Kind of hesitated to post this about Poker Central's membership - but guess if people subscribe and try the service and call to cancel it within 15 days, they'll get a refund?

Guess maybe they figure that people who like the Super High Roller Bowl will probably like the $111,111 WSOP One Drop that comes up next, and the $10k WSOP HU that comes up after that, and so on ... so maybe most people will be happy to continue their subscription?


This Super High Roller Bowl should be fun - it's not often that the entire field is known beforehand ... kind of neat to be able to see odds on an entire field, and little bios of each player, eg. ...

lolno

How much poker is Robl playing now, feel like I haven't seen his name in forever.

He plays as a hobby as far as I can tell. Seen him in a child's handful of tournaments throughout the past year or two

Everyone should be cheering for Kevin Hart. +ev for poker as a whole if he wins

Drinan ftw

As far as I can tell, the sun shuts off every day after it sets.

Just noticed this but Day 1 will be on Twitch for free. Poker Go will only be needed for the rest of the days.

You take Ike, I take one of the 9 Germans and lay you 3:1?

Seiver, Fedor and Marchese will final table this. Dnegs will get 11th and blow up like he always does.

Would be sick if Antonio shipped this, but tbh he's def not a fav in this field.

$300,000 Buy-In ... not too shabby

If someone knows, or has a pretty good guess ...

How much of his own money does a guy like
Daniel Negreanu put up ???

I take it Phil Hellmuth put up his usual 0% ?

I'm surprised, even with staking, some of these names could afford to get into this.

I thought Dan Shak was near busto ?

Why would you think that? He is independently wealthy.

Assuming all days of Poker Go's SHRB2017 coverage will include hole cards?

Yes, it seems like am used to seeing quite a few in the field routinely getting mentions on Poker News, for playing live and online high roller tournaments - and there doesn't seem to have been as many Andrew Robl sightings in the past while?

They did bunch of little updates of all the players on the Poker Central site - and so those were interesting to see, especially the ones for the players who maybe haven't been in the spotlight as much over the last couple of years, like Andrew Robl and John Juanda?

Also, the business people were kind of interesting to read about - it looks like they've all managed to cash in higher stakes games before ... guess if they can afford top buy-ins, they can also afford top coaching?

GL Kevin!!

I'm feeling Colman.

Talal, Ike or Fedor!

Fedor has to be getting some incredible live reads IMO as I don't think his technical skill edge, although very large, can possibly be big enough alone for him to go so deep in so many comps. Obviously an unknown is variance too.

So although he's an obvious pick, he is my pick.

Of the more "unfancied" players I feel like Doug Polk, Tony G and Daniel Negreanu all have a decent shot, for two reasons. a) because I think they are all playing on relaxed money so can play focused but also freely without fear and b) because they are all unorthodox players compared to a large group of very technically minded tournament players that make up the bulk of the field.

With all due respect to Doug Polk, he *appears* to be one of the worst pre flop players ever to play and cash big/win in high stakes MTTs. E.g. set mining with terrible implied odds and calling OOP with trash and poor implied odds. But this must also mean that he is super skillful and difficult to play against post flop and everyone knows he is pretty deadly on the river.

So my 1st to 8th place finish forecast is:

Winner: Fedor Holz
Runner Up: Nicky Petrangelo
3rd place: Daniel Negreanu
4th: Dan Smith
5th: Doug Polk
6th: Brian Rast
7th: Tony G
8th: David Peters

Interesting and enjoyable analysis, thanks.

Anyone else think Antonio @ 1.02 is +EV? I'm willing to give action on Antonio @ 1.02 vs people here w/o going thru pokershares.

I'm almost indifferent but I think I'm calling troll. I could imagine a dunce saying most of that stuff but Tony G in 7th? That's a tell.

I might be interested in a bet on this. (Depending on the terms) If we find an escrow.

He dropped to 0.99, which should tell you something. All the online killers will bring the live players ev down more than you'd think at first glance and I don't really rate Antonio that much even among live players. There's not that many recs either. It would take quite a bit for any oldschool live player to be +ev in this thing. For example Negreanu at 1.15 is a laughably bad deal. I think Antonio is pretty fairly priced.

Just glancing at the list if I had to pick some possibly +ev bets I'd consider Ankush at 1.12 or Les at 1.11. Actually kinda surprised there's no action on them.

Kenney at 1.24 is where you want to put your loot. Thats great value when hes on the heater. As we've seen over the past years you really gotta respect the heaters in these high rollers.

Hellmuth at 1.04 is good value for a cash but not a win.

Table draw for day 1, looks fun
