Hi everyone! My name is James Whittet, I've been a professional player for going on 4 years now primarily playing on FTP under the sn BigGamesJames. I've won an FTOPS (4x 6max shootout for 61k) came third in the 2010 Venetian DSE main for $52k. Those are my biggest scores to date. I've also had a lot of smaller scores online, including winning a Main event shootout, the 23k gtd, 4th in the $50cubed on a Sunday. I also play a lot of SNGs, winning more money in both the $200-$2k STEPS and the $200 super turbo 9mans on FTP in 2010 than any other player. Links for a complete list of my mtt scores can be found here:

99.88% OPR for 2010
Hendon Mob
Bluff Magainze

Currently living on the Gold Coast of Australia post black friday. I'm mostly grinding hyperturbo SNGs on stars atm. I don't have a lot of results on Stars since I always kept my roll on FTP (whoops!) but I did final table the second chance from my Melbourne hotel room while I was in town for The Aussie Millions last year. I've sold packages on 2p2 before with always prompt payout and lots of updates. Links to those packages below.

Jupiter's Gold Coast Championships
WSOP 2011
Aussie Millions 2011
WSOP 2010

If you look through my packages you can see I always update my investors both ITT and through my twitter (@JamesBigGames.) I haven't been fortunate enough to run well when it counted in a lot of good spots I put myself in live, but I mostly focus on trying to control what I can control. You can look through the reports if your interested, but I've always seemed to get a fantastic spot for myself to double up with way the best hand and lose. However, I just keep putting myself in those good spots and I'm confident I'll be on the right side of variance one of these times. I have a very zen-like approach to poker. Meditation helps with that.

Here is my schedule. Please note you can play the opening event 3 times, if you don't survive day 1 on Thursday, you can enter Day 1 flight 2 on Friday, if you bust that you can enter day 1 flight 3 on sat. Day 2 is Sunday. I want to have enough $ for all 3 bullets, but obviously any unused bullets will be returned w/ markup to investors.

Opening Event - NLH Day 1 Flight 1 Thu 12 Jan '12 - 7:10PM $1,100 (1,000+100)
Opening Event - NLH Day 1 Flight 2 (Repechage) Fri 13 Jan '12 - 12:30PM $1,100 (1,000+100)
Opening Event - NLH Day 1 Flight 3 (Re-Repechage) Sat 14 Jan '12 - 12:30PM $1,100 (1,000+100)
NLH Shootout (2 Day Event) Tue 17 Jan '12 - 12:30PM $1,100 (1,000+100)
NLH - 6 Handed (2 Day Event) Thu 19 Jan '12 - 12:30PM $1,100 (1,000+100)
Feature Event - NLH (Bounties) Day 1 Sat 21 Jan '12 - 12:30PM $1,650 (1,500+150)
Aussie Millions Main Event - Day 1 Flight 1 Sun 22 Jan '12 - 12:30PM $10,600 (10,000+600)
NLH 6 Handed (2 Day Event) Fri 27 Jan '12 - 12:15PM $2,500 (2,250+250)
Turbo NLH Cubed Sat 28 Jan '12 - 12:15PM $1550 (500+50 +500 rebuy and +500 addon)

$21,800 total buyins * 1.25 = $27,250

Preffered methods of Payment are via Pokerstars [send to TheDrunkLife (Australia)] Neteller, a wire to my Aussie bank acct or cash at the Crown in January. I can also take Chase Quickpay, Amazon Payments or Paypal, but these methods need approval by PM. I'm not sure how much time it will take me to move the $ from those methods into my Australian bank acct, and it might incur some small fees. Pokerstars and Cash in Aussie much preferred but I know those aren't options for US residents. The exchange rate is one USD gets you only .985 dollars atm. I will cover the difference to keep things simple, just be aware that means the MU is slightly less than listed I'm also covering flights to and from Melbourne and 2+ weeks of accommodations. As someone who has played in this series before, I can honestly say it's well worth it for me to foot these expenses. The Aussie millions last year was the softest event I've ever played. My tables in the WSOP ME the last 2 years have been tougher than my tables at Aussie Millions. Might be variance, but this series is very high value compared to PCA which I believe draws a much tougher field.

I lived with James for a few months in Vegas. Very reliable. If I was staking, I would invest.

reserve 5%

2%, but I'd need to ship via Chase QP or PayPal.

Cool ty, and I got your PM about the payment

That's cool. Since I'll have to get it xfer'd over to my Australian acct the sooner you can send the better, but it's not a problem at all, I'll PM you payment details.

James,
Reserve 30% pending PM.

Just wanted to say that while I don't know OP, I played with him for a bit at WSOP this summer and I was impressed with not only his skill as a player but his ability to focus on everything going on at the table. I think this is a good buy and if I were in the position to buy a piece I would.

Booked

Thanks man, appreciate the compliment. Yeah I'm always keeping track of how many chips are in each stack and each pot and how the chip distribution at the table changes from hand to hand, not to mention how often people are opening/3betting/cbetting ect... Seems really important to always know that stuff and there's no computer screen to display it
