Poker After Dark

For those who have seen the last few episodes of PAD, they've been making side bets on something called "Ladin Thinks" or something. I tried searching this up on google but got nothing. Does anyone know anything about this game?

This might be what you're talking about. When I was watching this was the bet. Well, kind of because I wasn't really watching, I was more or less listening to the broadcast.

Laak or Esfandiari told Dwan to rank Laak in the top 100 or 1000 in the world as a NL Hold'em player. Then they were asking other players such as Helmuth and other players at the table what they thought Dwan had Laak ranked at. But, I think Laak and Esfandiari both made a guess and stated it and the bet was only between the two. Then Dwan said what his guess was and whoever was closer to Dwan's guess won $5k.

They are betting on what one of them thinks the answer to a question is, rather than what the actual answer is. For example, they bet on the longest bike ride Tran ever made. But they didn't bet on what Tran would report was his longest ride, but what one of the other guys thought was Tran's longest ride.

It varies from interesting to annoying. Depends how tired I am at that time I guess.

It's on the first episode.

They were playing in Europe with some guy named Ladin. And taking bets on what he thought the answers would be to certain questions.

Thus the title of the game. Hope this helps.

It's named after Johnny Lodden, a European pro, who was the original guy who's thoughts about various subjects they would bet on. Hence "Lodden thinks..."

I bought the domain name 'www.johnnyloddenthinks.com' but alas, it looks like they have shorten the game's name...

Also, Bob Safai is a douche.

^ this.

It started during the wsop-E Main Event last year, when Laak and Esfandiari were seated at the same TV table as Johnny Lodden. You can probably find the footage on PokerTube or something. They've been playing it on High Stakes Poker as well.

Hmmmm we can call a non member a "douche", but we can't call a CC member a "damn donkey"?

Correct. They are definitely not the same thing in more than one way.


They had the recap tonight where Laak and the other guy I haven't seen in about five years explain the whole Lodden Thinks. They say it started in London.
