Title: Staking Proposal for Las Vegas, November 2013 SOLD OUT
Post by: Fatcatstu on October 09, 2013, 20:06:18 PM
Hi all, been inspired by Brian "Erimus14" Harland and his Vegas staking, so decided to do a little one of my own :)

Last time i went over, I played in 5 and cashed 4 of them, including final tabling the APAT North American Championships and doing a chop for the Harrahs local tourny.

This time in vegas, I want to play a little more poker and as such am looking at putting together a little schedule to play, not on the scale of Brians, but then I intend to spend a little more time enjoying soe fantastic peoples company, playing Pai Gow and generally enjoying myself :)

As always, playing these tournaments would depend on how I am feeling at the time, if I am not feeling great, or morale is low, or i get dragged to a strip joint etc then i wont play and will be refunding the stakes for that tournament when I get back from Vegas.

So, the tournaments that I would like to be staked for are as follows.

08/11/13 Binnions          2pm      $100
09/11/13 C palace          2pm.     $ 82.50 (Apat) (2 day)
11/11/13 Aria.                1pm      $150
12/11/13 Bellagio           2pm      $130
13/11/13 C Palace.         12pm    $140
Total buyins are $602.50, and i am looking to sell 50% with no markup, so:

5% = $30.10
10% = $60.20

so at an exchange rate of 1.59 that makes

5% = £18.90
10% = £37.80

Reserving 10% for Rodders as he has backed me in everything i have done so far!

Money will be by bank transfer only and alot closer to the date, backers will be notified when it is required.


Thanks for reading, hope we can make some moneys!!

10% Steve Roderick
20% Ger Smyth Snr.
10% Phil Tompkinson
10% James Barber.

I"m with you Phil....if I wanted to play poker what the hell would I go to Vegas for?

I can play in Stratford or Southend for a heck of a lot less.

Youth of today...I just don"t get them. :)

Right guys, been a change of plan (subject to your approval of course)

Myself and Rodders have reviewed the prices of the tournies, and there appears to be some differences to what was originally thought, and to go with this I am looking at doing the Big O tournament in the Venetian Deepstack event, which is a bit more expensive.

So new stake will look like this, let me know if you want to drop out or anything, its not a problem if you do.


Binions is $80
APAT $135
Aria $125
Bellagio $125
PLO at Veneitian $348

so 10% would now be $82.

Like i say, let me know if this is ok ASAP please guys, need to get bank transfers organised from a couple of you
