WPT Ladies Night Roster; who should stay, who was missed?

[doublejoker]

Here is the final WPT Ladies night TV episode roster.

It will be televised at the BIKE during the WPT event there.

JJ Liu (defending champion)

Mimi Tran (WPT final table at Foxwoods)

Kristy Gazes

Melissa Hayden

Linda Johnson

One wildcard winner from Bike Ladies Tourney

Notably missing are Anna Wroblewski and Erica Schoenberg.

Who do you feel should be the women selected, and who should be dropped from the roster chosen??

Is this invitational. I have no idea how one gets an invitational. I think Linda Johnson is associated with running tournaments and obviously has connections.

Of course, Jennifer Harmon and Annie Duke are among the top women tournament players. Annette15 isn't old enough.

We already voiced our opinions on this thread.. We didn't like your choices.

I assume they didn't include Schoenberg b/c she was on last year, and they don't repeat contestants except for the reigning champion.

I guess they had to include Johnson one of these years, and since this was not a strong year for women on the WPT outside of JJ, they probably figured this year was as good as any.

I would have replaced Hayden and Johnson with Katja Thater and Victoria Coren, but would be factoring in non-WPT tournaments.
