00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:14,039
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome to a new episode of the Poker

2
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,280
Go Podcast. My name is Donny Peters, and I'm here

3
00:00:17,399 --> 00:00:21,920
solo tonight. It is it just hit eleven o'clock on

4
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:26,039
the dot as I looked at my phone on Memorial Day, Monday,

5
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,559
May twenty fifth. It is the eve of the twenty

6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,640
twenty six World Series of Poker. Just drove home from

7
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,079
the Las Vegas trip from the Poker Grol studio for

8
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,840
what was the annual twenty five K Fantasy Draft hosted

9
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,399
by the One, the Only Daniel Negranu. That's going to

10
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:53,679
be the bulk of the discussion on today's show. But first,

11
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:57,759
a housekeeping item or two. I know we've been off

12
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,240
for quite some time here on on these airwaves. Last

13
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,920
pod was February twentieth. I looked it up. I want

14
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,120
to see the date, February twenty. That was a hell

15
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:10,359
of a long time ago. Sorry about that hiatus. Call

16
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:13,359
out what you will, but we are back for WSP

17
00:01:13,519 --> 00:01:16,760
season and we will be coming to you multiple times

18
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:19,680
a week. My plan is at least five times a week,

19
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:22,239
if not daily. I just don't want to set it

20
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:26,640
the expectation too high and then ultimately fall short. You know,

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,040
so ultimately under to promise over deliver. That's how we're

22
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:31,799
going to go about it. But I also looked at

23
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:34,879
that last podcast, and it was a WSP focused podcast

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,079
because we dropped it talking about the WSP schedule for

25
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:43,879
this year, one hundred WSP Gold Bracelet events. The first

26
00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:48,000
of those kicks off on Tuesday. I'm recording this on

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,599
Monday night. You're likely going to hear this on Tuesday,

28
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,359
so the WSP will be off and running. I don't

29
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:57,599
know how often I'll have a guest or a co

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,599
host on this show this summer, but I love the pod.

31
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:04,159
It's my favorite thing to do when it comes to

32
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,799
this job and my role within this industry. So I'm

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,960
gonna do my damn just to bring you guys something

34
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,639
every single day that I can. Maybe that's every single day,

35
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:18,479
maybe it's ninety seven percent of the days, but we'll

36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,719
see how it goes. This year's twenty five K Fantasy

37
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Draft had twenty four teams. I did not participate this year.

38
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,080
I'll get into that in a little bit my thoughts

39
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,199
on why I didn't do it, But yeah, twenty four

40
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,000
teams this year. That ties the record. The record was

41
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,039
set last year also with twenty four teams, it did

42
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,000
look like there might be twenty five this year. Everyone's

43
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,639
kind of hanging around the studio waiting to get things

44
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:50,240
kicked off. Daniel announced up at the front of the

45
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,240
room that there were twenty five teams, but then shortly

46
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,199
thereafter he said, you know, there's twenty four teams, so

47
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:59,439
maybe somebody backed out, couldn't make it last minute, whatever

48
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,039
the case may be, that tends to happen, you know,

49
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:07,199
every single year. I'm also interesting that twenty four squads

50
00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:09,840
this year. That's a great turnout. Many of us went

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,080
into this even though I had known that I wasn't

52
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,400
going to be participating this year, you know, I still

53
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,240
kept them an eye on things, and it just felt

54
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,719
like the number was gonna be down a little bit.

55
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:23,639
I mean, twenty four is a big ass number from

56
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:26,919
last year, right, And then you know you hear like, okay,

57
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,879
this this person's not gonna have a team this year,

58
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,680
or this team's not going to be back this year,

59
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,879
or this team over here and this team over there

60
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,919
like they're gonna comebine and just be one team. So

61
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,000
you know, I'm thinking, okay, seventeen eighteen nineteen. Maybe in

62
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:42,400
that realm is where it's going to land. Next thing,

63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,039
you know, I mean, there's like sixty seventy people in

64
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,120
the studio and I'm looking around like, holy crap, half

65
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:48,800
these people I don't even know. It looks like a

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,639
bunch of new players in here. So they ended on

67
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,919
twenty four Daniel did announce that first place would be

68
00:03:55,159 --> 00:03:58,960
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, so ten x the

69
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960
twenty five K buy in. He also said the top

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,080
five spots would be paid, so that's gonna be the

71
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,639
payoff structure for this one. Twenty five K Fantasy dot

72
00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:09,759
Com is where you guys can get all the information.

73
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:13,240

there that you can dig into. You can also look

80
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,319
at some past history of stuff, you know, past history

81
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:39,240
of players drafted, how much they went for scoring, past teams,

82
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,920
how they were constructed and put together.

83
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: All that sort of stuff that's.

84
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: Over on twenty five K fantasy dot com and twenty

85

ODB Fantasy, so you can find that. There's a special

88
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,040
tab on twenty five K fantasy dot Com for the

89
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:02,839
ODB Fansantas League and ODB is one of four players

90
00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:06,680
that I spoke to after the draft was over. I

91
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,279
caught up with Sean Deep. He was the first team

92
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:13,399
that completed filling out his roster of all eight players,

93
00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:16,560
I caught up with him. I talked to ODB, I

94
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,879
talked to Jeremy Becker, and then I went out and

95
00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:21,839
I got Ryan Steiner. Now that name you may not

96
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:25,680
know Ryan Steiner. Believe he's out of Arizona player, plays

97
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,199
a lot of poker tournaments around the place I think

98
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,399
you might remember him from would be We did a

99
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,399
Venetian Poker live tournament stream within the last year or

100
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:39,560
so and Steiner was a part of that and made

101
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,399
the final table. I believe went pretty deep there. Also

102
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,319
won the Arizona State Poker Championship. I believe back to

103
00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:50,839
back years if I'm not mistaken. The reason why I

104
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:53,439
wanted to talk to Steiner specifically is because he's a

105
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:57,040
rookie this year in twenty five K Fantasy. I'd been

106
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,399
in his shoes before, being a rookie coming into that room,

107
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:03,160
plopping down twenty five K, you know, battling with some

108
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:06,560
of the biggest names in poker in this fantasy league.

109
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,480
But he got right in and you know, I'll spoil

110
00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:12,199
a little bit, but I love his team, I really

111
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,720
really do. So we'll talk to him as well. So

112
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,360
those are the four players that you'll hear from on

113
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,079
this show, Sean Deep, David Baker, Jeremie Becker, and Ryan Steiner.

114
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,079
Now I told you I would tell you about why

115
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:27,199
I didn't get involved this year. You know, every single year,

116
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:30,959
I plan that when the calendar turns over to a

117
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,240
new year, when January rolls around, that I'll start working

118
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,759
on my spreadsheets. I'll start updating everything.

119
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: I have a.

120
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,439
Speaker 1: Whole big Google doc Google sheets, you know, all worked out.

121
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:47,480
I start updating everything. I import all the results from

122
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,800
last year's w SOOP, I pull results from elsewhere in

123
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,959
the poker world that I think are notable results that

124
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,839
I should start digging into and I really just start

125
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:59,120
aggregating all of this data and I put it together.

126
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,199
And I don't do this all at once, and I

127
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:04,240
don't spend a lot of time like per day when

128
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,040
I sit down, but maybe a couple hours a week.

129
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,560
And that's why I give myself from January all the

130
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,240
way up until the end of May, because you know,

131
00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:15,199
I don't want to just be cramming, cram and cramming

132
00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:17,720
for like two or three weeks straight, So just working

133
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:19,360
on a couple hours a week, and that's how I

134
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:21,519
go about it. Now. This year, I don't know, January

135
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,800
rolled around, calendars flying by, and I just really didn't

136
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:28,279
think about it that much, just in terms of getting

137
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,959
motivated to do it, and next thing you know, it's February,

138
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,639
next thing you know, it's March. I hadn't even messaged

139
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,720
my fellow teammates that I often you know, deep dive with,

140
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,399
do research with, you know, get in the draft room

141
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:45,600
with all that sort of stuff. I hadn't really talked

142
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,240
to anyone about it. I don't know, I just didn't

143
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,920
feel like I wanted to do it. And I'm somebody

144
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,959
who likes to I don't know, listen to what my

145
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,360
mind and my body are telling me. So I said, whatever,

146
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,439
you know, maybe it'll come around, maybe it won't. Well

147
00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:58,040
we'll just we'll just see how it goes. No real

148
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:01,839
reason to force it. I also felt, you know, maybe

149
00:08:02,279 --> 00:08:05,600
once people start talking about it, once I see maybe

150
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:08,000
a couple people hit me up asking me to buy

151
00:08:08,759 --> 00:08:11,199
a share of the team, maybe i'll see, you know,

152
00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:14,680
Daniel posted on social media that it's coming up. Get

153
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,279
your teams together. Maybe I'll see some people, you know,

154
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:19,480
put their schedules out there, thinking, hey, I want to

155
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,839
get drafted. Maybe that'll, you know, spark the motivation for me.

156
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:28,279
But it just never happened. So yeah, so here I am.

157
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,680
I don't have a team. I feel fine about it,

158
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,720
you know, I don't. I don't really feel any fomo,

159
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:36,200
but I still want to talk about it. I do

160
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:40,960
think fantasy poker as a whole is awesome. I do

161
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,159
really want it to grow. You know, obviously, not everyone

162
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,720
has the means to be able to fire twenty five

163
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:52,320
k into a very exclusive fantasy league like the twenty

164
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,639
five K Fantasy, But I know plenty of people out

165
00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:57,600
there have five hundred bucks that they can fire into

166
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,639
the ODB Fantasy. So if that's your fancy, I would

167
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,759
highly encourage you to do so. And again, all that

168
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,759
information for both the different leagues is available over at

169
00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:09,799
twenty five k fantasy dot com. As a reminder, every

170
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,799
team gets two hundred auction dollars that they bid on players.

171
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:18,080
The roster is constructed of eight players. You got you

172
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,720
gotta pick eight. You can't pick seven, you can't pick six, No,

173
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,799
you gotta you gotta pick eight, and then you can't

174
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,440
spend more than two hundred dollars. It goes around the room.

175
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 3: You know.

176
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: The first team that gets a drawn to nominate, they

177
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,320
got to throw a player out. The bidding happens back

178
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,840
and forth. They'll settle on teams. I'm sure many of

179
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,840
you out there who are listening know how it all

180
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:39,879
goes by now, if you missed the draft and you

181
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:42,200
want to relive it or maybe skip through and catch

182
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,600
some of the highlights. We did stream it on the

183
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,960
Poker Go YouTube channel. The draft did take place at

184
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,039
the Poker Goro studio, so we turned on the cameras.

185
00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:53,120
We fired up the live stream for this one. It

186
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,120
went about four or five hours, I believe was scheduled.

187
00:09:56,159 --> 00:09:58,600
The kickoff at four thirty. Got started a little bit late,

188
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,720
finished I don't know, nine nine thirty something like that.

189
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:04,919
I think wasn't really looking at the clock, but you know,

190
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,840
you guys can check it out if you want. I know,

191
00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:10,159
it was a little bit later here in Vegas, so

192
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,399
maybe not everyone in other parts of the world were

193
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:15,799
able to tune in, but really lively chat was going on.

