World Series of Poker Pool

larrymcg421 · 05-30-2008, 08:15 PM

I completely forgot about it this year, but Lathum reminded me. This is the 5th year we've done this.

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 he will score double points for you.
1 of your picks can be made "Main Event Chamption". If he wins the Main Event, you win the pool by default. (This almost happened two years ago when Allen Cunningham made the final table).

Scoring is based on cash won by your players. You get 1 point for every $1,000 your picks earn.

We're starting late this year, so the first couple events won't count. Have your picks in by Sunday midnight and we'll start with anything won after that.

Katja Thater is a women, I edited my entyr

hoopsguy · 06-01-2008, 09:45 PM

Female: Kathy Liebert
Non-bracelet: Patrik Antonius
Money: Erik Seidel
Main Event: Phil Hellmuth
Remaining six: Phil Ivey, Gavin Smith, Gavin Griffen, Allan Cunningham, Bill Edler, Joe Hachem

I wanted to take some shots with Internet players, but I didn't see the ones I was looking for signed up for the first event. Of course, they may have played and not been listed by CardPlayer. Nothing worse than entering a guy who only plays a couple of events. Except for entering a guy who plays them all and busts them all. Yeah, I'm talking to you, JC Tran.

hoopsguy · 06-03-2008, 08:30 PM

So is Event 2 counting for purposes of scoring? Just curious, based on the final table.

Barkeep49 · 06-04-2008, 07:53 AM

Gah! How did I miss this?

larrymcg421 · 06-04-2008, 05:06 PM

Just as in the past, I'll accept late entries, but you won't get points for your players in the previous events they played in. So you're still good to go Barkeep, if you want.

Any event that ends Monday night or later counts for scoring.

timmynausea · 06-04-2008, 07:36 PM

I'll go with the same team for the third year in a row. I guess they deserve to defend their title.

Erik Seidel (ME winner) (Money Man)
Mark Seif
Chris Ferguson
Jennifer Tilly (Woman)
Freddie Deeb
Minh Nguyen
Mike Matusow
Phil Gordon (Non-bracelet)

Come on, I was thisclose to making you my double money entry.

larrymcg421 · 06-12-2008, 11:35 AM

I'll try to do a scoring update this weekend.

Well, if I make enough in the NLHE event, I might stick around that week to enter the $50K HORSE tourney.

Lathum · 06-12-2008, 01:11 PM

lol, Cronin is funny

st.cronin · 06-12-2008, 01:17 PM

I don't know if there are any other fofcers participating, but if so, somebody let me know and I'll change my picks.

I have it on good authority that some fofc donkey cashed in event 27...

kcchief19 · 06-16-2008, 09:18 PM

I was going to ask who until I saw the name. Awesome!

And he didn't even take himself in the pool.

Pumpy Tudors · 06-16-2008, 09:58 PM

ok so who was it, or is it a secret

Finally got you in Cardplayer...

Subby · 06-17-2008, 06:37 PM

Just got a great text from Quik: "2nd brk...just took a pretty sick pot off Blair Rodman to get fairly healthy...table starting to feel pressure, but my stack is above avg"

Taking sick pots off of bracelet winners? w00t!

digamma · 06-17-2008, 07:40 PM

woot!

BTW, I'll post a full report later, but the 3rd and 4th levels before the second break were my "moving day" as well. Went on a major rush during that time that took me from a piddling 1400 in chips to 16,000.

QuikSand · 06-18-2008, 04:33 AM

For what it's worth, I have made it to day two of Event 32, but my stack is in grave peril, and I wouldn't be surprised if I'm out by 2:10pm local time. I think I have a $2,800 or so payout in the bag, but getting any deeper is going to take some serious luck in a hurry.

Subby · 06-18-2008, 08:02 AM

w00t - another cash for FOFC!

Pokerpages has you at 8k - at what level are you guys starting tomorrow?

Subby · 06-18-2008, 10:47 AM

Here is your table for the start of today.

Actually a lot of lower stack players at your table (avg stack = 41,600):

(Table 54)
Seat 1: Neil Channing (London) – 34,900
Seat 2: Anthony Romano (no data) – 20,700
Seat 3: Brian Suttle (no data) – 38,200
Seat 5: Michael Sanderson (Odenton) – 8,000
Seat 6: Casey McCarrel (California) – 19,000
Seat 7: Tim Hebert (Louisianna) – 51,500
Seat 8: Hamed 'Tony' Cholagh (no location) – 39,000
Seat 9: Jon Nguyen (no data) – 92,300

Channing has three minor cashes in this WSoP. He won an event at the Irish Poker Open in March for 1.2m. He's ranked 35th in the POY rankings.

McCarrell has three cashes in this series for about 16k. Not much else.

Hebert won 100K in a tourney in march (finished first). Has another win at a circuit event a year or so ago to his credit. 638 in the POT rankings.

Cholagh - one small cash at last year's WSoP.

That's all I gots right now...

Blinds will be 800/1600, with 200 ante. If the button is the 9 seat, then I'll have three hands to push before my big blind.

Coffee Warlord · 06-18-2008, 11:32 AM

You will get a 68o on your first hand.

All in. You'll win, I guarantee.
