Default Please don\'t send Tenacious A to the WSOP!!!!!

With the overwhelming success of “Operation Send Granny to Vegas”, I thought I would offer up my services as well. I am looking for backers to raise half my entry for a $10/1 Stars Quadruple Shootout WSOP satellite. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to back me for more than one penny, so I’ll need 550 people to transfer me $.01 on Stars.

I would offer up the same percentage deal that Granny offered her backers. All I would have to do for you to get money back is beat the other 1295 contestants in the shootout and then make the money in the biggest WSOP field ever. That, my friends, is a lay-up. Count on it.

Since my postings are infrequent and Lord knows I’m no Granny, here are a couple of important tidbits about me before you consider giving up one of your hard earned pennies…

In live play, I have a lot of tells, including wetting myself when I have a good hand.

I may not be particularly bright, but I more than make up for that with my excellent peripheral vision.

I am at my all-time high weight. (Moneymaker, Fossilman, Tenacious A)

Thank you and goodnight,
TA

Will you pay for the legal fees for the lawyer drawing up the contract like Granny?

you did not cover the possibility of just winning the cash at the final-table of this event ($360 or something).

I assume my $0.01 investment is good for a share of that should it happen.


Also - can you really transfer $0.01 via stars? I will if it's possible.


Also - FeliciaLee reported a few months ago of some guy selling shares in himself on e-bay for $3.30 or something so that he could play in some $330 tourney in Vegas. He promised to be as drunk as possible and to not play very well...he listed among his qualifications that fact that he has actually seen Chan and Raymer play.
Fairly amusing. He surprised himself by actually selling all the shares I believe.



I wish you good luck in your quest....and if we can clear up that little issue about what happens if you win a cash-prize instead of the seat I'll be happy to invest. I might even consider purchasing 2 or 3 shares if that would be okay.

That is a great question. Do lawyer's generally cost more than $5.50? I may be in over my head.

Microbob,
I should have put "sweating" as one of my credentials. I generally dismiss posts with titles like "come sweat dumbass69 at the final table", but happened to be online when you got to heads up in the Stars double shootout. I logged on just about the time you were skillfully rivering a 3 en route to your WSOP seat. I'm 1 for 1 in sweat, so your involvement in my WSOP bid can only lead to solid gold.

The Ebay guy you mentioned is a genius. And here I thought Ebay was just a place for me to sell my limited edition Norwegian Independence Day t-shirts. If Stars is unwilling to transfer 550 pennies, I may need to use Ebay or Paypal instead, although I wonder what the fee is on a one cent Paypal transfer.

And, yes, good point there is opportunity for investors to make money if I merely beat 1290 players in the shootout and win the final table boobie prize of $360ish.

flattery will get you everywhere.


glad you were able to make it time to bring me an adequate amount of sweat-karma to make that rivered 3 happen.
