I think a pool may be in order. All money into central pokerstars(money easily transfered on stars) account for an agreed ammount winner takes all. I have to go out but I have been in said pools before and will post details tonight for points etc. Anybody interested for say $20 a peice post your name below and I will post details later.

[AdamM]

I've gone for
1; Rumit and Dave (though Burnley John was very tempting)
2; Pascal, Tony G
3; Peter Costa and Rod Yong (10/1 what an insult)
4; Julian and John Kabbaj (odds were a slight factor there)
5; Willie Tann, Stuart Nash
6; Lawrence Gosney, Brian Wilson
7; Surinder Sunar, Tony Bloom

[AdamM]

a sweep stake would be an excellent idea.
If it's $20 can we orgamise it not winner takes all.

[Gamblor21]

Right very tough i think...

1st Burney John 2nd EL Blonde

1st Pascal Perrault 2nd Simon Nowab

1st Ian Bradley 2nd Bad Girl

1st Julian Thew 2nd Iwan Jones

1st Peter Gunnarrson 2nd Willie Tann

1st Christer Johansson 2nd Lawerence Gosney

1st Tony  Bloom 2nd Surinder Sunar

to be honest tho i think the heats are so strong that anyone can win! Not one "Easy" heat really, and anyone can win there tables.

Good luck!

[TightEnd]

virtually impossible, some great tables


my choices (two per heat in some cases)


helppi

Don O'Dea, Nowab

Shipley

Black

Nash

Johannson and Cooper

Ben Roberts, Surinder


Actually, Ian and Rob...I think your heat is one of the easier ones....no pressure!!!

[AdamM]

oh, I'd be delighted for you if I'm wrong about heat 3 Ian.

I've tried in most cases to pick a genuine front runner and an outsider with good odds. 10s on Rob was irresistable

[AdamM]

If 425 is William Hill TV, why are they not showing it live, or at least as live?

[Gamblor21]

You say it is one of the easier ones yet we have Serial winners on here lol, from across the pond!

The magician even tho everyone does'nt like him has GAME i think! John Shipley wsop final tables as has peter costa and are winners for a decade... Bad girl excellent tourney player, and would've pefered her off my table! BAMBOS, now he is great i think! When i first started watching poker he was one of my "heroes" i used to come in drunk on a fri...ahhhhhhh the life of a student! Bambos was brilliant on there, I remeber him constantly putting the pressure on his opponnents and one of the programs he pulled off a massive bluff... I was just shocked into silence thinking what a game what a player! I soon wanted to learn to play.

Liam Flood his rep procedes him, Then there's me and Rob(i do think robs price is exagerrated)... to be honest not won anything and i myself am just proud to have my name on that list! But as i said the night before the sat i am going to win it... Well, I am going to WIN IT! Its DECIDED!

[AdamM]

I think heat 3 is just as tough as heat 4.

They're all blinders though, I think we're all agreed on that

[AndrewT]

OK, here are mine.

1 - 1st Juha, 2nd El Blondie

2 - 1st Me, 2nd Who cares?

3 - 1st Peter, 2nd At-it

4 - 1st Andy Black, 2nd Julian

5 - Lots of unknowns to me here. Lets say 1st Stuart, 2nd one of the internet qualifiers, Carmy maybe.

6 - 1st Jani, 2nd Christer

7 - 1st Tony, 2nd Surindar

Seriously, though, my heat is really tough - lots of dangerous players. When I told one of my mates who was in with me, he said 'You're the only name there I don't recognise...' 

[Gamblor21]

I tried to do the same, I think everyone will have a different name for the winners of the heats it depends on who they have played or seen etc... If i was'nt me i would'nt pick me for my heat! "who am I ?" There is so many more you could choose!

I actually think Iwan Jones is the standout bet in the whole market! A very very good player!

[Karabiner]

Include me in the sweep please.

Still thinking about my selections 

[ACE2M]

Estafandri on your table 'at it'. Likes to put the 'at it' players all in if he detects any weakness in pre flop raises/steals. He will do it with almost any two cards. This info maybe entirely useless but there you go.

JT 40/1 for the tourney out right
