Okay, so all this wcoop talk has made me seriously consider taking part in this $109 event tomorrow. I usually play anything between $2 - $10 so this would be a major step up for me. My results have been pretty solid at these limits with about $5k won over the last couple of months since switching from full tilt but I never really move up. I need this cash to live aswell so I never leave anymore than $300 in my account.

So I've been thinking about doing this tomorrow because I think I can get my sister to stake me half of fees and I planned on splitting 60/40 my favour(is this fair?)

$109 wcoop event 19
$22 big 22 (have a ticket from the store)
$5.50 big 5.50
$3.30 sat micro

I only play 4 tables at a time so this is plenty for the day. Do you think I should take a shot at it?

Also does anyone think I will be out of my depth?
Any thoughts on the 60/40 split?

Your sister is foolish to take any less than a 70% cut and if I were her I wouldn't take less than 85%. One time staking deals are hard to profit from, even moreso when you're dealing with a 20,000+ person field and a crapshooty structure.

If you don't really care about the money then it's fine to take a shot but from looking at things in terms of expectation you'd be doing yourself a lot more good by loading up some $2.50/180 man sng's and learning about those/learning to play more than four tables at once.

We are splitting fees 50/50 so should I not take a slight commission if I was to cash over the 4 tourneys?
As regarding playing more than 4 tables at once, I'm comfortable playing 4 at once and my results are good.

Oops, for some reason I thought your sister was paying the entire buy-in. The 60/40 cut for 50% of the entry is fine.

What does "my results are good" mean? Playing only four tournaments at a time you'd need to play every day for a few years before your sample would be statistically significant.

Got a sample of about 600 games in last 2 months on stars with over $5k in profit. I know it's not a large sample but have made a few big cashes in there along with a few 180's too. Obviously will increase volume as time goes by but just thought this might be worth a shot as it only comes around once a year.

whoknows00 on sharkscope, there's a sample of about 600 hu hypers there aswell with very little profit.

Will this event attract non reg's for that buy in like myself?

For sure.

Don't know if you're +EV in the tourney, but take a shot if you fell like it... Just don't be mad at yourself if you don't cash.

Think I will now that I think about it, only covering half of buy ins for the day. Talked to my sister so it's not gonna cripple my roll and even decided we'd split 55/45 cos it's my first shot.

A bit of experience with some staking/backing and it will take some of the weight off so I can play my best game. I'll let you's know how I get on.

honestly i don't mind the shot at the big 22. but i really don't think playing in a $109 tournament with a huge field and a $300 BR is very smart considering you need the money to live. the variance in a tournament with that many runners is insane. not to mention it's a possibility you might play with scared money, as you're not used to the buyin -- and the competition will be tougher than your used too.

you seem like you're a winner at the smaller MTTs so i'd be grinding if i were you until i have a sufficient BR to take such shots. if you were doing this for fun, and had money to blow, i'd say go for it.

When you fail to cash, how many days will it take to recoup the $109?

It's not a problem tbh. My sister is staking half for the day so my roll is only down $70 from the $300. I'm playin mainly $2 - $5 buyins with a few between $5 - $10 and I will be comfortable enough I think. As I said with some of the pressure off I think it'll be good for me. Wish me luck.

I would say no... but im a bankroll nit.

I would say you should look to satellite in... you seem to have a large edge at $10 tourneys so why not use that edge?
