Re: What do you think of Dannenmann\'s boredom?
[ QUOTE ]
He entered the final day guaranteed $1,000,000. When the day was half over he was guaranteed $2,000,000. He played fine for someone in his position. No matter how good a player you are a lot depends on luck getting that far. Remember that Raymer found good luck in several key hands in 2004. Dannenman almost made as much this year as Raymer did last year. Not bad. His moves may have won it for him, had the luck in the final hands been different. [/ QUOTE ] What? He played fine for someone in his position???? With something like 60bb, he got all his money in on the sixth hand of HU with crap. When I took a look at the cardplayer updates this morning, and read through their description of the final hand, it made me sad. It wasn't good poker, and I don't think it'll be good tv either. Meh.

"I got tired," he said. "I was bored of it. I was trying to make moves." [/ QUOTE ] Sounds like a guy trying to explain away his poor play. I can't imagine someone getting bored in the one moment in his life that over three million dollars hung in the balance.

Re: What do you think of Dannenmann\'s boredom?
agreed. He could not have been bored.. I don't care how successful or financially secure he is. It's impossible. Just a poor excuse for bad play (i'd call it tilt.. but he probably thought being super super aggressive was the best strategy and made a decision to bluff everything early...)

Bored playing poker? Bored with playing for $7.5M? I'd have to play a LOT of cards to be bored.

"I got tired," he said. "I was bored of it. I was trying to make moves." [/ QUOTE ] Unreal. Three million dollars. He probably should have read this the night before. Anytime I have a big event in my life (meeting, negotiation, trial), I always pull this out to give me focus. Everybody wants to lose

Re: What do you think of Dannenmann\'s boredom?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] The quote: Toward the end of the round, Dannenmann, a 38-year-old accountant and mortgage banker from Severn, Md., said he just wanted to finish the match. "I got tired," he said. "I was bored of it. I was trying to make moves." ----------------------------------------------------------- I guess it is easy to say we would never do the same thing, but he probably knew he was outclassed and he was probably mentally beat. [/ QUOTE ] I read his quote as "I was clearly going to get schooled, so allow me to give you a ridiculous excuse." It was only 6 hands into heads up, right? No way he was that bored. [/ QUOTE ] Did you guy read this thread? The guy really doesn't seem like he cared all that much. I believe him. I'm sure he knows the other guy was better as well and just went with the first hand that looked decent. (Top Pair and a OESD isn't exactly crap HU btw)

Re: What do you think of Dannenmann\'s boredom?

I have a hard time believing there was no chop made at this final table with all that money on the line and them having played 4 way for what seemed like forever. [/ QUOTE ] I don't know, on the audio feed they were saying the Tex wouldn't take a deal (I think Layne was telling him not to as well). And I don't think Hachem would have made a deal with a huge chiplead, and skill advantage over Dannenmann HU. I don't think there was a deal, but I could be wrong.
