Pick a team of 12 players. Points awarded according to the position the player exits the main event ie. finish 3345th - 3345 points....finish 24th - 24 points. The person with the lowest scoring team wins.

Anyone interested??

Maybe if you limit it to the people that cashed,imagine it would be hard to keep track of a player that finished 2615th and the spot isn't usual advertised as theres players out every 30 secs or so.

Alan Goehring
Michael Mizrachi

12. and finally... MrPillowTalk

agreed, this should be based on cash finishes... much easier to track...
sticky??

ocallagh

ok - i think we shoiuld all have to pick again, and we get 20M budget. The budget works like this. The cost of a player is their all time money wins taken from the hendon mob database.

MrPillowTalk

Ok my 12 in decending order of greatness *

Eoin Olin (yes I am THAT vain)
Phil Ivey
Michael Mizrachi
Ram Vaswami
Dan Harrington
Chris Ferguson
Dan Negreanu
Patrick Antonitus
David Williams
Josh Arieh
Marcel Luske
Gavin Smith

Im leaning toward youth as Im not sure the old boys will have the stamina for an eight day event.


*may not be actual order of greatness

MrPillowTalk

nice one DIT go boards

MrPillowTalk

this actually looks like good fun, say 20mill budget on hendon mob database as Niall suggested and €50 a man?

Yeah Id go to 500 myself but 50 makes it more accessable to others I think.

ok cool. 50 a head!



my pm is open!

Ste05

I'll go for $50 too, need a while to work out my team though based on the $20m budget though - should we not make it a bigger budget though - even $30m (i.e. I want Raymer, but not for 1/2 of my budget)

Also we need someone to hold the money like Daithio in the Sweep, Mr PT or ocallagh??

Anybody see the porno he made a couple of years ago...he was toe-sucking a 50year old!It was all over the neverwinpoker.com forums 2months ago!

$20M budget is a good idea and the points only counting once they've made the money. I'm up for the €50 as well but I'm not posting my team 'til later.

What about bonus points for amatuer players on your team doing well??

I notice as well that nearly everyone has picked Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, and understandably, he's had a good year. But nobody's picked "The Mouth" Matusow, who's had an excellent year. Any particular reason for this??

I was going to pick him but he made the final table last year so variance may well come into play, plus hes a donkey.

As for David Williams he was touch and go but has a knack of winning big events.

My team is not my final draft still have to check the 20mill budget rule etc

DeVore

I'm in for this too, I think we need to post the players name and their cost to the right of them too, for clarity.

If someone is bored at work they might think of getting a list of them together (I'm up to my doodads today as will become clear soon!)

Good idea niall but i think maybe a 25-30m budget is a bit more realistic based on the the price on the people in the top 20 at the mo...I'm all on for someone makin a final judgement on a few rules before we make our pick. step up to the plate if u like and finalise it!!
