I am sure a lot of people saw Rekrul's thread about needing votes to get into the World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions. And this is what I need help with as well.
Basically everyone who has ever won a WSOP bracelet is eligible for voting to enter the TOC. The top 20 vote getters will be entered into a 1 million dollar 27 man tournament. I have a bracelet so I am eligible to enter the tournament, unfortunately I am not very well known so I will never get into the tournament without some help. Voting ends June 15th.
I basically just need someone who can somehow get me as many votes as possible so that I reach the top 20. Rekrul is in the top 50 vote getters currently and I know the vast majority of his votes came just from teamliquid so I think it should be possible for someone to get me into this tournament. Also you cant cheat and create a program that votes for me I would just be disqualified so you will have to come up with a different way to get me votes.
Here's the deal whoever I select to help me get into the TOC will receive 25% of my winnings (assuming they succeed in getting me in). The payouts are 500k for first 250k 2nd 100k 3rd and 4th-9th gets 25k. Along with this if I get into the tournament but don't cash in it I will give you 1k of my own money for your trouble. So if you get me into the top 20 in votes you are guaranteed a minimum of 1k and you can receive up to 125k if I win.
If you are interested in trying to do this job either pm me or post in this thread why you are the person who can get me the most votes and is most likely to get me into the tournament. I want to know your plan for getting me votes and I want you to talk about how much effort you will put into this. You can apply individually or if you want to create a team and split the money that's fine as well.
In a couple days I will close the contest and select the best applicant. I reserve the right to replace you with another applicant if your method is not working, such as if you have been working a few weeks and I am still not top 50, or if I find out you are cheating.
I know I am not well known on tlnet so it might be a concern for some of you that you will do the work and then not get paid even if I get in, especially when its this much money. However, for the last few years I have been a mod on liquidpoker.net and been friends with nazgul and many of the other members/mods over there. So if anyone has any doubts feel free to ask any of them about me. All of them should vouch that I am trustworthy and have done a lot of business with them in the past.
If anyone wants to vote for me just out of the kindness of your heart :p my name is James Mackey and you can vote at

Anyway I know this has gotten really long but I know there are a lot of smart and creative people on TL and I hope some are interested in trying to help me out. If you have any questions or I have forgotten you can ask me in this thread or by pm.
