Last I checked...this is America. I know most poker players can't handle the concept of free speech.

2) WSOP ME is k1nd of the All-Star game for online poker, since 90% of the field got in on the internet.

Would you agree that the WSOP ME has the best online tournament players?

Great points. I would actually say that when you combine all the best tournament players who qualified online with all the live professionals who entered the tournament, the field for this year's Main Event is almost certainly by far the toughest in the history of tournament poker.

I didn't play, but it seems pretty obvious that you have a lot of dead money. However, that dead money is attracting pretty much every fairly strong NLHE/PLHE pro in the world. You see only five "notable others" left in the tourament. Well there must be some decent no name players busting out all the name players.

Noodle - Don't you see the laugh of it all. If the field is so weak, why did Dan not do better????

It is the stupid self-promotion that you never get from guys like Cloutier, Lederer, et. al. (at least not pubicly).

The fact you took it litertally belies your own stupidly.

Why is the ME field so easy, or weak?? Some pros whine some don't.

I am speechless. Lurk for a few more months, read some posts on statistics, probability, variance, and sample size, and get back to us. This is a really dumb thing to say FYI.
