PFA 2012 WSOP Fantasy Auction

[pikachar]

I think Templar and Hotshot have the best of it.

a couple other teams look good

pikachar should already be putting together his cash in envelope, he's drawing dead

2 guys I stopped bidding on were PH and DN... I went for the b list for a few picks... but hell the cash was already send via envelope.

[Jasep]

I think Templar and Hotshot have the best of it.

Honestly I'm not crazy about templars team...

Scotty Clark is a throw away player

Karina Jett's best event doesn't count (womens event)

Phil Ivey's schedule is questionable at best

So I feel like he has really a 5 man team here.

I looked at it like this.

Scotty Clark I picked, so I can bust his balls.

Karina may not play many events. Its fine.

But the other 6 will play 95% of the events.

More events, more chances at getting points.


Side bet for $100?

Most are expecting Ivey to return and play a full schedule do I'm not sure where you are getting that? Templar has my top 3 players with the Phils and Daniel Alaei. Can I get in that $100 side bet?

[PLOL]

Oh, and thanks to Blind Squirrel Apparel for adding money to the prize pool, and thanks to Jasep for putting this together. It was fun. And thanks to PLOL for inviting Kevmath to pahticipate.

Top 3:

I'll take my team over Templar's for $20 if you're interested.

Jaka for 1 is a steal, and I'd be more confident of him playing a full scheduled than Jacobson. You also have two of the hottest players in poker in Schwartz and Smith.

Yeah, he got him for 1 because he was the last pick to go. When he said it we all though "Oh, how did nobody think to nominate him before?"

I believe my entire team will be playing a full schedule. I have a hunch that David Sands will be in the POY race.

So how did he get Moorman (the best tournament player in poker) for 1????

Cause I messed up and didn't nominate him, took Barry, when I should have locked Moorman (I also forgot to cross players off the nominations, hence thought he was bought)

[Steve-O]

Here's my team of six undrafted players (I'll beat you all playing the discards!):

Steve Gross
Joe Serock
Taylor Paur
Andrey Pateychuk
James Dempsey
Melanie Weisner

EDIT: Actually scratch Dempsey and give me Roberto Romanello

[PLOL]

Is there some sort of unofficial list of who's planning on playing the $1million event? Seems like that event will be really big for points.
