Hello Marketplace!
A little about myself....
My name is Alex.
I am a recently turned (April 17th) 21 year old poker player/actor. I have been acting and studying the craft since I was in grammer school. Went to highschool for it as well as attended an acting conservatory after I graduated highschool.
My passion for acting has taken a bit of a backseat (for now) to my passion for poker. I have been playing poker since I was a kid playing penny stud with family members and started playing online after Moneymaker won the Main Event. I started playing online more frequently when I was 17 or 18 years old and have been playing professionally as my primary source of income for almost a year.
I am mostly a low/midstakes MTT grinder on Pokerstars but also play some micros and highstake MTTs. I have had a decent amount of success in this game since I started playing professionally with many final tables as well as outright wins in many big field MTTs.

I had a couple of other backing and sponsor deals for this WSOP that did not come to fruition (through no fault of my own), which is why I am making this package a little last minute.
WSOP PACKAGE
I am looking to sell action to 6 WSOP NLHE prelim events.
Event #11 - $1,500 - Friday, June 4th
Event #16 - $1,500 - Monday, June 7th
Event #26 - $2,500 - Monday, June 14th
Event #39 - $1,500 - Monday, June 21st
Event #45 - $1,500 - Friday, June 25th
Event #56- $2,500 - Friday, July 2nd
Total Buyins - $11,000 at a 1.2:1 markup = $13,200
I am looking to sell 60% of my action.
1% = $132
2% = $264
5% = $660
10% = $1,320
Live Experience
I have been playing live poker for quite some time now. I have been playing live cash games (1/2, 1/3, 2/5) and tournaments profitably in various different spots in New York City and New Jersey for almost 2 years. I really enjoy live poker and I am quite certain that my edge may even be stronger live than on the virtual felt.
I have just turned 21 in April so I dont have much casino experience. I went to Atlantic City after I turned 21 and did fairly well in the cash games as well as final tabling the Midnight Madness at the Taj. I played in the Borgata Spring Open and was very confident and feel that I played great but did not run particularly well.
References
I will have a few different people come in to this thread and attest to my character/trustworthiness. I post in MTTc regularly and am not trying to steal/scam anyone here.
I believe this is a great investment for any and all investors because I am young and level headed. My mind is very clear and I beleive that my perspective on poker and the long term is a great one.
I have been grinding super hard for the past month or so and I couldnt be more in to grinding MTTs than I am now. I am learning more and more about this game and tournaments every day that I play it. I couldn't be more determined to play and win and I am very excited for my trip. I booked my flight last night and will be playing these events regardless of how much action I sell. I am enjoying the grind and am ready to take Las Vegas for all its worth!
If you guys have any questions,feel free to ask.
I will be making a Poker Twitter Account for this year's WSOP and any and all investors can follow me there. I can also be contacted via PM, AIM, email, facebook and cell phone if any investors have a preference.
I am looking to make this a fun and easy business opportunity for all parties involved.
GL us!
