Which Pro Will Do Best At WSOP

Who do you think will be the most successful pro poker player at this years WSOP? Who will win a bracelet or two, or three?
Some of the Internet pros might do very well this year, what do you think?
If this sort of stuff interests you, why don't you check out the contest I have started, to predict winners at the WSOP.

I'm hoping Negreanu will bring his game back from 2004 and make a run at the Series. I think he has been playing too much golf lately though and hasn't been playing as much as he used to. I might be wrong though.

I don't want Hellmuth to win though. Would be nice to see Johnny Chan win a couple and get even with/beat Hellmuth's record bracelets.

Yeah I agree with you about Negreanu, it would be nice to see him back on top of his game. It will be interesting to see how Tom Dwan does this year, but I remember him saying that he might not play that many events if there is enough cash game action going on in Vegas at the time.
I think Bertrand Grospeller might have a bit of a run this year from the internet pro side of things. The Mizrachi brothers are due a bracelet or two from the tourny grinders out there. It will be interesting.

Yea, I think the WSOP would really be a waste of time for Dwan as he could be grinding out the high stakes cash tables, which will be busy as hell, and make a killing.

My money is on Allen Cunningham, he kept quiet during the last WSOP, he's going to bring his A game to this year's WSOP and show the kids how it's done.

i predict tht Mike "The Mouth" Matusow will win the main event (:

I expect Eric Lindgren to have a big year. He did really well last year he just didn't win many events

Is FT running that WSOP fantasy league again this year? Last year I saw it right at the end of the world series so I want to get in it early this time to have a chance at winning some stuff.

I think that Negreanu will do well this year,
I also think that Mike Matusow will do well this year.
It is so hard to pick someone in the main event.

my 15 for the fantasy team on FT has all known pros, but i feel there'll be an upset with some unknowns.
i was going to do some checking but haven't got around to it yet. that is what new faces could be possibles. i'll let you know when i find out.
peace and gl

If we look at success as taking home a bunch of money and making numerous deep runs, even if they don't necessarily win a bracelet, then I'd be looking at some of the quiet achievers like Michael Binger, Marco Traniello and JC Tran.

I'd even include Phil Hellmuth in that category (excluding the quiet achiever bit) if he goes back to playing hold 'em tournaments instead of pretending he knows how to play everything like he did last year.

As for winning bracelets, who knows. Negreanu, Cunningham and Lindgren are as solid a bet as anyone else, IMO. And again, add Hellmuth if he actually plays enough hold 'em.

lol hellmuth is a dick and stuff but he did well in the ME last year...

He's a azz, but you can't argue with results. I would like to see david do well.

take care

Better jump on it as the WSOP begins next week.

Yeah, he did do well in the Main Event. And he would've done well in a bunch of other tournaments too except he got some kind of "people pick on me because all my bracelets are in hold 'em" bee in his bonnett and entered all those HORSE tournaments and stuff.

For the love of gawd Phil, stick to what you're good at!

Lindgren & Cunningham will both have a great WSOP this year. I don't know specifically what they will excel in, but I do know that they will excel.

hopefully negreanu can pull out at least one.

would be nice to see him get another bracelet

I like what I'm hearing from everyone about Allen Cunningham; he is actually my pick. It just seems like he always brings that "A" game to the bracelet races

Phil Ivey. No doubt.

Phil Ivey. Just go ahead and put his pic up in Binions and get the bracelet properly fitted.

Phil Ivey. Make sure you get his good side when you take his pic.

Phil Ivey. Yes sir reeee bob.

I think Chris Ferguson will make his presence known this year and maybe Huck Seed.

But how do u think Phil Ivey will do?



Come on people click the link in the OP and play the game

pretty sure PH entered the HORSE events to just try and get another bracelet.. lol

and considering that the 50k HORSE is a pretty prestigious event, i dont see why he wouldnt play it

Where can I watch WSOP? Can I watch it in the internet?

Im going for Huck Seed cos he is kind of an outsider...

Wise words from a wise man. Come on guys and gals, the first game ( event 2 ) starts in 2 days, it's the $40K NLHE event and will be awash with pros. Come play in our "Last Pro Standing" contest for as little as $1 - yeah that's right, ONE DOLLAR. It's easy, just follow this link and gogogo.

i think that negranu will be the onw to win this year braiclate

Dwan already busted out of the $40K event....

Good. I think I removed him from my fantasy picks just before deadline. Very frustrating though. My picks from yesterday are no longer available to look at. Can anyone else find their picks?

I wasn't even able to register mine because my Promotions page didn't have the Fantasy Poker option anymore. I emailed FT about it and they said that there was a technical difficulty that a lot of their players are having with their accounts not letting them see half of the current promotions....guess I am one of them, who knows when it will be back up....Good luck with your guys/girls' picks though.

Fantasy Poker had disappeared from My Promotions yesterday in the early afternoon, but it eventually came back for me.

Dive, when you go to make your picks for Event #3, all of the folks you picked for Event #2 should still be on your team list (they always remain until you swap them out.)

Also, I copied my picks to a notepad doc just so I had them. I have 6 out of 15 left in Event #2.

Got it now, good to see FT was thinking of me too . So I submitted my picks for the PL Hold'em Event #3 for today and tried entering picks for tomorrow NL Event and noticed that you can only enter one set of picks at a time, so tomorrow I will have to go in and update my lineup for who I want for the NL event? I kind of wish you could just make separate picks for each event right from the get go instead of having to go in there every day to change them, but I guess on FT's part, that is a good idea, gets people to open up the client every day...

I have nobody left but Ivey & Matusow. 2 on my A list (Alan Cunningham & Gus Hansen) didn't even show up!

Already made picks yesterday for event #3, so that's all I was seeing. Now I have to rearrange that list too because of all the bust-outs ysterday that will probably play the Omaha8.

Would anyone think that all the Full Tilt Team will show up, since they are running this Fantasy League stuff? You think FT is sponsoring them? Getting a little tired of these no-shows with no way to find out who is registered.

The $40K buy in was special and most big name pros had prop bets on the total number of entries. (Barry Greenstein had over 220). It wound up being 201. If you figure the $50K HORSE only gets about 150, it's easy to see why so many people skipped the $40K. As the series goes on, I would expect most of the pros to be playing these events.

Best advice for picking people who might actually play that day are to look at who may have won that bracelet in the past (ie: Mike Matusow won an Omaha H/L bracelet). Plus if they busted from the other day's event or are about to bust, they usually will begin play in the newer tourney.

At least FT gives you 15 people. So it's a good chance most of your people will play.

No, you don't have to re-enter every day. Click on the drop-down for the next event, and make sure you hit 'go' next to it. Then click on 'clear' at the bottom, and start over. Your previous list is there just in case you don't update it for the next event. Then you'll be stuck with your picks from the previous event. Actually, I plan to be in there every day, because I don't want to pick players that are still in an event (and doing well in it).

Personally I think Lindgren should do really well again. he is in his prime and i think he will win 2 bracelets this year. Hopefully dwan plays. I wanna see how he will match up in the tournaments. I also think Mike "SowersUNCC" Sowers will do good again. he is a very good online pro that i had the privelage of playing with on AP before. I think he is my best upset to win a bracelet.
