Ok I agree with you in that respect...

No one on this board, that I know of, has played poker with the people listed in the poll (I could be wrong.) and thus would have no way of KNOWING who actually has the skills and who does not, and therefore have no foundation on which to base their votes.
It's just a fun poll to waive ones opinion on how it might turn out...
I'm not sure I can deal with all this pre game hype...

Here's what will happen (don't take these personal, just think of it as a "celebrity roast")
BTE won't win because he is too short to see his cards (unless maybe he gets a booster seat).
Dr. Solar won't win because he'll spend too much time counseling everyone on their love lives and showing off cell phone video of himself in PG-13 threesomes.
Blood of Heroes won't win because he will arrive at the game and find out he was erroneously registered under BloodofHeroes.
Mota won't win because he will spend the entire evening trying to argue that "two pairs beats a full house because Shooter said so."
Elveen won't win because he will spend too much time showing everybody the giant vein on his balls to concentrate on the game.
Rufusharley won't win because he won't show up ... his motorcycle will run out of gas in the desert on the way to California.
Which leaves ZWH, who will win because he will debate relentlessly on every hand about why his hand is the winning hand. After a couple of hours everyone will give up and he will have all the chips.

It was 1993 or 1994, my mom, my brother and I chose to fly to Tijuana instead of directly to San Diego for the con because it was cheaper.
We took a taxi from the airport to the border and went in with our passports and visas in hand ready to go through the process.
What ended up happening was that the border cops in charge of reviewing the papers just waved us right in without checking anything.