194
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,120
You know. Obviously people are debating if picks were good

195
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,080
or bad, if they were valuable or not, all that

196
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,240
sort of stuff. So yeah, and then just just looking

197
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,639
over the teams, you know, I'm just gonna kind of

198
00:10:25,639 --> 00:10:27,679
go through. You know, I was in the room, so

199
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,200
I kind of I had some thoughts when things were happening,

200
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,519
you know, in the moment. But I'm also now looking

201
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,639
at all twenty four of the teams and I'm kind

202
00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:38,120
of just kind of go through them, and I guess

203
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,320
touch on you know, what I think is maybe good

204
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:44,120
or bad. I will say that I do feel like

205
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,720
I am somewhat of an expert in this regard. I

206
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,120
guess I have played this thing many times.

207
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: Again.

208
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: I love Fantasy Poker. We did win it one year too,

209
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,200
so you know, typically cap to us for being able

210
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,879
to do that first team that that's on my list.

211
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,240
I'm just gonna go with how it was on the

212
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:03,840
Google sheet. But this is also the first team that finished,

213
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,840
which belongs to Sean Deeb. He's Team Lucky if you're

214
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:10,240
looking for his team over on twenty five k fantasy

215
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:15,600
dot com. He has Esther Taylor, Max Nusbauer, Frankie Brannon,

216
00:11:15,799 --> 00:11:19,559
Dylan Wiseman, Martin Cabrell, Carrie katz Ze, Nig Zizka, and

217
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,799
Andreas Frolick. I spoke with Sean afterwards. I'll get to

218
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,960
that interview in a little bit, but you know, Sean

219
00:11:27,159 --> 00:11:30,559
was like, you know, a lot of these guys are European.

220
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,159
People may not know about him. I'm in a room

221
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:36,360
with a bunch of dumb Americans, and I really love

222
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,519
my team. I have some question marks around the picks

223
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,480
of Esther Taylor Eta. You know, it's just more of

224
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,600
like what sort of volume are we gonna get from her?

225
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:48,960
I know she plays mixed games, and there's obviously a

226
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,720
lot of mixed games on the schedule, but I don't

227
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:56,159
think you can go like just a mixed games person player,

228
00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:58,519
right Like, I just I don't know. I feel like

229
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,200
they need to be playing kind of everything. I'm I'm

230
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,120
a big, big volume guy when it comes to constructing

231
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:07,879
a team. I think you just need max volume. And

232
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,159
deep did say he thinks that. You know, his team

233
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,919
probably has the most volume of any other team, which

234
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,120
I guess is hard for him to say because when

235
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,799
I talked with him, he got done and he was

236
00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:21,320
gonna leave, and there was still multiple hours left in

237
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,720
the draft. You know, teams were like half done. So

238
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,000
I don't know how he can say that right now,

239
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:28,879
but you know, it is what it is. I do

240
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,840
love the Martin Cabrell pick.

241
00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 2: Now.

242
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,159
Speaker 1: I know Martin Cabrell is an extremely polarizing player, but

243
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,279
Martin Cabrell for sixty nine dollars is quite nice, no

244
00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:45,679
pun intended. I mean he's a guy who I mean

245
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,480
he only plays the wop or at least it's ninety

246
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,480
nine pop. He's gonna be out there raising all types

247
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:58,200
of hell in the fifteen hundred dollars monster stack all

248
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,480
the way up to the two hundred and fifty k

249
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,919
super High. I mean, he's he's gonna play it all.

250
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:05,240
Last year, you know, he won a bracelet in the minime.

251
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,519
You know, one K buying you know, multiple thousands of

252
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,120
players in that field. But then he's also someone who

253
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,720
he's going to be in the twenty five k's, he's

254
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:14,840
going to be in the fifties, the one hundred k's,

255
00:13:14,919 --> 00:13:17,039
the two fifty, like, he's going to be doing.

256
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: All of it now.

257
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:22,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, Martin likely doesn't play all the mixed games unless

258
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:24,120
he learned some recently that I don't know about. But

259
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,879
he's going to be firing all the no limit stuff.

260
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:28,919
He's going to be firing all the PLO stuff. So

261
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,159
I really do like Martin Cabrell for sixty nine there,

262
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,519
Like I think he's a player who, you know, you

263
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,159
could make the case that he could push eighty ninety

264
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,720
maybe even kind of flirt with three digits. So yeah,

265
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,960
you know, Max Neusbauer, I don't. I mean, he was

266
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,480
in the room and he had a team and he

267
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:53,000
was bidding on himself. So I think that alone tells

268
00:13:53,039 --> 00:13:56,559
me that he has interest and d was able to

269
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:58,919
snatch him up. Carry Katz I always think is a

270
00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:01,639
pretty goodbye. You know, Carry freaking loves it. He'll be

271
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,039
there every day. So twelve dollars for Kerry Katz I

272
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,960
think is really good. Is that in Axisco I don't

273
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,320
really know too much about, and the same with Andreas Frolick.

274
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,639
But you know, I'm guessing they're pretty good European players.

275
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,639
But enough for me, let's just hear it right from

276
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,720
the man himself. This is Sean Deep. Hi, Sean Deep,

277
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:25,440
you are the first team to wrap up in the

278
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,440
twenty five K Fantasy Draft. You just shared a little

279
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,919
bit of thoughts hot way, how did it go?

280
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 4: I think that most of the team captains are Americans.

281
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,080
They don't know who the fuck I drafted. I have

282
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,200
four amazing Europeans who put on amazing results in Walter's Europe.

283
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,679
Speaker 2: They're all gonna put it in a fan volume like

284
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:44,080
I love my team.

285
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,279
Speaker 4: I think everyone I got on my team I would

286
00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:48,799
have paid at least ten dollars more for, if not more.

287
00:14:49,399 --> 00:14:52,919
So obviously I'm willing to coach them the mixed games.

288
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:56,960
You know they have money behind them. It's just the

289
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,960
amount of volume and tournaments buyings played in my group

290
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,080
is probably gonna be number one of any team. So

291
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,440
it's yeah, I'm shocked. Like there's so many people I

292
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,360
got stumbled upon that I just laughed at. I think

293
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,480
no one knows who they are and listen, I'm out

294
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,120
of poker. I'm not that knowledgeable, but I guess, going

295
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,720
on a will two's year up the last you know,

296
00:15:17,799 --> 00:15:21,000
ten years, I've met some people who are amazing poker players,

297
00:15:21,039 --> 00:15:23,559
amazing people to root for. Everyone on my team is

298
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,240
begging for pieces. I'm going to make a ton of

299
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,200
side bets and yeah, it's a it's a good spot

300
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:28,519
to be in.

301
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,159
Speaker 2: Who on your team do you think is your best pick?

302
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: Carry Katz for sure? You got him for twelve dollars,

303
00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:39,200
What a fucking joke. I think Carry's going for like

304
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,240
fifty to seventy. A few years I had him a

305
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,399
bunch of times. I love Carrie as a person. We

306
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,799
already talked about me coaching him in mixed games. He

307
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,679
plays nolanmitt plo well and plays the highest stakes obviously,

308
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,360
and he loved you know, he wont to bracelet last year.

309
00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:55,799
I know he's not as motivated because he want to

310
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:58,240
get his you know, the chip off his back. But

311
00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:02,639
he is an amazing person to root for. Yeah, he's

312
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:06,080
a great student. He's obviously so fucking intelligent. Yeah, I

313
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,840
think I have the smartest team. I think I have

314
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:14,440
the Yeah, I just I'm in shock, because I literally said,

315
00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:16,840
going into this event, I was like, I'm making no

316
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,120
side bets because I did no research, and I'm gonna

317
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,000
have a shitty team. I always get stuck with some people,

318
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:24,919
and I bit on some people, and I just when

319
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,799
the gavel got hit, I was just looking around and

320
00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:30,720
was just like, people clearly don't know who they are,

321
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,720
what they're capable of. How come you don't take yourself.

322
00:16:35,559 --> 00:16:38,519
I tried to actually take myself this year. Usually I don't.

323
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,519
I also change my schedule, like I listen, I come

324
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:43,639
here for Player of the Year. If I draft myself,

325
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,279
I would if I had myself on my team, I'd

326
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,080
play the five hundred tomorrow first over the five k.

327
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,840
For POI, the five k is by far the play,

328
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,039
but for Fantasy it's a little different. So I was

329
00:16:56,039 --> 00:16:58,679
happy to not take myself because I can avoid some

330
00:16:58,759 --> 00:17:01,559
of the biggest field stuff and I can play more

331
00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:03,799
to win and final table as opposed to to get

332
00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:06,359
the field bonus. But that's the thing I love about

333
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,440
my team is I think I can coach them on

334
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:11,799
the inflection points of fantasy and teach them the evy

335
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,640
of where to stole and when not to, so I'm

336
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,720
sure World Treo's gonna be pissed I'm talking about this stuff.

337
00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:21,079
But yeah, it's kind of an unfortunate thing when you

338
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,359
have this much money on the line that people, you know,

339
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:25,720
affect the tournaments.

340
00:17:25,759 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, I kind of.

341
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 4: Exit it out, but we'll let it ride. I'm sorry, Jack.

342
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:31,400
What do you think about your price?

343
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty three dollars the most expensive player

344
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:34,200
this year's draft?

345
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: Uh, I think it's reasonable.

346
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 4: Obviously the last five ten years, I've put up the

347
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,799
most points per average, and obviously with my start in Europe,

348
00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:46,759
I'm going hard for Player of the Year, going to

349
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:50,319
play a lot of the high buy ins. But it's

350
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,160
also you know, I was a highest point getter last year.

351
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,720
That's a hard thing to do with this many people

352
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,640
and this many events. But yeah, I think it's reasonable.

353
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,759
I think I have the highest floor out of anyone,

354
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,480
and I think everyone agrees that here. So if you're

355
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,400
gonna make side bets, if you have a lot of

356
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,960
good one dollar players, if I knew I could get

357
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,200
some of the people I did for what I did,

358
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,920
I might have bid more on myself, Like I would

359
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,079
love to have myself on my team instead.

360
00:18:14,759 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: Of one or.

361
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 4: Two other people. But I will still take my team

362
00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:22,400
versus pretty much anyone. I don't care my team's the

363
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,039
first one done. I will blindly bet versus any group

364
00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:28,240
of eight if anyone wants to side bet shops open.

365
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,079
Speaker 1: Is there anyone out there that you were surprised with

366
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:33,119
either how high they went or how low they went?

367
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,839
Speaker 2: Well, there's always a lot of things. I think.

368
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 4: You know, it's crowd, everyone's drinking, everyone's distracted. Some people

369
00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:42,400
definitely go for weight, like BENI was super low. There's

370
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,240
just people kind of have an idea of what they

371
00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:46,400
want their team to be, and they don't bid on

372
00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:48,920
just good players. Like I wasn't planned getting most people

373
00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:52,119
on my team. I just saw them, I know their capabilities,

374
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,400
and I bid on them and then the bidding just stopped.

375
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,440
So yeah, it's kind of a weird spot where I

376
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,480
think most people are not aggressive enough bidding on great players.

377
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,200
They just kind of have an idea who they want

378
00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:07,960
and if you get someone for way below value, why

379
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:08,559
not take them.

380
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lot of teams in this draft.

381
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 4: Obviously the side bets you want a different team floor based,

382
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,440
and I was actually picking my team originally on ceiling,

383
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,680
not floor, but I end up with some amazing floor guys,

384
00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:23,599
and so yeah, so now I'm making side bets.

385
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,079
Speaker 1: It's Monday night, it's Memorial Day. WSP starts tomorrow. Are

386
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,799
you somebody who feels on the eve of it all

387
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,039
I'm fired up? Or are you more like, okay, time

388
00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:33,960
to punch the clock.

