Obso1337 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 jon finkel is the man too. he was the world champion in Magic for a while, like the best player in the world until that one guy kai budde showed up. i'm pullin for finkel and DN and ivey, though one of those 3 aint doin too well. Yeah, I didn't even know about Finkel playing poker until recently. That makes four or five Magic pros that have caught the poker bug. What kind of twisted game is it where David Williams is better than John ****ing Finkel? :-PHaving a lot of fun tracking the progress and wishing I didn't suck this year.

Eleusis 2 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I think the average stack is a lot less than half of 331K - with a little under 1200 players left the average should only be about 75K.With 331K he's in great shape...8730 / 1200 = 7.2710k * 7.27 = 72,700331 / 73 = 4.54.5 + DN = good chance for FT action Link to post Share on other sites

With that in mind, there are not really any short-stacks at DN's table. Link to post Share on other sites
JohnGalt 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 8730 Entrants1159 Players remainAverage Stack - 75,323Looks like there's only two players below average at DN's table... on the upside that just means theres more chips for him to take Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of players in the game try to pull it off and be agressive and fail; DN is clearly a 'Doctor' in the field and his chances look excellent here today.Because he is now "expected" to be aggressive w/ the table chip lead and play marginal hands to showdowns, should he play more tight aggressive now or keep gambling? I would think he should wait for hand here; and log some kills instead of raising w/ marginal hands and getting called or shorter stacks going all in on him. Any thoughts?I know it would be intuitive for him to slow down here, and the reason he plays in a counter intuitive manner is why he's one of the best players in the game today. But why gamble? All hands get beat, etc. but with his chip count wouldn't he want to get the best of it percentages wise at least until we get down to it? Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 The blog should be up by now, did it last night. As for my approach, I won't be slowing down one bit. In fact, I'll probably go from playing 75% of the hands to about 85%. Link to post Share on other sites

NoxKo 0 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Johnson All-in Versus NegreanuOn a flop of 8d6h2c James Johnson ($59,300) leads out for $6,000 and Daniel Negreanu ($331,000) calls. Johnson bets $6,000 at the 7d turn and Negreanu raises to $26,000 and Johnson moves all-in for $43,300. Negreanu calls with 9c9s versus Johnson's QcQd. The river J brings no help to Negreanu and he loses a big pot early, falling to $271,700 while Johnson doubles up. Link to post Share on other sites
