pokergeekinaz 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'm picking Cunningham since he's clearly the best player at the table and he has more than enough chips to bully the smaller stacks. If Gold decides to donk off his chips (like it seems he might), Allen will definitely take it. Link to post Share on other sites

I like how everyone makes opinions like they've played with all the remaining guys. Link to post Share on other sites
Highlow16 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I was actually hoping that Bodog was laying odds but they arent. Allens got to win. He has a pretty good history of closing out tournaments, i dont think this will be any different. Think he gets a kick *** bonus from full tilt? Link to post Share on other sites
Mack Show 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I think it's 10 million Full Tilt was offering. Link to post Share on other sites

Highlow16 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I think it's 10 million Full Tilt was offering.They were offering ten million if someone qualified online and won. Im sure allen already has an exclusive deal with full tilt. Wonder if there is a "bonus" clause. Link to post Share on other sites
Fatty McSlim 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 With all the talk over the last couple years that, "A Pro will never win the Main Event again," I think it would be great to see Allen cut through the biggest field ever and take it. Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtydutch 8 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'm thinking it's going to Taylor Hicks. He'll win the crowd early. Link to post Share on other sites
BeaverStyle 1 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Well, pokerstars has 3 people going to the final table, and pokerstars breeds WSOP ME champions.... soo.... Allen Cunningham. Link to post Share on other sites

BioPaul 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I voted for Allen, experience yes.But here is something I likeAccording to Hendon Mob database,Allen has made 86 career final tables (All Games, Not Just Hold' Em)He has made it to heads up 35 times and won 19 of them.GO ALLEN!

SilentSnow 1 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...=69826&st=0I cant take too much credit since he was like 15th at the time and the leadingtop pro. But youll just have to believe me that i wouldnt have picked 90 percentof the other pros to win it in that situation. Link to post Share on other sites
GeneralGeeWhiz 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'm pulling for Allen. Link to post Share on other sites
RuntCake 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Gee...last year's Card Player player of the year...yeah, good odds. I think if will depend if he gets position on Gold. That massive chip stack is dangerous regardless of player level. However, I don't think a chip leader at the start of the final table has won the WSOP ME. Link to post Share on other sites

RuntCake 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 i dont suppose youve heard of greg raymerFat guy, silly glasses. Yeah. What does that have to do with the price of beans in Columbia? If you are saying "like Greg Raymer, there are Poker Stars qualifiers on the final table...they could win." Great. Otherwise, try not to be so clever next time J-A. :icon_doh:If you are referring to his win, I believe Andrew Black was the massive leader going to the FT but got snapped off multiple times to go down hard.

hockeydude758 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 how can you vote against Cunningham? hes got this one in the bag Link to post Share on other sites
The Nuts 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Never underestimate the amateurs.People thought Matusow was going to rape the final table in 2005, but he busted in 9th.I think Gold will take it. He seems to be too lucky now. Link to post Share on other sites
pokergeekinaz 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 First, Allen will be acting before Gold in most hands. Allen will be in seat 5 and Gold in seat 8 (cardplayer and pokerpages both say this).Second, Raymer had a more massive chip lead (compared to the rest of the table) in 2004 compared to what Gold has, at least at first glance. Plus he was probably the 2nd best player at the table next to Dan Harrington (you could argue whether Arieh and/or Williams was better than Raymer or not because it was fairly close among those 3, IMO).Lastly, I looked it up a moment ago. Matusow was 4th in chips entering the final table last year and was more of an average stack going in. Allen has far more than average right now. The only thing that could prevent Allen from lasting a long time in the final is what happened to the Mouth last year (bad beat after bad beat). Link to post Share on other sites
blakheart 3 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Have you guys ever watched Allen play? I think it will be really interesting. The guy plays a very unorthodox style, I can seem him putting some very bad beats on people and tilting the table. Link to post Share on other sites
yergan 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 www.betfair.com still has betting on the win.Current odds:Jamie Gold: 3.65Allen Cunningham: 3.45Richard Lee: 8.8Rest are at 9:1 or greaterGood Luck. Link to post Share on other sites