389
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: Nine to five. So I actually mentioned this to someone yesterday.

390
00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 4: I feel more pressure on myself this summer than another

391
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:43,759
summer because of my start in Europe. Everyone just assumes

392
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:45,799
it's back to back player of the year. I know

393
00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:47,720
how fucking hard it is to do that.

394
00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 2: I've tried.

395
00:19:49,599 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 4: I also know how great a start I have, but

396
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,000
also the variance that can be and also Bahamas will

397
00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:56,480
be huge. You know, so many big buy in small

398
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:01,119
field events. But I'm excited to play poker. I love

399
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,599
the World Series and my wife is holding down the

400
00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:06,559
ford at home and I get to be here for

401
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,599
fifty some days and she takes care of the kids

402
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,359
and every other responsibility. So now I'm in poker mode,

403
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,440
which I haven't been in since you know, last year.

404
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: If you were to predict your summer, what do the

405
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,440
results look like?

406
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 4: I think one win, two seconds, a fourth, and like

407
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:31,480
two other final tables.

408
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:35,319
Speaker 1: All right, So that was Sean Deeb. You heard him

409
00:20:35,319 --> 00:20:37,680
talk about how he feels like his team is going

410
00:20:37,759 --> 00:20:39,680
to put in a ton of volume. He likes his

411
00:20:39,759 --> 00:20:43,039
team compared to any other team out there. I'm sure

412
00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:45,519
he's gonna have plenty of side action on the line.

413
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:48,000
You know, deep is somebody who it's I mean, it's

414
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:50,839
it's absolutely all or nothing every single summer. I mean,

415
00:20:50,839 --> 00:20:53,799
the guy is all in. He chases Player of the

416
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,799
Year just to a crazy degree. He goes after all

417
00:20:57,839 --> 00:20:59,920
the brace. That's he's going to be there every single day.

418
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:02,119
And then on top of it, you know he has

419
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,039
tons of side action going for him in the fantasy stuff.

420
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:12,079
So Deeb is all in every single summer. Team Glazer,

421
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,880
that was a Benny team Glaser. Excuse me, Benny Glaser

422
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,440
and Chris Brewer. They got Brandon Shack, Harris Craig Chate,

423
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,680
Shawn Winter, Kristen Foxen, Dan Smith, James Opps, Blajerry Off,

424
00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:27,160
and Patrick Stacey. Now, this is a tricky thing when

425
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,440
you go to turn up. You know, if you're going

426
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,279
to enter an ODB team, you're going to see Patrick

427
00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:32,839
Stacey thirty four dollars. Why what the heck just happened? Well,

428
00:21:32,839 --> 00:21:34,720
they had thirty four dollars left, they had one player

429
00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:36,960
to fill, so they just fired him into thirty four

430
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,200
dollars just to make sure that no one else could

431
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,160
get him. I think Blajerryoff is a very very good

432
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,960
pick here. Underrated player had a lot of success either

433
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:48,799
last year or the year before at the w SP,

434
00:21:49,839 --> 00:21:51,440
challenging for Player of the Year. All that sort of

435
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,160
stuff kind of came out of nowhere to do that.

436
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,799
Love that pick. I think Kristin Foxon is going to

437
00:21:56,839 --> 00:22:00,359
be a pretty good pick Sean Winter, you know, as

438
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,359
long as he's out there for sure playing all the

439
00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:07,000
high buy and big bet stuff. A great pick as well.

440
00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:09,000
Brandon shack Harris is a little bit of a wild

441
00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:11,400
card to me. You know, he's kind of had up

442
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,839
and down years in terms of how much volume we're

443
00:22:13,839 --> 00:22:15,799
got to get out of Brandon shak Harris. But he

444
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,079
was in the room. He was hanging out with these guys,

445
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,839
so I'm guessing he's in the know with them. Next up,

446
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,440
we got the Lang gang. That was Mike Lang and

447
00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:29,680
Josh Reichard. They picked somebody who is the first on

448
00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:33,440
my notes that I think is a bit too expensive,

449
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:38,319
and that is Ari Angele Listen love Ari, absolute grinder.

450
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,839
He'll be playing poker every single day. The question is

451
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,319
will he be at the World Series of Poker every

452
00:22:45,319 --> 00:22:47,720
single day? That's the big question mark with Ari. You

453
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,519
know he's gonna hunt value all.

454
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 2: Over Las Vegas.

455
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: We've seen Las Vegas. We've seen it in the past.

456
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,480
So just don't know if he's going to be one

457
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,119
all in on the World Series. In my opinion, you

458
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,880
want people who are ninety nine percent, if not one

459
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,240
hundred percent, going to be at the World Series of Poker.

460
00:23:09,559 --> 00:23:11,759
That's the only place that they go. That's the only

461
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:15,559
place that they will play. And you know, some players,

462
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,920
it's hard to gauge if they will or if they won't.

463
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,039
You like to think that they will, but then maybe

464
00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:23,279
they find something at the win or at the Aria

465
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,720
or wherever it may be that that might draw him in.

466
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:28,640
So it's it's it can be a guessing game for

467
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,799
some players, and you can be surprised when they go

468
00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:33,559
out their I get it. But Ari, I think I

469
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,680
think he you know that he's gonna search elsewhere. Now

470
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,240
maybe they have inside information that he's only going to

471
00:23:39,279 --> 00:23:41,759
be playing at DABISPI. I don't know, but you know

472
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,519
that that's a little bit too risky for my taste.

473
00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:46,759
Jeremie Osmas for ninety dollars, also on this team.

474
00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:47,599
Speaker 2: I like it.

475
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,039
Speaker 1: Ren Linn, he's back twenty nine. I like that one

476
00:23:51,079 --> 00:23:55,160
as well. Alan Kesler for two dollars. I sneaky love

477
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,160
Alan Kesler this year. I bought some of his action

478
00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:01,480
in a small package on Poker Steak. I think in

479
00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:03,759
those events he's going to have a pretty big year.

480
00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:07,160
So I like Alan Kesler a lot for two dollars.

481
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,359
Mike Lea is another one that sticks out on this team.

482
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,440
Eight dollars for him. Lee has been having some success

483
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:16,000
this year up in Canada in some events. Just question

484
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,759
mark on volume with him now. As I said, you know,

485
00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:21,920
I didn't really feel motivated to do it this year.

486
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,359
I ultimately did not get into the twenty five K fantasy.

487
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,400
So I don't have all the research that a lot

488
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,039
of these guys might have done, because a lot of

489
00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:29,839
my research as well is you know, reaching out to

490
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,720
all the different players saying like, hey, what's your schedule,

491
00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:34,559
what's your schedule or just checking their social media and

492
00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:36,599
trying to get a feel for it. So I may

493
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,759
just be being the unknown on things there. That team

494
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:44,359
rounds out with Jim Collapy, Brad Jansen, Ian Matakis, Nick

495
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,559
Waghenti Blades and Shades really like this team. Jesse lows

496
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:52,319
for sixty nine that could probably be upwards of eighty ninety.

497
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,519
Now he's not going to fire a ton of mixed,

498
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,000
you know, but listen, I think Jesse Mike Dabble, he's

499
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,079
a gambler, he loves it, and I think he might

500
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,799
also be someone who is very likely going to be

501
00:25:05,519 --> 00:25:08,599
always at the WSIP. So I do like that pick.

502
00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:14,240
Chris Hunikan for thirty five seems a little bit high

503
00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:17,000
for me, but yeah, it is what it is.

504
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:17,799
Speaker 2: Jack Pan.

505
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,079
Speaker 1: Chinghai Jack Pan second or third on the PGT leodleboard.

506
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,799
He went for twelve dollars here, which I like. You know,

507
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,799
and some players were questioning if he's going to be

508
00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:35,680
pulled away from the ws AP to play some of

509
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,519
the PGT stuff that's happening over at the studio. There

510
00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:40,880
are ten events at the studio, you know. Some of

511
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,240
the players are like, oh, he's going to be gone

512
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,839
for two weeks playing that sort of stuff. I mean,

513
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:47,480
those are I believe, single day events. They're pretty fast,

514
00:25:47,519 --> 00:25:50,400
they get done. And listen, if he wants to win

515
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,720
the PGT leadleboard, great, but there are thirty one PGT

516
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,519
qualifying WISOP events, so he can get a ton of

517
00:25:57,559 --> 00:26:01,319
points just by saying at the w SP spite work

518
00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:06,160
that was Matthew Wantman Bow Dang, Robert Wells, Pouna, Puncrie,

519
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,599
Jeremy Becker's on this team, Dylan Smith, Riot Turo Suzuki,

520
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,599
Renji Maut, David Peters. David Peters is a question mark

521
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:15,920
with everything that's been happening, you know, getting called out

522
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,279
by Dylan Lindy. You know, how much volume is he

523
00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:21,119
going to play? And even if he is there playing volume,

524
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,960
how high is he going to play? Because if his

525
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,960
financials aren't in order, as is alleged by some out there,

526
00:26:29,079 --> 00:26:32,920
then maybe he can't get the backing or he can't

527
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,599
sell pieces off at the higher buying stuff. You know,

528
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,839
I'm talking fifty K, one hund k two hundred fifty

529
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,640
k that sort of stuff. I also do think though

530
00:26:40,759 --> 00:26:44,720
this is a bi loo opportunity on David Peters. I

531
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,960
mean It's kind of like the stock market, right, you

532
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:51,519
buy during the dips, like and I gotta think a

533
00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:55,160
guy who might be having some trouble that needs to

534
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,799
make shit work. The pressure is on. I mean, it's

535
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:01,480
not that David Peters is not a talented poker player.

536
00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:07,799
I think he's a very good, solid, technical, talented poker player,

537
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,720
all that sort of stuff. So I like the bilo

538
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:13,359
aspect here and getting number three bucks for Matthew Wantman.

539
00:27:13,759 --> 00:27:16,559
I don't hate it. Glue Factory. That's Dan CBO's team.

540
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,279
He drafted Matthew Wantman, Chris Vich, Calvin Anderson, Dario Sammartino,

541
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,440
Maxim Pisa, Renko, Matt Vanger, and Tyler Phillips and he

542
00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:28,519
drafted himself Dan cepl team seems fine, nothing special, nothing

543
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:31,279
really that sticks out. I just I just I'm not

544
00:27:31,319 --> 00:27:33,480
a fan of the build. You know, when you get

545
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,440
four or five six players all kind of in that

546
00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:40,039
thirty to fifty dollars range, you know, twenty to fifty

547
00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:43,400
dollars range, all those middle guys. I'm very much a

548
00:27:43,519 --> 00:27:46,480
Stars and Scrubs guy, as you guys know out there

549
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,400
who have listened for many years, and you know how

550
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,960
we always build our teams. We try and get one

551
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,480
or two heavy hitters, and then we fill everything out

552
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:57,799
with you know, cheap bargain buy lottery tickets. Eric Wasserson,

553
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,240
Victor blom Adam Hendrix, Isaac Hackson, Steven Chidwick, Shannon sure

554
00:28:01,319 --> 00:28:04,279
Brian Yunan, huck Seed, John Turner, this this, I mean,

555
00:28:04,319 --> 00:28:07,599
I can't jive with this team either. It's just very,

556
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,920
very questionable. I think the best one here is prob

557
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,920
I mean, I like Shannon Shore for eleven dollars, Victor

558
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,759
Bolm for sixty nine is probably gonna be fine as

559
00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:20,119
long as Victor's playing a full schedule. But some of

560
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,079
the other ones, I just you know, I just question

561
00:28:22,759 --> 00:28:25,400
huck Seed. I know, he made a big push last summer.

