Make sure you mention the address if taking a cab here or you will be taken to a 'massage' place.

Have a design for the shirt that I think people will really like but won't post until it is finished up.

Mods,
What is the deal with making a thread about interest for t-shirts? What am I allowed to talk about in terms of pricing, selling etc?

As I mentioned before I'm going to try and get about 200 made which hopefully I can partially ship off pre vegas to peoples homes, and partially bring to the Rio and have people grab off me.

Could be wrong but I think it will be easiest to just have people grab them off ya at RIO. I guess this would require you bringing a crap load of t-shirts to vegas though lol.

Its a good idea though for sure.

I'm guessing if you really wanted to make some money doing it you should look into having a vendor booth to sell the shirts @ WSOP. I bet you could sell 1k fairly easy.

You could def sell a whole lot I'd imagine. White out the Main imo.

What are the field sizes of the Venetian big NL tournaments? How soft are they compared to a $1500 NL WSOP event?

Yea I think this is easiest but if I can ship off a few before it means I can bring a few less to Vegas.

Not really trying to make a ton of money on it. If things go well during WSOP I'll see after. Also I can probably get more shipped out if they sellout quickly.

Last year the 1k's had 4-500 and the lower buyins had like 800ish.

I'm not sure how well they will do with the huge buy-ins this year compared to last. I'd expect 300ish for the 1.5k+ tournaments.

Edit: Field Strength of 1.5k WSOP is probably comparable to a $500 Ven. 1k+ at Venetian are pretty tough compared for sure.

1500 WSOP events are way softer than most tournaments I've played at the Venetian with lesser buyins. The 1K and 1500$ buyins at Venetian are actually pretty tough(comparatively)

Ya I would say the 1500 WSOPs are more like 330 Venetians. 1500 Venetians are maybe slightly tougher than 2500 WSOPs.

In terms of live/online. 1500 WSOPs are similar to 24-55 freezeouts online and 1500 Venetians would be similar to a 320, Sunday 500, Friday night fight online.

Obv just my opinion but I think its pretty accurate.

Thats about what I expected. Thanks for the input.

how about printing some cheap business cards pointing to a website where people can get it by mail order. you'll all be in vegas, wont take long for delivery.
once people know where to go, word of mouth will suffice for 200 tees, i would expect more though if reasonably priced.

then just tack it into the markup, minus my fee.


looking forward to the #faketeamusa shirt.

Actually going to get some biz cards done up. I doubt a website will be up in time though.

softest cash games in Vegas PRE-WSOP?

Using this promo code: IRFNF

You can get many weeknights at the Rio for 30-55 dollars which is well below the poker rate. Weekends don't yield much of a discount but still might be cheaper than wsop rate some nights.

The prices on the website using this code seems to change a little depending on the day so I would also check back to see if it goes lower from time to time, I think you can cancel and rebook if this happens but I am not 100% sure.

Google Instant Storefront from Chase. Supposedly it's a quick-to-set-up web store thing that you don't need programming knowledge to set up. There are also web stores where you just have to set up your product, but I can't remember any names right now. Or last resort, Fleabay.

http://www.cafepress.com/

I've bought there never sold though.

I've heard there are much better options than cafepress but I can't remember what they are :/

Without going into to much detail I'm hoping to have a website up with ways to pay (plus I'll always be able to take online sites from non-US players) and am working towards it but just don't think I'll have time to get it up before WSOP with SCOOP etc. Hopefully I can though once the shirts have been produced.

As much of a pain as it might seem I'm going to just keep a bunch in my backpack at WSOP and people can come up and grab them from me, plus I'll be able to take mail orders and ship them from either home or Vegas. Probably won't be able to sell as many this way but I think to start with it will be much easier.

Looks cool but I have a cheaper way of getting the shirts made that will be very good quality.

Thanks to both of you guys/everyone else for ideas so far.

Does anyone know if they use the same playing chips in the ME and the smaller WSOP bracelet events?

Hi Men.

probably not. men would already know

they do

Doesn't matter too much because they all cost the same, 1/3 of a dollar.

Look at Instant Storefront a little closer. Supposedly it does the website showing your product, has payment processing, and links to your bank account all in one deal. Like a few days to set it all up.
