I like to throw a 5 or a 10 spot on there and just get a ton of hands out of it. It's not going to help with reads, or other aspects as mentioned but I don't play seriously so from that perspective it works and keeps the ADD in me entertained.

Daniel my thoughts are with you. My father passed when I was 10 and you're an inspiration on many levels. I wish you and yours nothing but the best in this time of sadness.

You the man DN. This is only the beginning. Take it down.

Surprisingly enough as lamann1

The picture of him makes me think he could potentially be a closet axe murderer.

I think the point trying to be made by the OP, which is a correct one, is that it was held prior to the WSOP last year so the question remains as to whether the same will occur this year. If I recall I think Daniel even skipped the first bracelet event as he had played that marathon TOC final table. I haven't heard anything about when it would be played this year. Using the old adage about google being my friend I still did not find any details.

I've had it take as many as 4-5 days including the weekend. Seems like the avergae turnaround has been 1-2 business days. They told me something along the lines of it being instant if I upgraded to their credit card but I didn't get additional details. Seems like that may be the way to go though so if you get details on that post them for me if you don't mind.

I was responding to the comment about the average joe wanting to see Shannon Elizabeth & Tilly. I don't necessarily disagree on that point. My point is that the average person isn't tuning in to watch this tourney imo. It's more the average poker fan whom I think would rather see someone like Cassidy than someone like Elizabeth playing. Disagree?

He wasn't bluffing. He had a boat.

So you think the average Joe who watches poker on tv wants to see Tilly and Elizabeth? I'm not taking a pole of people who walk by I'm talking about the person who would actually turn on NBC and watch the heads up action. You really don't believe that audience wants say Joe Cassidy and Sebok instead of those two ladies? I mean the hot factor goes way up, but again not the audience for this imo.

I continue to question the common sense of whomever is putting this field together. I understand that he has played in the big game before and is somewhat respected by many pros, but Rene Angelil? I also understand the celebrity piece of things, but does anyone watch this tourney for the non-poker pro celebrity aspect of it? Don Cheadle?I guess for me not seeing a player like Joe Cassidy in this tourney drives me nuts. Getting guys like J'Dags and Antonius is a better move this year than when they were left out last year, but I really still feel like they miss the boat here. Eliminating s

My choice would be Phil Gordon's Little Green Book. Heard good things about it and would be interested to get some of his perspective. Just used my FT points to order it myself. I've heard Greenstein's book is good as well, so that wouldn't be a bad second option imo.

Wouldn't mind seeing some young gun type matchups like Cassidy/D'Agostino/Madsen/Grinder, etc. face off against one another. I think it would be great tv to watch the kamikaze styles let loose on each other at the table.

Way to fight the whole way Daniel. I think it's clear that DN will be a force to be reckoned with in 07.

I rest my case with my previous post. Sebok has offered exactly the same argument as I would have made.

I could be down with some details as well as numbers on who we think would join.

Would you also care for his home address, phone number and itinerary for the next year? Just want to make sure we provide everything that you need.

It was a hell of a run considering the massive field. Well played DN.

Wait I know! Was it a stop sign? I'm a sagittarius and this thread sucks.

Lord knows we never have questions with obvious answers asked around here right? I pretty much called myself as asking one that probably had a very clear answer, but thanks for reconfirming what I already knew.

All great points. Thanks for the info. Makes it a lot clearer in my mind.

Now that my confusion has been cleared up I think that you are absolutely right about your comment. That's honestly where some of the confusion came in for me as I couldn't follow why Daniel did that, but I'm sure there was a good reason. Seems like it is a courtesy they extend to each other a lot of the time as well, so maybe one of those things where it is somewhat expected.

I did think about it Joe, but thanks for the courtesy answer. I clearly said right in the original post that I was sure it was something obvious and that I just wasn't following so I outright said that I assumed I was off on my thinking.I completely agree that he wouldn't want to run it twice with three outs. As a point of reference though he didn't see Daniel's hand before they agreed to do that although I'm quite sure he knew what it was.Maybe in the future just a solid answer like many did here rather than the need to be an asshat.