562
00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:28,200
You know, he got picked up by Fenam Poker, he

563
00:28:28,279 --> 00:28:30,160
was playing a big schedule, all that sort of stuff.

564
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,680
I mean, how much is he going to be playing

565
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,359
this year? But maybe Wasserton, you know, being in that circle,

566
00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:36,920
that high stake circle, maybe he has some insight there.

567
00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:40,240
All right, Now we get up to Ryan Steiner's team

568
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:44,000
State Kings. So it wasn't just Ryan Steiner, as you

569
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,279
guys will hear in the upcoming interview with him. It

570
00:28:46,359 --> 00:28:51,519
was him, It was Jonahl Branch, Tyler Hancock, and then

571
00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:54,359
I think one other person was involved. And forgive me

572
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,559
for not knowing that person's name, but Brian Rass for

573
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,400
ninety seven, David odib Bigger for sixty one. So those

574
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:07,599
are your big guns. Feels a little pricey on Brian Rast.

575
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,960
It's a volume thing with him. Just need to make

576
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,160
sure that he's out there playing every single day and battling,

577
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,720
because if he is, then Rast he's one of the

578
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,599
absolute best to ever do it. But I will say

579
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,000
that if I think that that might be slightly overpriced.

580
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:27,119
David Baker odb our guy at sixty one, I think

581
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,079
it's underpriced. And listen, is odb going to be in

582
00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:33,839
the twenty five k no limits and plos, the fifty

583
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,799
k's the hunter k's the two fifty k highly likely?

584
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 5: No, But.

585
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: He's one thousand percent going to be at the divisity

586
00:29:43,079 --> 00:29:46,079
every single day. He's going to be nowhere else nobody

587
00:29:46,119 --> 00:29:47,640
loves it more. So I gotta put him at the

588
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,920
top of the heart rangings. Just absolutely have to. And

589
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,279
like I just think he's in a really, really good spot,

590
00:29:54,319 --> 00:29:54,519
you know.

591
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: To me, ODB.

592
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,039
Speaker 1: I mean, and listen, I'm biased. That's my guy. But

593
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:04,440
he's gonna show up every single day and play what

594
00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:07,200
is his A game. Now, you can argue that his

595
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:10,559
A game might not be the best a game that

596
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,039
there is in poker, but that's fine because a lot

597
00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:17,519
of times people are fluctuating between their A game and

598
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:20,200
their D game or maybe their F game, like you know,

599
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,839
depending on the day or depending on what's happening. Right, So,

600
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:26,559
but somebody that just shows up every single day freaking

601
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,599
loves the grind owns it and you know, plays their

602
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,079
best game no matter what, no matter if he's zero

603
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,720
for fifty in the summer or if he's smashing everything

604
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,119
in his one five bracelets like, he's gonna be doing

605
00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:41,960
his damn thing. Now. The rest of this team and

606
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
you guys are for sure gonna understand why I love

607
00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:47,880
this team. Steven Song for eighteen, that's our guy. Now.

608
00:30:48,279 --> 00:30:50,559
Supposedly he's not playing as big of a schedule this year,

609
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:52,279
but it doesn't matter. He'll probably still hit three or

610
00:30:52,279 --> 00:30:57,079
four field bonuses. John Reardon, the King, the King himself

611
00:30:57,079 --> 00:30:59,599
for twelve dollars. That's a freaking steal. What the hell

612
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:00,519
are these people doing.

613
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: See.

614
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,799
Speaker 1: The thing with Weird is that his price got a

615
00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:04,480
little bit out of whack because of how much he

616
00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:07,160
smashed it for us. So now it's kind of coming

617
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,039
back down to the earth over correcting the other day.

618
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:11,039
He's definitely worth more than twelve dollars. He's another guy

619
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:14,640
who's going to be at the sip every single freaking day.

620
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,039
And John is very very very good. Nick Seward for

621
00:31:17,119 --> 00:31:21,240
nine dollars, very good. Ethan Yao aka Rampage for a buck,

622
00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:23,359
Brandon Shields for a buck, Michael Wang for a buck.

623
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,279
Those are great one dollar flyers, one dollar lottery tickets.

624
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:27,839
Speaker 5: You know.

625
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,039
Speaker 1: Ethan yoo Is he's a blaster. If he gets hot early,

626
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,759
he might just fire literally everything. Brandon schiels I played

627
00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:38,960
with him a bit, very very good player. Michael Wang

628
00:31:39,359 --> 00:31:42,279
also a beast as well. But enough of what I'm

629
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:44,680
saying about this team. Let's let's hear from Ryan Steiner,

630
00:31:44,759 --> 00:31:48,160
a rookie to the twenty five K Fantasy Draft. Let's

631
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,279
hear from him right now. All right, Ryan Steiner, you

632
00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:53,480
just wrapped up your team. You just told me before

633
00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:55,200
I hit record that you feel really.

634
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:55,759
Speaker 2: Good being rookies.

635
00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:57,599
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I wanted to ask you about first

636
00:31:57,599 --> 00:31:58,000
time here.

637
00:31:58,119 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you feel wrapping things up?

638
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 6: Little nervous up front? Like our first couple bids, we

639
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,400
were trying to feel it out a little bit, and

640
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,519
I think we went a little heavy on our first

641
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:14,039
couple guys. But looking back, I'm thrilled with all eight

642
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:15,480
players that we got.

643
00:32:16,319 --> 00:32:19,359
Speaker 1: This is a team that I look at and I say,

644
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,279
if I were to construct the team, I would build

645
00:32:21,279 --> 00:32:23,839
it like this. I have played this many times and

646
00:32:24,759 --> 00:32:27,400
I like the stars and scrubs. You know, two big guys,

647
00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:30,240
a bunch of cheap guys. I'm partial to Stephen Song.

648
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,440
Great pick there, John Reordan. We coined him, we coined

649
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:37,279
him the King. So you got the King. I mean,

650
00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:39,240
this is a great build. Now, how do you land

651
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:40,880
on someone like a Brandon Shields?

652
00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 6: He was one that so I've got four of us

653
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,039
on the team. It was me, Tyler Hancock, Stephen Jones,

654
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:52,839
Jonah Lebranch. The four of us were all in on

655
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:59,079
this equally. He was a name that independently both me

656
00:32:59,319 --> 00:33:02,680
and Jonah and Steven were like, here, this should be

657
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,319
a sleeper for a dollar, and we all like kind

658
00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:07,000
of secretly circled him on our on our list and

659
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,079
was like, Okay, it's meant to be if all three

660
00:33:09,119 --> 00:33:11,799
of us think that that's our next guy. I think,

661
00:33:11,839 --> 00:33:15,480
if I remember correctly, he had eleven cashes last year

662
00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:18,640
and then eleven the year before. He's a cash machine,

663
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:19,960
plays the right games.

664
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: So I played with him last year deep in the main.

665
00:33:23,079 --> 00:33:25,519
We made Day five together. He was, on my direct right,

666
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,119
a very good player, and you could also tell, like

667
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,680
some of the conversations after even following his social media,

668
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,240
he thinks pretty deeply about the game. He cares a lot,

669
00:33:34,279 --> 00:33:37,400
which ultimately that's somebody you want on the team, right. Yeah.

670
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 6: Steven and Stephen played with them in Prague just recently

671
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,039
and was like, yeah, he's he's a crusher, So if

672
00:33:43,039 --> 00:33:45,160
we can get him for a dollar, get.

673
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,319
Speaker 1: Him, and we did. You mentioned being a little bit

674
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:50,079
nervous coming in, understandably so, But now that you've wrapped

675
00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:52,920
things up, how do you feel thrilled?

676
00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:57,119
Speaker 6: I think I'd put our team up against any of

677
00:33:57,119 --> 00:34:01,160
the other teams out there. Obviously it's a crapshoot on

678
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,680
any of these teams who's going to do well and

679
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,920
who's not. But I think our team stacks up right

680
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,039
there with anybody in the room.

681
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: All right, that was Ryan Steiner. I do love his team,

682
00:34:12,039 --> 00:34:15,199
I really really do. So I'm sneaky hoping that that

683
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,199
one does well, although I really have no rooting interest among.

684
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: This whole thing.

685
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: Let's skip around a little bit here, Let's go to

686
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:28,960
So let's skip around to Dan Fleischman's team. So his

687
00:34:29,039 --> 00:34:31,480
team is it's kind of always the same. He's always

688
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:33,559
going to try and get Michael de Grinderman's Rocky. He's

689
00:34:33,559 --> 00:34:35,719
always going to try and get Phil Helmet. Phil Helm

690
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,719
we've walked in the room today, did his thing, you know,

691
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,440
I don't know. An hour or so into the draft

692
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,559
he comes walking in. It was a joke that oh hey,

693
00:34:42,559 --> 00:34:44,559
hey we got to pause the draft, you know, royalties.

694
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:47,119
Here he's on his phone, he's doing his whole video

695
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:48,639
social media Instagram thing.

696
00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:50,159
Speaker 2: He goes over to Fleischmann.

697
00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: He's like, they let they let you get me for

698
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,519
sixty six dollars. Yeah, they did, Phil, But you know

699
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,000
Phil for sixty six is he's a pretty good pick.

700
00:34:58,039 --> 00:35:01,960
You know, he's gives Phil a ton of flack. I

701
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,760
think a lot of people in that room probably don't

702
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:08,119
like the way he plays, but he's the most decorated

703
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:11,079
w CIP player of all time. And say what you want,

704
00:35:11,199 --> 00:35:14,239
Phil Helmuth knows how to get it done on the

705
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,159
w SIP stage. So Phil Hellmuth for sixty six bucks,

706
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,920
I can't hate it. The rest of this team, I

707
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,280
don't really know. Chance Cornick for thirty four feels a

708
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,400
little pricey given the volume. Chris Mormon for six, Paul

709
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,960
Volpi for five. Paul's always an interesting one supreme player.

710
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,440
I just you just never see him and then he

711
00:35:34,519 --> 00:35:36,320
might show up for the WSP. So like again, it's

712
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,440
a it's a volume thing there. Christian Harder for six.

713
00:35:39,599 --> 00:35:41,519
I actually really like that one. Eric said out for

714
00:35:41,519 --> 00:35:44,519
a dollar. I mean Eric's been pretty vocal on the

715
00:35:44,559 --> 00:35:46,039
whole tax thing and how he's not going to be

716
00:35:46,039 --> 00:35:48,679
playing as much, so how much is he playing? And

717
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,880
then valtin Vorniku for a buck as well. On that team,

718
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,679
let's give over to trump Power great name. That's Gary

719
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,960
Benson's team. So he is the most expensive player drafted

720
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:04,039
this year, and that is Sean Deep for one hundred

721
00:36:04,039 --> 00:36:08,679
and thirty three dollars, which I think is too cheap.

722
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,440
I mean there's twenty four teams in my opinion, you

723
00:36:12,519 --> 00:36:16,119
need a horse, you need a stallion, and there is

724
00:36:16,159 --> 00:36:19,400
no one better in this format than Shawn Deep. So

725
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,519
I was a bit surprised when he went for one

726
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:28,360
hundred and thirty three. And I know that David Baker

727
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,719
at one point I think he said won ten for

728
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:34,280
Deep when that bidding was happening, but then stopped or

729
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,760
didn't go much higher or whatever.

