Mylesfdo"s MONDAY GRIND!!.......NEW SCHEDULE FOR NEXT WEEK PLS CONFIRM IF IN.......KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR RAIL UPDATES BELOW
EDIT-Due to the interest in this I have decided to release an additional 20% of my share available ONLY to backers in my recennt live stake.
Hi Guys
My name is Myles Phago & I am relatively new to the Forum and APAT in general and due to work commitments most weekends have unfortunately only been able to attend one APAT live event therefore not many of you will know me in person but I have been trying to put my say in on the forum and especially on the staking board...I hope that this will not deter you from investing in the following stake!!
I have just run the following live stake on the forum with unfortunately no success :( after a couple of nasty hands >:(:
http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=11741.0 (http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=11741.0)
I have recently been excluding myself on Stars as I got fed up with all the sick beats ??? I was getting on there but this has now been lifted and I have decided to give my Monday Grind another shot and intend to run the following schedule next Monday 10th Sept(Tuesdays are my only full day off hence not a Sunday grind!!):
2.00pm: Big $5.50 $20k GTD
2.15pm: $5.50 2R 1A $5k GTD Total=$20.50
4.00pm: Big $8.80 $25k GTD
4.15pm: $5.50 2R 1A $5k GTD Total=$20.50
4.50pm: $22 Big $109 Satty Big $109 to be played if seat won
5.00pm: Big $22 $50k GTD
6.00pm: $5.50 $5k GTD
6.00pm: $22 $12k GTD
6.50pm: $11 Big $55 Satty
7.00pm: Big $11 $60k GTD
7.30pm: $13.50 KO $8k GTD
8.00pm: Big $55 $80k GTD(buy-in only to be used if satty seat above NOT won)
Total Buy-Ins=$217.30
I am looking to sell 50% of my action in the above schedule with NO mark up:
10%-$21.73
5%-$10.87
1%-$2.17
If I do not sell the full 50% I will have a look at what has been invested and decide whether to increase my share or reduce the schedule and pm/poll backers on how they wish to proceed.
As this is a relatively big schedule for me I will reserve the right to alter/amend the schedule depending on how I am feeling and possibly drop some tournies if I am running deep and need to reduce the number of screens being played for concentration purposes. Rest assured though I will be playing as many as possible!! Any unused buy-ins will obv be added back into the closing BR.
I feel that these GTD and BIG tournies on Stars are massive value and offer the chance of huge scores for relatively minimal outlay. The standard in them is often atrocious and if you are able to survive the bad beats for the first couple of hours and built a semi decent stack up you stand a great chance of getting a nice score.
I will attempt to run a rail in this thread showing running BR, tournies played, break updates, major swing hands and bust hands but pls bear in mind this might not always be possible due to the number of tournies being played and I would much rather be concentrating on playing rather than updating rail!!
Little Bit About Me!!:
I have been playing poker for approx 15 years now starting off with 7-card stud and then progressing onto NLHE when the boom took off.
I have had some relatively nice scores for a recreational player both online & live in the UK and Vegas and have played multiple EPT, GUKPT, UKIPT and WSOP events.
I have also worked in the poker industry as Area Manager for a local pub league and as live updater/blogger for a poker website covering major live events. Both of these jobs have enabled me to gain great knowledge of the game and see a huge variety of different styles of players playing our beloved game!!

Please note that the Venetian figures are actually incorrect as deals/savers were done and total cashes for the series were approx $25k.
TBH I've never really liked Stars but obv with no Full Tilt around there is not really much other choice to get great GTD tournies at relatively low buy-ins!! I've not had any major scores on Stars as these have mainly come on Tilt and I have included OPR links to both sites below:
