Maybe a better way to phrase the question would be. . .Compared to the stakes you normally play, how much is prestige a consideration in playing this tournament?

put the entire tournament on dvd or at least like 100 hours as someone mentioned, and i will shell out a couple hundred bucks.

make sure to talk to orenstein about the camera invention, as he doesnt get enough recognition and deserves national exposure.

who will be the commentator of this event? i hope that you got 2 competant players to do it instead of a sexton/patton combo.

id love to see scotty nguyen commentate along with one of the first top pros to get eliminated, daniel negreanu in particular. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't feel comfortable posting who is announcing, but it's two guys, one of whom many people on this board respect. A name from the past plus a "play-by-play" guy who has some poker experience and is very good.

NBC had nothing to do with the lines....just thought they may be of interest to the forum.

How the hell is Fischman 12/1 and better (or equal) bet to most of the guys right behind him?

Also, is there a way you could release a NCAA type bracket to us (w/o results) so we can create our little fun bracket pools?

One request is to put all of it on a set of DVD's and sell it for about 100 bucks. I'll be first in line to buy it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll second that request, but no way would I pay $100 for 5 hours of TV coverage.

I think he meant every hand of every match, in which case I'd definitely shell out lots of cash to get it.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's exactly what I meant. I might even be willing to pay a couple hundred. I wonder if a professional poker player could use that expense as a tax deduction?

Unfortunately, this year, the format doesn't lend itself to a distribution of brackets prior to the start of play. My guess is that in future years, brackets will come out early and people can fill them out just like the NCAAs.

FWIW, brackets will be published in major publications prior to airing on TV in May. Most people watching won't know the results as they don't frequent 2+2 or other poker forums, so for them, it will be fun to check out the pairings.

Will the headsuppokerchamp.com site have the brackets up this weekend, or will they try and embargo the results?

Ask them who would win every match if it weren't for luck.
