Looks like he is serious LOL! But he's charging 5000 for accommodation and food which is 3000 more than if you win your ticket through online qualifiers. Greedy lowlife wants to get his beer and hookers sponsored too!

If he is SO good, why doesn't he enter a satellite in Vegas and get in cheap?

Fun, and yes I think too it's for real.

But the thing is, why doesn't he state his real name? The trustfactor is about zero in my mind.

If he really has been playing poker for 13-14 years and state himself as a pro, then there will definitely be sites with information about him. And by not stating his real name I guess he isn't as good as he want the "buyers" to believe.

My point is he is not very good for 2 reasons because if he was he could:

1) Find a backer quietly
2) Pay a satellite entry out of all the money he supposedly made from poker in 14 years.

1)if you were the guy, would you care if you were good or not if you were getting a free ride?
2)why pay if you can get in for free?

perhaps youre saying that the client would want a better player, which may be true, but its definitely worth a shot for the guy to try.
if somebody would pay my entry, id wear a tshirt that said i svck

I would tattoo the company logo on my ass for a ticket to the wsop plus food...hotel...and hooker accomodations...

I am 34 years old too and made it to the final table on the $10 pokerstars nolimit buy in tournament many a times...

it's kind of interesting to note that a while back there was a guy who was absolutely murdering the crypto 100NL game named doc holl!day or some permutation of this guy's name. He was actually a quite gifted LAG from what i remember.

It seems, from his other items for sale, that he may be some kinda electrician or hardware store worker. Other items for sale. (http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZdocQ5fhollidays)
