11 events down

[/ QUOTE ]

He's only played in 8 events, just 1 of which had a buy-in over $2000. If I were someone who had a piece of his action (which I do), I don't mind seeing him bust out early in the low buy-in events - hell, I don't mind seeing him bust out in all of the events provided he's playing his best which I'm sure he is. Good luck, Gavin.

I guess he is just making us wait till the main event final table to pocket some cash.

Re: *Official* \"Gavin isn\'t doing as well as I hoped he would\" Thread
 

as of right now, I'm a little glad I invested only 1/2 a percent -

but I could easily live to regret that decision.

They always pay slightly less than 10% so an average player would cash in 1/10 events. With the lower buyin events with huge fields such as the 1500 events I would expect a lower percentage of cashes but a higher overall earn perhaps 3-4x buyin but still unlikely.

So I suppose a really good player could average cashing 1/8 times but one would also certainly have extended periods with zero cashes.

Let me be the first to say, I think you will be able to look back at this thread and think how silly it is.

Huge fields = huge variance, but he'll put in some nice tourneys. =)

I know it is silly. That doesn't mean I can't hope he takes down 11 bracelets this year.

Re: *Official* \"Gavin isn\'t doing as well as I hoped he would\" Thread
 

Don't you guys have a private e-mail list for this stuff yet?

It's nice to be supportive of a 2+2-er.... I hope he does well too. But starting threads just because some of you have a percentage of him (which no one outside of the backers cares about) is silly.

Duly noted. And I don't actually care one way or the other about this thread. I know that everyone means well. I just felt like stirring the pot a little assuming there was one to stir [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

still alive in the 5000 NL event...
 

Paulie at Pokerpages recognizes him, so he's put on the list of people still seen there about the 2nd dinner break -
gonna be a tough, tough field though.

RB

Re: still alive in the 5000 NL event...
 

pokertrails had him at 35k chips at one point

pokerpages just listed him as still in with 167 to go

Re: still alive in the 5000 NL event...
 

I feel a huge finish coming on guys...to the tune of $600k for first? Yes. That is what I'm feelin'.

Re: still alive in the 5000 NL event...
 

Pokerwire has this entry @ 00:43

2 Gavin Griffin $ 53,000

Re: still alive in the 5000 NL event...
 

Yeah, I was just looking on Paulle's blog and I think he was at 55k.

I'm not backing him but I do have him at #1 in Negreanu's fantasy pool. I'm doing fairly well so far...should he win an event, I'm almost guaranteed a prize.

So uhh, go Gavin and Fischman!

Re: still alive in the 5000 NL event...
 

headed into today with 30k, about 60 left

Re: *Official* \"Gavin isn\'t doing as well as I hoped he would\" Thread
 

Maybe its because the events have like 1000 entrants??????

Re: still alive in the 5000 NL event...
 

Holla! 58 remain, 31 get paid:

Gavin Griffin - $30,200

Seems to be right around the middle of the pack. I feel a run coming on. 600k is coming your way, Gavin! (well, not all of it) Harde-harhar

Re: *Official* \"Gavin isn\'t doing as well as I hoped he would\" Thread
 

36 left, is griffin still in? He didnt bust out in the money yet but I cant find anywhere that confirms he made it to the money because they didnt list every name that busted out before the money. They haven't listed him on the notable chip counts on card player or pokerpages.

--LoO

Re: *Official* \"Gavin isn\'t doing as well as I hoped he would\" Thread
 

it's a mystery right now.... no one seems to know

Re: *Official* \"Gavin isn\'t doing as well as I hoped he would\" Thread
 

There were a few names listed that busted out pre-money, he wasn't on it, he had a decent stack so i would say its 80/20 that he is still in.

I'm not following anything but this thread. But, it would be a bit unusual for a former WSOP bracelet winner to not be mentioned in the updates.

Re: *Official* \"Gavin isn\'t doing as well as I hoped he would\" Thread
 

As someone who has been following the updates, I dont find it unusual in the least - he has not been mentioned in any of the cardplayer updates when they list 'notable' players throughout the WSOP so far. He has also been omitted regularly by other sites that report chip counts, etc.

The only place I find his name regularly is with Mike Paulle's updates on pokerpages - I emailed Mike the first day of Event 2 when I did not see Gavin's name listed and asked what was up - he said he forgot what Gavin looked like but would find him and include him on all his updates from then on - Cardplayer seems to go out of their way to omit him from their 'notable' player chip counts.

Re: *Official* \"Gavin isn\'t doing as well as I hoped he would\" Thread
 

i emailed the woman covering the $5000 event on pokerpages, i'll let you know if she responds (probably wont)

Re: *Official* \"Gavin isn\'t doing as well as I hoped he would\" Thread
 

Whoops, that was fast..

He is still in. They are on dinner break right now and since they have shuffled the seat assignments, Ill need to wait to get you that.

There's 4 tables left, is Gavin that undistinguishable that she doesn't know who he is? Also, what are the chances she thinks you're talking about Gavin Smith, who IS still in the tournament.

Oh god. If she thinks that Gavin Griffin is Gavin Smith, I'm going to have to send TWO hateful e-mails.

beats me, i hope shes not confusing them, plus she posted that smith is still in, why would she respond to an email about a guy she is already keeping track of, i think she would have told me smith was listed....maybe not.
