WSOP Staking

I decided to try my luck in Vegas again this year ... right now I'm planning to play the $10k main event, and a $1k no-limit hold'em event. You can check out my report from last year in case you missed it: http://samsvegastrip.blogspot.com/.

Like last year, I'm looking to get staked for a decent percentage of my buy-ins to cut down on variance. After talking to some people, I decided that I'll be doing 1.1-1 markup like last year -- so e.g., you would put up $110 if you want 1% of my main event payoff.

If you're interested in buying a piece, please send me an email at beseriouspoker@gmail.com with "WSOP STAKING" as the title. Please let me know what % you are interested in of the $1k event or $10k main event (or both). Right now I'm not imposing a minimum (or maximum) share size, so feel free to propose whatever you want.

Also, please let me know how you want to pay -- transfer on Pokerstars would be the easiest, though transfer on FTP or sending a check work too (screen name is 'beserious' on both sites). Also let me know how you want to get paid after the events are done. I'll send you an email back confirming the agreement and the method of payment.

Even if you don't really play or follow poker, this is a good chance to make a +EV investment, and hopefully it will be exciting following my progress. Like last year, I'll be blogging regularly during the events. I'll also be setting up a twitter account so I can text shorter updates during the day.
