Well, it's that time a year again. Can you believe the 2009 wsop is about to start? And while satellites start today, and the Casino Employees Event #1 begins Wednesday, things really get going on Thursday with the $40,000 NLHE Event #2 buy in. More or less a ME for Pros only (or any saps that have $40K lying around). But I'm back again with my annual WSOP Predictions thread. Just went back and looked at the 2008 version. Some decent predictions in there but ultimately we all fell way short.
Remember, this is just for fun. Not interested in action on these. But feel free to generate your own amongst yourselves. At the end of the series, I'll come back and bump up the thread with results.
In honor of the 40th Anniversary of the WSOP, I've done 40 predictions this year, and now in no particular order....
1 Main Event will have less than 6,844
2 40K event will have less than 315
