Secondary Staking Opportunity - Sun - May 18th

[taz115]

I’m definitely in the tourney mood, and I’m thinking that I may play a couple more MTTs this weekend depending on how my schedule and my other main MTTs are going. It is very likely that I’ll play the FTOPs event as it starts earlier but I won’t pay the Second Chance unless I’m only currently in 2 or fewer other MTTs. So if I go deep in my other 3 tournys (which I plan to) I’ll not play that one and I’ll return any unused stakes on a proportional basis.

Here are the tourny’s I have my eye on:

14.00 ET - FTOPS #23 (6-max KO) - $256 ($216 + $40 bounty)
Stars Second Chance : $215

I might play these without staking, if I don’t get any, or I might not play them at all. Just so any potential backers know the Second Chance tourney is tougher than the Million as there are no satellites for it, but I have played it in the past and I’m pretty certain that I should still be EV in this one (although my edge is definitely smaller). I’ve played several 6-max tournys on Stars (mostly at the $55 and $77 levels) and I have done quite good in them, check my OPR if you’d like. I’d guess that played 8-10 of these and I’ve had 1 FT and 1 top 10 in 6-max MTTs.

Total potential buy-ins are $471. I’ll sell up to 60% and I’ll even swap shares if another proven player is planning on playing either of these events. 1% share goes for $4.71. Certainly do not feel obliged to purchase any as ITH has been generous to me this past month whenever I’ve asked to raise stakes for my MTTs.

Oh right... if your planning on buying any I slightly prefer FTP to taz115 but I'll also accept Stars to Zutzman(Edmonton)

[krazytxan]

If you play, I will buy 5-10%.

I am in a mood to watch someone win me money!!

[LDorey]

in for 5 $23.55 shipped from LJD1019 on Full Tilt

[markrounder7282]

I'm in for 10%, shipping $47.10 to Zutzman, sorry, no money on FT.

[markrounder7282]

Crap, I deposited $ on Stars with the intention of transferring to taz for the stake. But it says I can't transfer until the deposit clears. anyone know how long that takes?

[jrspm]

I'll take 5% - money shipped.

[taz115]

I'm playing in FTOPS #23 for sure. It starts i, 15 mins so I'm cutting off any new stakers.

Will report back when possible.

Ugh... out after 40 mins.

Not much went my way... guy to my left was reraising me a ton and I picked up AQ with a stack of 2k raised to 150, he reraised to 550, and I pushed and his 99 held.

Maybe I should have called his raise there but I'd called several of his raises so far and he took the pot when I missed the flop.

I'm not sure if I'm playing the Second Chance yet or not as it depends on how my other tournys go... I'll post here when I know.

Sorry for the bad start

[taz115]

I'm not going to be playing the Second Chance today... sorry... I'll return the proportion of stakes after I'm done my other MTTs.

[taz115]

I'll settle up these stakes tomorrow. markrounder dont worry about shipping me any funds until I work out what I owe eveyone.
