WSOP Main Event Staking Package has been posted - get a piece while you can

I just finished posting my staking package on allvegaspoker.com

I decided to put it there first because I have a strong sense of loyalty to the site and wanted to give members a chance to buy a piece.   I will eventually move it to 2+2 if it doesn't sell out quickly enough.   I have a  good amount of work-related and non-poker friends who will probably buy action so I'm actually hoping I don't even need to move it to 2+2.  we'll see...

anyways, I am excited and feel like I'm well prepared to take a deep run in the tourney.

Here is a link to my staking package if interested...

Good Results so far with turbo MTTS (small sample)

Since January, I've been mixing in turbo MTTs to help me prepare for the main event in July.   I can only swing 2-3 hour sessions due to work and family and only at  nights 3-4 days a week tops.   Not many $11+ turbo MTTs run at night so I've only been able to mix in maybe 2-3 at a time when I play (the $5s just aren't worth my time despite how soft they are).  

To keep the volume rolling I'm stacking all the $20 and up DoNs that run and also starting to mix in any $20 and up 9 mans that run.   Volume keeps declining on Merge so I'm struggling some nights just to get 10 tables going hence I've started to add the 9mans (I played this a lot pre BF).  However, mixing these different types together I prob can't play more than 15 at a time anyways.

So far results have been pretty solid.  I've played a little over 150 with a solid ROI of 84%.   I suspect this ROI is unsustainable and too high so I'll enjoy it for now.  

I've also been doing fine in the DoNs that I've mixed at the same time.   It helps keep the extra cash flowing especially since Merge modified their rakeback returns in February (effectively scooping prob $10 an hour off my profits).  

So I'll keep playing anyways... stay tuned for a post about my pending WSOP Main Event journey.  I'll be playing Day 2 and staying at the Rio!

Here's a graph of my turbo MTTs and DoNs this year (rakeback included on DoNs)
