2013 World Series Of Poker Preview
Posted by Poker Videos on May 13th, 2013We’re headed toward the 2013 World Series of Poker and I still have a sour taste in my mouth from Black Friday. Yes, I’m that stubborn! However, it’s time to move on! Governments are going to govern and corrupt politicians are going to take bribes by people who want to control online poker. This is a simple fact of life I must face before watching the 2013 World Series of Poker on ESPN. In the past, I’ve been pretty good at predicting final tables as the other tournaments finish and I can see who’s playing hot or running hot. This time, I’m going to evaluate who is going to do well during the whole 2013 WSOP by their play in cash games and by their tournament play leading up to this event. I will also write about some unknown players who are likely to breakout.

First off, Phil Ivey is a threat to win any tournament he enters. He just came off a deep run in the Auzzie Millions which he loves so much and a 1st place in a mixed event. Phil is not a specialist or a one trick pony, therefore, he can take down any type of mixed poker event or variation of poker. Recently, Phil just filed a lawsuit to get 12 million in winnings withheld from him in a London Casino. Phil Hellmuth is often made fun of by high rollers for his cash play, yet he continues to dominate Holdem tournaments. He avoids getting all of his chips in and slowly gains huge chip leads. He gets huge reads on people and should not be underestimated. Hellmuth is my pick in any holdem event. Daniel Negreanu is leading the 2013 WSOP POY with close to 2 times the amount of points as the person in second place. Daniel was recently ridiculed for his membership in Choices Las Vegas which is a spin off of Landmark Forum. Look for Jonathan Karamalikis screen name xMONSTERxDONGx to make an impact at this years 2013 WSOP. He is the top player from Australia and will likely take a bracelet. Calvin Anderson aka Cal42688 is ranked the number one online poker player in the world but I’m skeptical this will be his breakout performance in live poker. Instead, look for Andrew Lichtenberger screen name Luckychewy to do big things this year. I really like his chances for a main event as well. In addition to playing poker, I rank Andrew as one of the best poker commentators. Another poker pro to look out for is Ben Sulsky screen name Sauce1234. He just took Viktor Blom screen name Isildur1 for 1.4 million in Pot Limit Omaha in one night. Undoubtedly, Chris Moorman screen name Moorman1 will make a big splash. Chris is a consistent online poker player and the all time leader in online poker cashes. If Matt Kay screen name ch0ppy or Sebastian Sikorski screen name p0cket00 make it to the WSOP, look for deep runs! Marvin Rettenmaier leads the Bluff Magazine poker rankings and was real hot in 2012. This German might march over everyone this year and he’s a sick live player to boot. Dimitar Danchev is a threat to the high roller events as is Sam Trickett. Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Ivey, Viktor Blom, Patrik Antonius, and Daniel Negreanu are the most likely to finish the High Roller events.
I’ve been quite cynical about poker, since Black Friday and with good reason. Online poker can still be played in Europe via online poker bonus code. Online poker is here to stay and the player pools are going to get bigger and bigger with the social poker scene. I predict the clashes among live and online poker players will be bigger as the two sides have fused together in recent years. Before 2011, online poker players had very little to zero live experience. Now, they have been grinding in casinos since black Friday. They are seasoned live players with real world tell spotting and real world patience. Gone are the days of the “Texas Rounders” and hustlers. The online poker players are now well rounded pros set to take over the world World Series Of Poker circuit.
