Bankroll.

Mainly because it"s Vegas. It"s WSOP time, it"s summer. If you structure your package, you are basically saying I"m playing these on this day. From experience, Vegas doesnt do structure, and from the investor"s POV, we wouldnt want you playing hungover/because you had to (not that you would, I"m being quite general here lol). Bankroll just gives you more freedom to enjoy Vegas.

Yeah, it is my holiday of the year after all (like the WCOAP wasn"t a holiday, nor was Stoke, or that time off in January, or when I went to London that other time...)

It"s not just an either/or question regarding that, happy to be quizzed/challenged on any aspect :)

+1 to this for sure.......would take a piece and would defo like to see some ME sats gtd to be played(if u are there for ME obv!!) either in MTTs or the multitude of SNGs available.......and ME to ve included and played if seat won as its such a great structure and offers massive value with just a min cash......Venetian Deepstacks are a must imo as well!!

Could you not do a bit of both?

It would mean that you could tie yourself to certain events ,like the $1500 PLO8 but then have the freedom to play other events when we"re not living it up at a cowboy bar eating 5lb steaks :)

You know I would take some of you, Dave, but I wouldn"t back someone who wasn"t putting some in themselves. If you are suggesting doing that, I would pass.

Surely DH has to option of buyin some of the BR anyways....

I will throw this outthere, but Dave has 2 big plus" in his arsenal.

1. He doesnt drink and therefore will not have hangovers etc to worry about

2. He has great discipline.  If he doesnt feel he will play his best, he wont just jump in for the sake of it.

Id buy some if funds are available nearer the time :)
