About Me
Hi, i'm Oliver Gill, aka Talerric on Pokerstars aka Capitao when playing live. I'm a 30 year old poker player from Australia and I'm looking to sell around 60% of an Aussie Millions package of six prelims plus the Main Event. The remaining 40% will be held by me, although I may sell up to an extra 10% in the Main Event (undecided at the moment). I will be investing a minimum of about 4k of my own money into this package for investors peace of mind. I have had a winning Aussie Millions overall at 5 out of 6 of the series from 2010-2015. I am currently coached by Bigbluffzinc and Frenzuh.
The main event will be full of Aussie live fish and satellite qualifiers and should get a field of between 600-800 players, so there should be significant value in the field. Typically first place is around 1.6m AUD (approx 1.2m USD). I have played the event several times before and in my opinion it is the softest 10k event in the world other than the WSOPME.
Obviously the prelim events have a smaller buyins and will be full of casual live players that I have extensive experience playing against as i've played more live poker at Crown than any other poker room and know most of the locals. As you will see on my Hendonmob, despite playing a light-ish schedule most years at Aussie Millions i've final tabled at least one preliminary event for 5 of the past 6 years, totalling 6 final tables and one win (all being top 5 finishes) plus mincashes and i've cashed every prelim in this package or its equivalent event that year at least once and in some cases multiple times. In my opinion Aussie Millions is the best value poker series that exists especially since there are no taxes on winnings.
The first event in the package is on 14 Jan 2016 and the package concludes by 1 Feb 2016. All shares will need to be paid for before the first event for you to have action. All shares and refunds will be paid out upon completion of the final event in the package. I will lock in exchange rates and collect funds about a week before the package begins.

The Package
Jan 14 - $2500 HORSE
Have played this one the past two years and despite looking 'tough' on paper it's far softer than a $500 mixed game tournament in Vegas. Finished ~11th or thereabouts each of the past two years in a 50ish player field despite being relatively card dead. At least 40% of the field is not competent in all 5 games and there will probably only be 10 decent regs in the field. Finished 5th in the $1100 HORSE a few years ago at AM before they had the 2.5k version.
Jan 18 - $1150 PLO
Finished 4th in this one a few years ago losing a pot to Annette Obrestad for 90% of the chips in play with 4 left; typically gets 130-300 runners from memory, very few Australians are competent at PLO and well over half of the field will be Australian this early in the schedule. Slightly softer than the $1k PLO at the WSOP but not by as wide a margin as the mixed games.
Jan 19 - $1150 6Max NLHE
Typically gets 300-550 players, finished 4th in a 500ish field a couple years ago and had over half of the chips in play 4 handed before running a nut flush into a straight flush and losing two 7030s for stacks to wind up 4th. The $2500 6max will be a regfest as its during the main after a lot of regs will have busted; most overseas players won't be here yet for this so it'll be local heavy and with Crown typically playing 9-10 handed most locals have no idea how to play 6 handed. Will definitely be the 2nd softest NLHE event at this series after the opening event which gets 1000ish runners that I won't arrive in time for. I'd expect an average of 2 regs, one semi competent reg and 3 fish per starting table on average.
Jan 20 - $2500 8Game (defending champion)
I won this one last year and have one other final table in its previous version as an $1100 a few years ago. Basically there are only about 5 Australians who will play this tournament who play all of the games competently and with a decent chunk of the non-Australians not here yet i'd expect less than 20 of the 50 players in the field to be decent across 8 games, and at least 20 will be relatively dead money. Immeasurably softer than the 1500 10-game in Vegas in 2015 as I played both of them. Starting table will have 3 or less players who can play all of the games reasonably well at most tables.
Jan 23 - $1650 Bounty NLHE Special
The only prelim on the schedule this year that I haven't final tabled before although I did finish about 20th a few years ago. Gets 300-400 players or so from memory, and is about on par with a weekend 1k at the WSOP but with a better structure. Goes to shootout format with 32 left. Each table has 1 random bounty player assigned; if you're the bounty you get your $150 rake refunded. You get $1k cash if you bust the bounty player. Obviously rake rebate/bounties will count towards cashes if I get either.
Jan 24 - $10,600 Main Event Day 1a
Typically gets 600-800 players. I'm not 100% sure i'll play Day 1a but as it's on a Sunday, i'm leaning in that direction as more people who work 9-5 jobs will choose the day 1 that happens on the weekend, plus some online regs will be resting for majors and playing 1c on the Tuesday. Also allows us to either fire an $1150 on Day 1b that will complete before Day 2 or take a rest day depending how we feel.
1x Extra $1150 Bullet
To be used in any one $1150 tournament out of the $1150 Tournament of Champions NLHE, Hall of Fame NLHE, Holdem/Omaha HA or Terminator (NLHE w/bounties).
May also be used to re-enter either the PLO or 6max, but only if I bust during the first two levels and the field looks soft and I think it's a better spot than firing a new tournament. Will inform investors via twitter prior to using this bullet to ensure everyone knows they have action.
Any unused bullets to any tournament will be refunded along with MU if unused due to running deep in an event/any other reason.
Total package 20700 AUD @ 1.29 = 26703 AUD = 267.03 AUD/share
At current XE rates that comes to 192.25 USD/share although that USD number is not finalised, I will lock in the AUD/USD exchange rate about a week before the series and collect online funds to minimise variance for all parties.
60% available in total (minus pre-reserves)
1% = 267.03 AUD / 192.25 USD (approx)
5% = 1335.15 AUD / 961.25 USD (approx)
10% = 2670.30 AUD / 1922.50 USD (approx)
Min share 0.5%
If anyone wants some main only shares feel free to express interest in thread although priority will be given to investors who have bought the entire package if they wish to take extra main shares if I decide to sell the extra 10% of the main. In the meantime I'm happy to waitlist.

My Poker Resume, Screennames and Graphs
I have over 350k net winnings online across all sites with the bulk of the profit coming on Stars and pre-black friday FTP. My screennames are Talerric on Pokerstars, SwoopAE on Full Tilt, Mutaharass on 888 and various other SNs with smaller volume on the other sites. My Sharkscope/OPR is unblocked.
Some but not all of my live cashes are listed at the Hendon Mob under two pages due to my evidently confusing two word surname. It was three pages at one point but they merged one. I think about 80% of my live cashes are there, some random Australian/NZ cashes untracked as well but nothing too significant.

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=430172
I haven't had the best year online in 2015 results wise, but I continue to study the game diligently and have had plenty of close calls and smaller scores and did win a live tourney. Some of the tournaments ive won and chopped over the past couple years online include the Sunday Second Chance multiple times, Sunday 100r and Big 162 multiple times and pretty much all of the dailies at some point.
Taxes and verification
There are no taxes on poker/gambling winnings in Australia and all cashes and/or refunds will be paid in full upon completion of the package.
For verification that I have played a particular event, you are welcome to ask me to upload a picture of my entry (or re-entry) receipt for a tournament and I will do so.

I'll ask a few of them to the thread to drop references, or just search any of my previous threads where they have.
