a flighted tournament, if i survive the day 1 i will be playing on Saturday's Day 2 with the same stack. They are 30 minute levels with 10,000 starting stacks so there is plenty of room to play.
I used to work at STAR Casino as a dealer for 3 years, so i'm very familiar with the field that will contain a lot of bad regs and recreational players.
My year to date graph:
I won the Sunday Challenge $90r on 888 for $22,400 last month as well as the Hot $22 for roughly $4,000 and earlier this year chopped the Ceratops on a Sunday on FTP for $6,000.
I've been staked by Blakkman08 on 2p2 (t8ofdiamonds on stars) as well as Global Staking. Any references needed i can get for you.
Recently been playing more cash games and sharpening up on pre flop ranges in order to improve my game so i'm feeling pretty good heading in to this tournament. I will be playing it 100% so even if i don't sell out, your % will count.
AUD$330 = US$307.835 using xe.com.
307.835 x 1.3MU = $400.1855 but $400 for ease.
5% min = $20
25% = $100
75% = $300
