What do you think of Dannenmann\'s boredom?
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.

Then again, I've never been there.

He was pretty light-hearted throughout the whole ME. I think he was just a guy that entered looking to have a good time and was tickled to make it as far as he did. [/ QUOTE ] I can understand this to the point in the tournament where say..it's down to 2-3 tables. But come on, this is once in a lifetime! If you get heads up for the championship don't have your excuse be "I was bored or tired"...that's just sad.

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