Official WSOP Fantasy League Sweat Thread! - Page 2 - Two Plus Two Pokercast

I copied the spreadsheet to excel and then sorted the column and thought I would just do a bit of ctrl x and ctrl c and add some numbers.

The big issue was the different ways people gave their names

s. chidwick
- steven chidwick
steve chidwich
stephen chidwick
stevie chidwick
chidwick
s chidwick
steven chidwick
steve chidwick

Just an example of how a single name can be put in 9 different ways and has to be sorted manually.

Lol, I don't envy you with that! Makes me appreciate more of what a good job you did.

Mike is just solid in every game, and should be grinding almost every event. But I'm more shocked that so many went for Ivey, and that he was first by so much. He wasn't cheap, and unless there's something I don't know, I don't think he's going to be grinding that hard and playing all the $1.5ks...

Also who is Alen Bilic? Surprised he has as many as 8 and I've never heard of him

$1.5K's? I would put action on if you removed every 1.5K from the final standings the top three finishing teams wouldn't change.

Interesting. Maybe I made a mistake with my team then. Would you give odds on that bet? I don't know about teams, but I think it might change the top 3 spots for individual players.

I'll be fixing all of that tonight. I just wanted to show people the teams.

AWow - Imo it would be good if you could make that spreadsheet with the teams and scores in the OP. And does it matter that my 2nd team's sub player isn't on that spreadsheet?

Yes I will. The spreadsheet that went up last night was just there to show people then raw names. Something prettier will be up tonight

he is one of the pokernews seven rookies to watch out for this year. He has committed to playing 20 events and so is good value at a low price

Wouldn't give odds on it. Yes individual players is a much greater possibility.

I can't help but feel that anyone who picked any german other than Marvin Rettenmaier have wasted a pick.

Sure they could bink the one drop, but it seems silly picking a player for a single event...

I picked Leah because he was middle of the pack in the $25K draft and he went for the cheap (103) in this draft. So I'm assuming other people did the same thing. He must play a lot of mix games.

Mike Leah was picked proportionally higher because of poker cast karma of course! Episode 314 is recent enough that he gets pokercast karma thru the series.

Ivey has bracelet bets, some by himself and one with Negreanu he'll be playing a full schedule. Also all of the $10K mix games are small fields which gives him an edge. 1500 budget 247 wasn't that much to spend on one player.

I'm questioning my picking Joe Cassidy twice! Feel like everyone knows something if he wasn't picked by anyone else.

Wish I had known Katchalov was going to be a TV star instead of a poker player this Summer.

35 left in the $25K and I've still got Bonomo, Ivey, Griffin, and Katchalov.

A bit of a broad statement, ist es nicht?

I think Danzer was a pretty good buy at 190 especially considering public pre-confirmation that he was playing "a bunch".

All kidding aside, he was a late add for me precisely because of his PokerCast appearance. He mentioned how many of the small-field non-hold 'em events he expected to play, which I figure are good chances to score POY points.

Probably my only well-thought pick, though. Most of it consists of people I want to sweat for the next six weeks or so.

I agree it's not like they aren't good and the only tournament they are playing is the one drop.

Also picked Danzer (and still think he's a good pick)

I don't think he'll play many events

Selbst, Ivey, Bonomo and Anderson left on one of my teams. Looking good to pick up some early points. I took rettenmier on one team and have ole as my reserve in both. In case he decides do show up longer than expected. Skill wise would love to have the other German high rollers but couldn't risk their limited play.
