Default WSOP Main Event: You be the oddsmaker

Assuming a field of 6,000 players, what do you think are the odds are of the following players winning it all:

a) Phil Ivey
b) Phil Hellmuth
c) MLG
d) Yourself (assuming that you play, even if you havent qualified)

After careful consideration, my answers are:
a) 2000:1
b) 2200:1
c) 2800:1
d) 2900:1

Thoughts?

You think Hellmuth has a better shot than Ivey? I disagree [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Ivey's still a young whippersnapper. Hellmuth has the years of experience, superior intelligence, and attitude. As much of a incomplete human being as he may be, the kid can play poker. I don't dispute that Ivey is the best of "our" generation, but Hellmuth is still better. Best in poker, IMHO. How old is Ivey, anyway?

No clue. I agree with you that Hellmuth is the best, but I think Ivey has a better game for the size of the field.

Phil Hellmuth has superior ATTITUDE than anyone, let alone Phil Ivey? Phil Ivey is a stone cold killer at the table, Hellmuth is a stone cold crybaby. Annie Duke nearly sent him into a coma. He's a smart guy, I like him, but...Ivey is a much better player IMHO.

Ivey 100:1
Hellmuth: 750:1
Brunson 100:1
Lederer 100:1
Greenstien: 250:1
Raymer 750:1
Me 5,000:1
Men the Master 100:1
Moneymaker 4,999:1

I think Gigabet at 120:1 would be a great bet for shits and giggles to make the final table.

Phil Hellmuth's intelligence is superior to that of Phil Ivey? That's a ridiculous statement isn't it? How would you even begin to prove that?
