AALegend's 2024 WSOP Main Event
One of the most active marketplace buyers in 2p2 history (over 500k in total transactions over the years on 2p2, over 1.5mil in transactions globally) is selling action for his 2024 WSOP Main Event - I will be playing day 2D.
Hendon mob:
My results are based on very little volume, because professional obligations make it difficult/costly for me to play multi-day events and therefore I rarely venture outside 1-day events in AC/Philly/Brooklyn. For example in 2024 so far, I have played just 3 live casino tournaments for $4,650 in buy-ins and had $32,610 in cashes including bounties and I feel I am playing close to the best poker of my life.
One of the reasons I am playing the main in the first place is because I won a Main Event seat for coming in 1st in a Winter '23-Spring '24 nightly tournament series in Brooklyn, NY.
The Parx bounty tournament I won in September 2023 was the only Parx tournament I played past COVID. I have also won/chopped 3 and cashed another 4 untracked Borgata daily/nightly events ($200-$400 buy-ins) in 2022-2023 out of only 18 tourneys (24 bullets) played there.
Good results on PokerStars - PA as well. If you would like a recording of a final table replay for a PokerStars Series event, that I won with hole cards up, would be happy to PM it to you individually.
I have also been a somewhat successful live cash player over the years consistently making $30k+ each year from 2012-2019 and 2022-2023 playing a variety of stakes from 1/2 NL to 5/10 NL
In my life away from poker, I teach Management in a Business School.
As a frequent backer/investor, I regularly talk poker with some of the top players in the game.
Some other positives:
1) I am coming to Vegas specifically to play the Main, will not be burned out by long summer or doing any "extracurriculars"
2) Equally comfortable playing short/deep, GTO/exploitative and LAG/TAG depending on the table lineup/tournament situation
3) Booked my room in Flamingo and will be registering in the "Diamond" line, so will not have any Uber traffic/registration line issues that can detract me from play

Had a reasonable day 2 bagging 124k after peaking around 190k at day 2 dinner break.
However, day 3 did not go our way. First, we drew a tough table with Taylor von Kriegenbergh, Szymon Wysocki and Preben Stokkan with the first 2 having 400k+ stack. Unfortunately, Taylor, Szymon and an Asian amateur at a table with also 400k+ were playing very loose, which limited our ability to VPIP.
I ended up losing 2 critical pots 66
After that I was left short (particularly so given stack sizes at the table). Then the following hand came up towards the end of round 13 (shortly before day 3 dinner break).
Szymon Wysocki (at this point playing 800k and opening roughly 60% when folded to HJ, CU, BU) opens cutoff, Preben Stokkan (who has generally been choosing to enter the pots via 3-bets rather than calls and has 3-bet folded several times during the day already) 3-bets button and it folds to me with 18bb on bb with 99. I felt that given the table dynamics this is the spot that I needed to take and unfortunately ran into QQ to bust out.
Thank you all for the support.
