My Final Table Picks
Unabashedly chosen for entertainment value:
1. Gus
2. Humberto
3. Scotty
- OK, these first three are obvious. Great players with personality
4. Tobey Maguire - obv. for the Hollywood connection
5. Mike "I was on the draw" Souza
6. Varkonyi - the probability that Hellmuth's head might actually explode is worth many points in the ratings.
7. Carlos Mortenson - maybe my weakest choice, but maybe the presence of "The Matador" will prompt references to "TILT"
8. Mimi Tran
9. Isaac "Ike" Haxton
The last two createthe Barry Greenstein connection. Mimi is obvious, but if you don't follow that other poker forum you might not know that there was some major cyber-friction between Ike and Joe Sebok. Besides, Ike's got game and Norman Chad will make many comments about his hair.
