Hey investors,

I've been playing poker professionally for nearly 4 years. Most of my play has been live NLH, followed by live PLO, then online PLO. I've been terrible with database management, and don't have any pretty graphs with large samples to post. I also have fear of posting such results for IRS-related concerns. Fortunately, I documented pretty much everything in my PG+C thread. That thread is a great reference for me. Basically I grinded PLO5 to PLO600 online and also play mid-stakes PLO live with a crushing hourly. Aesah, cushlash, doorbread, boliver, + many others can vouch for me if needed.

Live poker history:

I had good success playing NLH live in 2011/12. My hourly in second half of 2011 and 2012 was $37.67/hr. I would estimate the average bb to be 3.5bb. Before these ~1400 hours, my WR was ~$30-35/hr with ~50% of volume at $1.5/3(1/2euros).

1.5 years ago I switched my main game to PLO. I've grinded ~1.2k hours live, and ~600 hours online. Won doctor-like money last 2 years.

I played a heavy SCOOP schedule this year and do enjoy dabbling in MTTs and learning MTT theory. I occasionally fire up MTT sessions on Sundays.

I've made a few packages without payment issues. Done ~$50k in trades on the marketplace-- only positive feedback.

This is the plan: Play FTOPS in early Aug to improve mtt-game. Also watch RIO videos/study etc.

Play $2/5 / $5/10 NLH cash for a few days before the main to get more familiar with NLH live dynamics.

Play my best in main on Aug. 28, hopefully win monies. Tournament schedule is here

I'll be keeping half of myself in the main. It's a $5300.

$5300 x 1.13208 = $6000

1% - $60
5% - $300
10% - $600


I have American/Canadian citizenship and need to pay taxes on winnings. There is a 90%+ chance I will be making this trip, but things may fall through. Taking reservations until booked.

I can take BoA/USBank/Paypal/Cash

Bump!

I'm sort of sad that this isn't selling. The efficiency of small markets seems to always surprise me.

I'm not going to spend any more energy trying to sell this. 50% for me to play on August 28th.

Most likely will be playing the Day1C. Maybe Day1B.

Id like a 2% sweat if it becomes available, pm me if that happens. gl either way

Okay, 58th for $24,944.

I'm not sure on standard for payouts in this scenario. Is it standard to hold 30% for taxes? I will have to ask around and confirm.

I'm happy with my play, and glad to have a decent finish for investors!

No, have investors fill out a W9 (and I suggest copy of ID as well) and email it to you. This way at years end you can transfer tax liability. Good run.

Okay. I'm not well versed on this so I'm just going to do things as you suggest as this seems to be the standard.
