REQUEST - UKIPT/GUKPT [Aug - Sep 2012] [SOLD OUT]

[SirPercival]

SOLD OUT

My name is Stuart Oliver and if you don"t know me I"m in the photo above when APAT won the APAT forum event. I"m one of the 3 that was shoved to the back (left) alongside the other 2 point scorers, Wayne and Steve.

I am looking to sell 50% of my action at 1.18 for the following events as a package.

24th-27th August - GUKPT Goliath £120

6th-10th September - UKIPT3 Newcastle £770 (capped at 500 runners, £250,000 guarantee)


I am a recreational player and due to work and family I dont play near as often as I would like. This is why APAT suits me well, as they can be combined with weekends away, sometimes with the family in tow too. I have played at least 1 APAT event in every season, sometimes more. I rarely play online and am not posting online rankings because the sample size is tiny and I dont have any results to speak of anyway.

My Hendon mob data is here:


http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=115535


As well as the above I min cashed at last years Goliath (not sure why there isn"t a flag for this but my guess is it"s because they added in prizes for those that made 2 then didn"t make the official money. This included me after I had AA cracked  :"( )

I also made the final table of a Venetian Bounty tournament during the APAT trip to Vegas last year (this was during a Venetian Deepstack event but again I didn"t get a hendon mob flag for it   )

During the same trip I was 4th in a Wynn tournament (other APATers played this and can confirm this if required)

This year I have played only 2 live events at my local casino due to being in the Middle East for work. Now that I"m back I am spending more time with my family hence why I would rather play a few quality events like these and APAT rather than loads of poker online or local events.

Total buy-in for the 2 events is £890. I am selling 50% @ 1.18 therefore

1% = £10.50
5% = £52.50
10% = £105.00

Any added value package that I happen to bink (e.g. champion of champions seat) is included. i.e if you buy 10% of the package you also have 10% of the added value.

I am NOT offering % in 1 of the tournaments. This is a package of 2 which I believe is better value for the backer.

Investors are buying a straight percentage of GROSS WINNINGS from these 2 tournaments. There is no Stake Back or Make-Up involved. E.G. If I cash for a total of £1000 each investor will be paid their percentage of that sum, i.e. 5% = £50.

Payment is by Bank Transfer only - I will sent details by PM if I sell out. If I don"t sell out I will reconsider taking a bigger % myself and liaise with backers.

I will update my progress on Twitter live and will write a brief report after each event on here.

Thanks for reading. If you want to invest (take a punt) then please post here or PM with any questions.

Stuart

OP edited following feedback.

I"ve removed the Genting event and reduced the mark-up making it over 30% cheaper to buy a piece.

Anyone who backs me in these 2 events will have first dabs on a stake of the Genting event in November should I decide to play it.

i.e. Made it a bit cheaper for you Dawn

I will take 5% Stu, let me know how you want the cash.

Are u offering stakeback first before u take % of winnings and makeup if were to back in future stakes?

Also what were buy-ins for Vegas events pls bud?

[suzanne]

I assumed it to mean you cant just back for 1 of the games, has to be both.

Yeah Suz right, its a package of two tourns. Better value to the backer as there is less variance playing two, though some would prefer the big bink of a one off.

No and no to the second bit, would be stipulated in op. You don"t offer makeup in these type of stakes fwiw.

[SirPercival]

I will take 5% Stu, let me know how you want the cash.

Many thanks Suz. Cash will be by bank transfer nearer the time, I will PM you.

Suz and Mal are correct regarding the 2 tournament package. Variance is slightly reduced and I am not offering the opportunity to back me in one and not the other.

I don"t consider makeup to be appropriate for this type of request.

I think I will PM Mal for help on the wording of Stakeback, I had an idea but couldn"t put it into words. Would it make a difference to your decision as to back me or not?

Buy-in for the Vegas events - tbh I can"t remember (must have been something to do with the company I was keeping in Vegas   ). They were around the $100-$200 mark IIRC.

[MAIR]

I will take 5% also please Stuart.  Good luck

Cheers for info and yes would make a difference if offering stakeback or not!!

Not quite sure why dont think makeup is appropriate.....its quite a high risk investment so would definitely sway investors if u were to offer it....I know I certainly would.

TBH dont think will be taking piece though as seems a massive jump up from your ABI.

Not trying to flame just giving my honest opinion and help people with the requests.

Sure you will sell it out so glgl.

[nosey-p]

5% Please Stuart

[SirPercival]

Many Thanks Wayne, much appreciated.

I didnt say this in my OP as I am guessing people who invest in me will know me and my game, however....

I have played 2 WSOP events @ $1500, both of which were paid from local casino winnings (cash and tourneys). A report of one can be found in WPT magazine as I was sat next to Jon Young. In the other I was 400th from 3000+ runners, just missing the cash. I have also played the DTD £330 a few times, once when staked and others when satellitted in. So I don"t see these as a jump up from ABI.

Make-up is not going to happen, its not for me and I wouldn"t want staking under those circumstances. I have already commented on stakeback.

I don"t see your comments as flaming so no worries.
