Re: Intersting quote from \"The Professer, the Banker, and the Suicide
heads up live with an auto shuffler it is more like 47-50. In those games though it might have been more like 40 because im sure there were more hands than usual played to the river and less blind steals. and less check folding on the flop.

[ QUOTE ]
if erik123 was as good as you say he probably would have taken daniel negreanu up on his challenges. [/ QUOTE ] Not true at all. he could have a reasoable edge against DN Negreanu and still not think it's worth it to play for that much $$$ when his edge isn't as large as it is in his regular games. The whole idea of those HU freezeouts is nutty, especially when your opponents get to choose the stakes and what game, i definitly think DN would get eaten up alive if he played a thousand of these, beause he is going to be challenged by specialists in their best games

Re: Intersting quote from \"The Professer, the Banker, and the Suicide King
I have a 2-1 advantage over the Corp. and Beal even if the player I'm up against gets dealt 5 down cards to use instead of 2.

It's not really clear that, on skill, alone, we're better than Andy." [/ QUOTE ] I agree with this that it's "not really clear". Beal is a genius. After the first match he did work on his game and it showed in later matches. From reading the book his main mistake seemed to be that he tilted a bit (correctable, maybe he should hire Tommy) and that he tended to play too long against fresh opponents. Matches of five to six hours on his home court may favor Beal. ~ Rick

[/ QUOTE ] Why do a $100,000 to $500,000 freeze out where he and Daniel both know Erik is the favorite and Daniel will try to counter that by making the structure one to limit the skill factor as much as possible (and therefore turn it into a six digit coin flip where Erik might have a 52% chance of winning), when he can grind out nice wins at the $100/200 to $300/600 levels online to the tune of a couple mill a year? I'm with the others that say Erik is that good.
