Five Easy 2012 WSOP Predictions Revisited
Back in May, I made Five Easy 2012 WSOP
Predictions[http://www. pokerjunkie. com/five-easy-2012-wsop-predictions]
just prior to the 2012 World Series of Poker kicking off. With the Main Event now on hiatus until October, I figured
it was time to revisit those picks and see whether I hit the
mark.

Do Weed and Booze Help Poker Players Play Better?
I just finished watching Allen Kessler's interview with
QuadJacks at the 2012 World Series of Poker about poker
players who smoke weed during the breaks of poker
tournaments. The video is at the bottom of this post for
those that haven't seen it yet. I must admit that I totally side with Allen on this matter
and it does indeed boggle my mind that many young poker
players go out of their way to smoke weed on breaks. I know some of you think that it helps you play better, but
as Allen says, it does not.

Phil Hellmuth Wins Bracelet #12 and the Fall of #BadJuju
Phil Hellmuth finally took down his 12th WSOP bracelet last
night by winning the $2,500 Razz Event. Â This was going
down while the "Tiger Woods of Poker", Phil Ivey, was going
after his 9th over in the $10k PL Hold'em Event. In the end, Hellmuth continued to add to his career total
while Ivey just missed out. Â Thinking about it, if Ivey
is the "Tiger Woods of Poker", wouldn't that make Hellmuth
Jack Nicklaus?
Think about it.

Bracelet or Millions? Dwan is Taking the Money
Every year at the WSOP Main Event, the question is always
asked whether you would rather have the money or the WSOP
bracelet. Until recent years, the answer was largely "I want
the bracelet. " Now it is shifting more to the "give me the
$8 Million. "
So far at this year's WSOP, two faces that have not been
seen at the tables are Tom Dwan and Doyle Brunson.

Women Being Told to Piss Off Over WSOP Bathroom Situation
A little subdrama that has been going on at the 2012 WSOP
over the first couple of days has been the bathroom
situation. Essentially, what has happened is that the men have more
bathrooms than the ladies. On Day 1 both main hallway bathrooms near the Pavilion Room
were designated as men's bathrooms and the ladies had to
hoof it down to the dealer's entrance in order to use the
restroom. On Day 2 it appeared that one of those bathrooms at the
dealer's entrance got changed to a men's room and that out
of six potential restrooms, women only have two now and none
in the tournament area.

2012 WSOP Kicks Off and WSOP TD Gets Rid of Extra Baggage
The 2012 World Series of Poker kicked off earlier today with
the Casino Employees Event. This will be the slowest day at
the WSOP for a while as it is the only event running today,
meaning that tomorrow is when the Rio will start to get a
little crazy. So far, it appears that the numbers for the event will be a
bit down. Right now there are around 733 players registered
for the event and as such will have a decent drop off from
the 850 players from last year.

WSOP Now Allowing You to Speak and Celebrate in Moderation
Some of you that watched the live coverage of the 2011 WSOP
Main Event may remember Daniel Negreanu throwing a mild
tantrum when he wasn't allowed to talk during a hand at the
featured table. When this went down, I voiced my opinion that I would not be
surprised to see that rule changed before the 2012 WSOP. I wish I had put some money on that.