730
00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 2: So he was out.

731
00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:39,559
Speaker 1: But like I mean, I would go to one ninety

732
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:42,000
three for Shawn Deep. I would, I honestly would, And

733
00:36:42,039 --> 00:36:44,320
then I would just get dollar players. You know, I'm

734
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,440
pretty confident always in our long list of you know,

735
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,599
the bargain basement guys that we can just pull out

736
00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:49,960
of the bin.

737
00:36:50,079 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, so.

738
00:36:53,159 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that these dollar players are the

739
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,400
ones that I would go with that are part of

740
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,920
this team. From Gary Benson, you know, uh changed Jeff Matdson.

741
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,679
She scooped Malcolm Trainor Yukizu, John Hennicking, and then Gary

742
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,039
Benson drafted himself. He always does this, so he drafts

743
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:09,000
a few of the Australian guys. I think as she

744
00:37:09,079 --> 00:37:13,079
scooped as Australian Malcolm Trainers obviously Australian just won Aussie Millions.

745
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:17,039
He also won the Mystery Millions last year of the

746
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:19,920
year before or something like that. And then Gary Benson

747
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,840
is Australian as well.

748
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

749
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,639
Speaker 1: I don't not a big fan of the rest of

750
00:37:23,639 --> 00:37:25,880
that team, but you got the anchor in Sean Deep,

751
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,280
so that's all right. Who else we got was a

752
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,519
big one. Oh, Texas Mike Michael Monchak. He went to

753
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,199
his own team, Team Monchak aka Gators. They got Brandon

754
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,280
Wilson for fifteen, which I think is an absolutely incredible pick.

755
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,719
They got Texas Mike Michael Monchak for one hundred and

756
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,239
thirty dollars. That is absolutely insane. I'm honestly not sure

757
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:53,719
if it's more insane that Mike Monchak went for one

758
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,840
thirty on the high side or that Shawnde went for

759
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,519
one thirty three, which I think might be too up. Like,

760
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:03,519
I don't, I don't know which one is crazier. We

761
00:38:03,599 --> 00:38:05,960
obviously know that Michael Monchak has put it out there

762
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,199
he's chasing Player of the Year. He's he'll he'll blast

763
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:10,519
everything up to the two fifty.

764
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 2: I just I just.

765
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: Don't know that feels like a lot. His brother's on

766
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,000
the team as well, Tyler Monchak. Tyler was in the

767
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:20,280
room drafting for this squad. Martin Zemani's on the team,

768
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,639
Michael Molnar, Ryan Lang, zach Esti's and Peter Krupa. And

769
00:38:25,679 --> 00:38:28,559
I believe Peter because that says forty two dollars next

770
00:38:28,559 --> 00:38:29,719
to him, So that must have been one of those

771
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,599
things where he's only had one player left to fill

772
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,280
gets him for forty two.

773
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,159
Speaker 2: And that's that.

774
00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: Just bouncing around here trying to figure out, Oh, there

775
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:41,599
was one other team that I liked. It was, oh,

776
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:46,079
Nick Verderramo's team, which is Nick Verdiramo combined with Jake Schwartz.

777
00:38:47,519 --> 00:38:50,880
You know, I just I like the style of the build. Again,

778
00:38:51,199 --> 00:38:55,360
stars and scrubs. They're stars. Nick Shulman for eighty nine dollars.

779
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,159
That is criminally f and cheap. Everyone that is way

780
00:38:58,199 --> 00:39:01,440
too damn cheap. Eighty nine dollars. Eighty nine dollars for

781
00:39:01,519 --> 00:39:06,360
Nick Sewan Nick Sholmans should be one twenty plus stone minimum,

782
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,880
one twenty plus Phil Ivy for eighty I like that

783
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,440
one as well, you know, as long as if Ivy's

784
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,079
going to be there, putting in reasonable volume, which we

785
00:39:16,159 --> 00:39:19,679
have seen recently from him, then you know he's another

786
00:39:19,679 --> 00:39:22,679
great player here. Brad Rubin for twenty one, that's a

787
00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:26,239
good one. Jason Mercier for a dollar. I mean flyer there.

788
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,239
But I have had talks with Jason, and I think,

789
00:39:29,679 --> 00:39:31,679
you know, as his kids are getting a little bit older,

790
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,079
he's going to be taking a little bit more time

791
00:39:34,119 --> 00:39:35,800
to come out to the w SIP. I don't think

792
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,599
he's somebody who's ready at this time to come out

793
00:39:38,639 --> 00:39:40,760
and play a whole summer, you know, but if you

794
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,400
can get ten to fifteen events out of him, you know,

795
00:39:44,639 --> 00:39:47,599
Jason's a stud for buck. I'll take that flyer. Ryan

796
00:39:47,639 --> 00:39:50,000
Reese for three dollars, just a volume thing with him.

797
00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:51,880
Dan Shack for a dollar, you know he'll be there

798
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:57,440
blasting Gabrielle Androddy. I don't know volume for Androtti, you know,

799
00:39:57,679 --> 00:39:59,880
I know he likes to play high stakes cash.

800
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:01,639
Speaker 2: I just don't know.

801
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 1: Andrew Lichtenberger aka Lucky Chewy not a bad flyer there.

802
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,559
So I like this team. I like the build style.

803
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,320
I don't like it as much as Ryan Steiner's State

804
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,280
Kings team. You know, ultimately, with how the players shook out,

805
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,239
but you know, still, in my opinion, the right type.

806
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:24,039
Speaker 2: Of approach to a build.

807
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,039
Speaker 1: Well, let's go over and talk about Jeremy Becker's team

808
00:40:34,679 --> 00:40:38,360
back office. I did an interview with Jeremy afterwards. You'll

809
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,119
hear from him in a minute. But this team is

810
00:40:40,199 --> 00:40:42,960
just absolutely all over the place. So he comes out

811
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,719
and he gets Archer march Rosian first for thirty nine dollars,

812
00:40:46,119 --> 00:40:49,960
which feels high. I asked him about it afterwards, and

813
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,719
he tells me that Archer has a piece of the team,

814
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,840
so he felt like he had to get him. I mean,

815
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,280
that's just that's flat out just not true. I have

816
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,519
had many players who have invested in our teams over

817
00:41:00,559 --> 00:41:02,039
the years that they always tell me, you know, hey,

818
00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:04,519
I'm a great buy. Hey I'm playing this great awesome.

819
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,679
I will try and get you if I think that

820
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,000
it's valuable and it fits into the bill. But I'm

821
00:41:09,039 --> 00:41:11,519
not going to over extend myself and paint myself into

822
00:41:11,559 --> 00:41:14,159
this this corner by doing that, which I think he

823
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,000
might have done a little bit there. Phil Sternheimer for

824
00:41:17,079 --> 00:41:19,960
sixty five dollars is another pick, his second player, his

825
00:41:20,039 --> 00:41:23,400
most expensive player. The problem with this one is that

826
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,119
Sternheimer is leaving when the WSB man events star like

827
00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:30,960
July fourth or July third or whatever, he's leaving, so

828
00:41:31,599 --> 00:41:33,519
he's out. You know, he's only going to be giving

829
00:41:33,519 --> 00:41:36,760
you whatever five weeks. You know, now Sternheimer is a

830
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,159
very good player, and he's going to be playing all

831
00:41:38,199 --> 00:41:40,840
the big buy and stuff, of course, but he kind

832
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,480
of you want that extra two weeks of volume, you know.

833
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,119
Ben You thirty seven, Aaron Coopan thirty four, Jason Daly

834
00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:51,639
to twenty five, Ryut and Nikai six, Danny Wong three,

835
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,159
Ben Tollerene one. I'll tell you about Ben Tollerene in

836
00:41:54,199 --> 00:41:56,039
a second. But the other Ben Ben You on this

837
00:41:56,119 --> 00:41:58,960
team thirty seven dollars. He's always interesting because you know,

838
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,320
he's like a Paul Volpe. You know, you just don't.

839
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:02,119
You don't see this.

840
00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 2: Guy all year.

841
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: So is he gonna play? Is he gonna be there?

842
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:07,880
What's his volume going to be?

843
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: Like?

844
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,199
Speaker 1: We obviously know that if Ben You is there and

845
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,400
if he's playing a big schedule, he's got to be

846
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,199
a great pick. He's a great player. He's had a

847
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,599
ton of success, He's scored a ton of points for

848
00:42:16,679 --> 00:42:18,960
a lot of people, over the years in twenty five

849
00:42:19,039 --> 00:42:21,719
K Fantasy, it's just a volume thing and you know,

850
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,400
where is he? What's he doing? Ben Tolerain is interesting

851
00:42:25,519 --> 00:42:29,719
on this team because so they have to nominate a

852
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,519
player and they have one spot left. So they're kind

853
00:42:32,519 --> 00:42:34,199
of freaking out on what to do. And I was

854
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,599
standing right there. Tim Duckworth is standing right there as well,

855
00:42:36,599 --> 00:42:38,480
because he's doing the whole auctioneer thing. He's like, hey,

856
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:39,280
I need a player from you.

857
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:39,599
Speaker 2: Guys.

858
00:42:39,639 --> 00:42:42,119
Speaker 1: Like they're firing into their group chat with their friends

859
00:42:42,119 --> 00:42:43,159
trying to figure out a player.

860
00:42:43,159 --> 00:42:44,199
Speaker 2: They don't really know what to do.

861
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,639
Speaker 1: Finally, they like they fire out Ben Toleraine's name, which

862
00:42:47,639 --> 00:42:49,480
I don't think is the worst pick in the world

863
00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:52,679
for a dollar, but I don't think that they wanted

864
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,599
to get stuck with him. And you know, Toleraine, at

865
00:42:55,599 --> 00:42:57,119
the end of the day, if he can give you,

866
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,719
let's say, five to eight of the big big buy

867
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,000
and stuff, you know, twenty five K plus fifty K

868
00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:05,280
plus that sort of stuff, I mean, he's the best

869
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,519
in the world when it comes to Nolan, mat Hold

870
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,880
and Plo like, so it can't be the worst thing.

871
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,320
I mean, I've seen worst picks. I mean, people have

872
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,440
literally drafted people that have not shown up for an

873
00:43:16,559 --> 00:43:19,360
entire summer. So but the thing is with Toleraen is

874
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:24,000
that I'm I heard that he's just worried with playing

875
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,760
in the States and the whole new taxle on that

876
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,400
sort of stuff, so he might sit out. You know,

877
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,800
he's someone who's probably made way too much money in

878
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,000
his freaking career that he can just he can he

879
00:43:32,039 --> 00:43:37,199
can sit out. So so that's that. Danny Wong, I guess, okay,

880
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,400
pick if he puts in volume, you know, just question

881
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,119
mark what type of volume we're going to get out

882
00:43:41,159 --> 00:43:44,360
of Danny Wong. But very good player, you know, especially

883
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:45,320
in the mix game stuff.

884
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 2: But enough for me.

885
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: Let's let's hear from Jeremy Becker after the draft was

886
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,800
over all, right, Jeremy Becker, you just wrapped up your

887
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,599
team a little bit of a scramble at the end

888
00:43:54,599 --> 00:43:56,159
there with the final pick of Ben Tolerain.

889
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,199
Speaker 2: How do you how do you feel though with your team?

