[mylesfdo]

MYLESFDO"S WSOP.com CHRISTMAS CRACKER MAIN EVENT........ONLY 30% REMAINING!!.....OPEN FOR BUSINESS UNTIL 7PM!!



ONLY ME!!

I AM HAPPY TO LEAVE THIS OPEN AND STILL TAKE INVESTMENTS UP UNTIL 7PM

Think most of you will know me from on here now so will drop the opening spiel!!

Bit of a last minute decision but have managed to wangle weekend off work so I'm going to be playing Main Event of the WSOP.com Christmas Cracker at local casino, The Rendezvous, Brighton.

It's a two day event starting on Saturday 15th Dec with buy-in of £200+20 and a £14k GTD.

Link to festival flyer: http://brighton.rendezvouscasino.com/uploads/casinogames/1352245597_3063_christmas_cracker.pdf

I'm looking to sell up to 50% of my action with NO mark-up.  I will be playing this event whatever % I manage to shift.

1%=£2.20
5%=£11.00
10%=£22.00

Recent festival Main Events have seen great turnouts and I expect there to be 100+ runners with a top prize of approx £5/6k and as always with cards coming my way and luck on my side I stand as good a chance as any of getting a nice score in this event.

Little Bit About Me!!:

I have been playing poker for approx 15 years now starting off with 7-card stud and then progressing onto NLHE when the boom took off.

I have had some relatively nice scores for a recreational player both online & live in the UK and Vegas and have played multiple EPT, GUKPT, UKIPT and WSOP events.

I have also worked in the poker industry as Area Manager for a local pub league and as live updater/blogger for a poker website covering major live events.  Both of these jobs have enabled me to gain great knowledge of the game and see a huge variety of different styles of players playing our beloved game!!

Please note that the Venetian figures are actually incorrect as deals/savers were done and total cashes for the series were approx $25k.

Is it too late to take 10%? Am in Barbados at the moment (blatant brag) and so am a bit behind here! won"t be able to get the money to you either; do say if that"s a problem.

No prob Joe....10% booked.....just send money when u can mate....I know where u live!!

Well that was bit of anti-climax....after getting beat up first few hands and then basically totally card dead for 5 hours and dropping to below 10k I grind it back up to 100k+ going into last lvl of night.

1st hand in pick up 77 in cut off and raise 2.5x....bb repops to 5x....lot of history here and he is serial raiser with air....I flat....flop is T high and he leads out for 2/3 pot.....I reraise thinking he is on total air, draw or A high......he moves all in and has me covered....have to fold leaving me about 50k :-(

Rest of lvl totally card dead and when do pick up raising/stealing hand get rehsoved on or flated and then bet out of pot of flop......bagged up 24k but am on button when we go back at 3pm tomorrow so have a few hands to pray!!.....blinds gonna be 1.5k/3k 300 with 22 left and only final 9 getting paid due to lowish turnout of 86 runners.....£5.6k up top.

Its gonna be tough but with an early double through I am confident in my play from today....only really made 1/2 real mistakes....so at least we still in and who knows.

glgl to us....back on twitter from 3pm.

No probs Joe.......it £22 fyi but guessing u might be on US pc with no ££ sign!!....off to San Fran tomorrow for 3 weeks and got couple things hitting bank when away so anytime before Christmas would be great!!

Brutal end to it..........start day as prob the super short stack with under 25k and blinds at 1.5k/3k 300....get a nice early double with Ax holding against TJ blind on blind.......grind it up to over 150k and looking good for FT with 15 left.

Then this...........66 utg and raise it up....flatted by mid pos and bb......flop K69.....happy days.......all check...turn blank.....I check and mid posy leads out for 16k odd.....bb folds.....I raise to 40k and he moves all in....obv snap him off and get shown 99 .....FML......dunno how can get away from it and with my stack think was right to be raising there utg.....maybe could have flatted on turn and called river but reallly didnt expect to be shown set over set there and aiming to get it all in........280k pot and takes me from pretty much out to chipleader in 90 mins!!  Left with a bowl and bust next hand in bb with Ax against 22 with 2 as door card!!

Again I played pretty well imho and only really made 1/2 real mistakes for the whole tourney.......just didnt really get going after getting beaten up a bit v early. and was pretty much card dead throughout.....played the shortstack well, built it back up then made a mistake and got punished in last lvl of night.....then cooler above just to polish it off!!

Anyway sorry couldnt get us a score guys but Im sure something is coming for me in one of these festival events and will be playing as many as I can in the New Year.

Off to US for 3 weeks tomorrow morning so like to take this opportunity to thank u for all your support as a new member/player on here and wish everyone of u a fantastic Christmas and a very merry New Year......see u on the other side in 2013.

Thanks again and glgl to one and all for 2013.

Unlucky, Myles. It sounds like you played a good tourie and had a shocking cooler at the end. You need the luck I had at the last one of these events!

I"ll get the £22 to you on the 19th. Have a great trip!
