I'm Dusty Leary. I'm 32 years old, a professional programmer.

I'm not a pro poker player by any means, but I do all right. I like MTTs, particularly mixed games.

I had a decent score at the WSOP last year, which was the first time I attended.
Last year, I sold 50% to friends of mine. This year, I would like to take a swing at the $10k HORSE, and I'm looking for some outside stakers.

Event #17: June 10th $1,500 HORSE
Event #23: June 13th $2,500 Eight Game Mix
Event #29: June 16th $2,500 10-Game Mix
Event #32: June 18th $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em
Event #37: June 21th $10,000 HORSE

$18k buyins + $2k airfare+hotel (11% MU) = $20k total.

1% is $200

My friends (and me) already got what we want.

32% remains.

Cash/check/bank transfer/paypal.

No nibbles...

Is it because I'm not a good enough player?

Or because I don't have reputation / people vouching?


One of those is fixable more quickly than the other

11% markup is high for anyone for an event that includes a 10k that isn't the main. then you go on to say you are not a pro, and you post almost breakeven results... so yeah, it's a markup issue.

It could be a bumped-after-half-hour issue

oh sorry for responding as i did then, i didn't look at the timestamps.
