Is that a well known guy? Lol at that scheme.
Unsure. Was wondering if some pros here knew him, I think a few people play in Florida fairly regularly?
Possibly the most ridiculous markup in poker history. From what I’ve seen she is a losing Wynn 1/3 player.

Yeah you’re absolutely flushing money away doing that. She has something like $8k in lifetime live cashes and is going to just do a $50k schedule?
Lol.
Edit: 8k is her biggest, it’s 22k total*
Why is there this weird thing in poker about shaming people for asking for high markup? Let people sell pieces of themselves for whatever they want, and people will buy if they want to or not.
If I’m gonna play a 1.5k, and want to charge 2x markup, who cares? Maybe I’m only interested in selling at that price and otherwise I’d rather have 100% of myself.
Not everything needs to be a good investment, especially when gambling related.

Can someone translate this for me like I’m a noob who has never sat at a poker table? I haven’t played a tournament in 10 years and my last WSOP was over 15 yrs ago. I’m not even sure what “markup” is.
I think it’s fair to ask whatever markup you want but I think it’s also fair for people to mock bad markups.
You are right though that everything doesn’t need to be a profitable buy. There are other reasons someone might buy something.
It’s no different than pointing out excessive rake.
The main event costs $10k to enter. If you want to buy say 10% of poker bunny, you can do so. The cost is the entry cost ($10k * 10% = $1k) * the markup (1.4 for main). $1k * 1.4 = $1400 for 10% of poker bunnies main event results.
Sooooo this.
It’s mostly a scam on people who don’t know any better, and they are definitely being taken advantage of. I’m usually in the “good for you, make money” camp but Shaun deeb and the markup police are right in this corner.
Dafuq? LOL!!
The correct play for her has to be to take a page out of The Producers playbook. Are their any safeguards against players selling >100% of themselves?
It’s happened.
Basically don’t buy off of anyone you don’t really trust.
Some people have been dumb enough to cash tournaments they have sold over 100% in.
What’s the PokerBunny general trust level in the poker world?
Wow.
Hellmuth could sell probably a 150k package at 1.8 or higher for the series.
You’d be fine with this?
I genuinely don’t understand why? The problem with Deeb’s argument is he assumes the entire value of buying a piece of someone comes from the dollar EV. Millions of people make bets every second in hundreds of thousands of casino worldwide. Why is poker so special? If people want to gamble on a -EV bet for fun why do we need people yelling at them?
Is Deeb standing at the roulette table telling people “hey guys your return is 47.4%!”
Is it not possible the dollar EV is made up for in the fun of the sweat of someone they like from watching them on tv?
100%
Edit. I wouldn’t pay 1 for him but have no reason to care if someone would pay 2.5.
