Even on those selections of hands, I think that we can agree that the right players got picked.
The chosen three are all tremendous players and thoroughly deserve their selection.
Its so hard to chose 5 specific hands guys that show off ur skills, it really is - And sending in a good lay down, is almost impossible, as when you fold, the other fella mucks, so u dont know if its a good lay down or not! - Gud way to find out I spose but it could look embarassing - N ur not gunna risk that! - Also looking thru ur HH is hard if u play alot.
But the fella picking the players will have looked through hundreds of hands from the players, not just 1 or 2.
Just a note when it goes to the section of the show where the emails are read out, the presenters seem to think its brilliant that the past picks are emailing in to support the nominated 10 players, an example of good community spirit? lol C'mon as if, U rekon if these guys hadn't had a look in they wud still be doing this?
They aint daft they know its a forum vote, its good advertising!!
I noticed a couple of previously picked players were on the MC tables last night, again, trying to impress the community with their play, playing outside of their normal game. Im sure one was an MTT specialist, who Ive neva seen at NL50, n the other plays higher than the MC table which was being covered, but again, its common sense and good tactical stuff in the long term.

100% David made the correct decisions on the final 3, but im a bit disapointed at some of those getting into the final 10 when there are far better players battling so hard to get a place.
Maybe they didn't want to pick you and thought if they showed this hand, it would give them a more difficult decision to make when everyone has seen the excellent lay down, i always thought it was the players choice what 2 hands were shown, if it is not, then it wreaks of manipulation to make certain players seem better. I was watching your hands by the way, and when i saw your name appear i thought, good on yer, but to be honest the hands that were shown were very underwhelming so to speak, now i know it wasn't your fault, all i can say is unlucky!!
They are not picking 1 from each section.
They are showing cash games specialists hands from sit and go hand histories and vice versa.
Last part here is not an insult i think ben is a very good player,i didn't analyze his play but the presenter
didn't like the way he played 2 out of 3 of his hands 1 of them been in phils selection then picks him?
I know ben would of still got through on another show and deserves to and if you are reading it m8
and ur honest i bet you thought you were not grtting picked that night.
Is it me or did anyone else notice this?
Good luck to all of em but i agree with others who say the community vote is a joke and notice how all the players who never posted often are all of a sudden flooding the forums with posts.
Good luck at the tables all.
U making a video today then Steve?
Didnt realise ud made the top ten, gd stuff. I found it funnny last night when ur name popped up after watching ur vids yest. - And he was sat wi 4 quid to ur 30 odd, haha, I wunt av even bothered playing it.
Get that video sorted.

My truthful thoughts are - i was not bowled over by some of players choice of hand selections and when Phil and Thegrowler was selcted for Stts my heart sank a little as i thought i didn't make the 10 let alone the top three. When i was added to the last catergory i honestly thought i would have had a good chance at the top three now as Dave wouldn't have put me where a high stakes player would have been without reason.
My hand where phil bluffs me i thought was not all that bad...yes i may have flopped an open ender but no more money went in by me whatever so i didn't really lose more chips - if i bet out or called after the flop then i would agree.
Maybe two of the three hands were not so great but david has the final say and he must think he can work with me on improving. I'll say it now i really will be trying to win this thing as thats the way i am - but even if dave improves my game by the smallest of margins i'll consider it a sucess.
And for you people still saying it favours the high stakes players and somehow we know were beiong selected. You are 100% wrong. 70% of the final 18 may be "high stakes" players on this site but that because we have a slightly better concept of the game and thiought process into hands, the przies also afftect the mentors to. Hand on heart put your self in the the mentors position - which 6 would you pick knowing you could potentially make a tidy sum from 10% of thier winnings? And ased on last nights top 10 i think he made the right choice.
