Hi all,

My name is Kyle Cheong. From the beginning of 2008 until mid 2010 I have mainly played online mid-high stakes 6max NL cash under the name yummytt on Full Tilt. Between Oct 2010 and mid this year I have been playing live in Macau and also heads up and rush poker online before FT shut down. Recently, since traveling to Vegas for the WSOP I have caught the tournament bug and I'm planning a trip to Europe to play EPT London (won a package online), WSOPE, EPT San Remo and maybe WPT Amneville.

Online cash game results: (Tableratings did not track my results from playing HU and rush poker this year)
Full Tilt – yummytt
Hands: 694,047
BB/100: 4.19

I am extremely motivated and confident in my tournament game at the moment. I have taken the time to master tournament math recently and combining that with the hundreds of hours of live poker experience I have gained over the past year and my online shorthanded cash game background I feel I have a huge edge in these live tournaments.

This is also not the first time I am playing large live tournaments. I played several large events in 2009 (APPT&APT Macau, WSOP, EPT London, Aussie Millions) with no notable results other than a 19th at APPT Macau after being chip leader for most of the tournament. Back then I was doing well at online cash and I would just think ‘lol donkaments’ and play without putting much thought into them. I made many huge errors because of live tourney inexperience but I would chalk it up to variance and not realize it. Recently, since I have put a ton of thought into my tournament game I feel like my game is on a whole new level. I've had multiple 'aha' moments and I feel like my eyes have really been opened. The last few live tournament series I played (Macau Poker Cup Championship, Aussie Millions, ANZPT Perth, WSOP and APPT Melbourne) I have made a profit, either from cashing or winning satellites.

I am selling shares to lower variance as I am planning to play many more live tournaments in the future. I will be selling at a markup of 1.33:1.

Oct 1st - Event 6: Main Event Day 1B £5250
Oct 2nd - Event 12: NL £2150
Oct 3rd – Event 17: NL £1100
Oct 5th – Event 26: NL £1100

Total £9600 * 1.33 = £12768

1% (minimum) = £128 / $210
2.5% = £319 / $525
5% = £638 / $1051
10% = £1277 / $2102

Exchange rate will be fixed at today’s xe.com rate of 1.6465 $/£ to keep things simple.

I am selling up to 50%. I will be playing regardless of how much I sell and will keep at least 50% of myself. I reserve the right to not play some of the side events due to still being in another tournament or not feeling like playing. Refunds will be made at the end of the series on Oct 7th, when I will summarize everything and pay out winnings.

I am Australian and Australians do not pay tax on poker winnings in the UK so winnings will be paid out in full. Only winnings from the prizepool apply.

Payment options
:
Stars transfer (bluesky30, Australia)
Party transfer
Cash in London/Macau/Australia in person when I am at respective place
Bank transfer (Australian bank account)
Moneybookers

I think that covers everything, if there is anything I missed out please do let me know. I will also probably be making threads for WSOPE and other events soon…

Haven't posted an update here, been sending updates privately to investors.

I have collected cash from Try__An__Hit. Didn't end up meeting ender555 before the main event started so I took his 17.5% myself.

I'm starting day 4 shortly with 462k. Because I've been in the main event I did not play event 12 and 17. Hopefully won't be able to play event 26 also

Thinking of also setting up a twitter where I can post private updates to selected people. I think twitter is a great way of posting updates but I'm not a fan of letting everyone else playing the tournament read what I'm thinking. I haven't used twitter before so not sure if this is possible but I will look into it later. Tournement starts in a few minutes..

Busted 44th for £13k.

Was extremely dissapointed after I busted because I felt like I really played my heart out for 3.5 days and deserved more. Went to sleep for about 15 hours and feel better now. I'm happy that I will have many more chances to do something huge in the coming weeks. I'm motivated to crush these big live tournaments more than ever right now. I've noticed that although many tables looked tough with several young internet guys on each, people are making a ton of mistakes and I feel like I have a huge edge in this live large event setting.

Will be playing event 26 later today.
