If you are interested in filling out a bracket...

I look at it as hedging my bets. If I win the whole thing, I'm not going to care about the bracket pool...

Speaking of the bracket prize pool... how many players are in so far?

Talking Poker · #3 07-31-05, 12:41 AM

Scroll up, dude.

Looks like 7 to me. Now, as for how many of those have sent me the $5, that's a whole other answer. No worries though - You guys are all regulars and I know you're all good for it.

what I find interesting is that none of you guys pick yourselfs to win. haha

Actually, the guy you are playing in Round 1 did.

I think that's a sign. You're going all the way, Windbreaker!

Talking Poker · #7 08-01-05, 11:31 AM

Indeed. I'm 0 for 2 now.

I told you to bet on him, never listen to me.

what I find interesting is that hardly any of you guys pick yourselfs to win. stopping throwing matches away =P

I have a rough first two rounds. If I get past Shabi - which will be a feat in itself, b/c I feel like that guy's a machine... then I have to deal w/ Chip OR Tone. Both are formidable opponents.

But, I stick w/ my earlier presumption: If I get out of rounds 1 + 2, I won't be stopped.

no love at all.....

Zybomb · #12 07-31-05, 08:37 PM

wheres your bracket??

PShabi · #13 07-31-05, 10:54 PM

LOL,

Lou calls me a "machine." I pick him to win the whole thing.

Maybe we should just get a hotel room!!!!

Aequitas58 · #14 07-31-05, 11:14 PM

I can't cheat on Chip like that.

This made me LOL.

I think the brackets are very interesting. Looking at them as a whole, mostly "well know" (active posters) players are being picked to win. This doesn't surprise me, of course, but I think we're going to be in for quite a few surprises. In a poker Heads Up match, it really doesn't take much for there to be an "upset," ya know?

I do agree that the 2Tone/Chip/pshabi/Aeq starting quadrant is by far the toughest looking, but I'll lay 5:1 that none of them wins the whole thing. One of them is guaranteed to make it to the Semi-Finals and then that guy only need to win 3 more matches. Piece of cake, right? We'll see about that...

Any takers?
