Default Re: If you had to stake 1 player in the 2006 WSOP ME who would it be?

If I was looking to back the player with the most potential to win it all, I would probably pick Ivey.

If however I wanted to pick the player that would offer me the best chance to get some kind of return on my investment (i.e. cash), I would put my money behind Ferguson.

But what do I know?

I don't know why poeple keep saying Jesus but I don't think he has the stamina to outlast all the players and will eventually put himself into to many "-ev" (for lack of a better word) situations to survive, as is what happens with many pros thinking they can outplay the donkeys at the ME. The structure of the ME is like a tricatholon, and players need to utilize stength, stamina an skil.

Ferguson has won 2 circuit events and final tabled another one in the last year. He final tabled multiple WSOP events this year. No one is a better tournament player in the world.

I ain't gonna argue with your opinion. You can't be serious. You're saying not one person is better then Chris Ferguson?

that was my vote as well, he's been pretty consistent for a long time. Harrington would be #2.

I'd go with Ivey. From what I understand, almost nobody plays more live poker than he does. Playing all day every day for a week would probably faze him less than anyone else, simply because he's conditioned himself for long hours.

If I were going for a cash, I would go off the list. Mike Sexton holds the record for most ME cashes, I think.

I picked Other, which includes all 10,000 of the other players, clearly the favorite.
