Make your pick for the WSOP Horse event

[Railbird]

I absoulutely like ITP, didnt know he was playing, guy is also sharp at sports, which is rare for poker players. ITP was also a pitcher for the NY Mets in the 80's I think its the same guy. Roger McDow he made 2 the 1st Final tables in first few events. GO ITP. Would not be suprised 1 bit if he wins the whole thing.

 

[Railbird]

Again I like Field +181, these pros not what they are made out to be in most cases.

 

[royalfan]

Is Humberto Brenes as big a douche as he comes off on t.v. or actually a good guy?

Ever played any golf against Dewey?

Could care less how he really is. Biggest dipshit I have ever seen on television, poker or otherwise. What a moron.

So are we saying ITP is Roger McDowell?

Hard to argue. I thought he "slow rolled" a couple of opponents last year also, which is a big no-no. But if steak says he's a good guy, I'll take his word on it.

 

[PatrickMcIrish]

Chip Reese is a pro's pro, the best actually won it last year. Second favorite is probably Greenstein. If this was a money game these two are clearly the favorites in HORSE, both strong in all games. Ivey (and a handful others) a distant third.

 

[PokerKingJim]

complete crapshoot. take the longest shot, if foolish enough to take anybody

Ok, now that I have a name with the posting handle I will definitely root ITP on.

This event is not like the main event in that it is a total crapshoot. The high buy-in and lack of satellites restricts the field to mostly pros.

There will likely be around 150 entrants tops.

 

[WVU]

So are we saying ITP is Roger McDowell?

:monsters-

wow, no shit. I had no idea

 

[GreenDoberman]

It's actually Roger McDow, not McDowell.

 

[WVU]

[Timetopay]

Seriously Im confused. Roger Mcdowell the ex Mets pitcher is who?

 

[GreenDoberman]

It is not the same apparently TTP.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Just posted the top few.

All chip counts courtesy of pokernews.com

Did not see ITP listed in the chip counts. Does not look like he entered this event.

 

[billhill999]

OF the people listed I would say Greg Raymer. Raymer good Omaha player

I like Raymer myself, but I think I missed the deadline here.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Billhill,
Give you the benefit of the doubt since we are just picking for fun.
