#49 $1500 plo8 (6/24)
#61 $1k 1drop (6/30)
#67 $10k main event (6/3)
hey guys, my name is Greg Eyster and i'm looking to sell off about 40-50% for the main event this year, and i figured i'd throw a couple other events into the mix as well since they are typically pretty high value tournaments. this is the first package i've attempted to put up on marketplace, so let me tell a little bit about myself. i'm 32 years old and i've been a professional poker player for 8 years, specializing in plo/plo8 cash online (mostly up to 3/6 with a small amount of 5/10 and even smaller amount of 10/20 sprinkled in). i'm very good friends with another long time plo8 reg, tobias hausen (kuhns89), and i have made 4 videos more or less pro-bono for his new website (not sure if i can say the name?), the last 2 of which are likely going to be uploaded to the servers today or tomorrow.
when black friday hit (i was on pace for SNE), most of the american plo8 regs began to vpn on ipoker, so that's where i took the bulk of my volume. within a couple years, the plo8 games were pretty much dead- it got to the point where i would sit alone at tables for hours at a time without getting action, so i transitioned to more or less full time MTT play (i still grind some cash these days, mostly plo tho). i don't play much live but i try to keep most or all of my own action and i do have a couple results which i'll get into in a minute.
now for the important stuff. this is the most recent plo8 graph i could dig up, from the first part of 2013 (mostly 1/2 and 2/4), i think on my ROMPRSTOMPR account, but maybe SPILLPISSBOTTLE as well-
here are my online MTT results over all screen names that i've played on the ipoker network (from above). this accounts for basically 100% of my online tourney play since black friday- around game 900 (march 2014) is when i officially started grinding MTTs "full time"

i recently won the IPOPS main event this spring, and i have wins in the sunday special, in the super tuesday/tuesday grand, the big friday/friday grand, and have 2nd place finishes in what was formerly the "tuesday high roller" and another random IPOPS event, as well as a 6th place finish in another IPOPS main event from a couple years ago.
i also play as MrClkClkDirk on stars- i spent this past winter in mexico with the intention of playing a ton of big tournaments, but after about a week of playing 50 MTTs a day with an average field size of 1k+ people, i decided that i really didn't want to do that after all. after IPOPS this spring, i decided to yolo a bit for SCOOP and fire off in a bunch of big stuff without selling any action. apart from something like a 26th in the $215-M hu plo shootout (beat danmerrr, shippp), i bricked pretty savagely and lost somewhere in the neighborhood of $15-20k. sucks, but whatever. i've got a plo8 WCOOP final table and WCOOP final table bubble from a few years ago also.
here is my hendon mob-

i don't play much live at all, but i do have a wsop-c ring and two other wsop-c final tables/near misses. this also doesn't include a 3rd place in the colorado poker championship ($1k) back in january of 2012 for about $22k that, for some reason, was never tracked/reported. without digging up my tax returns and my tourney ticket receipts, i'd estimate since black friday i'm probably in for ~$40-50k of total live tournament buyins, most of which has come from bricks @ the wsop/vds each summer.
this is the first year i've decided to play the main event, as generally i'm a little hesitant to torch $10k in a loldonkament, but i've made dramatic improvements to both my poker game and my mindstate in the past year or two, and i spent my time in mexico this winter completely immersed in a perpetual state of grinding, studying, and golfing. also, YOLO
so i've looked around a bit at various packages and i think that it's fair to ask for 1.4 markup(1.35 for anything >=10%), considering these will be 3 of the softest tourneys of the year and i'm out here murdering reg-infested games in the streets online every day. i will also be playing cash games and some other tourneys if necessary to fill in the time while i'm out there.
i'm just gauging interest at this point, obv i can take cash in person in vegas and i also have skrill/moneybookers. if it sells out and people need other options, i'll go set up a wells fargo or chase quickpay or venmo or whatever is the most convenient thing, since i only bank with TD canada trust and an obscure credit union in colorado.
total pkg $12.5k
1% @ 1.4 = $175
5% @ 1.4 = $843(.75)
10% @ 1.35 = $1687(.5)
thanks for reading and gl to everybody this series.
