Poker success breeds success...looking for investors and sponsors

In need of more backers, sponsors and investors. They're starting to roll in....

At only $100 per share, I'm aiming for a total of 100 shares to be invested in me with a positive return on your investment, a bonus will be paid based on the number of investors. IF I don't get 80% invested, your money will be returned as I will not be playing. All payments via PAYPAL in order to guarantee of your return if it doesn't happen.

We will share the wealth, with me keeping only 30% of the take plus expenses (only air & accommodation, & receipts provided) and after all fees and taxes are accounted for. The remainder is split evenly among all of us. I figure I'll need to cash a $15,000 prize level and we break even, anything above is pure profit (if played inside of US due to taxes, then we need a $22,000 payout approx).

Looking to advance to $10,000 buy in events in (tax free) Niagara Falls WPT event, Europe or the Aussie Millions in January '09.

I pay all my own expenses, and the remainder of the buyin if we come up short. Your investment therefore is purely going towards the buy-in amount.

If interested please contact me via phone or email. See "contact" for more detail.

AUDITION -- Rogers Telecommunications on Tuesday Aug 12th.

On very short notice, (I received a script at 12:30AM and had to be in my audition for 2:30PM that day) I did my best on this spot. Call it 2 hours prep, followed by 6 hours sleep and another 2 hours into town. Not my ideal sitaution of course. I always wonder if its reasonable to inform the team of things like this when it ahppens or just suck it up, thinking they don't want to hear excuses. I mean who knows how long the sides have been in circulation, and anyone that doesn't come in with lines down, regardless, appears unprofessional.

That said, the updside can always be perceived as impressive if the sides were only distributed the night before, and here I am off book already! Nice. And I was for the most aprt I think. I did the best I could honestly. I was happy I gave them a decent performance under those conditions. It gets better and that makes it all the more impressive come shoot day, given the opportunity of course. It's out of my hands now. I'm content.

I tried to stay relaxed and conversational, and causally may have even had to improv it slightly. I think it fit within the desired approach. And that's all I could hope for.

Stay tuned.

We shall see.

AUDITION -- Candian Tire Financial Services

Nice campaign...hopefully the nlook and feel of my delivery gets me this one!

This was a difficult audition pice as the timing was bad for me. I had just been informed of the audition late after Day one of a 2 day marathon on MONERIS.

I really didn't have much valuable free time to learn the lines as day 2 ended after midnight, and after a horrible 2.5 hours drive home due to highway re-paving delays and traffic snarls at 1230am...I finally got to bed at about 4am...then awake at 11, with 3.5 hours to nail the script in time for my 5pm performance. And it showed....although I did my best, I admittedly fumbled the lines but hopefully as I said, the tone, pace, deliver etc were at good place for the client to consider.

Stay tuned
