Hi Marketplace,

My name is Lee Thomas. I'm selling part of a small package of initial tourneys for the WSOP. Depending on how I feel in Vegas I will likely offer more action for additional events and give current investors first dibs.

My online screennames are/were BREAKURFACE (Stars), ibleedbenjamins (FTP), and bettor44 (Carbon)

here are some OPR's and my PTR for FTP (although it's missing a ton of info bc it didn't track PLO when I was playing most, is way off, and skewed results from running terrible @ 25/50 plo. Also my ****ty stats for 1/2 PLO HU was after a long hiatus and when I was learning the intricacies of deepstack PLO after playing mostly cap, I shouldn't have tried so many creative strategies to start and obv. begun that process at 6 max). I asked to opt in for Stars tracking sites 2 days ago & haven't received a reply yet. I'm hoping to sell the action within the next few days before I drive out to Vegas so that info probably won't be available (It's just more volume but not much difference in the results than what you see on FTP) but I think I'm offering a strong investment opportunity.

About me:

I've played mostly cash but a solid amount of tournaments over my career. 2007-2008 I played mostly NLHE and earned profit at all limits from 2/4-50/100 with the exception of 10/20 (ty INTERNETPOKERS). I switched to PLO in 2008 and had a lot of success playing mostly cap at 5/10 - 200/400 during that time. I made ~200k playing 25/50 in that stretch but eventually degenned too hard at nosebleeds not moving down after taking a couple big hits and went bust before deciding to returning to school & finish my degree. Although it's very incomplete there are a few hands of mine listed on HSDB to verify this. I played sporadically throughout the next 2 years and still made some decent $ but was hindered by a high overhead and other responsibilities. Since BF I've played a substantial amount live with good results (except WSOP last year which totally blew) while graduating in August and then getting a job for ~7 months.

In April I decided to recommit myself fully to poker and play full time again. I've played 1 major tourney this year, the 10k WPT Seminole where I bubbled finishing 37th/~290. Mass multitabling was never my strength online and my game has transferred very well into the live, 1 table setting. I also finished 1st in a Charity tournament last year with 500+ people winning a 15k package. I've benefited tremendously moving to live play with the help of coaching from Brandon Adams for over a year. My other past coaches from the 1st part of my career were Justin "Boosted J" Smith and Ariel "FoxwoodsFiend" Schneller. I'm also in the process of setting up some live coaching sessions with Vanessa Selbst.

I'm sure all my past coaches would and have provided references on my accountability with cash (although I never asked Ariel in the past), but Brandon Adams, serendibz, and Chance Kornuth have had the most recent & substantial interaction with me and would provide the most relevant references. You can also check out my unblemished trading record on the forums.

Below are the events I'm offering action to at this time:

5/29 $3,000 PLO/NLH HU
6/12 $3,000 PLO
6/18 $5,000 PLO 6m

4 $1500 Buy-in events
6/2 $1500 NLH Re-entry(a)
6/3 $1500 NLH Re-entry(b) if necessary
6/4 $1500 PLO if I don't make day 2 of the Re-entry
and 1-3 additional $1500 NLH events later in the series (I plan on staying in Vegas for the duration of the WSOP)

Total Buy ins: $17,000

I'll be keeping ~49.98% of my own action for the package and ~27.52% has already been sold to a private investor.

I'm selling 22.5% ($3825) @ 1.225 Mark up = $4685.62
I'd like to maximize the # of additional investors to 3 to make things easier for me with updates & distributions.
Minimum investment is 7.5% or $1561.87

If my total cashes are > $5,000 I will need tax forms to be filled out before distributing cash or 25% of the share will be withheld

In the unlikely event that I'm unable to play the entire schedule for any reason, all investments will be equitably refunded in full.

Money will be accepted via bank transfer or cash in Vegas prior to my first event. Investments & a waiting list will be made on a 1st come 1st serve basis.


Best Regards,

Lee Thomas
