, 10:50 AM
Hello, Jason Root here.. selling up to 50% of myself in the RA Anniversary Tournament which starts today.
Tournament Info(PDF)
The plan is to play Day 1 A tonight, and at least ONE other Day 1
over the next week (Day 1B 7/10 or Day 1E/F 7/12). Unless I BAG heaps tonight(>75 BB or T300,000), then I may elect to not even bother with coming back for a 2nd Day 2 (chances are I will anyway though, as I can still sell off another Day 2 ending stack for $1200 -- (see details below ) In any case that I don't fire a 2nd I will refund your % of the 2nd bullet at the conclusion of the tournament.
I have bought/sold packages here before. No results as of yet, but I have given great sweats over TWITTER! @jarooty & fun sweats are +LIVE-EV win or lose obv
At any rate, I'm only 0/2 on sold packages, so sample size pretty small.Which just means I'm due if you believe in the poker gods. I know I do <3
Package 1: $1,000 MSPT - Ho Chunk
Package 2: $340 Fat Stax - Canterbury
Why you should consider investing?
*Some decent (and recent success) since late 2013 and the start of 2014 (>30%+ ITM)
* 14th place finish in the $340 Fat Stax in Feb
* 6th place finish in the $200 P5's NL Bonus Event At Running Aces (6th place of 117 runners)
Hendon Mob Link
*Hendon Mob does not list my..
-1st place score from in 2012 in a $100 LHE Tournament I won ($4250)3 way chip-count chop
-3rd place in a $200 NL from Dec 2011 (~$5100).
Also played well and made a deep run in May's MSPT 1K @ HO-Chunk,WI. (busted right before bagging QQ<AA AIPF for ~70 BB
So didn't cash unfortunately, but oddly enough I don't think I've ever played better poker so even though I lost, I gained a ton of confidence in my live tournament game in that tournament. Which was filled with some really good players who were at my table at some point.. Matt Kirby, Bryan Moon, Lance Harris & Johnny "G Stacks" Hayes.
:::ONLINE:::
While I've been primary a live cash game player since Black Friday (8/16 LHE & 2-100 SPREAD LIMIT HOLDEM and PLO),
I was almost ELUSIVELY a MTT and SNG player online 2003-2009. Some decent success online several sites spanning
(Party, Tilt and Stars, UB, Paradise, WSEX)
Here's a generic highlight breakdown:
Ultimate Bet:
*3 Aruba Trips and Entries into WPT Aruba Poker Classic (2 in 2003, 1 in 2004)
*Several other low to mid 4-figure MTT Scores 04-06.
Pokerstars
One of the top rated MTT players on Pokerstars in 2007
(99.63% Rating) - Ranked 2,261 of 615,667 total MTT players
--22% ITM finish (93 cashes in 419 tournaments) - average field size of 1587
Full Tilt:

Tournament Details:
*15K starting stacks/ 30 minute levels (Day 1's) & Increase to 40 min levels Day 2's
*8 Starting Day 1's
*$1200 Buy Back
As I mentioned, I plan to play Day 1a tonight, and at least 1 other day 1 over the next week. Possibly a total of 3 Day 1's, but I will let anyone who invests freeroll on my 3rd bullet/Day 1 (should I elect to fire it).
This is a unique structure, and one that lets you SELL BACK your stack at the END OF DAY 1 no matter how small for $1200!
Obviously this makes these Day 1's effectively $1200 Satellites for Day 2, which was my specialty online (SNG and MTT sattelites).
**ALSO, if you make that 2nd Day 2 (in addition to the $1200) you get to KEEP the LARGER of the two stacks.
Obviously this favors the players who play the most starting Day 1's. The most I will be able to play is 3 Day 1's (tonight, Thurs and possibly Saturday). But as I mentioned, I am only selling pieces for 2 Day 1's ($550 total), so you have that much more equity should I elect to play a 3rd day two. Total freeroll...
**ALSO*** ATTN PREVIOUS INVESTORS in my other 2 packages. I will provide 25-50% makeup on any investment for
any 4 or 5 figure scores! So if you have invested in any of my previous packages, you will receive 25% of that back on ANY 4 figure score (yes ANy score >$1000) and 50% back on any 5 figure score(>$10,000). Just a good will gesture for investing.
So for example: If you have invested a total of $200 in any of my other two packages and I cash for $1000. You will receive back
$50. If I cash for $10,000. You will receive back $100 - in addition of
course to any profits for this particular package.
Why Am I doing this? Not for the $ oddly enough. I have a well paying 6-figure income so $550 would not represent any meaningful loss to my bankroll. So I'm basically offering this for two reasons..
1. I know I am a +EV investment, so I have no problem giving some
equity back in makeup.
2. I believe having investors helps keep me that much more focused
during tournaments.
More focus = Play better = Results ..which means more EQUITY because of investors, so it only makes sense to return
a small portion of that.
For new investors, I will probably keep this deal rolling for this package as well in reference to any future packages so keep that in mind!
Thanks for looking!
