Dwan knows how to apply constant pressure, he will fire bet after bet after bet.

what he hopes for is people think he has air when he has a monster, he will get paid a lot for his image i think, or he will bust early playing for the win

The numbers will get him - there are just too many players to get through for his style to work imo

quite a few people have picked Durrrr, was gonna pick him myself, but then this thought came to my mind
....he is a cash game specialist, and he will not take the event seriously,

look at it from his point of view?

"why am i sitting here, im board because im just playing 1 table, for like 10 hours, and to make money i will be playing for 5 days straight when i could be playing 8 tables on Fulltilt making $1000s every hour from Gus,...stuff this -EV im losing money without my laptop...... im going all in".

whiel i understand the benefits of him playing cash for profit...but it would be a sad day if the biggest, and best poker tournament in the game isn"t taken seriously by the best players.

Most of the pro players don"t really have to be concerned with making money anymore...it is a few weeks..with the prospect of becoming a true legend in the game, and admired by your peers?

the money that comes along with the status and admiration is a bonus-  at least at this level.?

oh wow..that rant made me a gold member! 500 posts..cool

Durrr wouldn"t enter if he didnt want to win. He knows it"s a several day grind before making any money, and a much lower EV than playing PLO on FT - but he will be expecting that, and be prepared for it.

He"ll just play a very high variance game- his hourly rate on cash will be much better unless he goes ridic deep
