WSOP Main Event

no opt in on sharkscope? oO

Real hard to say. If you play your B game or better and dont punt unneccessarily id say 1.4:1

But ive watched a few of your videos and read your write up last year, you do get more aggro in spots raising turns with weak draws and pounding rivers which increases chances of busting vs stationy players. I dunno what is exactly best in an mtt cause you will pile up chips sometimes and other times bust day 1 in spots where other good players wouldnt. Either way you have a big roi though. Gl

1.4:1 wow? :O
How much do you think the German pros got for One Drop daut?

marshall payed off daut to overvalue him, they are going to split any profit above 1.2

this is the main event. it gets 6000 people and has a ridiculously slow structure.... i would sell myself at 1.4:1, and marshall is a much better/tougher NL player than me. i just have a bit more experience in mtts and am better short, but im unconvinced my low variance style is better than his for the main. i mean really marshall might be one of those freaks with a 200% ROI cause hes tough as shit. who knows though, 1.4:1 is very safe.

one drop gets 50 people, 90% of whom are super tough and the structure is very fast. not even remotely comparable

1.4 is not that much tbh for a live event that soft as the ME.

to be honest i could probably sell myself at 1.6:1. i know some players that do and sell easily. but i think its unfair to investors

Well you know, the guy who is asking isnt the crazy one, but the one paying the price. But it wouldnt be so unfair imo, its just crazy soft and super deep.

lol @ main event. Last time I played live this ugly girl was bragging about how she bought into WSOP ME. Pretty sure she lives in a shitty 1 bedroom apartment with her cat, and she somehow scraped up 10k to buy in, lasted 3 days I think she said. She's like "I always wanted to sit at those tables, so I said why not, YOLO!". I'd buy all of Marshall's action if I could afford it.

thanks for all that ... i think those types of turn raise spots are really not that good against people who aren't good players. the field is so weak that i remember a few spots that i actually overplayed my hands on the flop then had to fold 2 pair on the turn (this happened more than once i recall). so i would say my style is probably more similar to yours in that i just try to play low variance and not make any big mistakes, get my hands in good and just hope they hold.

the biggest mistakes i made last year had to do with 3bet bluffing too much with blockers pre. i remember multiple spots where i would 3bet a utg open w/ stuff like KQo then fired two bets when i couldn't get guys to fold even JJ on low-ish boards. this year i'm going to avoid playing pots in these spots and play much tighter preflop. i think i lost a lot of chips last year doing that--so much that i could have lasted til maybe the top 100 by just folding every hand.

Depends on if you plan to get shitfaced like last year

This post is so great.

anything above 1.3 is a ripoff.
1.1 to 1.3 is reasonable imo

i think i'd buy somewhere around 5-10% at the 1.4:1 Daut said (as long as you don't drink too much!)

i will be out there sporadically and can give you cash at some point before Main

ITT low stakes cash players try to educate an experienced MTT player and backer on what markup is fair in the WSOP main event.

dont mean to be a dick with this comment, but come on lol. has anyone who said 1.4 is absurd even played the main event before?

i don't think they realize the implications considering a big score, or the other costs associated with going to play the event, let alone pete's edge.

GL, I look forward to your write ups and (knock on wood) final table

i haven't received one PM from anyone interested ... is it too early? I'm gonna be travelling through Europe all of June. will be back in san diego july 1st then heading to Vegas July 7th to play Day 3.

i'm not pressuring anyone to buy at 1.4. i was just looking for offers.

i definitely want to do well and there's nothing that would stop me from wanting to do the best i possibly can for myself (particularly since i'll have at minimum half my action). i'd feel absolutely stupid for wasting my own time.
