Hey guys-
My name is William Migely and I am a 24-year old professional poker player currently living in Long Beach, CA. I am originally from the Bay Area and I graduated last spring from UC Berkeley.
I discovered early on in my poker career that I had a difficult time balancing online play with my academic studies so I decided to play almost exclusively live during the remainder of my college years. Throughout these years I consistently crushed several no-limit games in local cardrooms (primarily 3-5), as well as a weekly 5-10/10-20 home game (nlhe/plo) for over a $100/hr.
When I graduated from school, I made the decision to play full-time. I was easily beating the local 5-10 no-limit games (SF and Sonoma County) but was frustrated with the small player pool and lack of action in these games. I started to focus on online MTTs-which I had always enjoyed- and immersed myself in studying strategy, which had changed considerably since I had last played MTTs.
I moved down to SoCal in February and was quite pleased to see how much better the live action is down here; I have done quite well, primarily grinding the 5/10 game @ the gardens. I befriended some online MTT players (titantom32, forcewithme9) and discussing strategy with them has helped me smooth out some of the finer points of my MTT game and given me confidence that I do indeed play at a high level.
Here is a link to my Stars OPR:

Overall, I have roughly a 41% ROI on a sample size of 943 MTTs with an ABI of $68, for a profit of 26k. However, all of my profit is from 2011, when I really focused on MTTs for the first time. I had an 88% ROI on a sample size of 328 MTTs with an ABI of $93 for a total profit of roughly 27k.
Here is a link to my FTP OPR:

Now these stats are pretty ugly. But hold on! I know I have a -30% ROI on a sample size of 554 MTTs with an ABI of $74, but what isn't included is 9k of profit (won the turbo hundo and 6max 20 rebuy) from back in the day before I had a FTP account. As I stated earlier, what is more important is my 2011 results, which shows me at -10% ROI on a sample size of 209 MTTs with an ABI of $92.
That means in 2011- when I first focused my attention on online MTTs- over a sample size of roughly 540 MTTs with an ABI of just over $90, i profited roughly 25k for an ROI of roughly 50% (i hope i did the math correct!). I know its a tiny sample and i'm sure I was on a heater, but before black friday I was quite confident that I had an edge in pretty much everything but the high stakes rebuy MTTs.
I have had a lot of success in turbo formats (showing i push-bot well); however, because of my live-cash background, I think I have a huge edge when playing deep as well. I have played very few live MTTs (probably less than 5) in my life, but I bricked a 1k and $1500 6-max earlier this summer and was incredibly excited to see how soft the fields were. I am obviously extremely comfortable and confident on the live felt. I think one of the things that really sets me apart is how skilled I am at understanding the tendencies of weak live players and relentlessly exploiting them. I'm also good at LOL soulreads and picking up info from physical tells as well as other dumb stuff that live players are good at
I'll be honest, I think i'm an insanely great investment at this rate.

I will be accepting cash or chips in Las Vegas or LA area, or $ via wellsfargo bank transfer. If I miss an event for any reason I will immediately refund money. I will post updates regularly on my twitter name: "zmigs". Backers are responsible for their own taxes and will receive winnings in full as long as they fill out the standard paperwork.
I have been around 2+2 for a long time but unfortunately have very few $ transactions on the site. Throughout my poker career I swapped pieces with players countless times and been involved on both ends of numerous staking deals. I have always tried to hold myself to the highest standards in regards to integrity in my dealings with people and I can guarantee I will continue to do so.
