It's pretty fun.

So, I'm curious. Who do you guys have for your picks, what strategy do you think is best for winning, and who do you think is underrated/overrated and so on?

Should be a fun thread.

I went for a strategy for not having the big name players who I felt would be selected a lot. This would mean on the offchance they don't do well, it's much more likely that if one of my supposed "underrated" players does well, I could pull ahead. However, I still selected some big name players in the A catagory. Mostly I just picked people who I liked their game. It's really just a crap shoot anyways.

A:
Patrick Antonius
Chris "Jesus" Ferguson
Barry Greenstein
Daniel Negreanu
Kenny Tran

B:
Layne Flack
John Juanda
Eric "Rizen" Lynch
Andy Bloch
Eric Froehlich

C:
Men "The Master" Nguyen
Humberto Brenes
Ted Forrest
Huckleberry Seed
Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke

Have fun and discuss.

It looks what we can make different picks for each event.
I did not play around enough to see if this was the case but anyways I got the first 5 events selected and I'll for sure make modifications, if posible for the other events.

These are my picks:

Group A
Justin Bonomo
Dan Harrington
Chris "Jesus" Ferguson
Mike Matusow
Andy Bloch

Group B
Eli Balas
Jean-Robert Bellande
Shawn Sheikhan
John Phan
Scotty Nguyen

Group C
Men "The Master" Nguyen
Minh Nguyen
Patrick Antonius
J.C. Tran
Joe Awada

I actually think I mixed up the groups fairly well. I'm not all that much of a fantasy league player so I don't have a clear grasp on proper strategy for this,

Seems like a fun contest and if we can change picks going forward I'll most likely get involved in this contest further.

Thanks for the link.
