Matt Glantz and Chris Klodnicki invested $20k to start up a media team. That's very cool.

The remainder of that group consists solely of PokerNews employees. Plus Kevmath. Not so cool. Guess my invite got lost in the mail.

I'll still be rooting for you guys. Go Team PokerNews (plus Kevmath)!

Considering the state of Quad Jacks (who streamed it last year), they're not likely to do it.

david "bakes" baker is always good for these. he plays lot of the small field events usually like the 10k nl deuce (which he has won before).

mixed game players will be popular bc of the 10k championship events, ppl think higher buy-in events will bring out more pros and create a smaller field. obv still super tough to win but so is any 1k with 2k-3k runners. i think in the 25k pool 10k championship events count a lot more than any 1k or 1.5k nl event.

What is the state of Quad Jacks? I enjoyed the behind the scenes interviews and commentary, and watched most of the $25k draft last year. I thought they had something good going.

Fantasy drafts are boring. But extortionist witch-hunts less so!

Sounds like a good way to torpedo your draft price. Wonder who it was.

2011 Team Griffin/Smith:
Justin Smith
Huck Seed played 27 events
Ali Eslami played 28 events
David Chiu played 29 events
Farzad Bonyadi played 10 events
Amnon Filippi played 32 events
Eli Elezra played 21 events
Mike Watson played 29 events
