Well known poker player and 2008 EPT Dortmund Champion, Mike “Timex” McDonald is offering a new way to buy pieces of players in just about any given tournament or package of events—by taking the action on himself.
His new Twitter account @BankOfTimex allows people to ask for and receive markup quotes on just about anyone who is guaranteed to be playing in any given event either live or online, including individuals who are not selling action themselves or those who have sold out of a particular package.
McDonald initially targeted Two Plus Two Marketplace deals where he thinks the markups are too high. He then offers deals on the same players at a slightly better deal in an effort to correct the market as well as turn a profit himself.
The 2013 WSOP provides a large pool of tournaments and staking opportunities to start off this venture.
PokerStrategy.com conducted an interview with Timex last night to talk about his latest Twitter account/project in detail.
