Hey all,

Well I closed this stock and shipped funds to almost all of you, a couple of you I am sorting out the details with, thanks so much for backing me, sorry about the downswing on the last month, I'm glad things ended in profit again but in spite of a really rough final stretch. I just posted a new stock this morning so have a look at that one.

Thanks again,

gl in your games,

Hey all,

The stock is now getting within reach of the 14k rollover point again (knock on wood), however I've talked with a couple investors about not rolling over this time and just running the stock until it's final close date in late August. There's a few reasons:

1.) I'd like to play some of the FTOPS events and the current bankroll allows for that, resetting to 7k would not.

2.) I'd like to continue to play the ring games at $400 buyin level cause it's getting into real money territory.

3.) I don't want to roll over to 7k and then have a chance the the stock closes on a downswing which would have me owing Cake on a stock that has been profitable over the summer.

4.) It saves me $100 in PBT fees. :D

So, I'm asking for approval from you as investors for me to continue on with this version 3.0 of the stock until it closes in late August, even if it passes the doubling point of 14k.

thanks as always for backing,

Ok, everyone can breath a sigh of relief... we're back in the +++  This was the worst 2 weeks of poker in my life, but I feel I went through some very strong game assessment time as well as having my confidence shaken and finding it again so I feel I'm coming out of it a better poker player.

I played a game that was over the roll today on UB just cause I saw the field and really wanted to play it, just an FYI if I didn't cash I would've just posted it as a $200 loss so basically those situations are a $300 freeroll for my investors.

Anyways finally got a cash and erased the downslide with 6th place on UB's 100k guaranteed.

thanks as always for backing me,

Hey all,

Well, it's been a horribly disappointing week, I went to vegas last weekend and got crushed, came back here and haven't won a thing of note... I came close to a couple runs yesterday but once again came up cashless on a Sunday. I'm going to take a bit of a break now that I've driven this stock back into the ground, so I'm not sure what kind of volume I will be putting in through this week. I'm not really a play through it kind of player so I need to take some time to refocus and look through my game for mistakes etc.

So, just wanted to apologize for the horrible downswing, and give you a headsup that volume may slow for a little bit while I look to make adjustments. I'm doing my best to get this back on track.

cheers,

gl in all your games,

Hey all,

Just a heads up that I'm going to Vegas tomorrow until Tuesday ... sweet sweet vegas... So I won't be putting in any volume and more importantly won't be around to check my email.  I'll pick the stock back up on tuesday night or wednesday.

gl in your games, WOOO Vegas!!!!!!

cheers.

Hey all,

As you may have seen I've been chosen as a diamond fund horse so I will be running the occasional MTT for that fund. My concern was that if I go deep in a diamond fund stock it is not fair to my longer term investors in this stock who would be missing out on profits that normally fall under this stock. I considered not playing as a diamond fund horse but I feel that this is good advertising for me as a horse which may help stock sales in future stocks.

The solution I've chosen is to move forward with is to stay on as a diamond horse, and play out the stocks as they appear. If I run deep enough to cash in the tourney I will add my share of the profits to this rail... this way the investors of this stock receive a bonus at no risk, and I get to play the funds.

I just wanted to update you on this as I will be playiing a tourney for the diamond fund soon.

cheers, gl us and gl in your games.

Ok I made an executive decision so we can move forward with the stock, the good news is we're out of the gate with a solid start. I'm happy to report a 3rd place in the PLO8 4k on FTP. I'm still very new to O8 so I'm pretty happy with this result. Thanks to AJB4 for his coaching.

So we'll be moving forward with regular volume again most likely tonight... unless I decide to go out drinking...

Hey all,

Sorry for the delay in the restart of this stock, there's a bit of confusion with a few shares and I'm waiting to hear back from the member involved. I'll get it underway as soon as this is resolved, any games I play will be for this stock and I will update the rail on startup.

Aside from this, I have some unfortunate news on the rollover. There was an error in the rail of 2.0, I was unaware of this when I closed it and rolled over, but there was a period of time during 2.0 that losses were not affecting the roll. I did the math on the difference and had Fasteddy confirm, the rail came in $753 more than actual.

So, what this means is that profit amounts shipped were inflated, I have talked to admin and decided that I would prefer not to mark the 753 now and start the rail at $6250, but instead I will wait until we either reach the double or the stock closes and will deduct the difference then. So, please make a note of this in your personal records and keep this PM in the interest of clarity when I next make shipments.

Sorry to report this, thanks again for backing me,

P.S. I'm playing a small PLO8 game to start 3.0 and I'm on the bubble atm so it looks like we're starting 3.0 in the right direction... good news!

Ok all, so 3.0 stock is created and I've reserved and sold all stocks for you, just to be clear, I shipped profits and rolled over initial investments, and you do not ship as requested by PBT for these funds.

cheers,