890
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 5: I think he's one of the I's not the best

891
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,639
player in the world, so I mean a dollar at

892
00:44:02,639 --> 00:44:03,519
the end, we'll take it.

893
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 2: What about the rest of your team?

894
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,599
Speaker 1: Archur march Rose and Phil Sternheimer some heavy hitters there.

895
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:14,119
Speaker 5: I really like our team honestly, especially our first four picks,

896
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,679
and then we're basically going for Gosto.

897
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 2: Here at the end with our cheaper guys. Who's in

898
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,880
the Kai, who's in the kay? That's a great question.

899
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 5: But my partner, who was watching the draft from home

900
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,360
deep diving, said we need this guy and I'm just

901
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,960
trusting him here, So let's go Ryuta.

902
00:44:36,079 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: Can you make a lot of side bets when you

903
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:38,800
do this sort of thing or is it just in

904
00:44:38,639 --> 00:44:39,440
the in the draft?

905
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:40,159
Speaker 2: And that's it.

906
00:44:41,519 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 5: We made a few pre draft, got odds on a

907
00:44:44,519 --> 00:44:47,719
couple because of our last place finish last year, and

908
00:44:48,119 --> 00:44:49,639
we'll be looking a few more now.

909
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't believe people are giving you odds. It's

910
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:53,760
it's a vary incest.

911
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,039
Speaker 5: Come on, yeah, But I mean it's clear some people

912
00:44:57,079 --> 00:44:59,719
are better prepared than others. I know, we really were

913
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,559
going hard this year in the lab. We thought we

914
00:45:01,559 --> 00:45:03,880
were well prepared, but uh, shit kind of hit the

915
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:04,800
fan there at the end.

916
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: Well, listen, as somebody who has done this draft before,

917
00:45:07,519 --> 00:45:11,039
who was prepared honestly for months heading into every draft,

918
00:45:11,159 --> 00:45:13,440
it always hits the fan. So it's always a scramble

919
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,639
at the end, and you can never control what people

920
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:17,559
are doing. So I heard you say, you know, you

921
00:45:17,679 --> 00:45:20,239
ran one hundred simulated teams or whatever, but.

922
00:45:20,159 --> 00:45:21,079
Speaker 2: It always falls apart.

923
00:45:21,639 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 5: We ran over one hundred fake teams we put together

924
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,239
based on prices we thought everyone was going to go for.

925
00:45:28,519 --> 00:45:30,840
And we had two one dollar guys that we were

926
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,960
getting one hundred percent of the time, and we didn't

927
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:34,719
get either of them.

928
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,599
Speaker 2: Who were they? I mean, if they got drafted, it's fine.

929
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,480
They have not been drafted.

930
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,679
Speaker 5: They had, well, then how did you not get them?

931
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: So then so then that what that tells me is

932
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,480
that your final pick of Ben to Lorraine, you were

933
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,800
throwing it out for someone else to bid on him.

934
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,519
Speaker 5: No, we think he's one of, if not the best

935
00:45:55,519 --> 00:45:56,199
player in the world.

936
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,039
Speaker 2: So we're all in.

937
00:45:59,079 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 5: But yeah, I'm a little I'm breathless right now because

938
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,400
things don't always go to play. But you know what,

939
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,559
we got some guys who are going to be playing

940
00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:08,760
in some big field stuff and we're out there that

941
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:09,639
field bonus.

942
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: All right, that's Jeremy Becker. He's got his team. You

943
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,880
can sweat it back office. What's the name.

944
00:46:18,039 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 5: Bowling became a big thing here in Vegas, and someone

945
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:26,960
started making lines on people's bowling skills, and uh, they

946
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,599
were in the back office making the line. So there's

947
00:46:29,639 --> 00:46:31,599
a little homage to them. All right.

948
00:46:31,639 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: Well, best of luck to you with your fantasy quest

949
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:34,519
this summer.

950
00:46:34,679 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 2: Hopefully a little bit better than last place.

951
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully you take some down some of those side bets,

952
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,119
specifically punishing the people who gave you odds, because that

953
00:46:41,199 --> 00:46:45,920
just seems absurd. Yeah, fuck josh K We're coming for him,

954
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,880
all right. So that was Jeremy Becker JBEX. Hopefully we

955
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,519
get to catch up with him a few times throughout

956
00:46:53,559 --> 00:46:55,960
the summer. He told me after we spoke, I was like,

957
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,000
you know, hey, are you getting started tomorrow? Right away

958
00:46:58,039 --> 00:47:00,000
He's like, I haven't even looked at the schedule, Donnie,

959
00:47:00,039 --> 00:47:01,840
I don't know what's going on. I'm just gonna you know,

960
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,679
I'm gonna wake up in the morning, I'm gonna look

961
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,039
at the app I'm gonna see what's what's happening, and

962
00:47:07,079 --> 00:47:08,639
I'm gonna go down and I'm gonna play. I mean,

963
00:47:08,679 --> 00:47:14,119
that's how Jeremy Becker operates. Team Lady Gaga ren Linn

964
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:19,119
is back another team where I really really really love

965
00:47:19,519 --> 00:47:24,320
the bill. This is full on stars and scrubs. This

966
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:29,039
is this just speaks to me URI's Eveleski aka, You're

967
00:47:29,039 --> 00:47:32,199
a nerd guy, ninety bucks, Alex Fox in seventy nine,

968
00:47:32,559 --> 00:47:35,679
Clemens Reuter twenty four, and then the other five players.

969
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,119
We got a dollar, a dollar, a dollar, a dollar,

970
00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:40,320
a dollar. Everyone else is a dollar now. The only

971
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,000
issue that I have with these other players, it's not

972
00:47:42,039 --> 00:47:44,159
really an issue, it's just a me thing. I don't

973
00:47:44,199 --> 00:47:46,480
know who they all are. Renland does this every year.

974
00:47:47,079 --> 00:47:49,840
He picks some Asian players that no one else knows.

975
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,199
He is tapped into that part of the world, that

976
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,480
poker playing community. He knows the volumes these guys are

977
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,400
gonna play, he knows how big they're gonna play. He

978
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,440
has some insight into how good they are. So he's

979
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,199
got all these players. He's got John Lamb, Choi, Anson Sang,

980
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,239
which we've heard of, Anson saying, yes, chong Jiang Yang

981
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,159
have not heard of him. Junabara had some success, I

982
00:48:11,199 --> 00:48:14,360
believe in super higher roleble bubble did I believe. I

983
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,119
wouldn't exactly call out success, but you know, still had

984
00:48:17,159 --> 00:48:20,079
a deep run. June Wang is the other one, So

985
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,000
I just don't know. I'm unfamiliar with some of these players.

986
00:48:23,039 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 2: Now.

987
00:48:24,639 --> 00:48:26,599
Speaker 1: When we won it a couple of years ago, we

988
00:48:26,599 --> 00:48:28,599
were going back and forth at the top of the

989
00:48:28,639 --> 00:48:32,000
leader board with Renland's team with Lady Gaga. I like

990
00:48:32,079 --> 00:48:34,440
Redlands strategy. I think he has it dialed into the

991
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,039
stars and scrubs. So I would be fearful of this squad,

992
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,880
especially because we don't know these players that much, at

993
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,400
least I don't, so, I mean, they could be absolute killers.

994
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,760
They probably are freaking killers. Andrew Brown's team, Brown Dog,

995
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:49,960
this is an example of a team that I just

996
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,239
don't really like. Arthur Morris thirty one, Max Coleman fifty eight,

997
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,760
nik Wa Ganti thirty seven, Scott Bowlman thirty five. I

998
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,400
just don't like that middling type of bill justin Saliva

999
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,280
twenty two. That's just that's just not my my thing.

1000
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:08,000
There was one other pick somewhere. Where is it? Oh,

1001
00:49:08,079 --> 00:49:12,239
Daniel Legrand who won sixteen. So Daniel drafted himself. I

1002
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,880
might as well talk about Daniel's team. This is, you know,

1003
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,719
the draft that he hosts at the end of the day.

1004
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,280
So Daniel drafts himself for one hundred and sixteen. What

1005
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,840
I thought was interesting is somebody threw him out to

1006
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,360
start for fifty and then somebody said one hundred. Now

1007
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,480
he's obviously gonna get up there. This is Daniel Legrann.

1008
00:49:28,639 --> 00:49:32,000
We get it. But when you go from fifty to

1009
00:49:32,079 --> 00:49:34,960
one hundred and he ultimately settles on one sixteen, could

1010
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,079
there have been you know, a couple bucks saved here

1011
00:49:38,159 --> 00:49:40,400
along the way if it didn't jump from fifty to

1012
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,119
one hundred, you know, that would just be my question mark.

1013
00:49:43,159 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 5: There.

1014
00:49:44,159 --> 00:49:47,519
Speaker 1: He drafted himself, he drafted his buddy Josh Aria, he

1015
00:49:47,599 --> 00:49:49,920
drafted Ben Lamb. At that point he was joking that

1016
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,119
those three will take on any other three people in

1017
00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:54,800
the room in golf. But we're not playing golf, Daniel,

1018
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,079
we are playing poker. Dong Chen, that is somebody who

1019
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,880
I believe ren linn throughout. And then Daniel is basically like, well,

1020
00:50:04,519 --> 00:50:07,400
if ren Lin's throwing out these players that I view

1021
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,760
as random Asian players, I'm just gonna bid on them

1022
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,639
because he knows something that I don't. So that's how

1023
00:50:11,679 --> 00:50:14,280
he ended up with Dong Chan. He's got Nick Papillo,

1024
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,800
he's got Ellie Lezro, he's got Brent Kenny's got Jason Kohon.

1025
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:23,000
I kind of like this team lukewarm. I'm lukewarm on

1026
00:50:23,039 --> 00:50:25,599
this team. Okay, that's where I'm at with that team.

1027
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,840
But the one pick that I want to talk about

1028
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:34,639
was where is where is John Rasner? He's on Team

1029
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,960
Norri's team. Now this is another one stars and scrubs.

1030
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,719
Jal Vieira one oh one, John Rasner eighty six. I

1031
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,880
think John Raysner is going to be a steal at

1032
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,119
eighty six dollars. Maybe I'm wrong there. Maybe I'll be

1033
00:50:49,199 --> 00:50:51,039
left with the egg on my face when it's all

1034
00:50:51,079 --> 00:50:53,360
said and done at the end of the summer. But

1035
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,920
the thing with Rasner in recent years is he hasn't

1036
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,599
put in full volume. He's like made some different trips

1037
00:50:58,639 --> 00:51:01,079
out here, that sort of stuff. Last year he made

1038
00:51:01,079 --> 00:51:03,320
his first trip out here, got off the plane, registered

1039
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,480
a tournament, won the damn thing. But this year he

1040
00:51:06,519 --> 00:51:09,000
put out on social media, he rented a house in

1041
00:51:09,039 --> 00:51:11,039
Las Vegas. He's going to be here all summer and

1042
00:51:11,039 --> 00:51:13,639
he's going to be fired. He's someone to me who

1043
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:20,039
is likely one WSP focused. He plays all the games,

1044
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:25,199
he plays a wide variety of buyings. He's a very

1045
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,159
very good player. He's someone who you know, I know,

1046
00:51:28,199 --> 00:51:30,119
it's going to be hard to contend with the people

1047
00:51:30,159 --> 00:51:33,519
who already went to WSP Europe, namely Sean Dee, But

1048
00:51:33,559 --> 00:51:35,800
when it comes to Player of the Year, like I

1049
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,199
could see John Raisner being right up there in the mix.

