Hey,
I'm back into the selling shares business. I have sold a ton of packages in the online shares forum before, but more on that later. Sorry for the tl;dr but would prefer to add info now.
First, the schedule:
Event # Date Buyin Days
53 6/30/2012 $1500 3
54 7/1/2012 $1000 3
56 7/2/2012 $1500 3
Sat 7/3/2012 $330 1
Sat 7/3/2012 $550 1
59 7/4/2012 $1000 4
Sat 7/5/2012 $330 1
Sat 7/5/2012 $550 1
Mega Sat 7/6/2012 $550 1
Mega Sat 7/6/2012 $1060 1
Mega Sat 7/7/2012 $550 1
Mega Sat 7/7/2012 $1060 1
Extras $1760
Total $11,740
Markup 1.1073
Total-13,000
1%=$130
2%=$260
5%=$650
The "extras" column consists of any extra tournaments (mainly satellites) that I would be playing. I have accounted for 2 extra $550s (8PM) and $330s (4 PM) satellites that run in case of a day where I am knocked out quickly. I am also going to give myself the option to play in the $235 "deep stacks" that run at 2PM instead of a 330 if I deem it best for the package. Any tournament that I might play between June 30th and July 7th that is not listed or one of the three tournaments talked about above will NOT COUNT for this package.
Any unused buyins will be returned plus markup.
If I satellite into the main event in one of these tournaments, your percentage will transfer to the main.
If I do not satellite in, I am giving another option to investors:
If I cash for >15,000 in non satellite events, I will possibly play the Main event at a 1.1 MU if enough people want shares. If you'd like to reinvest the money won into the main, please note when reserving shares.
Ex-If you bought one percent for $130, and I cashed for $25,000 in bracelet events, you would make $250. If you want, I will give you 1% in the main plus $140 instead of a straight $250.
I'd like to sell roughly 70% of my action. I'm also reserving 15% for family/friends, so they get first dibs. If that 15% isn't all sold, I will let anyone on a waiting list get that action. With all that being said, there is 55% available to 2+2ers. I will accept cash at the tournament from reputable posters, checks, western union, and paypal.
The vast majority of games played were on Stars. Also up over $7K in SnGs on stars, even after starting 1500 in the hole when I had 0 idea what I was doing (see below). also up about 2K in MTTs on Carbon.

Online Background, cliffs so there's not a complete wall of text:
-started playing in '08
-hit first 4 digit score in June of '09 in a $2 tournament, chopped the Daily 30 for another 2K 2 days later (the day before my HS graduation party, so roughly 6K in bankroll within a week after that, too)
-Blew threw 5K of it within a month playing 50/100$ DoN SnGs thinking I could hit Supernova
-Got my first stake, in which lasted a week before a) I FT the Daily 30 again (took either 8th or 9th I think) and the backer had to get out due to personal reasons.
-Broke even for about 6 months before starting to play 18 man SnGs. This gave me a huge edge from studying ICM, final table play, adjusting to opponents, etc.
-Went life busto and had to withdraw poker money. This was possibly the best thing to happen to me in my poker career.
In November of 2010, I applied to be staked by mement_mori's low stakes staking group, and was the first one to sign with the team. The group was run by the first person I would say was a poker friend, Ronnie (deucegame on 2+2). Ronnie ran the team for Mickey, including a skype chat that was off the charts for a micro-midstake buyin level. The minds in that group included mulls, zedveron, and wargopher (among many others), all of which who added a unique perspective. My game improved drastically.
That wasn't the only break I got with the group. The 2nd was when Ronnie invited me to fly down to his house in South Carolina before going on a trip to tunica with him for the WSOP circuit event. While I didn't get to play in any events (20lol), I drove the country and talked poker strategy. I also got to meet many others who played for team mori. My game seemed to take off the two weeks we were there. I was stuck in a hotel room and played every day, including during the Super Bowl. It seemed like I was at a FT every two days. I was crushing the small stakes.
When I got back home, Ronnie let me play in a few Sunday Daily 50's (think it was 300K on sundays). On my last shot, I ended up having the chip lead most of the way before going card dead and finishing 15th or so. It wasn't what I wanted, but I had proven to myself I could outlast good players in huge tournaments.
Within the next few weeks, due to life circumstances, I wasn't able to put in as much volume and could no longer play for team mori, but started to sell shares for days in which I didn't work. Here's some examples of some packages:
First package sold:

Last package sold pre BF
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/16...ckage-1000861/
Note how right before BF, I was having many investors reinvesting. In my opinion, that's the best compliment you can get-people reinvesting their money because they feel like you are playing well.
I was also making consistently deep runs every day I played, including 35th in the million multiple top 18s in the DnG, 35th in the double duece, 2nd in 109q against some of the best players out there, plus a bunch of deep runs in other
11s/22s that aren't worth mentioning.
Live poker experience
I debated writing this since I have no proof of any of it, but I have played in 8 MTTs (cashed 3, including some in Florida/NY when I was not 21), played about 100 hrs since I turned 21 of 1/3 or 1/2 (up roughly 2K), plus many home games. I am not uncomfortable playing live.
References:
Too many to count. Other than the packages I've sold, I was staked by Mement, simplicity, zima (for like a day), and one other person that I honestly can't remember who it was. I also helped deucegame a little bit with transfers when he was playing in Tunica. I've done numerous transfers in the Internet poker thread. You should have no qualms about me taking money. I will have a twitter account just for this tournament.
As always, feel free to PM me with any questions or post here. I try to be as upfront as possible with everyone.
