So the WSOP is staring in a couple of days and I thought I'd run a little game about it.

Send me some answers to the following questions and I'll score them once we know the answers.

FYI I'll be playing but have not followed poker closely for a number of years and so my answers will likely be way off. Don't feel like this is a game for hard-core poker fans. Just submit a few answers with little thought and have a bit of fun.

Oh and get your entry in by cards in the air for event 1 or it won't count.

Someone is running a game in POG (name 12 best cashing countries in the WSOP).

He's saying that if you win his game and mine then he'll ship you $200 on either stars or amazon (no entry fee)

Nice mix of opinions.

My strategy was that it's more fun to root for things than against them and you'll also have a longer sweat.

In hindsight I should have made questions where there was more than 1 correct answer. Stuff like "who will win a bracelet?" and "Who will cash at least 10 times?" etc.

Predicting a lot of 0 for 5 in this round and a lot of tied rankings.

Oh well.

Who Section

1. Who will cash for the most this year?

Daniel Negreanu x4
Stephen Chidwick x3
Chris Ferguson
Shaun Deeb

2. Who will score the most POY points?

Shaun Deeb x 4
Stephen Chidwick x2
Daniel Negreanu x2
Ben Yu

3. Who will reach the most final tables this year?

Daniel Negreanu x5
Stephen Chidwick x2
Shaun Deeb
Benny Glaser

4. Who will cash the most times this year?

Daniel Negreanu x2
Shaun Deeb x2
Jeremy Ausmus
Allen Kessler
Stephen Chidwick
Scott Clements
Ryan Laplante

5. Which former Main Event champ will last longest in the Main Event this year?

Joe McKeehan x2
Joe Cada x2
Joe Hachem
Phil Hellmuth
Ryan Reiss
Greg Raymer
Koray Aldemir

I think the people with Deeb and Negreanu have the best shot at scoring some points in this thing. Lot of the other guesses are people swinging wild.

I predict the best someone will do is get 2 right and most people will get none right.

How did we all get on?
