Hey guys,

I am selling action for this years WSOP and Venetian Deep stack series.

Background:

My name is David Hickman, I'm 27 years old and currently live in Massachusetts. I've been playing poker for 7 years, 3 of those professionally. I've been successful at mid/upper mid stakes online MTTs.

Check out my OPR results here:

Most of my live experience has come from playing at Foxwoods (mostly FPC/WPF and megastack series events) where I have a bunch of final tables and cashes.

Schedule:

I will be in Vegas June 3rd until the 25th, staying in a house with 2 other players. I also plan on playing the main event, but I'll sell shares for that event separately. This package includes the following events:


Jun 4 : $1000 WSOP #8
Jun 5 : $350 Ven. DS
Jun 6 : $560 Ven. DS
Jun 7 : $1500 WSOP #12
Jun 8 : $1500 WSOP #13
Jun 11: $1500 WSOP #18
Jun 12: $1000 WSOP #20
Jun 14: $1080 Ven. DS
Jun 16: $1500 WSOP #28
Jun 19: $1000 WSOP #34
Jun 18: $1500 WSOP #32
Jun 21: $560 Ven. DS
Jun 22: $1500 WSOP #38

Mark Up: 1.237

Total Buyins: $14550 * 1.237 = ~$18000.00
1% = $180
2% = $360
5% = $900
%10 = $1800

I'm only selling %30 of my action. I'll skip a tournament if I'm not feeling %100, or if I make a day 2 or 3 of another event. I also have a twitter account which I'm willing to use to provide updates to investors.

This is my first time selling on 2+2, but I have done numerous large trades (i.e. FTP for stars money, $10k+) in the past with 2+2 members. I can provide references if necessary.

Thanks for your interest!

1% here and 1% of ME

1% pm early june cash vegas. Any references?

Dave is a a really talented poker player who has always given me a tough time at the tables. He is a really good guy irl and I expect him to crush these events.

Mench and dumbndumb are good references, since we've traded money/sold action a bunch the past few years. I've also traded money with David Peters (dpeters17 here) late last year and a few years before that.

3 %, cash in vegas. would be nice if another one or 2 of your references could post here

2% prelims, 1% main

Regarding personal characteristics: Dave and I have been friends for over two years now. We have done numerous large cash swaps and I have bought some large pieces of him in events. I trust him completely regarding financial transactions and indeed find him to be one of the most trust-worthy and responsible people I have met in the poker world.

Regarding his game: Dave is an intelligent, thoughtful, and balanced player. Since I have known him, my game has improved in large part from discussing strategy with him. He has done well for himself as a poker pro. In addition to what he has accomplished, over the last 1-1.5 years Dave has made some deep runs in some big events online that I sweated in which he was one bad beat away from a few huge scores. He has pretty consistently made me money from buying pieces of him and I plan to keep investing in him.

Ill take 5% and reserve me 5% for your main event. I have played with David alot at foxwoods over the years and he is def someone I don't want to see on my left. I am flying out June 1st so I will give you cash in vegas. glgl

3% please. Can you take bank transfer? PM me.

2% pre 1% main

This is what I have so far:

TheJunkie: %1
walkmyline: %1
jimmyc123: %3
nbajam: %2
P0KERPR033: %5
donk007: %3
fightingcoward: %2

Sold: %17
Remaining: %13

I'll PM all of you soon about payment details, my contact info etc. Cash in Vegas is fine (preferable if you're there for the series, I'll be there 6/3), but bank transfer, and mailing me a check are perfectly acceptable options as well.

For those of you who are interested in buying main event action, I'm still not sure how much I want to sell or what the markup will be. I'll figure that out a few weeks from now.

ya reserve me 5% or so for main depending on markup

in for 3%!

ill take the rest and will pay cash in vegas

I've been friends with Dave for several years. He is as honest as they come and we have exchanged large sums over the years.

More importantly he is one of the biggest influences I've had over the years in learning and developing my MTT game, and is a super solid player.

I want some action, though it seems Doc Sands reserved the rest. Add me to the waitlist.

Jason

PM me if you have any left.

I'm sold out. List of reserves:

TheJunkie: %1
walkmyline: %1
jimmyc123: %3
nbajam: %2
P0KERPR033: %5
donk007: %3
fightingcoward: %2
dtbog: %3
Doc Sands: %10

Total: %30

Waitlist:
Mench: x%
FieryJustice: x%

I'll start PMing you guys regarding confirmation/payment options/exchange contact info within the next few days.

One thing I forgot to mention in the OP...Investors will be responsible for paying their own taxes. If I do hit a big score investors will need to fill out the proper tax forms/ provide the proper information in order to receive pre-tax money.

There's a chance I'll choose sell a little bit more. I'll post again in this thread if that happens.

Sent $180 for 1%. Please post when you get it in your bank acct. Thanks and GL.

I would like 1-2% pm if you open some up

received, ty

Jimmyc123,
As requested, confirming I received $540 for %3.

I'm playing today's $1k, so I'll be posting updates there periodically.

Mods: If this update post should be elsewhere, please let me know!

Sadly this package ran at a slight loss for investors. Here's how I fared in the events played:

Jun 4 : $1000 WSOP #8; brick
Jun 5 : $350 Ven. DS; brick
Jun 6 : $560 Ven. DS; brick
Jun 7 : $1500 WSOP #12; brick
Jun 8 : $1500 WSOP #13; skipped
Jun 11: $1500 WSOP #18; 55th place, $9546
Jun 12: $1000 WSOP #20; skipped
Jun 14: $1080 Ven. DS; skipped
Jun 16: $1500 WSOP #28; brick
Jun 18: $1500 WSOP #32; brick
Jun 19: $1000 WSOP #34; brick
Jun 21: $560 Ven. DS; brick
Jun 22: $1500 WSOP #38; brick

Since I did not play the June 8th, June 12th, and June 14th events, the buyins with markup will be refunded.

($1500 + $1000 + $1080)*1.237 = $4428.46
For events not played, $44.28 will be refunded per %1.

Total Cashes: $9546
For each %1 purchased, $95.46 will be paid out for my cash

Therefore, $44.28 + $95.46 = ~$140.00 will be returned per %1 purchased

Payout List:
TheJunkie: $140 (%1)
jimmyc123: $420 (%3)
nbajam: $280 (%2)
P0KERPR033: $700 (%5)
donk007: $420 (%3)
fightingcoward: $280 (%2)
dtbog: $420 (%3)
Doc Sands: $1400 (%10)
walkmyline: Cancelled

Total I owe: $4060 (%29)

For those of you in Vegas now, I'll be in touch and will pay in cash within the next few days. For those who sent checks in the mail and are not in Vegas now, I have to return home before paying you all since my checkbook is there.

Misc/ ramblings: WSOP #18 was my best result this series. I had a ton of chips at the end of day 1 (entered day 2 6th of 490 players left ) and for much of day 2. I was fortunate to win a big flip earlyish in the day with AK vs QQ, but I unfortunately I lost a huge flip late in the day (TT vs AK for a ~650k chips at 4000-8000/1000) which left me short stacked, then I didn't get anything going after that.

Thanks for the update. A small loss is pretty much a win for me. LOL. Have u decided on the ME yet? I'm still interested.

I can take funds in Vegas, I'll be there late tomorrow night, pm me your cell
