Rather than a serious request this is more of a feeler to see if anyone is silly enough to take some of my action into a tournament! The Sunday Million begins at 6am Monday if you live in Brisbane, so for the most part work rules me out of contention. This coming Monday is a Holiday and I'm tempted to play! This is by no means certain and it's unlikely I'll have the time in the leadup to try and satellite in.

I have zero tournaments recently, I mostly play cash games and I suspect the EV of me playing the million is borderline at best. I would most likely be looking for about 50% worth of stakes or something along those lines with relatively normal terms for if I happen to make money.

If you ARE interested.. well don't say I didn't warn you! Laughing

An alternative that you may want to consider, if you don't want to fork over the $215, is the $25k Guarantee that starts 30 mins after the Million. The buy-in is $55 and the prizepool typically exceeds 75k. Although the top end payouts are not as glamorous as the Million they still pay about 15k to first and the field is weak in this tourny. It is one of my favorite Sunday MTTs.

I second this, the field is absolutely horrible on a Sunday.

I think you're underestimating your EV in the million though. If you play I'd be more than happy to stake you.

Thanks for the tip on the 25k, if I'm awake I'll almost certainly play that too. As for the million, well if I can pick up about $100 worth of stakers then I'll play, if not I probably won't, so if anyone is still interested let me know.

That's what I had in mind!

I've got 10% from KT and 5% from Dan K so far, so with 5% from Taz I'm looking for about 30% more!

My stars name is the same as my ITH name. City is Brisbane.

5% for Kinnipak makes 25%.
Chris, 5% or 10% is totally up to you.

Thanks for the support guys. I love this place so much.
