Title: Best 'Lodden Thinks' questions
Post by: verndog158 on January 23, 2015, 03:58:11 PM
Afternoon all, after a fair amount of poker in the last couple of weeks, and being my usual silly self, been having some fun at the table, and getting a few games of 'Lodden Thinks' going.

For those who dont know, Lodden Thinks is a game where too people 'bid' to guess the answer a random person.. ie 'The Brain' comes up with. Sounds harder to explain on here then in person haha!

This seems to sum it up fairly well!

So, my question is...

What are the best questions you have asked or have heard when playing the game? Or what do you think would make good questions?

PS at a poker table I always enjoy dealer related questions. As long as they are not offensive and the dealer is on board with the game!

tried my best to explain haha. I had last night, how long would it take this dealer, in seconds, to touch the dealer chair of ever table in DTD. Didnt get round to doing it though!

The best reaction to one we had was at a dinner, Victoria was pretty new to the group at the time and was the brain. We did "how many girls does Victoria think Pete Linton has slept with", Pete was betting with Ben Jones and was extremely confident in himself and was sure Victoria would assume he'd slept with many many women.

I think he quickly opened the bidding at "over Ten", Ben snapped his neck off.

"Eight" Victoria said.

Pete went ballistic.

"I've slept with 8 this year alone!" etc etc

Judging by his reaction, yeh 8 seems about right!

He was making out like it was well over 50, maybe 100. I think the louder people exclaim, and the higher the number they claim, the lower it really is.

You normally divide it by 3 dont you for the actual figure

Yup. Those that get it usually get it quietly as far as I know.

Also 'over 50, maybe 100'........?? Over 50, maybe 60 I could accept. Over 90 maybe 100 I could also accept.

Giving yourself such a huge margin of error doesn't instill confidence in the numbers.

Think Victoria pretty much nailed it.

No credit for that one I'm afraid. Too easy.

Who - Pete or Victoria?

The best questions are

a) like in Alex's post, where the answer is pertaining to one of the people doing the bidding

b) on multiple levels, eg. what does A think B think etc. Tom Dwan on Poker After Dark was asked to think what Phil Hellmuth thinks of Phil Laak /100. Combine this with the previous suggestion for some hilarious nonsense

c) pick completely ridiculous things on which to bid on. Something like "how many people worldwide do you think are at sea right now?" Like an answer that nobody could possibly give, it's basically just three people betting in the dark.

d) the ones that get me involved because I am SO FUCKING BORED AT WORK

Sean next time you're on my table, remind me- I vow to get a LT going with you as the brain.
