Al Smooth 0 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Madsen had a great run at the WSOP in July and deserves all the respect in the world, but look at this Shannon Shorr kid! He's got $1.4 mil in winnings in 2006, six final tables and two tournament wins including one in a 10k buy in. Basically Madsen has all the pub and the two bracelets, but Shorr has consistantly been a winner all year. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites

FatBurger 0 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Madsen wasn't even 21 until June 7th, so you have to take that into account.I think they both deserve respect, and it'll be interesting to see how they do the rest of the year. Link to post Share on other sites
PrtyPSux 0 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I think it'd be pretty unfair for people to decide based on the fact that no one has really seen either of them play. (except shannon on the Aussie millions, but thats not really enough)I played a sit n go in LA with shorr and he was real good, but then again, how much can u judge someone's play from a sit n go? I would lean more towards Shannon because of the fact that he's been proving himself for a while already, online and overseas live, when he was finally able to play in the states he crushed. Jeff Madsen didnt even have a bankroll before the Series from what I've heard. Both of their results are insanely impressive though so they're obv both great. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I am......Neither a good poker player nor under 24. Link to post Share on other sites
PrtyPSux 0 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I thought this was only about madsen and shorr...but certainly there are a ton of -24's with huuuge talent.Online players that will be famous live in the near future Ozzy, ActionJeff, Strassa( I think he's young), Jordan (Imsolucky0) Morgan, H@llingol, TheWacokidd, Apestyles (dunno if he's under 24), Bill Ivey, Ari, Tmay, Crazy Marco, damn I could go on and on and on but these are just some that come to mind....Live players under 24 that are already some of the best in the world...Dags, Gratz, Efro, Shorr, dunno if fishcman is that young, that "little nicky" guy i think is under 24, and of course there are a bunch that I'm forgetting...note most of these guys were online pros before they blew up live...so its just a matter of time for the other ones..

DanielSon 0 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I'm gonna say that Madsen plays well but has terrible bankroll management seeing as he used college money and money from his parents to buy into the WSOP.... Link to post Share on other sites

I was impressed. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCorporation3 0 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 whatever man, i give that kid respect for TELLING the guy, you move in on me again and i'll call you with any 2, and then ACTUALLY DOING IT. I was impressed.Well, it might be impressive, that's for sure, he has balls, no brains, but balls. I might be going out on a limb here, but calling an all-in, in the dark might be -EV. And when playing for the 12million dollar prize ME title, that's a little disturbing. No doubt impressive, but retarded as well. Link to post Share on other sites
showstopper24 0 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Madsen for sure. They have won the same amount and Madsen only played for about a month and a half, instead of a whole year. Link to post Share on other sites
