*** NOTE *** I am sold out for 2017. Thanks to all for your interest! ***

It's time for the WSOP, and I have again decided to sell pieces of the events I am playing.

Before we get started, here are a few things to consider:

- I am doing this both to reduce variance and to give the PFA community a way to experience some of the excitement of the WSOP without actually attending. However, I would play all of these tournaments with or without any pieces being bought of me.

- I am not promoting this as a great investment opportunity. It's not. It's simply a chance for you to be able to have fun rooting for a WSOP player you know (me), while being financially invested in his results.

- The biggest advantage you get by buying pieces of me is that you know I am 100% reliable. There is zero chance you will get stiffed if I cash, and zero chance I will take your money and run and/or fake playing the events. In addition, as I don't drink or do drugs, you will be assured that I will be playing all of these events in a proper mental and physical state.

- Another big advantage is that I will FREQUENTLY update my chip counts and other tournament info via my "chips" Twitter: http://twitter.com/DanDruffPoker .... so you'll feel like you're actually there.

- This is a straight-up "buy a piece" deal. If you buy pieces of my events and lose, there is no "makeup". The money is gone forever.

- If you finish with a net profit of $600 or more, I will need to send you tax forms. That will require me having your full name, address, and social security number. If you don't feel comfortable with that, I suggest you don't buy any pieces of me. Of course, I will keep all information in the strictest confidence, and will only ask for it if I need to issue you a tax form.

Okay, now that I've gotten that stuff out of the way, let's get to the details...

New for this year: As I am only selling one large buyin event ($10k Limit Holdem), I decided that this one event disproportionately affects my overall success or failure. It is maddening for investors to watch me do fairly well and cash a few times in the other events, only to fall into the negative thanks to a brick in the high-variance $10k Limit Holdem. Therefore, I will be selling TWO SEPARATE PACKAGES -- one with the $10k Limit Holdem only, and the other with everything else together.


Here are the events for sale:

Package #1
6/12 Event #24 $1500 Limit Holdem
6/13 Event #25 $1000 PLO
6/16 Event #32 $1500 Mixed Omaha 8 (PLO8/O8/Big O)
6/17 Event #33 $1500 NL Holdem*
6/27 Event #53 $3000 Limit Holdem 6-Max
6/30 Event #58 $1500 NL Holdem
7/01 Event #60B $888 Crazy Eights NL Holdem 8-handed (will fire up to 2 bullets)*
Package #2
6/19 Event #38 $10,000 Limit Holdem
These encompass all events I plan to play, with the exception of the Main Event -- the only one I'm NOT selling.

(The asterisks indicate events I will miss if I make Day 2 of the previous event.)

Both packages are being sold at 20% markup. I am no longer giving discounts for previous years' buyers.

The total buyin for Package #1 is $11,776 (which includes TWO bullets on the $888 event).

The total buyin for Package #2 is $10,000.

I will be selling 80 shares of the above packages, at a rate of 20% markup. Each "share" gets you 0.5% of my TOTAL cashes for the above events.

This means that each share of Package #1 is $70.66, and each share of Package #2 is $60. A share of both packages would be $130.66.

You may only buy a maximum of 8 shares of me, meaning you will own a maximum of 4% of my action. This would be $1045.28 for both packages. I am doing this in order to give everyone a chance to buy pieces of me.

Once I get to 80 shares sold (40%), I am closing it.

If it seems there isn't enough interest to get me up to 40%, at that point I will open it up for people with 4% to buy more if they want.

Also, the minimum you can buy is one share (0.5%) of BOTH packages ($130.66) or TWO shares (1%) of a single package ($120-$141.32). There are no exceptions to this. You CANNOT buy a single share of one package and nothing else.

If I miss any events, or if I don't use the second bullet for the $888 event, you will get a FULL REFUND, INCLUDING MARKUP for those unplayed events.

If I owe you money and you were waiting to use it to buy pieces of me, please PM me with the details (including the date of our last PM or e-mail discussing it), and I will look into it.

I will be using the free site tastystakes.com to list/manage the pieces of the events I'm selling. However, this will NOT affect the way you pay me. You will be sending all payments to me directly. Tastystakes will simply be used for record-keeping. I will be posting the link to that shortly.

I accept the following payments: Check, money order, cash-in-envelope (your risk in sending it, though), bitcoin, bank transfer (PM me for bank info), cash deposit into my bank (again, PM me for bank info). If you are mailing me a check/money order/cash, please PM me for the address. There are also "other methods" of payment I will accept. PM me for that information.

Unless I know you really well, I can't "hold" pieces for you until I actually have your money in hand. It's first come, first served.

Feel free to post any questions.

Please do NOT clutter this thread with trolling, nonsense, or debates whether or not my markup is a good value. If you wish to make such commentary, feel free to start a different thread. This thread is only for direct discussion of people interested in buying WSOP pieces.
