i think in general, a lot of the teams over valued players who are primarily just NL tourney studs.
how did Yevgeniy Timoshenko not get drafted?
or
allen bari
matt glantz
nick schulman
john hennigan
john monette
Was Seidel on the list?Quote:

Steve, the only player I overpaid for is Shaun Deeb (60) imo... but the kid is running sick right now with 4 scoop bracelets in like a week and I knew I would get guys like Andy Frankenberger and Andrew Badecker cheap because the only person I had to worry about who would know about them was Kevmath... Charder going for 51 was just because I had 51 left... The answer to how bootsy got chris moorman for 1 is simple... Me and him were the only 2 people without a full team and when Moorman was nominated I pretty much had a lock on either choosing him or charder, by choosing charder I would be giving up moorman to bootsie automatically.
I gave Bootsys list a quick look and decided that his team may have been a bit NL heavy so I opted for charder.
would have been impossible, Templar shot off early and only had 2 units to buy his last 2 playersQuote:

I was also flexible and didn't have favorites, since I didn't know how many teams were going to be in the event. I did want a few of the following: J. Mercier, Dwan, Ivey, Katchalov, Seiver, Negraneau, Bonomo, Haxton, Hellmuth, Elky, S. Deeb, D. Alaei and Seidel. They were my top picks, which I got 5!
FYI PLOL - The one drop can be found of here: http://www.wsop.com/2012/thebigone/ Right now I have Dwan confirmed, FML, need Mercier, Bonomo and Hax to register.
Good luck to everyone and their sweats for the WSOP. Thanks again to Jasep and Blind Squirrel, enjoyed the draft. :)
OMG, lol, Phil Ruffin is playing. He is literally the worst poker player I've ever seen.Quote:

Pretty g-a-y that they're taking out 11% for charity. Why force people to donate to charity? And I'm sure it's a nice write-off for them.
Soft field for the one drop... All those billionaires with all that money, but you have to think it's the best chance for one of them to win a bracelet. They would never stand a chance in a lower buy-in open event.
See why I have 3 picks in the 1 drop... that's like a 10% shot at ez points.... now you see the draft strat?Quote:

I knew Boosted J was playing in it and I do regret not drafting him but it was tough at the end with so many players to choose from.
i haven't been following along, can someone fill me in on the scoring?
would winning the one drop for $15 megas give you a huge edge?
or is it minimal because of the field size?
or does the size of the score not even matter?
Heres the edge:Quote:

An additional point per 100 entries is awarded to players who

Was it his 6 against your 8 or something? I wasn't following the side bet, just saw he only had 6 namesQuote:

i am using the one drop as an example
why do you stick around?
most shenanigan tourneys like this are usually kept out of these fantasy drafts - ladies events, etc.
Tonight it's insomnia. Typically it's sheer boredom. Nothing better to do then fire up the tilt o whirl.Quote:

The advantage is that events over 10k award double points and with such a small field it is a much better chance that someone who is a name pro will be going deep in this event, so lets say the field is only 40 players, it gives you a really good shot at scooping double points on a final table finish without having to have one of your players go super deep in a big field event.Quote:

This event will be pretty much a mega high roller sit n go, so if you happened to scoop the winner you get double first place points. The list of players was announced already so it wouldn't be a bad decision to lock up some of them.
I personally did not take one drop in to account. I was looking more for guys who routinely go deep in huge field events. So I can scoop as many bonus points as possible.
I also looked for guys who I knew would play the odd ball tournaments, not just non nlhe events, but events that include games that are outside of a regular horse rotation.
You win some, you lose some. Worst 24 hr period I've had in a long time so sometimes you just have to shoot it off. What can you do?Quote:

This one isn't against any criteria so it countsQuote:
no Seniors, Ladies, or Employee
events will count.
Templar really only has 6 players since his last two picks will play >5 events total unless she binks one early, so I'm fine with that.Quote:

Gilligan's Island looks good for team non-drafted and hypothetical. Two solid additions.

This was never run by me. You said before the bet, Here are my six. they will beat your team. I said ok, so the bet was your 6 vs. my team. You can't add more players. If you want to, you can keep your initial 6, and I will drop Clark and Jett.
No it's fine as a 8 against 6, I made the bet without really looking into any of the details, so that's on me. It's onl;y a signature bet anyway :DQuote:

The added two players were just to make a full roster our bet stays as is with my first six picks

Im just messing around. I didn't even realize you only had 6 players lol. 8 vs 8 is the bet.
No, really, I'm good with how it is.Quote:

Just to clarify everything,
My Team vs. Templar
Steve Gross --has been busting his ass to make it on the live tournament scene
Melanie Weisner -- see Steve Gross and change "his" to "her": she also is a phenomonal Heads-Up tournament player
Taylor Paur -- See Steve Gross
Joe Serock -- been playing really well lately
Andrey Pateychuk --should play a bunch since he is a bracelet shy of triple crown
Roberto Romanello --same as Pateychuk
My Team as it would relate to the contest itself is the above plus Justin Smith and Dan Kelly, just to give it some versatility in PLO and other events
:bump
33 left out of 2101 in event number 2 (1500 NL)
Lots of drafted players left, including my first round Draft Pick Andrew Badecker, you guys looked at me like I was crazy.....
Down to 15,
Here are the chip counts. A line next to the player means someone has them in the pool.
