Bill Perkins who has to pay Doug $550k if he wins the bet. See discussion in this thread.

Good to get someone who is good enough to dissect and understand why he lost.

Just for some context, the other guys were talking about how much they drank so far, Daniel made a remark on how he had "some catching up to do" and concluded that his review session might get "a little saucy".

100% confirmed that he's getting coaching from Ben "Sauce1234" Sulsky.

Seriously though, I'm not even a native speaker and my command of English certainly isn't perfect, but even I managed to figure out what he's actually talking about lmao.

Yep. That's exactly how I read it at the time. He was getting on the sauce.

Sauce is still an incredible player who would be a top tier coach.

Wow. It's been a very long time since I've been impressed by something Mr. Negraneau accomplished.

Good to have that feeling back.

If Doug wins by $1, he should seriously consider paying off those bets.

Probably already mentioned but there's a Betfair market up for this match, current odds around 1.15 vs 7.2 as it stands. 5/1 seems like it was spot on at the beginning.







Nice Spot.
If it was fair at the beginning at 5/1, then Daniel has to be value now at 7/1.

Agreed. I would think it would be less than 5-1 since the match is even at this point. Before the match and after the first two online sessions, it seemed likely that Polk would win easily and big.

This two hours only is bullshit. Agree to 4 hours and see it through. Let’s see how you guys play when you can’t run away after 2 hours.

The short sessions are DN's choice and they make sense for him.

Seems like a decent line. Doug will fold into a win some % of the time because of his side action, which will cut into his projected 10bb/100. And 10bb might be an overestimate of his true winrate.

Hi Wolfram:

Not only is this probably correct, but it also makes sense.

On the other hand, if Doug is way ahead, he'll want to continue to play in a way that maximizes his expectation.

Best wishes,
Mason

Can the player who’s down after 12,500 hands quit playing at any time between hand 12,501 and 25,000, or do they have to finish playing 25k hands once the 12,501st hand is dealt?

If it’s the latter, then I think Yong got hustled. If Doug beat Sauce over 15k hands at 25bbs/100 (or something like that) why on earth would you think his winrate against Daniel might be less than 10bbs?

So people are guessing sauce is coaching him because Dnegs said he is going to get saucy with his wife after the session?

Guy just had a kid lol and said hes barely been playing
