Selling action WSOP Main Event (#58)
  • Vote Up2Vote Down Jamesp May 2011
    I have recently won a $10,000 USD entry to the WSOP Main Event #58 and I will be selling action for those interested in buying a % of me. A few things to mention regarding this package:

    Payouts will be in USD on the net amount (after taxes),  and then paid out again after the 30% from taxes is recouped (after any fees needed to recoup). Any money won from the WSOP Event #58 is what would be paid out.  Anything earned from any potential promotional items/sponsorship perks are not included. 

    This will be at a mark up of 15% so 1% = $115 USD for example. I will be selling up to 75-80% of myself.  This thread will be updated regularly and your action is only considered booked if I have received the money prior to the start of the Main Event, unless I state otherwise.

    Money can be sent online to Pigga on Pokerstars, cash in person, or possibly cheque or other options that can be discussed w/ me.

    Please keep this thread on topic.

    Heh, I know.  No luck for me tonight.  The guy 3-bet my UTG raise, I 4-bet with AA, he called and flopped the flush.  He's sitting on your right with a huge stack right now.  Very loose aggressive and spewy.  GL.

    Are you interested in trading anywhere from 1% to 5% in swap trade against my tournament play. I will also be playing event #58. You can private message or call if you want to work out any details.

    Absolutely. Rcvd for 1%, let me know if you want more cuz of the transfer limit.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down Pokerdogg May 2011
    James, I just sent $215.  I didn't realize that's the limit before.  I will send the rest tomorrow.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down Traveller99Traveller99 May 2011
    it's easy to request a limit increase BTW. I had the same problem but after I asked for an increase and got it pretty quickly. They gave me 3k/5k/10k limits so no problem now.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down beermankirk May 2011
    Same for me, took like a day and I got the same limits as traveller. You pretty much need to raise limits if you buy and sell pieces of players.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down Pokerdogg May 2011
    James, sorry I had forgotten to send the rest. I will do that when I get home tonight.

    Okay ... shipping my own ME ticket frees up some budget (because I was considering actually buying in). ... I'll add 2% making it 5% so I'm shipping another 230 now.

    Hmmm PokerStars rejected my transfer.  I guess that's what I get for not playing on that site lol.

    "Hello Xxxxx,



    Your transfer has been rejected as we have determined that the
    funds you are transferring originate from recent deposits.



    Please remember that PokerStars cannot be used as a money
    transferring service and please also bear in mind that you should
    only deposit funds when you have the intention to use them at
    tables.



    If you wish to stake other players without playing at the tables
    yourself, then we recommend that you send funds to these players
    using a money transfer service outside of PokerStars.



    Please familiarize yourself with our Terms of Service by viewing
    the following link;

    Dear rickyt88, thank you for your interest, but I have sold all percentage I wish to sell. I have only reserved a small percentage to open swap with any 604'rs that are playing the main event.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down Jamesp June 2011
    As per trav99's post in chris' thread. The amount Rcvd back after taxes would be paid out based on what is rcvd back (I thought u got 30% regardless but I guess I'm mistake ). Sorry if any confusion but haven't had a score yet in the states that has affected me by this yet (until this year OBV). :)

    Rcvd from zoop, Jeremy, Ernest &steve.
    Busted earlier today right before first break. Played 3 hands in the entire level, AKo 2x and QQ. Bustout hand:

    250/500 w/ 50 ante, I'm in BB, folds to seat 6 who opens to 1050, seat 7 and sb call, I look and see AKo, I ship AI for about 15.4 just trying to take the dead money. Original raiser folds seat7 calls sb folds. Seat7 has 77 and I do a lithe fist pump as ace is the window and sure enough that probably jinxed myself as I went A85,6,4 giving him a straight.

    Was a fun experience pushing myself to play my best and see how I coul do. Making day2 was huge for me, as it's the longest I've ever played in a liveament.

    Thanks again to everyone that bought a piece and believed in me. We will getem next year
