Selling Main Event action
Posted in Poker | View Comments (6)
 

I've decided to sell action to the ME at 1.4:1 if you can get me cash or 1.5:1 if you pay online.

That's my PokerStars OPR. 82% ROI over 700 tournaments with a $137 average buyin. My FTP stats (ELMO_MASK) had similar volume and average buyins with ~50% ROI before OPR got rid of FTP stats. I have a few significant cashes in live tourneys including 40th in last year's PCA for $35,000. I've played about 20 major live tourneys and a decent amount of cash games and feel like I can play live very comfortably.

I have a SNG/MTT background but have been playing predominantly cash games for the last few years. I think my edge in this tournament is quite large given my experience in MTTs and also my cash game skills which are key with such a deep structure.

I'm selling action to decrease my personal variance but I think selling with less markup would be too -EV for me and I would rather have my own action if that were the case. Feel free to ask any questions, PM is the easiest way to contact me.

EDIT: Sold-out

gl in the tourny. i don't get what you and others who play 5/10 and higher are selling off action for. this is the softest tournament in existence and despite it being super high variance it is definitely worth the personal risk imo. you know you could easily make the amount you sell off playing cash games in a relatively short period of time. anyone who drivers a BMW shouldnt be selling action..maybe swapping. not trying to hate or anything. just wanted to share my opinion. ship it!

With other events and me buying pieces I'm risking about 50k this WSOP and am trying to spread it out as much as possible to decrease variance. I'm comfortable with half or a little more of myself and even though I know I'm missing out on some value it's just a bit too much variance for me for the full 10k.

So far Jason Su has 2%, klink10k has 5%, siac0 has 5%.
