WSOP '08 Predictions

Thought I'd start a thread on who everyone thinks will win the ME this year. I'm going out on a limb with Negreanu to win this year. I also predict that Hellmuth will win bracelet #12 in some event this year. What are your picks?

  • Watts def. Doyle with A2d vs 10-2o
  • My gut feel is that it will be Dr Tyore after going on a successful satellite run, and we know what kind of a final table that will be. Him jumping up on chairs, falling off again, posing, pant removals, could be very entertaining, especially if Hellmuth, Brenes and a few other characters are at the table. Would love to have the distribution rights for that.. Extreme entertainment at its best..

    No way. He'd be blinded out from swearing penalties long before the Final Table :D

    ps..it took me until post 3004 Moose!

    Fuck swearing penalties. That shit blows.


    Don't mind me, just trying to fill out our team's roster. Can I multitable? That has to be +EV for all the other teams.

    If so his acceptance speech would have to be about how he calculated his suck out odds.

  • Anybody playing the ME, or does it lie solely on if you win a satellite seat?
  • A Canadian placed second last year. Here's hoping one of us can claim the title this year. SirWatts is of course the community favourite! ;)

    I predict that Johnny Chan will get #11 before Phil gets #12, and then there will be a massive prop bet between them on who gets to 12 first.

    SteveKerr will take the $1500 freezeout event # (?)...and then share his winnings with the rest of Ching Hill...AFTER he buys a two year supply of diapers. ;)

    DrTyore will play the PLO event, after which he will bubble and curse his way to the rail, screaming how the game is much too random to be considered REAL poker. He will then go out to the parking lot, and throw his car end over end down the strip.

    Brad "Yukon" Booth will make the final table in at least two events, but fail to improve over 4th place.

    Daniel Negreanu will again play in the HORSE event, but get knocked out early. He will then assist DrTyore in popping out the dings in his car over a cold beer, and both will compare their lives to each other and how similiar they actually are. Except for the dancing on chairs bit that is.

    Chris "Jesus" Ferguson will eventually win the HORSE event. He will then go on a long vacation in Tibet, studying with monks. He will marry an ugly Japanese woman, take up guitar, and do a live re enactment of John Lennon songs for his new career.

    $10g's a seat...cash, credit card, or satellite. They let ANYONE play.

    I think the question may have been if anybody here was planning to play no matter what, or if they are only playing if they can win a seat...That might just be me though ;)
  • There's probably a handful of people on here that can drop 10,000 on seat + accomidations. I assume the rest of us are relying on satellites.
  • I will boldly predict another bracelet-less year for myself. Not too worried, though . . . I have a nice stainless steel one that my wife bought me.
    Maybe next year. :-[
  • I am going even further out on a limb to predict Helmuth will win #12 AND #13 this year.

    DN, no money finishes for the ex pretty boy of poker.

    SirWatts, I am hoping he can send us on an even better ride than Devin did, that was soooo exciting to rail Devin through this very forum. I am looking forward to many an exciting update from any forum members advancing deep in the '08 WSOP.
  • I think Hellmuth goes 0'fer this year. DN wins a minor bracelet that no one will remember. Watts will final table a $5,000.00 buy-in event, and probably go top three, if he does not win it. Will money in the ME if he plays. Doyle wins nothing. Johnny is a possibility to win, and someone nobody knows much about will win the ME and promptly disappear a la Jerry Yang. Well maybe not disappear, but where the hell IS Jerry? And it better not be church . . .
  • I am a bankroll nit like all_aces, so playing in $4K-$10K events depends on satellites for me. I will be playing in a bunch of WSOP live satellites, including two this week. If I don't win a WSOP seat by the time I go to Las Vegas, I plan to play the $330 and $550 Mega Satellites at the Rio Casino between July 2-5.

    For the final WSOP event #55, I predict that 13CARDS, jpajamas and I will all finish in the top 1,039. :D

    Unless something drastic happens, 13CARDS & jpajamas leave the torch to you Blondefish, we aren't gonna be there :( Next year though...

    Poker News - WSOP Champion Jerry Yang Helps Feed the Children
  • Jerry Yang... noble guy, and with 8 million I wouldn't be doing much either, but man, this guy has basically vanished since he won. Jamie Gold at least showed up to a few tournaments and PAD to give some of his money back. Yang has done what, Heads up, that's it. Funny how the guy that came in 2nd got a Pokerstars contract, and he didn't.
  • I'm calling my shot now...

    Howard Lederer wins the ME this year.

    Howard Lederer wins the ME this year.

    I think Lederer has a better chance of winning the Limit Hold Em World chamionship. I'm actually interested to see what the fields are like for these new $10,000 buy in events.

    He has stated repeatedly and emphatically that Limit Hold em is his best game. He's a big favorite of mine as well, so I always hope that he's successful.

    Plus, I think he's cursed in the Main Event, final tabled it the first time he played and hasn't been too close since.
  • Humberto Breanas for the main event. That guy has gone deep in the ME, and I have a feeling hes gonna take it all this year
  • Two predictions:
    1) Chan to final table the Main event
    2) Me to win Event #52 :)
  • I think Ivey's gunna take the main event, he's tearing it up this year. I also am hoping that the Bear goes deep as he's been having a rough year just missing the money in many events.
  • 2) Me to win Event #52 :)


    not if I have anything to do with it. I am playing the same event

    Hey - good luck. Hopefully we both make it to the final table.
  • johnathan plens
  • Me to win Event #52

    We can do a final three chop! :D
    Have any Event #52 participants decided on their travel details yet? I am thinking of arriving in Las Vegas on June 29 (after parking at Buffalo Airport?).
  • I'm gonna have a sick WSOP... I don't want to predict that though! lol
  • I must win PoTY... :)
  • tyvm, finally someone who has common sense in this thread!!!!!!!!:)

    choron, blondefish, sirwatts has no chance against meeeeeeeee.^-^
