I just clicked buttons kind of like when I play poker.

One of the fun things that we should be able to do is publish the stats for how often each player is picked after entries are closed.

Honestly, I believe we will soon find out (next couple years) that Mercier is a fluke. he is very good but I don't believe "world Class".

In, went with some of the players more likely to play the non-holdem events and those who will have some bracelet bets on. Hoping Group 9 do well and rep the Brits!!!

That and I made it a point to pick players who I thought were more likely to play a full schedule i.e. I took Faraz Jaka over Hassan Habib because I think that he will play a lot more although I think that Habib is a more consistent player.

Haha, I took the exact same line with Jaka>Habib. Exact same thought process. Great minds think alike maybe?

Can someone tell me how Ben Lamb is not on any of the lists?
I'm sure there are many well known/successful poker players left off this list. It's not like Daniel said these are the best of the best. It looks like he grouped them into the specific categories for a reason.

In as well, also had the hardest time with group 1. Wanted so badly to go with Katchalov, but how can you not pick Ivey knowing he has bracelet bets? I think Siedel will dominate Hellmuth and Blom is an easy lock knowing he is just trying to prove he is a dominant player in not just cash games. Also lol at some of the grouping. Asians, Easterb Europeans etc. And thanks to Daniel for putting this on. A real class act and great ambassador for the game.

If you need to make a change with regards to picks or tiebreaker, you can PM me and I'll adjust it (Before the May 28th deadline of course).You can also look up your picks & points anytime by going to the leaderboard page and doing a search for your FCP Forum Username: http://fullcontactpoker.com/wsop2012/leaderboard.phpSince my time has been occupied programming this system over the past week, I haven't had a chance to tweak the forum's performance. I'm going to make that my top priority going forward and will keep you posted.
