World Poker Cup standings day 4: CANADA up by 16 pts, RACE FOR 2ND PLACE is on!

**SBR Lou** · 03-19-12, 08:16 PM

Gotta wonder if some of the Americans are hoping RonPaul2008 plays this last tourney out for D2bets. Like one of those many early season NFL "must win" games.

**SBR Lou** · 03-19-12, 09:22 PM

To round out the day:

EUR: 11 points
Canada: 8 points
World: 7 points
USA: 4 points

Best of luck tomorrow folks!

**BigDaddy** · 03-19-12, 09:23 PM

come on USA!!!

As a suggestion how about evening out the field a bit on the world poker cup. Have everyone choose which they want to represent before teh whole qualifier start? Should even out the field a bit.. Just that your ip is from the U.S doesn't mean you want to represent the U.S.. you can be from Europe but in the U.S and vice versa..

You're about 3 months late with this suggestion.

As you should be.

John, Lou.
Just idea for the future.
But play a few games on Sat with deeper stacks. Two team members to a table. 8 guys total.
Let the team mates work the table.
Big swing in points too to mix things more up at the end.

**Extra Innings** · 03-20-12, 12:52 AM

Utterly speechless...not a bad thing

Europe v Canadian #1 seeds coming up in 8pm.

Against #10s for USA and World

Then World #1, Canada #2, Europe #3 and USA #6 to end day 1.

lol I really could care less if I was the 10000000th American seed I would take that matchup all day. Almasters played fine no disrespect to him is meant in this post, and none to nomeansno either I am just saying the seeding is partially irrelevant for the USA team IMO

**Wulfman14** · 03-20-12, 01:40 AM

this is like deja vu from last year. with the damn euros getting a big lead and the canucks and world team fighting it out for second. thank the stars the rest of my team members have come through cuz i have done shit for my team on the first day. but who the fuk knew mrmarket would hit 2 pair on the turn otherwise i was well in command of winning my time slot. thats poker though.

**Duff85** · 03-20-12, 03:32 AM

Been swept up in World Cup fever all day. Checked the forum on my phone twice to get updated on our progress.

Sure, sure. You guys just keeping thinking like that, and telling us who deserves respect from last place. ;-)

Weird how those games went exactly by the seedings though huh?! Must have been a fluke.

**Extra Innings** · 03-20-12, 04:54 AM

What we see here folks is the World of Poker's Best.

Now thats an interesting idea! We purposely made it so there was just one player per region so there would not be any collusion. But what if we said collusion was ok in a team format for just one of the days? It might be fun. We will talk it over down the road.

Lou I smell instant Replay from last year RYDER CUP

This is what happens when we reward quantity over quality.....these aren't America's best players, they were the ones who could play everyday of every week.

This is what happens when you are ignorant and don't understand variance. Besides, you really think your nit style will work in a 4man game? This is far from over but I would gladly take 5 of those guys against any 5 that didn't make it.

That's not to say there aren't 5 good players that didn't make it, because there are, I just hope you aren't including yourself in the list of "quality"

The day of the comeback!

Missed my all-in flush draw yesterday and 0-2 on coin flips today... Lou I expect a full investigation of the RNG before I play tomorrow as it is common knowledge that those are my never lose situations on SBR poker...
