Plus he cheated at MTG, or so I'm told.

Could you elaborate on this? And what is "MTG?"

[/ QUOTE ]
He had a marked cards and was thrown out of a tournament. He claimed that he was borrowing cards from a friend's deck and didn't know they were marked. Personally, I'm reserving judgement, but some people hold it against him.

1) A complete unknown who got in through a freeroll and luckboxes his way through the whole thing (the last time this happened was pretty good for poker popularity).

[/ QUOTE ]

Hasn't this happened the last 3 years? OK, Greg's a playa, but viewed as an unknown by the media. You gotta be a luckbucket for a week to win the thing.

A followup question:

If you could pick someone to win the ME this year, who (or what type of person) would you choose to help propel poker's popularity the most?

[/ QUOTE ]

Jennifer Harman.

Reasons: Woman, highly skilled, attractive and has a history of battling illness which would be huge in mainstream media.

that's the problem with these polls... +/-1% for you... +/-3% for someone else... +/-0% for me... the results mean nothing.

Not only are you splitting hairs, your taking this poll way to seriously. I seriously don't think whatever answer comes of this is going to be useful for anything, but rather the OP is probably just asking for a few random opinions.

My vote is for hot, bisexual asian triplets to win it, and then slap me around on national television for free (I usually have to pay for such services)

It would help if they had colored hair as well (whether it's full-on pink, purple, etc. or with streaks). And one should wear a nurse outfit (not scrubs, I'm talking old school), another a japanese sailor-moon schoolgirl outfit and another be dressed as some devil-girl. w00t!

What if moneymaker were to win again? I think that would be huge.

Or what about a well known celebrity?

I think these one of these two would winnning would do the most to push the popularity of poker even furher.

Ha ha, funniest thing I've read all day. He's too busy playing heads-up in the paper goods aisle of your local supermarket to win the WSOP again

Who would I LIKE to see win? A 2+2 writer, preferably Fossilman taking back to backs in two largest WSOP ME ever, or Dan Harrington, who is a class act.

[/ QUOTE ]

No offense to 2+2, but the last thing I want is this to happen. I am a poker scrub, but a winning low limit poker scrub. I don't need anyone to alert the others to this goldmine of info. Greg winning last year has already brought too many of us weaklings to this site for quality ejumicashun. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
(FWIW, I was a lurker even before he won, so it wasn't that that brought me here.)
