There's still about 1.5 hours left in the 25/50/5k level.

So the average stack is 64xBB and average M is 27. Still some short stacks are going to be making moves and going busto.

you have a lot of faith in Rizen vs one of the best NL players alive

[/ QUOTE ]

It has nothing to do with faith in Rizen. In fact, in the other thread I clearly said that Prahlad is a better player than Rizen.

But they are both top players with almost the same number of chips, so those odds were too good to pass up. Prahlad's edge is mainly shorthanded and deep-stacked, and the last longer bet will likely be settled long before it gets short-handed.

I think that a fair line on Rizen v. Prahlad is probably around +115, so I will take those generous lines all day.

This structure gives such a huge advantage to good cash/tourney players.

Unfortunately the table draw doesn't help my Rizen v. Prahlad last-longer.

It does, however, help my Lisandro v. Cunningham last-longer.

What structure gives an advantage to good players who are not cash or tournament players?

I think it will be hard to make a good prediction until we get to the final table to be honest. so much can happen between now and then. gold could be the next andrew black.

[/ QUOTE ]

So you're saying gold is the new black?

I was saying that the deep stacks and high M gives an advantage to good players (cash or tournament players). As opposed to online or other tourney structures where average M is much smaller on the bubble and luck plays a much bigger role.

Don't be a moran.

Speaking of bets...a Swedish online bookie were to post a last longer between Friberg and Thorsson.
The thing was...they had the two confused, so Friberg paid 2.7 in our way of writing odds (Pay $100, get your $100 plus $170 if your bet wins) until they took it down...
