    And they lose two players (Esfandiari being one of them):



    The idea of Team Poker is dumb (and not even new...Matt Savage had a "NY vs Boston" Show back in the mid-2000s on NESN and YES).

    Team poker is dumb. Except for that time the Germans in WCOP timebank slowrolled the Canadians. That was hilariously filthy

    Everyone on Twitter all excited about it. Pokernews tweeting out each draft pick as it happens -- as if it's the NBA draft or something.

    This is going to end up an epic fail, and everyone is going to feel stupid for having followed it.

    While it is highly likely it fails it is not a bad thing. It is a freeroll for all of the players.

    I'm sure they'll finish the first season at least. A quick glance at the format would put a lot weight to HU and 6-max SNGs. That kinda changes the value of picks with some of the crowd favorites. Obv it's not completely meaningless if someone has amassed a reasonable amount of lifetime live tournament winnings but most of the skill set needed for that isn't really something that's useful for this format.

    Players must be ranked in GPI top 1000. Todd is ranked #6854. Bryan Micon is #12508.

    It says a lot of about the reality of ignoring buy-ins that Shaun Deeb is #207 and admits to being down huge playing live MTTs. I personally know a guy in top 150 who is a lifetime losing player but uses his "results" to consistently sell himself at healthy mark-up.

    Take the example of alleged super genius Scott Seiver. His Hendon Mob shows a 500% ROI looking only at the tournaments he cashes! You have to do some serious jiu-jitsu to make those numbers fit the profile of a winning player, let alone someone considered on the short list of the game's best.

    From everything I've read the GPL has been a fail but now Pokerstars is sponsoring it.

    I can't believe Pokerstars would get involved in this bullshit after what Alex Dreyfus did regarding scamming people at the WSOP.
