WSOP 2016 Thread, brought to you by Staker

Really like the concept and anything that gets Tighty back onboard is obv a good thing.

Struggling with a strategy for identifying horses, can"t stick a pin in a non-existent list

Anyone got any hints and tips?

I"m favouring the methodical approach, David.

So, for event #3 $10,000 Stud Championship.

I"m using the "Study the Stats" link on the Staker homepage to go to the Hendon Mob rankings page.

Scrolling down brings me to all of the WSOP stats that I could ever hope to see.

I"m immediately going to do a search on the WSOP Stud rankings to see who has shown form over the years.  I might pick 3 or 4 of those guys - lowering the percentage for older players, maybe increasing it for newer players (perhaps more likely to be there as their achievements are more likely to have been recent - definitely not a science though!). 

Then I"ll click through to the WSOP 2015 results and search for Stud.

I"ll go through the 2015 $10k Stud Championship result in detail.  I"ll probably pick 3 or 4 of those guys and take a decent percentage of each.

I might then go through the results of the 2 or 3 other Stud events that happened in that series at lower buy ins.

I"m generally looking for names I"m vaguely familar with, suggesting they are regulars and stud players and more likely to be back.

Ultimately, none of these guys are guaranteed to show.  Hell they might walk into the venue with $10k in their pocket and be accosted by someone they owe money to, or just go off and play something differerent.  That"s one of the very human things about poker - you just can"t predict what will happen!

When one of your guys turns up on a live update or as an end of day chipleader - it"s quite a buzz though!

Best of luck with the series.

I know this is probably a numpty question but I can scroll down and see the stats but how exactly do I do a search as you describe above. Embarrassing I know but there you go.

What is the cut-off point for GUKPT Walsall selections to be made?

9pm on the opening day of play, Tom. 

But play started at noon??

No problem at all, Charlie.

If we start with the WSOP rankings.

Navigate to this page:  http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/rankings/

Scroll down until you see the WSOP rankings section, which looks like this:-



You can see from the image, that a single click will get you a list of the WSOP"s best performing players in many categories, including All Time Stud.  This would be your primary search and it would give you a list of several potential players to select.

To look at a recent set of results, you could take this link to the WSOP 2015 results.

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/festival.php?a=r&n=15841

Once there, you will see the 60 odd events from last year"s series.  Then if you search the page (CTRL F on your keyboard) and type in Stud to the search box, you can scroll through the 5 results - one of which is last year"s $10k Stud event.  Click through on any event to see which players cashed and that offers you another selection of players to choose from.

Try that for starters!

That"s the edge right there....

Sadly, nobody has had the wherewithal to use it.

Not clear about the Facebook bit.

Why does  it want to access my friend list?

Is it going to generate posts on my FB or send messages to my FB friends?

Can I take part without giving permission to access my friend list?

Like you have a friends list anyway?

Event 1, nearly a bracelet for the UK as KerryJane Craigie of the London Hippodrome finished 2nd behind Christopher Sands for $46,000


Event 2 Colossus II

two flights yesterday and 1b is ongoing

1a 108 of 2153 are reported through but will wait for the official end of day sheets to be made public to be sure.

Plenty of British interest near the top of the chip counts including Max Silver

there are another two flights today at 10am and 4pm Vegas time, then another two tomorrow


Event 3 the $10k Seven card stud championship begins tomorrow. that"s a Staker event and last year ran as event 27. This time its much earlier in the series and I wonder if that will affect who plays?

Last year 91 entries and it was won by Brian Hastings. Max Pescatori, Dan Kelly and Scott Clements finalled

the winning hand began   with the   showing. Fish, i tell ya.

Anyway who might we expect to play this?

Well Brit wise i think we have to focus on the usual suspects

a) who plays mixed games regularly?
b) who has $10k to play Stud?
c) are they in Vegas?

My candidates would be

Stephen Chidwick
Matthew Ashton
Richard "Chufty" Ashby
Adam Owen

Whilst to categorise this as an "easy" bracelet to win is wrong, for the big boys who want to win multiple bracelets, and i know of some prop bets going around this year....this is a good shot at one

so we"d expect Negraneau, Hellmuth, Mercier, Seidel etc all to be in the line up...

After 1a and 1b of Colossus there are 5402 entries

over the four starting flights last year there were 22,374 players

Tom "Middy" Middleton is right near the top of the 1b chip counts. One Staker player has staked him, for £143. Well done Ross Warren!

other notables who played on day 1 are

Allen Kessler,
Phil Laak,
Dutch Boyd,
Barry Greenstein,
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi,
and former Main Event champions Carlos Mortensen and Joe Cada.
Maria Ho (through and staked on staker)
Scott Clements (through and staked on staker)

"While these players get a rest, we still have another four Day 1 flights to play and if they so wish, players that have busted 1A or 1B can re-enter into a later flight, even if they have finished in the money. This allows players to cash more than once in the Colossus, as each flight pays 15 percent of the field and will play into the money. All remaining players will reconvene on Sunday at 2pm for the combined Day 2 of play."

[TightEnd]

Official numbers for Flight F of the Collossus, 4,487 players for a total field of 21,613 entries.

Top 674 players get paid in final flight.


chip counts from ABCD are at http://www.wsop.com/tournaments/reports.asp?grid=1232&tid=14902

i will go through the combined chip counts ahead of day 2 and post some notables in here

Event #3: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship

87 runners, 91 last year when it was event 27

38 remain

Adam Owen, Stephen Chidwick and Stuart Rutter are in the 38 with 14 paid

more news at the close of play

in the 28 are big name players, expect many of them to have been staker-staked!

This is bizarre - competing WSOP update threads, reporting the same news, the one run by the players for the last couple of years and, now, the official one. Is there any point in us reporting it when APAT is doing it as well? It could get weird and repetitive when the same stuff is being posted twice. If this is what APAT wants, maybe we should end our one.

Event 3

* The first Championship Event of the 2016 World Series of Poker attracted a field of 87 entries, who all registered for the Event #3: $10,000 Seven Card Stud.

* There will definitely be a new champion this year. Last year"s winner ,Brian Hastings, chose not to defend his title.

* Steve Weiss overnight chip leader.

* Other big stacks and notables include three times WSOP bracelet winner George Danzer (274,000), Chad J. Brown (238,000), Frank Kassela (199,000), Jeff Lisandro (141,000), Brandon Shack-Harris (79,000) and 14-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth (65,000).

* Stephen Chidwick in 9th and Adam Owen 23rd remain for the UK

* only 33 players bagged up chips and the top 14 spots will be paid.

i think my aim, once events finish, will be to focus on the Staker side of things.

leaderboards, who has been staked etc. at the moment there are no completed Staker events

as long as i get that info i can send this in a slightly different direction for you

[TightEnd]

the next Staker event is Event 6

$1500 NLHE, this starts tomorrow

Stakes have to be in for 9pm UK time
