Babying 613 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I really don't want to do that, because I don't want anyone disappointed if someone doesnt confirm.Some of the celebs we have contacted who are tentative include Pete Mahovlich, Gerry Cheevers, GSP, a whack of leaf players and alumni, an oiler who wore # 11, and some others...Pick #1 GSPPick #2 #11Pick #3 Salming?

Babying 613 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Who is the favorite to do the best in the tourny? I will say Zach. The worst I will go with myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Who is the favorite to do the best in the tourny? I will say Zach. The worst I will go with myself.Definitely not me. I hate tournaments, so I play like 2 per year.Troyomac is a better tourney player, for sure.This whole thing is going to be a crapshoot anyways, lol. Like, this is gonna be a 200+ person tourney in like 4 hours, amirite?Gonna be a super turbo, which will make it a lot of fun, but skill won't have much to do with it.

serge 904 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Who is the favorite to do the best in the tourny? I will say Zach. The worst I will go with myself.I feel I have the best chance to go deep in this. Not only do I consider myself a very good player, however I have played in several of these type of tourney, and played with these sort of celebrities (if not the same ones)I GUARANTEE i will last longest and be willing to put some money on it.I think it would be really fun if everyone threw in an extra $10-$20 to a pot and the person who last longest grabs it..You donks(zach and ray) have no shot...Especially since there is a pre VIP party that we will attend with booze...Before the cards are in the air Zach will be DRUNK and Ray will be joining him...I on the other hand will have a beer but will be scoping out the competition.The fun and games dont begin for me till after I am ousted...And the only way I get ousted in these things is when I take a bad beat....Typically am a minimum 3-1 favourite when I get my money in.

Piddle Duck 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I am not one to toot my own horn but I am no slouch on the poker table. Last trip to Vegas I took down a tourney and I am a consistent winner in 180's. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Serge, nitting it up is not the optimal strategy in this thing. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Serge, nitting it up is not the optimal strategy in this thing. I have the perfect strategy...Its not nitting it up and its not being a loose donk..I cant disclose it though.. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Serge is tighter than a nun's you know what. His strategy is to get blinded out. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Due to my profession, I am a brutal player. So I am up to donating $20 to a winner take all who lasts the longest pool. BTW get there early for the pre party, I don't drink so it will give me a slight edge. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Who is the favorite to do the best in the tourny? I will say Zach. The worst I will go with myself. Last shorter bet? Gonna be a super turbo, which will make it a lot of fun, but skill won't have much to do with it. then again, maybe I do have a shot. we should have a pool on who lasts longest in this tourney, we each rank the FCP players and assign points based on the ones who last longest.come on, isnt this what degenerates like us love to do? gamble on gambling?

troyomac 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yeah total crapshoot, should be a blast though! I'll be sitting out once a round running to the bathroom and back making room for more beer. Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be sitting out once a round running to the bathroom and back making room for more beer.lol..btw...Last year I walk into the RIO to scope out the action...I run into Ray who has made it pretty deep in a Omaha tourney(think it was Omaha). We exchange hellos and then i notice he is sitting next to the great Phil Hellmuth. I think playing against Eddie Shack and Phil Hellmuth is a little different.. Link to post Share on other sites
