is the wynn really that good?

i would've folded pre-flop but i'm an amateuralthough i agree with the bowling - at that point you had no other option

but tiffany williamson was not an established pro - you're right that she did play a lot better than espn seemed to think but annie duke has already made a ME final table and won the TOC.

i signed up at the wsop - can i get in that way or do i have to play on fcp?

what's better - or more impressive - making the final table to this years' MEor winning a bracelet in a minor event (excluding HORSE)

call me when u gets heads up with a 3-1 chip lead- that's when i step on the bandwagon

i mean seriously, the guy made 2.5 million and he was world champion. and he always looks like he JUST took his hat off or just woke up

if moneymaker wants to be considered the "godfather" of anything, he needs to invest in a comb

are there satellites?

me tooi usually don't play on stars but they have so many good tourneys - the cards are too small

i guess if she wins, she would be the best female player anyway, whether we like her or not

you're right but there's another one with just seafood on the other side of the casino

i would like to see cunningham at least make the final table - other pros always talk about how he's so great but he doesn't get a lot of attention.

do you realize that if annie duke makes the final table, she will be universally recognized as the world's top female poker player - and we'll never hear the end of it.

i've been eating at the rio buffet while at the wsop but i've beening hearing they also have a seafood buffet - has anybody been there?

not in the ME. they should've given 300K though - because he's cool

10 is the standard but it depends - sometimes everybody has 10 or less

i would go to the espn editing room andscan through the thousands of hours of tape - it's the only way to know for sure.

40K is a rather LARGE portion of 10K

a four flush is practically and automatic all-in in online poker these days.

so does this mean we all hate raymer now? LOL (SW)

i actually don't mind hearing bad beat stories - call me crazy but i sometimes find them interesting - i even learn from them now and then.

i don't disagree with your contention that he is not being marketed.if by marketed, you mean affiliated with a site or endorsing a product.let's keep in mind that poker players generally don't GET marketed - they are not singers.there are several players who share dave williams' pedigree and resume and they are also not being "marketed" as you call it.for the most part, is it up to the poker players to market themselves. negreanu being an example - of course companies have jumped on the bandwagon now but he did a lot on his own to build his image.i personally think dave williams is marketable

i didn't say he was being marketed - i only stated that he stands out more than he would if he were white and old.because of that - he is marketable from that perspective - whether or not he is actually BEING marketed is something that i did not even address.what is it exactly that you disagree with and why?

exhibit B: dave williams - not considered the best in his field - certainly nowhere NEAR the level of ivey - and he is marketable. but what does race have to do with it?it's not whether or not being black is more or less marketable - that's not really the point, or at least it shouldn't be.the point is that in the white world of poker, being black MAKES you stand out - whether you like it or not - and that in itself, CAN help your marketability.for example, if paul darden was a white guy, many would not notice him, i mean he's not exactly a 5-time bracelet winner - but being black makes him st