1050
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,679
So I really do like that pick for eighty six.

1051
00:51:42,159 --> 00:51:44,199
I think he's more of a you know, closer to

1052
00:51:44,199 --> 00:51:46,920
one hundred dollars player if you get the volume, and

1053
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,639
we're getting the volume from him this year. Also on

1054
00:51:49,639 --> 00:51:52,559
this team, Justin Zakia dollar, Michael Norri a dollar, Sean

1055
00:51:52,599 --> 00:51:57,840
Buchanan two dollars, Mike Madison seven dollars, Dara Tarapoor one dollar.

1056
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,880
Dara played, he played some of the mixed stuff at

1057
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:05,119
the Poker Gris studio, you know, made some runs, you know,

1058
00:52:05,119 --> 00:52:07,320
and Jordan Siegel as well. So this is this is

1059
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,079
really I mean, outside of Justin Zachi, this is a

1060
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:15,119
mixed game heavy team here for sure. But I do

1061
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:25,280
like the Stars and Scrubs build. Let's go, I mean,

1062
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,320
let's go to David Baker's team, and then this is

1063
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,960
the last one that we'll just touch on here. So

1064
00:52:30,079 --> 00:52:34,519
David Baker's team, Banana so it was I believe drafting

1065
00:52:34,679 --> 00:52:37,039
was David Baker, of course, and then also Mark Gregorich

1066
00:52:37,079 --> 00:52:39,159
his good friend was alongside him. So they got Scott

1067
00:52:39,199 --> 00:52:42,400
sever for seventy nine. That's their big gun, their second

1068
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,920
most expensive player, Marco Johnson fifty one. Marco Johnson Hill.

1069
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,719
Hear me talk about with odb in the interview in

1070
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,800
a second. But Marco is somebody who I never really know,

1071
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,960
you know, put him in the class of a ben U,

1072
00:52:56,079 --> 00:52:58,880
of a Paul Vopie, Like I don't know the volume

1073
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,559
for these guys because I don't see them really playing

1074
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,519
outside of the World Series of Poker every single year.

1075
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:09,199
That said, much like you know, Daniel looks at ren

1076
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,440
Lynn and when ren Linn throws a player out that

1077
00:53:11,519 --> 00:53:13,679
Daniel doesn't know about, Daniel says, I got to jump

1078
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,800
on that player. I always look at David Baker and say, oh,

1079
00:53:17,159 --> 00:53:19,760
there's certain players I know he's very very good friends

1080
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,440
with that if he's in on them, then that should

1081
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,639
tell you something. And Marco Johnson is one of those players.

1082
00:53:26,159 --> 00:53:28,559
He's also got David Coleman and Danny Tang on his

1083
00:53:28,639 --> 00:53:33,119
team that checks the high roller boxes. Brian Hastins, Brad Owen,

1084
00:53:33,519 --> 00:53:36,960
Lawrence Brand and Iowa Kiara. As you'll hear from David Baker.

1085
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,000
You know, he talked about why he chose those specific players.

1086
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,239
So you know, overall, I kind of like this build.

1087
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,639
I like the top end, the top four sever Coleman, Johnson, Tang,

1088
00:53:47,679 --> 00:53:49,639
you know, the guys that cost all more than one dollar,

1089
00:53:50,079 --> 00:53:53,119
the bottom ones, the one dollar players. I might have picked,

1090
00:53:53,199 --> 00:53:55,440
you know, some different one dollar players. But I get

1091
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,480
the strategy, and you're always gonna need a lot of

1092
00:53:57,559 --> 00:54:00,400
luck when it comes to the one dollar players. Right again,

1093
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,400
those are your lottery tickets. But you know, let's hear

1094
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,159
from David Baker. Let's hear what he has to say.

1095
00:54:05,159 --> 00:54:07,639
He talked a lot about his team, his build, his

1096
00:54:07,679 --> 00:54:11,320
whole philosophy behind fantasy poker. All right, I'm here with

1097
00:54:11,519 --> 00:54:15,119
David odib Baker just wrapped up another edition of the

1098
00:54:15,159 --> 00:54:17,760
twenty five K Fantasy Draft. How are you feeling about

1099
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:18,440
your squad?

1100
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:24,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm extremely happy. I got a lot of the

1101
00:54:24,639 --> 00:54:27,679
guys that were on my target list. And uh yeah,

1102
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,480
I'm curious what you think. I know you're the king

1103
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,320
of Fantasy.

1104
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:32,639
Speaker 6: I don't.

1105
00:54:33,039 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 3: I can't believe he didn't have a team this year.

1106
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,639
But yeah, I mean I'm very happy. I don't know.

1107
00:54:38,679 --> 00:54:40,239
I mean, we can go through the players.

1108
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 1: If you want, but yeah, Scott Severs seventy nine, he's

1109
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,679
your big gun. Second to him, not second that you drafted,

1110
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:46,519
but second in price.

1111
00:54:46,559 --> 00:54:48,079
Speaker 2: Marco Johnson, who you're friends with.

1112
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 1: Marko was always a little bit of an enigma to

1113
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,440
me because I just don't know what he might be

1114
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:54,480
playing every single year.

1115
00:54:54,519 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 2: But I would rely it.

1116
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: If I was in this room drafting, I would say, oh, well,

1117
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,880
if Odb's in, like you got to be in them.

1118
00:55:01,159 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1119
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,639
Speaker 3: So you know, on Marco, he's staying at my house

1120
00:55:04,679 --> 00:55:07,800
this summer and he's playing everything. So you know, Mark

1121
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,840
is one of the best players, and he's one of

1122
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,519
my best friends. He's the one guy I talked poker with,

1123
00:55:13,039 --> 00:55:16,840
so obviously I love the guy and he's you know,

1124
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,880
I respect his game, and yeah, so I mean I'm

1125
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,679
thrilled obviously to Marco on my team. He's just a

1126
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,239
consistent producer. I mean, he's like thirteenth on the all

1127
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,400
time points list and he didn't even play like several

1128
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:34,719
years that much because of tournaments. Sever he was one

1129
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,920
of one of the people in our a bucket, and

1130
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,519
when all the A buckets started to go off, we

1131
00:55:42,519 --> 00:55:45,280
were like I was, I was like, we're fine, We're fine,

1132
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,599
We're gonna get Sever, We're gonna get Sever. And then

1133
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,199
all the guys went off that we didn't like quite

1134
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,679
as much as Sever, so I didn't want to like

1135
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,960
bid on them because I just wanted to get Sever.

1136
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,840
I think it's a big redemption year for him, and

1137
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,599
we were prepared to spend over one hundred and getting

1138
00:56:00,679 --> 00:56:02,719
him for seventy nine, which I think was kind of

1139
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:07,039
insane considering I think he was the last eightier player.

1140
00:56:07,639 --> 00:56:09,400
So yeah, thrilled to have him.

1141
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,599
Speaker 1: Obviously, you got David Coleman, high roller player, he's been

1142
00:56:13,639 --> 00:56:15,559
on fire lately. You got Danny Tang as well, another

1143
00:56:15,639 --> 00:56:16,719
high roller player coming off.

1144
00:56:16,679 --> 00:56:17,559
Speaker 2: A huge win at Tradon.

1145
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: I want to specifically ask you about Brian Hastens because

1146
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,840
he's someone who years ago was like almost guaranteed a

1147
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,039
bracelet a year, and for whatever reason, has fallen off

1148
00:56:28,079 --> 00:56:30,360
of the radar of the people in the draft room.

1149
00:56:30,559 --> 00:56:34,800
You know, I don't know why, but Stinger's a crusher, right, Yeah.

1150
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 3: I mean the thing that's scary about Brian is the

1151
00:56:38,039 --> 00:56:41,320
fact that he tweeted out that he wasn't playing some

1152
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,360
of the bigger events, that he was going to play

1153
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,480
the one K to three K stuff. But one thing

1154
00:56:46,519 --> 00:56:48,400
I know about the series is there's people who love

1155
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,800
it and there's people who you can just count on

1156
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,800
are always going to play more than they say. And look,

1157
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,440
I'm welling to gamble on talent. Obviously, I wish that

1158
00:56:58,559 --> 00:57:03,079
he had a bigger edgile planned, but look, when you're

1159
00:57:03,119 --> 00:57:07,360
as talented as Brian, you know, I'm sure that he'll

1160
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,760
find his way into enough big events and hopefully he

1161
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,039
just gets off to a good start and plays early.

1162
00:57:13,079 --> 00:57:15,719
And you know, he's the type of guy that really

1163
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,760
can win and we all know that the points are

1164
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,519
up top. And he's also if he's going to play

1165
00:57:20,519 --> 00:57:22,679
the smaller events, he has like opportunities. He at field Bonus,

1166
00:57:22,679 --> 00:57:24,480
he plays an a lemon, he plays mits, and he

1167
00:57:24,519 --> 00:57:27,199
wins when he plays. So yeah, I mean, I'm happy

1168
00:57:27,199 --> 00:57:29,960
to get I'm happy to get Hastings. He wasn't initially

1169
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,880
on the target list just because of the schedule, but

1170
00:57:34,159 --> 00:57:35,320
you know, if we were going to be able to

1171
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,679
get him for single digits, then that was fine. And

1172
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,639
obviously get him for dollars more than good. So yeah,

1173
00:57:41,679 --> 00:57:44,480
I mean I'm a couple of the guys that we

1174
00:57:44,559 --> 00:57:48,280
got at the end, Lawrence, Brant and Noya. I think

1175
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:52,039
if people they are kind of people that don't really

1176
00:57:52,119 --> 00:57:53,639
hang out with a lot of the people that are

1177
00:57:53,679 --> 00:57:56,159
in this room, so people are scared.

1178
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,239
Speaker 2: To draft him.

1179
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 3: You know, I got information on both that they playing,

1180
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,599
and I mean Lawrence is an absolute killer and Noyo

1181
00:58:04,639 --> 00:58:06,880
when he plays, he's a killer. And he told me

1182
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,519
he was playing all the ten cases. So yeah, I'm

1183
00:58:10,519 --> 00:58:13,440
excited to have him and Brad Owen. Look, we know

1184
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,559
that he's good in No Limit and he's just getting

1185
00:58:15,599 --> 00:58:18,519
better in Mix and he's super focused on having a

1186
00:58:18,599 --> 00:58:21,440
good series. So I've been hanging out with him a

1187
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,440
little bit. He's been playing my No Limit cash game

1188
00:58:23,519 --> 00:58:26,039
and we've been talking a lot, and I think he's

1189
00:58:26,199 --> 00:58:28,920
ready to prove that he belongs. So I'm willing to

1190
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,199
gamble for a dollar that he you know, that he

1191
00:58:32,199 --> 00:58:32,960
can make the switch.

1192
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 2: Any regret having twenty eight dollars left over.

1193
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:38,679
Speaker 3: I always have money left because the way that I

1194
00:58:38,719 --> 00:58:41,719
play it is I have this group of people that

1195
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,079
I want and my whole goal is to get more

1196
00:58:44,159 --> 00:58:46,320
money than everybody else at the end of the draft,

1197
00:58:46,519 --> 00:58:48,880
so that I can hand pick my last three selections.

