DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I have a goofy dilemma in this event that I need to struggle with. If I make the final 8 I can't make it to Australia in time for something that is on a short list of top priorities for me. I'm hoping there is still an outside chance that I can win the Heads Up, and still make it in time so they can use me. Otherwise, it's like a lose/lose situation as I really want to be a part of whats going down there. Link to post Share on other sites
DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 ivey out in first round?? Why is that surprising? He's lost to such luminaries as David Sklansky and Don Cheadle on his way to an 0-3 record in this format. That coupled with the wear and tear from LA, and that I spoke with Alisha for most of the night leads me to believe there is a decent shot at another upset. Link to post Share on other sites
simo_8ball 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You picked Huck to get to the quarters last year too.You a fan of his?I haven't seen enough of his play to know how good he is. I've read several times that he's very good, but only when he wants/tries to be. Link to post Share on other sites

Not like I have a bad horse in this race!I agree for the most part, except:I think Little is going deep, so I think he crushes siedel...(I'd be willing to bet here)I think Clements beats Kenny....don't know if you've played with scotty before but he really doesn't have any tells, which would be Kenny's edge, and I think he has more experience HU than Kenny, so Clements crushes imo.I see Todd beating Fischman and Bellande beating Grizzle in the "I never should have been invited here over Nam Le" Match.I think David Pham beats Rugby if it's a 2 of 3 match and Rugby beats Pham otherwise, I also think Ivey beats the chick, obv.I think Little and Pham are fav's to get super deep in this from what I've seen of both. imoimoimo Link to post Share on other sites
