Offshoot, the most consistant, and freechips are the 2 people Id avoid if possible. Havent played much with Gregghogg, but on the occasions I have, hes taken money off me everytime. Wudnt say I particuarly fear him but he aint gonna make many mistakes, so he wud be in. Bigshann likewise. FORDYCE wud probably be the final name.
If I sat down at my regular game and found that line up, its gonna be hard work trying to make money!!
Myself obviously, wudnt be a genuine post if I wasn't being arrogant!
DOHH
But, you couldnt go wrong with dantb10 and pokerbcity (proven success in the WSOP already)
Out of the mtt players and "all rounders", two of the most consistant imo are phil12uk, and tallboy, and they would give you a good run for your money. (i'd pick tikay too if i could in this category!)
bennydip2 and uzilover, have excellent games and no fear so they would have a great shot of winning the big prize (or going out in five minutes) so they would be my gambles.
Thats me done, apologies to any1 ive missed out, i honestly could have picked another 30 or 40!
WHOOPS, i must include IRISHROVER! an excellent record at the lower stake mtts! But who do i leave out? omg i give up!
My list will be biased a tiny bit as i play with some of them alot / have and know thier games.
Will brewin - absolutely solid solid player
Dantb10 - Incredibly consistent and his deepstack results are impressive [which the 2 1k and 10k tourns will be]
Sharksbite - Very good all round game
Glitterbabe - kinda reminds me of my style but i think he would do well in vegas
I dont think these players need to imrpve all that much but seen as 10% winnings are thier !!! they would get a defo pick
The last two i would pick from a whole host of players i personally could improve thier game for them and be the "dark horses"
Gregg, flash, freechips, phil12uk, angjie, uzi_lover, solack, haysie, theswiss, massie...
just from he top of my head mind.

think they are quite a few decnt players on here
id prob mix it up with solid and agg -
jimifloyd - nutter - phil 12 uk - will brewin (obv reason you gotta give him credit 2 cashes on the trot)
dan tb10, anjie - tallboy - launder - lolufold like evryone says ive prob missed a few off (sorry)
but I think with these guys there is a bit of everything

I truly hope they look around the 30p and £1 SnGs and pluck some raw talent from obscurity. Or maybe some of the afternoon MTT players who are on average miles better than the evening players (and we form quite a close knit club too).
I'll name Craigieboy or Angelkey - not because they're the best players on the site, they're not, but because even I can see they've got something in their games.
that does not make them the best players though....pokerbcity aside i think most of the others would struggle on a even playing field
And what's the point of being the best player on the site if you only play with the 2nd and 3rd best, where you are 2% better than them and the rake is 10%?
The higher stakes players may be good, but most of them are certainly not that smart!
There are lots of good players on Sky but it's very hard to pick a top six.
Sharkscope is one of the best indicators if you have a sample of approx 1000 games, sadly there are no stats for cash.
Here's some
Sharksbite, Uzi Lover, Thetank, Mickjenn1, freechips, Nutter5932,
Phil12uk, Dantb10, Youngster, Massie29, lib1989, anjie1970
& Me ;
Aggressive Fearless Brave and Good, I don't know if he's had any live experience though but he would be on my short list...
Other than him there's many many players who could be considered, and as Big Buster said, the mentor is in for 10% .. so that will sway their thinking, it would mine as well !!
However I thought the end result was down to a vote by the forum public, I could have misunderstood that part, I have been known to be wrong before
You realise that 99% of the high stakes players started off with a very small bankroll just like you all ? i started with £25 3 years ago now - if your good enough you will progress through the stakes.
I persoanlly don't like the fact people are already against players such as will brewin being selected - yes he might play 1/2 cash and win a fair bit but in comparison...everybody on this site plays low stakes poker apart from £2.5/5 cash which is considered medium - high stakes 25/50 !
I don't rate my chances at getting in this thing based on my last 2 months form but when are the players are selected. I will vote for who in my opinion is the BEST TOTAL PLAYER. After all its upto us the players to select the player who is just that. That player may well be Will brewin for example but you have to respect how much work he has put in to get that opportunity and who he has beat to get thier. Some players play some sick sick hours because its thier Jobs -
I for one shall be playing mad hours just to try stake my claim in this even though im on one of those awful runs lately. If hand historys are searched etc im sure thats my glimmer of hope, Just dont be biased to who you play with or like personally. No one doubts the best player on this site may well play .02/.04 cash or 30p DYMs but they have to put some effort into to achieve being noticed also.
Another small rant kinda but its my views.
Same here, and that includes Will Brewin imo
Good post m8
There are a few millionaires who play £5-10 tourneys on this site, just for the fun of it. The stakes you play at are a matter of personal choice and nothing more. Did you know that Bill Gates plays golf for ONE DOLLAR and no more, when he's made over 10 million dollars in the time it takes him to complete the round?
As an aside, it really makes me laugh when a player without a pot to fill urinally, calls a millionaire an idiot and a fool over a £2 pound game of cards!
What a great poser of a question. I will name 6 people who i am wary of when against them as my 6 :
flashflush, nutter, sharksbite, anjie, scotty and solack.
Could have named lots more and thanks for those who voted for me so far.

Never like being on the same table as these guys
I would just like to second what nutter and gregg have said previously. I too started with about £10 about three years ago, and have worked so hard in improving my game through experience and studying strategy. I completely agree that just because a player might be playing 500nl, this doesnt make him a better player that a 30p dym player.
But i would hate to think that a successful player such as ben or will would be overlooked because they have been successful. I feel if a player has shown the dedication and commitment to improve and has grinded their way up to a certain limit then would this not be the perfect criteria that the judges would be looking for?
I would think that most players on the site who play at any blind level with varying bankrolls would love to win this competition as i would think very few players are rolled for $10,000 tourneys!
I wish every player at all limits the best of luck.

I won the Open! Back in October.
I doubled up in my first ever game of Omaha the other night. A £5 DYM.
I also earned £5 in the last Cash for Points bonus.
Come on people, the answer's right in front of you!