1198
00:58:49,159 --> 00:58:52,920
So I'm totally fine with it because I would have

1199
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,280
been willing to go twenty on Lawrence Brant, I would

1200
00:58:55,280 --> 00:59:00,320
have been willing to go ten on Owen. So yes,

1201
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,000
I ended up with the money, but if they would

1202
00:59:02,039 --> 00:59:05,280
have just come out earlier, then once people saw me

1203
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,320
bidding on Lauren Sprans, he would have gone for fifteen

1204
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:11,000
or twenty anyway, So I think it's totally fine. It's

1205
00:59:11,039 --> 00:59:14,280
the way that I play. I understand that, like having

1206
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,400
the hammer at the end of the draft is worth something.

1207
00:59:16,559 --> 00:59:19,199
Rend and Bruski was a guy I really wanted, and

1208
00:59:19,559 --> 00:59:21,760
so I wanted to keep the hammer for him, but

1209
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,760
unfortunately there was one team who had more, so they

1210
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,119
had the hammer, but I was willing to spend my

1211
00:59:27,119 --> 00:59:29,719
thirty dollars on him. So that was kind of the plan,

1212
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,679
is to get everybody to get the roster spots filled

1213
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,800
or get below my max bid so that I could

1214
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:41,199
max out on Rennon or Lawrence Brandt or there was

1215
00:59:41,239 --> 00:59:43,840
one other guy that I really liked to I can't

1216
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,960
remember that we'd ended up not getting We also Ariel

1217
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,320
Montel was another guy that we were kind of looking at.

1218
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,400
Nicholas Milburn. That's another one. You guys had him last year.

1219
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,239
He was at sixteen, so I mean, we could have

1220
00:59:56,239 --> 00:59:59,599
easily fit him in and gotten him. But I think

1221
00:59:59,639 --> 01:00:01,960
if we would have done that, it gives a really

1222
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,599
good team in the Dinkers the Hammer over us. And

1223
01:00:04,679 --> 01:00:08,159
once we start throwing out Laurence Brant and Nooya and

1224
01:00:08,239 --> 01:00:10,320
people like that, they're just gonna top us on all

1225
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,360
of them because they know that, like if we're throwing

1226
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,920
them out. So I kind of sacrificed Milgram to be

1227
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,119
able to get the other three. If Laurence, Brant or

1228
01:00:19,239 --> 01:00:21,639
Noya would have come out first, I would have sacrificed

1229
01:00:21,719 --> 01:00:23,039
one of them to get the other three.

1230
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like a three for one thing.

1231
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,639
Speaker 3: That's kind of how I think about it is if

1232
01:00:26,719 --> 01:00:28,599
I can just have the Hammer, I can get three

1233
01:00:28,639 --> 01:00:31,199
guys I want, rather than than spending it online.

1234
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:32,039
Speaker 2: So that's kind of the.

1235
01:00:32,039 --> 01:00:34,079
Speaker 3: Way I approach it. I know that it looks funny

1236
01:00:34,119 --> 01:00:35,960
that we have twenty eight dollars left, and it's like, oh, well,

1237
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,559
you could have taken hoste things and that, and like

1238
01:00:37,559 --> 01:00:39,880
a thirty dollars guy, But that's not really how it works,

1239
01:00:40,039 --> 01:00:42,239
because like you're just not going to get your bottom guys.

1240
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,679
If you have a dollar left, you're left just throwing

1241
01:00:44,719 --> 01:00:47,199
out guys and then seeing if anybody bits a dollar

1242
01:00:47,239 --> 01:00:49,800
on them. And it's like Ben Tullohan, great player, but

1243
01:00:50,159 --> 01:00:52,280
like I don't really want a guy who's playing like

1244
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,320
five or six events, like he only really plays the

1245
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,280
high rollers and that you know, when you throw out

1246
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,599
a guy like that, then you're kind of at the mercy.

1247
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:03,639
So Danny Wong was another one that we could have taken.

1248
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,280
I love Danny, he's a good friend of mine, but

1249
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,079
kind of didn't want to get into bidding war again.

1250
01:01:09,559 --> 01:01:11,920
So that's just how I play the game. It's not

1251
01:01:12,079 --> 01:01:15,840
necessarily right or wrong, but I don't like to be

1252
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:17,880
at the mercy of the dollar at the end. I

1253
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,639
want to I want to be able to put the

1254
01:01:19,679 --> 01:01:22,199
hammer out when people you know, the people who had

1255
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,400
who had money left were Phil Sternheimer very smart, Josh

1256
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,679
Kay very smart. Like these are the guys who continually

1257
01:01:28,719 --> 01:01:30,360
win in this thing, so I want to be able

1258
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,599
to top them when the best values come out.

1259
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: Tomorrow the world tis the poker starts you love it,

1260
01:01:36,079 --> 01:01:37,039
maybe more than anyone.

1261
01:01:37,199 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 2: Can you believe it's here for another year.

1262
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,239
Speaker 3: It's weird. This one kind of like snuck up on me,

1263
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:45,719
and I don't know, it felt like, yeah, it's it

1264
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,360
didn't didn't feel like it's here.

1265
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, I'm excited.

1266
01:01:49,079 --> 01:01:54,119
Speaker 3: Tomorrow I'm gonna play the five K No Limit and yeah,

1267
01:01:54,159 --> 01:01:55,719
I mean this year, I'm gonna be playing a little

1268
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,440
bit more No Limit. Obviously, I'll play all the mixed

1269
01:01:59,519 --> 01:02:01,719
and you know, I'm bracelet hunting and all that stuff,

1270
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:07,639
but I'm going to try to prioritize some No Limit

1271
01:02:07,679 --> 01:02:10,880
stuff over the mix. But you know, when we're in

1272
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,960
there and I'm starting at one hundred person field and mix,

1273
01:02:13,119 --> 01:02:15,800
or I could go register my fourteenth bullet of the

1274
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,400
Milling Maker, you know, I'll probably end up just just

1275
01:02:18,639 --> 01:02:22,280
putting the ten nins in the next But yeah, I mean,

1276
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,800
I love it. I love to compete, and I love

1277
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,679
everything that does. I love what my Fantasy League has

1278
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:34,000
brought to the overall experience. You know, I'm getting NonStop

1279
01:02:34,079 --> 01:02:36,440
techs add me as bonus players, like one hundred and

1280
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:37,960
fifty freaking bonus players this year.

1281
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,239
Speaker 2: So yeah, I love it.

1282
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 3: You love it, and you know, I'm looking forward to

1283
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,480
listening to you and Tim talk talk poker every day.

1284
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 6: On the on the way.

1285
01:02:48,079 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: Last question here a pretty simple one. How many teams

1286
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,000
in ODB Fantasy this year?

1287
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm hoping we I'm hoping we get a thousand,

1288
01:02:58,039 --> 01:03:00,199
but I don't know. I feel like that's probably a

1289
01:03:00,239 --> 01:03:03,039
little ambitious. I think last year we had eight seventy,

1290
01:03:03,559 --> 01:03:07,960
so I'll take the over on that. But I think

1291
01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:12,719
we've grown every year for ten straight. So if we

1292
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,440
don't grow, I'm not going to consider a failure. I

1293
01:03:15,519 --> 01:03:17,880
think like at some point like it has to like

1294
01:03:18,239 --> 01:03:19,199
make a little tickdown.

1295
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

1296
01:03:20,559 --> 01:03:22,719
Speaker 3: It feels like there's as high interest as ever. So

1297
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,519
I mean I'll predict that, you know, we get eight eighty,

1298
01:03:26,599 --> 01:03:27,920
which will be a record.

1299
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:34,119
Speaker 1: And that was the man himself o dB. Arguably nobody

1300
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:38,800
loves it more than David O dB Baker, and that's

1301
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:42,239
going to do it for the twenty five K Fantasy Draft.

1302
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,360
I didn't hit on every team. I know, I started

1303
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,599
kind of going through, you know, a lot of the

1304
01:03:46,639 --> 01:03:48,760
teams at the start. You know what I liked, what

1305
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,280
I didn't like. You know, there's some some interesting teams

1306
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,480
out there, some interesting bills. There's there's a lot of

1307
01:03:53,599 --> 01:03:57,400
names on here that obviously there's a lot of names

1308
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,639
that I recognize that we all recognize, but there's also

1309
01:03:59,639 --> 01:04:02,599
a lot of that I don't recognize at all, And

1310
01:04:02,639 --> 01:04:05,679
it'll be interesting to see what sort of results these

1311
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,760
people put up. One, but also two, you know, if

1312
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,679
you're seeing them every single day. For example, you look

1313
01:04:11,719 --> 01:04:14,679
at Andrew Brown's team and I see, I see ray Fishman,

1314
01:04:15,519 --> 01:04:17,440
that might as well be create a player for all

1315
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,960
I know, no disrespect to mister Fisherman out there, but

1316
01:04:21,039 --> 01:04:24,480
I don't know who this is and what type of volume.

1317
01:04:24,599 --> 01:04:27,000
So when we're walking around the first week and we

1318
01:04:27,079 --> 01:04:29,840
finally get eyes on ray Fishman, you know, you see somebody,

1319
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:32,039
then we're going to see every single day, because if

1320
01:04:32,079 --> 01:04:33,920
you don't see them every single day, like that's an

1321
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:35,840
issue to me when you're building out teams. We had

1322
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,519
a bunch of players last year, or a few players

1323
01:04:37,599 --> 01:04:39,679
last year that they didn't put in the volume that

1324
01:04:40,239 --> 01:04:42,639
we had anticipated that they would put in. Ultimately, that

1325
01:04:42,679 --> 01:04:45,199
bitteress th in the ass. So you know, we'll see,

1326
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,960
h we'll see how it goes, but it's gonna be

1327
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,320
a fun summer. As I said at the top of

1328
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,719
the show, you can get all the information as it

1329
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,320
relates to twenty five K fantasy over all on twenty

1330
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,039
five k fantasy dot com. If you are on x

1331
01:04:58,159 --> 01:05:01,719
then I would highly encourage you to follow at twenty

1332
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,760
five K Fantasy. We'll talk about it on this podcast

1333
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,119
every so often. Maybe not every single day, but you know,

1334
01:05:08,199 --> 01:05:10,320
a few times a week as we go throughout the summer.

1335
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,559
The big thing though, the summer is here, it is

1336
01:05:15,039 --> 01:05:19,679
WSOP season. On Tuesday, May twenty sixth is when everything

1337
01:05:20,119 --> 01:05:24,000
kicks off. I believe it starts with the mini Mystery Millions,

1338
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,679
which is gonna be an absolute freaking gong show. Five

1339
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,159
hundred and fifty dollars buy in you know, you know

1340
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,360
mystery bounty format, Like that's just gonna be absolutely freaking wild.

1341
01:05:33,039 --> 01:05:35,800
Hopefully you guys hear from me just about every single day.

1342
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,599
Hopefully I have some new hats for you this year.

1343
01:05:38,679 --> 01:05:40,960
I'm gonna try and make that happen as well as always,

1344
01:05:41,039 --> 01:05:45,480
please do like, subscribe, rate, review, leave comments, whatever you're

1345
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,119
gonna do. I know this podcast is audio only, but

1346
01:05:48,239 --> 01:05:52,039
the plan is to do video podcasts as well. You'll

1347
01:05:52,079 --> 01:05:55,679
be able to find those on the Poker Go YouTube channel,

1348
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,280
in addition to the audio podcast wherever you listen to

1349
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:03,840
your podcast. Enough rambling from me, though it's approaching midnight,

1350
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,800
I want to get some sleep because tomorrow, on Tuesday,

1351
01:06:07,119 --> 01:06:08,960
