Seriously tho, the structure is perfect for her.

This makes no sense at all. Are you saying the structure is good for just her or what? Some sort of description would better suit your statement.

Photoc is right, this statement doesn't cover much ground unless you explain why it's good for her game. As to the rest of this argument, it's simple variance. You guys are on a poker forum, understand the concept.

Well, obviously, anyone with half a brain can see that she is just getting lucky, but the Government will look for anything to try and make a case against us these days....

I wonder if College Basketball will become known as a game of chance, since a little tiny school called George Mason was able to get just as far in it's biggest tournament.

Frist and the Frist-goonies don't make any sense, but I think it's a sick beat for all of us if Elizabeth manages to take this down.

One time, Paul Wasicka....

I believe your intention is to be sarcastic? But, honestly, my brain almost melted trying to figure out what your post is trying to say.

Yes, I meant just her. Being less known (play-wise) and a relatively quick structure that makes it a preflop game around the 3rd or 4th blind level allows her to exploit being out-classed by the rest of the field. If a "pro" was given ideal playing conditions (super stacks compared to the blinds/ longer levels for these blinds and a few extra levels in between these huge jumps they make) The best player should win 75% of the time IMO. Only 75% b/c of the potential for cold-decks or 1 person just holding the deck card-wise.

LOL you were right, I shoulda fully explained my opinion, but I was just trying to throw this up quick and get reactions. BTW Shannon has Paul Wasicka @ a 5-1 chip disadvantage in their match right now.

the guy with 100 bucks on shannon at 80 to 1 is getting closer and closer to that 8k payday.

Sorry. I'm just saying that it is obvious to everyone that this is just a fluke occurrance (just like George Mason) and not evidence that poker is just another game of chance like many will say. However, if she were to have won (and she just lost, so it's a moot point), this surely would have been brought up by the [censored] anti-poker contingent in congress. They just want to make poker out to be just another casino trap like craps or blackjack, which is key in their case to making internet poker outright illegal.

And "Cinderella" has lost her glass slipper. Her match w/ Wasicka was the longest of the entire tournament, well over 2 hours. She had him all in w/ the chip lead w/ AQ of clubs vs. his pocket tens. She flopped a queen on a QJX flop.
Turn was a K, and the River brought an Ace. That hand gave Wasicka the edge and he didn't let go.

Congrats Shannon, helluva run.
