Hi guys,

I am a former highstakes sng pro from the partypoker (and early FTP) days, stopped grinding them in 2010 when becoming a 'rakeback pro' became a trend and winrates shrunk. The FTP website that listed past sng leaderboards seems to be gone, while trying to find it on google I saw these old blog posts on FTR in Aug 08 and Pokerpro labs Nov 08) I put them into a screenshot so you dont have to navigate away from this thread.



As I noticed SNGs 'drying up' I began a transition towards online mtts with some success. ( Click here to check out my cashes in desc order I say 'some' success b/c as you can see, 10 of my top 12 largest cashes were not for gold medal efforts. I am not satisfied with my results and talk poker on a near-daily basis with friends to improve my game.

I have arranged my Pokerstars and FTP OPRs along with my AP pokerdb into a convenient screenshot to save you the trouble of opening multiple tabs or leaving 2p2. I am embarrassed to say I fell for the double gt week crap and lost 40K paying 4x rake to play vs regs FTP (but I did earn Blackcard!)



As for live Poker, I have lived in Vegas the past 3 WSOPs in houses w/ 4 or more 2p2ers. Toronto players Peter Jetten (apathy) and Max Greenwood (inyaface) would certainly vouch for me. For American references I lived with Kleath in Vegas 2 summers ago, and Pasterbater + Braminc (cardrunners sng coach) the past 2 summers. I am sure they would confirm I am not a risk to fly to Canada and escape with your $

I had a ton of chips in the Main Event last year, busting AK < TT in 190th for $49K. I finished 49th in a $5k during the 09 series for $12k. Rented a flat with Randall Flowers and a couple Canadians for 2 weeks in Amsterdam during the Masters Classics & finished 24th in the € 6,000 Main event (link to marketplace package) Also fresh off a mincash in the WSOP event #20

I lost HU in the 2008 shootout and again in the 2009 $5k shootout in a long battle vs bracelet winner Peter Traply (Belabasci) on some sick hands:



1.27 Markup for online funds (Shipped before event starts to Pokertoronto (mario avatar) on Stars. PM for my paypal or moneybookers info if you are a reputable 2p2er)

5% = 318
10% = 635
50% = 3175

1.2 Markup for USD @ Rio

5% = 300
10% = 600
50% = 3000

Taxes: I am Canadian and 30% will be withheld until American tax time. If the amount withheld is manageable, I will likely pay out of my own pocket for the sake of convenience. If I ship the bracelet, I will pay out 70% immediately and work out getting the balance to you ASAP.

I would like to stick to a minimum of 5% blocks in this thread, selling a max of 50%. If I dont sell out, there is a good chance I will take the lower variance route and just play the Venetian $1k

If you are a friend OR someone who participates alot on twitter I would consider making an exception to the 5% rule and consider selling a lucky couple % ... if you PM asking nicely and follow me:
