Default So who DO/DON\'T you want at your final table?

I was trying to decide who I'd want/not want at the final table with me. I'm assuming chip counts are equal.

My "dream" table...

Phil Gordon
Phil Laak
Kathy Liebert
Maureen Feduniak
Erick Lindgren

I just don't have much respect for any of the 5 although I think most of them have won an event or been very close.

My "nightmare" final table...

Gus Hansen
Jennifer Harman
David Reese
John Juanda
Juha Helpi

I like the playing styles of these 5 and would find them difficult to beat.

Anybody else???

Will I be flogged for not putting Greg Raymer? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I haven't seen him play is my excuse.

My dream table would definitely include the 2 Canadian fellas from the latest episode. They both seemed weak tight to me.

This dream table is insane. Annie Duke, Helmuth and Liebert have serious game and would beat the living crap out of anyone on this board, No Doubt. I had a chance to play with Phil Gordon in Aruba and he's no slouch either. As for the unabomber, he is fearless and unpredictable. He's definetly the weakest of these guys but that doesn't say much.

My dream table (sorry can't remember all names):

1. Amatuer from Carlos Mortenson episode that went out with AJ
2. Horse trainer from same episode that went out with 33 against a set.
3. Guy from canada from this past episode (not long haired guy)
4. Movie producer from the Gus Hansen win last year that went crazy before the hand was finished because he hit a queen.
5. Jerry Buss.

Nightmare table:

1. Howard Lederer
2. Phil Helmuth
3. Juha Helpi - I played with him in Aruba also, relentlessly fearless player.
4. Fossilman
5. Layne Flack

Had to give props to my man Fossil even though he hasn't made a WPT episode YET (ephamsize YET). I've played with him numerous times at Foxwoods. He's by far the best player that plays there and the best I've played with on a regular basis. He DID NOT get lucky to win the WSOP. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy and better ambassador for poker.

Peace

Goodie

It was more of gut generalization, of "top name" pro's that I'd prefer to play...in saying that my actual dream table would look something like this (more thought into this one) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Rebecca Romjin-Stamos
Carmen Electra
Yasmine Bleeth
Elizabeth Hurley
Liv Tyler
Krista Allen
LeeAnn Tweeden
Maria Menounos
Jennifer Love Hewitt

and last but certainly not least.....

You think that Annie Duke, Helmuth, and Liebert would beat the living crap out of anyone on this board? Yet you don't fear them as much as Fossilman?

Yasmine Bleeth is a cracked-out cow. Yasmine Bleeth circa 1995, maybe.

I think you should replace her with Kera Knightley (sic).

Thanks for the very kind words. They are really appreciated. I hope this doesn't mean I owe you something. I am married, you know. ;-)

Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

My dream table:

1) Masoud from last episode
2) Scott from last episode
3) The guy I played with who called all-in against four players with 2-5.
4) The other guy I played with who called my all-in raise with K-6. (I had AK)
5) Norm MacDonald (Is that spelled right?)

My Nightmare Table:

1) Phil Ivey
2) Howard Lederer
3) Antonio E.
4) Daniel Negreanu
5) That annoying guy who says, "quack quack" when he bets. (Only because he would probably put me on tilt in about 2 and a half minutes)
