Why would you root for Ivey ? He is obviously more involved in FT than we expected and is making all kinds of attempts to make us believe he is not. He does not care about our funds, he cares about his reputation. Don't get me started about Hellmuth.. He just happened to leave UB five months before BF ???? (No inside info known there) When and if the U.S can get OP together we will have new poker celebs emerge that have skill and love for the game. Pokernews makes it look like these tools are Gods gift to poker..Why keep praising the guys that promote things they know are bad ?

1. Galen Hall Wins the 2012 PCA $100,000 Super High Roller .. Not a chance. It will be won by Shannon Shorr.
2. A PokerStars Team Pro Wins the 2012 PCA Main Event ... Not this either.
3. Erik Seidel Wins Less Than $500,000 in Tournament Earnings ... Eric will probably BEAT 2011 with the One Drop win.

5. Jason Mercier Wins a World Poker Tour Main Event, Completing the Triple Crown ... This is for sure a Yes.
6. Pius Heinz Breaks Main Event Champion Trend ... Absolutely yes but add a WPT title in there for Pius in 2012.

8. Andy Beal Cashes in the Big One for One Drop ... top five
9. The WSOPE Main Event Attracts over 1,000 Entrants ... It will be over 1,100 entrants.
10. Isaac Baron Wins Over $1 Million in Tournament Earnings ... Possible ... sort of 50-50.
11. A Federal Online Poker Bill is Passed in the United States ... Talk about dreaming in colour ... in an election year there is ZERO chance a Federal Online Poker Bill can be passed. Maybe 2013 and even then ...

Add this prediction: An unusually high number of PocketFive players will cash in live events next year.
