I have never sold shares on this site or really provided full background on myself before, so here it is:

I am a part-time poker "pro" that lives in South Florida. I still have a real full-time job, but it is real flexible with my schedule, so I get out to play a great deal. In 2008, I almost made more $ in poker than my job, but have no real thoughts of going full-time pro given family obligations, etc.

I started off as more of a live player, playing local tourneys at Hard Rock Hollywood (FL), etc. I started playing in 2005, got serious in 2006, got pretty good by 2007/2008. I have always made money, since Florida tourneys in 2005/6/7 were so soft that knowing the hand rankings was almost enough to show a profit. They used to run high stakes SitNGos round the clock at Hard Rock, and people had such bad basic strategies in these games that I made a ton of money in these (they are now dead

Ok, starting at Bellagio in December 2007, I started taking the occasional poker trip (week at a time), and had a very strong 2008. Made the FT at the WSOP 3K, and if John Phan weren't such a luckbox, would have finished better than the 6th that I got.

Life changed in 2009 as I had a kid.....live poker was severely reduced due to new family obligations at home with the fam.......No poker trips at all (one week at WSOP 2009 is all for the year). So I started playing higher volume online and taking it more seriously. I stopped playing on laptop in front of TV, got an IMAC, and now actually concentrate on the game. My online results reflect the change. OPR below for FTP and Stars since 2009 are pretty good for part timer IMO....

So that is it.....my kid is a little older now and I can get out for some local tourneys now and again. So I just started lurking in this forum recently, sent a couple stakes out and am enjoying it immensely so far.

I will play these tourneys regardless.....but I would really have fun with selling a little action. I am selling at no markup and will max out at 50%:

Tourneys are (Hard Rock Hollywood "main event":

Monday May 10th - 300+50 (LOL Florida rake) (30K Gty)

Saturday May 15th (2-day) 1000+100

Florida rake is annoying, but the value is so great given how soft they are. I would say that I conservatively have 50-75% ROI in these tourneys....I expect each tourney to get 150-200 runners, maybe a little less for 1K.

References - I am pretty good friends with many Florida pros - Jason Mercier, Raj Vohra (BadCardsAA), Tristan Wade (Cre8ive), Stu Patterson, Matt Waxman. Also know Darryl Fish ok and I know he posts on here a fair amount. PM me if you need more info. I am certainly as trustworthy as they come....I have a real job, am not poor, no reason to scam anyone at all.

so...buyins are $1550 total: 1% $15.50, 5% $77.50, 10% - $155.00.

Ship to Stars: Misfit2005 Ship to FTP: Miami Misfit

Hope some people are interested.....like I said, this is long enough, PM me if you want more information.

Hey, interested. Both of the OPR links go to the same page, btw. Any success at these hard rock tourneys in the past?

Yeah, have really done well at these historically.....they run 1 or 2 of these 1ks every month. Chopped the 1k three str8 months once (5 or less chop) fwiw.

Does anyone have mod capabilities to edit/correct dollar amount in original post? Maybe there is a way for me to do it and I am too stupid.

Thanks for support so far....BTW - played some of the dumb Florida cash games ($100 max buyin) on a whim this afternoon. Booked a very nice win, so live run good ramping up for these tourneys.

Sent you back the $2 difference for my lack of 2nd grade math skills.
