STYLINHAWYN 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 This Thorrson guy is pissing me off. Runner-runner to knock out someone else. He is running too good.hes reraising and calling all-ins worth over 7,000 in chips with QTo... Thorsson Doubles Up His OpponentSeat 6 raises from middle position to $800 and is re-raised by William Thorsson to $2,400. Seat 1 on the button pushes all-in for $5,375 total. Seat 6 folds and Thorsson calls. Thorsson flips over Qclub10diamond, seat 1 KspadeKheart. The board comes QdiamondJspade2club7spade4club and Thorsson doubles up his opponent. i say there is no way that this guy makes it past day 2... maybe even be out by the end of day 1 with plays like this Link to post Share on other sites

Autologic 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 85,800 actually...nice.... made $100 bucks, bet my buddy you would finish above 50K chips on day one.Think you can get over 180K on day 2? I might bet him double or nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
Glitch29 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 nice.... made $100 bucks, bet my buddy you would finish above 50K chips on day one.Think you can get over 180K on day 2? I might bet him double or nothing. Both of those are sucker bets at even odds. You needed at least 6:1 on Danny Boy having 50K+ to make it a sane bet, and probably 5:2 or so if you're betting on him having 180K+ by the end of day 2. Don't get me wrong - I'm a huge believer in DN's skills - there are just too many ways to lose a bet like that. Looking at yesterday's bet for instance. Only one person in five will ever have a stack over 50K, but that's by the end of the tournament. Many of the people, say 60%, will not reach that pinnacle by the end of day one, and of those who do, almost 50% will drop below 50K by the end of the day. This makes the odds of a random player having 50K+ by the end of the day at about 24:1 against. Edit: Actual results from Day 1a and 1b show it to 26:1 against No doubt, Daniel is much better than a random player, so you can maybe double, or very generously triple his odds to set the line at 8:1 against; They are still nowhere near even. A better bet you could make tomorrow would be that Daniel will reach 180K in chips at some point in time before he goes broke. This would be about 11:10 for a random player with his chip stack, but is probably 3:4 for Negreanu. If you insist on putting a time constraint on it, you should really ask for 2:1 odds or better. But if you do make this bet, I'll be rooting for you to win. Go DN! Link to post Share on other sites
