|
|
I am offering to stake someone 100% in the 10+1 100K guarantee that starts at 1530 ET.
Conditions:
1) First post in this thread gets it.
2) Must have been a member for a year or more, and at least 50 posts. Sorry, those conditions are cast in stone.
3) I pay 100% of the buy in, you give me 50% of any prize.
4) No proof of skill requirements; I am aware that it is a gamble.
5) It will be a field of over 10000 entrants. You must be able to play for many hours.
This is primarily intended for someone that plays low stakes cash games who wants to take a freeroll shot at potentially thousands of dollars. |

Where is everyone? Am I first? Better type quick.
Can I play if I'm qualified to play?

I think I tick all the boxes. Got 2000 posts and have cashed in this before.
emmapeel9 (edinburgh.) on Stars if you still want to do this.

| oh, and I didn't specify. No stakeback on this one. The prize is split 50-50, even though I'm aware I might get less than the buy in back on a minimum cash, no big deal. Hopefully, you cash for hundreds (thousands) and it's a non-issue. |

Just cashed. AQ < A3 was the main culprit. Very tough to get far in this. Really enjoyed this tournament though as you have to play fast to keep up.
Let me know the amount to send and to where. thx again.
Oh it's $20. 11

Well played, it's very tough to cash in a field that size (at least that's what I tell myself every sunday that I fail!)
Plus, kudos to Toom. |

Emma, great job! Any cash in a field of 20,000 plus is huge. The way I see it, getting most or all of your buy in back is a great return. Any actual profits are gravy.
Two options:
1) send half back to Mere's Dad (Dayton) or
2) keep it and play the 10+1 of your choice (or 2 5.50s) under the same terms (you get a slightly higher percentage since my share isn't the whole buy-in , say 60 for you and 40 for me).
Either way, entirely your option.
Mac, thanks, but I'm not the first to do this. I believe jrspm did it when the Sunday 100k first started running. I just felt like it today, plus nobody was offering buy-a-piece. |

I'm going to use the money to play the tournaments as suggested . I'd like to keep it 50/50 though to keep things simple; the terms are way generous as it is.
I'll post back in the next couple of days to show how I did.

OK, the staking tourneys are a $5 on stars in 20 mins and 3 hoursish later I'll play the 5K.

Hey, you don't have to be first for it to be cool
Wonder if the poker gods were watching? |
