I would switch Ivey and Wahlbeck's positions, personally.

you do not seem to get it, that he is in a caliber of players who are expected to win a bracelet every year due to playing for maximizing his chances to win a bracelet, so I do not get it, why there is his name in that kind of list and group of players, telling that he had somewhat of a reasonable series.

where is JC Tran, where is Leo Wolpert?

Where is Tony Cousineau? where is Darryll Fish?

Isaac Haxton? Justin Smith? Roland de Wolfe? Matthew Hawrilenko? Shaun Deeb? John Edward Monnette? Jason Mercier?

Hold'em events should have more value due to bigger fields, and Juanda, Daniel and Barry did nothing in those, so my list goes to different route due to those factors.

I do want to get banned, but obviously it is not possible when I actually want it to due to negative slowplay.

Basebaldy should have made that list too.

I was meant to offer alternatives. Obviously Ivey, Wahlbeck, Lisandro, Lunkin, Parker, Mueller and Sung belongs to that list, but three remamaining spots should have been filled with the best possible performanced players in the 2009 WSOP.

Pete Vilandros should be on here. He's a 70 year-old Greek guy who finished second to steve sung in the $1k stimulus event and then won a $1500 NLHE with about 2500 players. Pretty sick.

When we think about relatively, who would have expect SFD to cash that many events at this years WSOP. Darryl Fish had also great series what comes to field sizes he played at and obv De Wolfe, Alaei, Tran and Mercier as a bracelet winners should have been in TOP 20, but TOP 10 would have been maybe too much for them.

Not that I care but I think 3 WSOPs ago Todd Witteles was the WSOP POTY by points (or whatever the title is called) and they simply decided to go with Jeff Madsen or someone else instead because he was more appealing.

EDIT - I must have butchered that because in Madsen's big year he obviously would have had more points than Witteles, but whatever, something along those lines happened.
