WSOP Pool 2009
Time to get this started again. The World Series of Poker starts on May 26th.
Rules: Pick 10 Poker Players 1 of the poker players must be female 1 of the poker players must not have a bracelet. 1 of your picks can be made "Money Man" and they will score double points for you. 1 of your picks can be made "Main Event Champion". If they win the Main Event, you win the pool by default. (This almost happened three years ago when Allen Cunningham made the final table, and last year we had deep runs by Matusow and Hellmuth). Scoring is based on cash won by your players. You get 1 point for every $1,000 your picks earn. Previous winners... 2008 - MollyMurphy 2007 - timmynausea 2006 - Barkeep49 2005 - Chubby 2004 - albionmoonlight Picks due by May 26th. Late entries are accepted, but you will not get pts for any events that started before your picks were made.

They're in the money in the 40k...I've got two alive (Bonomo, Robl) and Rousso cashed for me. I'll take three cashing to get me started here.

ZeeJustin is working out to be a great pick for Comey as money man in the very first event. I think Bonomo is a great player but he was still a douchebag cheater.
For all the first-day talk about Moneymaker, he collapsed day two pretty quickly and look who made the final table ... Greg Raymer. |

Well in fairness to Moneymaker he lost with QQ to Ak then his 1010 ran into KK. Not like he made bad plays, just lost a coinflip for a big pot.

And I wouldn't say it was quick. There were 89 people left going into day two and he finished 38th.

yeah, the term collapse is suggestive of him calling off all his money with AJ or something.
That being said I think Raymer is a better player and will be rooting for him. |

I hadn't read the hand-by-hand breakdown -- the quick overview on Cardplayer characterized it as a quick collapse and I went with that.
Those big hands that knocked him out though did come after he had already leaked half his stack away. It wasn't like he got unlucky and went from chip lead to the door -- he gave up the chip lead, had to make moves and lost two big hands to hit the rail. |

IIRC he had over 800K when he lost to Tony G. and I would hardly call playing QQ making a move. |

Cardplayer used colllapse and leaking to describe Moneymaker's play. Maybe they just hate Moneymaker but it sounds like same old Chris to me. He didn't make a bad play there and I think most of us would call in that spot in most circumstances. But he had been up over a million chips, so he'd already lost more than 40% of his stack before the Tony G or Ted Forrest knocking him out. Last edited by kcchief19 : 05-31-2009 at 03:50 PM. |

Meh. I still think no one would describe it as a "collapse" if it was anyone but Moneymaker. It's not like he was gone early in day 2. He finished 10 short of the money.
I've just never understood the random hatred that Moneymaker gets, especially the bizaare criticisms of his play in the 2003 WSOP, which are so off the mark they've reached urban legend status.

Hmm, this is not exactly a formula for my success in this format. Only guy on my roster that I'm sole person holding is Phil Galfond, who posted this after his 29th place finish (27 paid) in 40K event.
Quote:
In an earlier blog entry, right before the start of the event, he posted the following which made me take a stab at him: Quote:
Anyway, I think my hopes at this point (just 4 tournaments in) rest with Greenstein hitting really big and Benyamine playing/cashing a lot of tournaments. Otherwise, there is too much overlap with the rest of everyone else for me to realistically win this thing. |

Galfond's video blog on pokerroad continues this theme and he talks about how much he likes cash games more than tournaments.
