We are all betting people and poker fans, so the time for making a proposition bet on your favourite ideals to come up trumps in 2011 seems like a fun idea. With so many new, young, hot-shot poker players being spewed forth out of online poker, there are sure to be a few crazy poker surprises. I have been looking at what one expert is saying, and will be going with them with regards as what to expect, and why – because I don’t really know any better?! This game always surprises me, and the winners shock the living daylights out of me, I never know what to expect next.
Our established expert is making 11 predictions for 2011, so, let’s go along with them shall we?
The next biggest and most glamorous event is the PCA or PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas. What a way to start the poker calendar, fun sun, sand and poker?! The prophecy is that an established poker professional will win, and as Poker Stars together with this Caribbean setting is offering a $100 000 nosebleed event we want it to be an old pro.
While we are looking forward to the airing of Viktor Blom – aka Isidur1, the newest Poker Star team player during the PCA; the second prediction is that it would be amusing if Isildur1 did not turn out to be Viktor Blom! However our mysterious poker predictor recons that the masked madman, who is apparently now un-masked will lose $2 million in 2011. This is small potatoes for the Swedish ascetic, who appears to lose all losing inhibitions when playing online poker and once lost $2.5 mil in one year!
Our poker prophet also says that they should sneak in at least three additional stops to the new NAPT and that Tom Dwan will finish and win both “durrrr Challenges”. These are taking place over 50 000 hands against both Patrik Antonius on which he is up approximately $2.5 mil, at around 39 000 hands, and is down $500,783 in 14,190 of 50,000 hands against Daniel “jungleman12” Cates.
UB is rebranding and attempting to overcome the superuser scandal. It has parted ways with their most famous poker pros, Annie Duke and Phil Helmuth to name two. The forecast is that Unibet continues to reinvent themselves. Hellmuth will go with WSOP.com, as the perfect online partner and will also win a 12th WSOP bracelet. Our poker divination expert also says that US online poker legislation will reach the floor for voting and that a woman will win a 2011 WSOP open event – it has been a two year break!
“Peter Eastgate will play in a major poker tournament”, I am not putting my money on that! I believe the Great Dane is out of the game for a while longer, before the poker itch becomes too bad for him to resist scratching. The 10th prediction is that Michael “timex” McDonald will win over $1 million in live-tournament earnings this year, and last but not least; that Tom Marchese will win the WSOP or WPT Player of the Year title. What do you predict?
