anselm 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I really expect Eric to clean up here but we will see. Don't have an estimate on actual odds though. Will be interesting to see how this unfolds though... Link to post Share on other sites
HomeRow 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Eric has to be a huge favorite, or as big of a favorite as you can get over this oh so massive sample size. Link to post Share on other sites
econ_tim 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 what do you give for odds on this, I gotta say 1.5-1 on edog assuming liz liu is not a total donk, 1.5 to 1 would give a pretty good overlay. even the world's best player doesn't have huge edge on a competent mid-stakes player.

greatwhite 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 1.5-1 is a little too high. I got a friend who played Eric123 in 300-600 and only lost a few thousand against him. I don't think he's planning on playing him again anytime soon though. Link to post Share on other sites
Skittles 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 1.5-1 is a little too high. I got a friend who played Eric123 in 300-600 and only lost a few thousand against him. I don't think he's planning on playing him again anytime soon though.That's solid reasoning to lower the predicted odds of purportedly the biggest online winner in poker...Although I do agree with you, 1.5 to 1 is definitely too high. They are both winning high limit players, I'd guess this to be much closer to a coinflip, possibly with a small edge in Erik's favor, being that he has a ton of HU experience. He's a pretty good NLHE player too, but he doesn't do near as well from what I've seen in 3/6 O8. Link to post Share on other sites
jayboogie 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I wouldn't say she's as big of a dog as most of you think. Remember this is live play, which is totally different than online play. I'm sure she wouldn't play these matches at all if they were online. Link to post Share on other sites
HangukMiguk 8 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I'm sure she wouldn't play these matches at all if they were online.She would be a total dog in his court. But I'd say it would be pretty even match. She does after all play 300/600. I'd say it should be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites

AZWildcat 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 she'll need to show some maximum skin if she wants to win...... Maybe she should borrow the same top that JJ Liu was wearing in last week's WPT... haha Link to post Share on other sites
Abbaddabba 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 The more bets they start with, the better off the better player will be.But unless they want this thing to last weeks, they're going to start with few enough bets that it's not too far from even money. Link to post Share on other sites

choic 0 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 She ends up winning! She sure she is stepping out to play erik. Most pro's would shy away from this match I figure.Good for her. People would be doggin her if she lost. Link to post Share on other sites
