Default If you could devise your own PS 3?

You have just been named the new Tournament Director with of Poker Superstars 3. You get to pick the venue, the structure and 24 players. What are you doing?

I'm really not sure if I want to go with the point system from Season 2 but I'm definitely slowing the blinds down to stop an all in fest.

My 24:

Mike Matusow
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Ivey
Greg Raymer
Marcel Luske
Howard Lederer
Annie Duke
Chip Reese
Freddy Deeb
Doyle Brunson
Daniel Negreanu
Erick Lindgren
Antonio Esfandiari
Phil Laak
Johnny Chan
Dan Harrington
Layne Flack
Scotty Nguyen
Joseph Hachem
Carlos Mortensen
Cyndy Violette
Paul Phillips
Paul Darden
John Juanda

Invite all living wsop me winners, and then fill the rest of the field with persons with the highest bracelet counts. Now that would be exciting.

Eh, it could be cool. But I'm not too excited about seeing Tom McEvoy, Robert Varkonyi, Noel Furlong, etc.

Not sure who I'd take out of that list, but I think you've got to make room for Chris Ferguson and Gus Hansen somehow.

Ungoliant is a badass name. I wonder how many here know its origin.

Gus Hansen - Replaces Phil Laak on OP's list
Chris Ferguson - Replaces Paul Darden on OP's list
Jen Harman - Replaces Cyndy Violette on OP's list
Barry Greenstein - Replaces Paul Phillips on OP's list
TJ Cloutier - Replaces Layne Flack on OP's list.

That's the player-in-me's list. If I were a producer, I'd need Moneymaker on the show. Laak, Flack and Violette would be my alternates

I'd have to delete Daniel Negreanu from your list. His whining about the current TOC changes are pitiful. In fact if he qualified I'd suggest finding a way to disqualify him just for being a nit about it. The rest of your list I like.

If Hellmuth, Chan or Brunson knocked you out of the TOC, you might feel differently. That said, it's irrelevant: He's one of the five biggest stars in the game and will keep getting invites for events like this for the forseeable future.

Disagree. Chris's spotlight has waned enough that his presence isn't needed to bump up ratings. He seems like a nice guy but he's done very little since his 2003 WSOP win. His showing at PS2 was pretty awful. It seemed like he was in awe of the big names playing with him. Understandable but his game really suffered in that oddly structured tourney.
