Why am I here?
Selling up to 50% for one buy-in for each of the listed events.
I am playing these events even if I don't raise a single dollar here. I am not doing this because I desire variance-reduction.
I AM here though because I want to attempt to get a toehold in the market. I do not plan on these being the highest-stake events of my career and I may want to raise funds for higher stakes in the future. Gotta start somewhere. I need more poker social capital and this seems like a good way to acquire some.

Who am I?
My lifetime competition volume is very low and I only have live results tracked:
https://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/pla...p?a=r&n=437718
So you definitely do not know who I am.
My two best results were back-to-back runner ups for $40k total at Maryland Live (a $500 event and an $1100 event).
I only have 212 events total dating back to August 2021. However I do believe I've extracted significant EV (as well as run quite good):
I've dabbled in poker for a long time but only really started taking it seriously in early 2019. Since then I've mostly been confined to the lab. My philosophy has always been that competition is good training only for competitiveness itself.
I firmly believe that the ONLY place to truly improve the core technical skills of assumption-setting, ranging, and strategy computation is off the felt via dedicated, controlled training.
I'd estimate I've accrued ~3000 hours of training in that time (about 2 hours per day over four years). I have a massive database from which I've built dozens of unique datasets to aid with assumption-setting. I have a ton of intellectual capital (all produced by me) including preflop and postflop charts and trees. I've also logged hundreds of hours doing mindfulness meditation and neuroplasticity training (exercises designed to improve working memory) which I think are essential supplements.
In the past four years I've had various things in life that have delayed my foray into serious, sustained competition. I also have a gnawing desire to continually improve and often I've found myself thinking that I'd be better off training than competing--and I've most chosen to be patient and just keep training.
This poker project is a long time in the making. I have invested significant monetary capital and temporal capital building out my infrastructure and improving my skills.
So all this said for the following: Please do not conflate my lack of volume with lack of experience. I am not a rookie.
Away from poker, I have a day job as an actuary. I graduated from Duke as a math/econ major and I am 32 years old on Monday.

Why do I think I have an edge?
__________________________________________________ _____
What are the risks with my game?
I want to be 100% transparent about the nature of my game.
My game is demonstrably different than average. This is a zero-sum game, and that last thing I want to be is average. The four bullets above result in me playing an extremely LAGy game:
You can also consider my rebuy strategy to be a significant departure from average (where it seems most people will rebuy ad infinitum).
I have never once even so much as glanced at a poker book, or watched a training video, or taken coaching. My entire game has been built alone, from scratch. My ideas are all my own.
So therefore my game, no doubt, involves risk beyond what an "average" player's game would bear.
But as an investor, I'm assuming you WANT risk.
Because with the risk comes the reward: I do believe that few to none can match my ability to change a game with one computation.

Details of offer
- No markup
- Action sold in $70 blocks; 1 block=1% of action; 50 blocks available
- I reserve the right to accept or reject any endgame deals
- Only one buy-in per event; I believe people massively overestimate the $EV of a rebuy stack when more than 80-100 hands have elapsed (In 212 events I've fired 247 buy-ins)
- Any profits will be distributed back pretax
- Day 2 of Event #15 conflicts with Day 1 of Event #19; in the event I make Day 2 of Event #15, funds will be distributed back at the prorated rate of 2500/7000 (rounded up to the nearest dollar)
- I am aware of the fiduciary, ethical, moral, legal, and psychological responsibilities of having investors; I am prepared to fully meet them
- It is my sincere pleasure to meet with you so you can learn more about me before making a decision. I will answer any questions you have and I will take any test of my skills you may wish to give to me. Feel free to probe me as hard as you like. PM me for my phone number, email or other communication channel

Why do I think I have an edge?
- I have elite visual/spatial and auditory working memory; this endows me with laser-precise ranging capabilities.
- I have an enterprising use of data and judgment; this gives me uniquely precise behavioral insights. I identify more exploits.
- I have thousands of hours honing my skills computing maximally exploitative strategies, and I have the temerity and skill to implement then with immense dexterity and rapacity.
- I have a competitive desire which is off the charts. My mantra is "I just need to get better". I am an indefatigable worker. During competition, pigs will fly before you knock me out of balance.

I don't have any social media. I even deleted my Linkedin a while back. I know that practice of no social media is quite different from most people these days.
So rather than social media, I'm just gonna post a pic of my license so you know I'm actually a real person. Edited out the license # and my address.
