You're sitting at a nine handed table. You can pick 8 other people to play with you. You can pick anyone throughout history, dead or alive. Who are the 8 people that you would pick, and why would you pick those people?

My table would be:

1. Stu Ungar - Greatest poker player of all time, as well as my favorite player, so that's why I pick him.

2. Daniel Negreanu - While I consider Stuey the greats of all time, Daniel is definitely near the top of the list as well. A fellow Canadian and an all around great guy. Would just be amazing to sit at the same table as him.

3. Bob Dylan
- The greatest singer/songwriter of all time. I'm just a huge Bob Dylan fan and have been for a very long time. I would just love to hear some of the stories he has about introducing the Beetles to drugs.

4. Quentin Tarantino - My favorite writer/director in Hollywood. I first saw Pulp Fiction in 1996 when I was 12 years old. Been a fan ever since. I would kill to smoke a joint with Quentin and ask him "What's in the case?"

5. Hunter S. Thompson - If you know who he is, you know there is no explanation needed for this one.

6. Jack Kerouac - The author of my all time favorite book; On the Road. Would be awesome to hear about what it was like being a pioneer of the Beat Generation.

7. Sam Kinison - My favorite stand up comic(actually a toss up between him and Mitch Hedberg) and and absolute psycho. Comic relief for the table.

8. John Kenny - My grandfather and the man who taught me how to play. He passed a few years ago.


So, what's your dream table look like?

5 and 6 I love, as well as 8 (Id have my mom, she passed 13 years ago and made me love games in my youth, had me playing Euchre at 7 years old - Pinochle at 10)

Why would you want the best card players ever - seems counter productive but I get what you are saying. I agree with Daniel, Stu was a total mess maybe not him.

Celebs - probably Harrison Ford, any super hot chic actress, and probably Woody Harelson

I believe that you need to choose people who are not so good at playing poker and have a lot of money they can lose

I would love to play J Carver, KidPoker and Liv Boeree. At the table would love it if there was Liam Gallacher, Ian Brown, Irvine Welsh and Robert Carlyle. It would be a good table with interesting stories.

Daniel Negreanu
Doyle Brunson
Chris Moneymaker
Lee (finaltable) Nelson
Gus Hansen

and to keep them honest

Liv Boeree
Vanessa Selbst
Annette Obrestad

Daniel will never stop talking.

It would be a fun table but very hard to concentrate on with all the chatter.

Myself, deep stacks, and the world's 8 worst players.

Depending on the prize, I will pick my friends and Cardschat friends, no Pro players. If it is a Freeroll then I might pick some players from the top Cardschat players. :tee:

That would be a really hard table. I like the picks though.

Swap the Main Event for the $50 000 Player Championship, and I would completely agree. ;)
