hopefully no one. All we need in another internet newbie to win again, and give us another year of graven idol worship posts about how great the lucky suckout one is. Unfortunately, the field will probably be 3/4 people who won their damn entry online by the typical "play like a fking idiot" strategy so commonly used online. This means much larger variance for everyone in the tournamnet.

I want to see a seasoned professional win by playing well.

Cmon Al, I haven't seen any worshipful posts. I've seen posts saying he actually plays OK, but nothing close to worship.

I don't know...if I was in the tournament, I'd want this.

Why? Look at what has happened in the last year. You can't possibly deny that Moneymaker has had a huge positive impact on the game, especially in terms of the boom in internet poker. You should be so thankful about what happened, its brought millions to the tables that would never ever ever have been there otherwise. He's made us all lots of money.

I hope some "hey that could be me" kinda guy wins, Ohh yeah and has a PartyPoker hat and tee shirt on.

my initial reaction to most posts you make is to laugh, but then i remember that it's not a spoof and you're actually serious. then my reaction is to laugh even more. seriously, what are you thinking when you say things like this?

I for sure won't be the next. I just finished almost dead last on PokerChamps' WSOP Freeroll. Everyone there blows too and I played perfect today, just one unlucky All-In.

That was my thoughts too. Another Internet newbie might (should?) make the games stay the way they are a little big longer, and I sure won't complain about that.

I hope it is a newbie like last year.

I played pot limit HE a couple of times with the present newbie and welcome others who get that kind of money and wish to play with me. Hee Hee.
