Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

It is starting to look like Daniel may end up at PokerStars. If this does end up happening it would be hilarious. Its no secret that Daniel and Greg Raymer do not like each other.

I think it all started way back when a group of pros, including Raymer, sued the WPT. Daniel, as I recall, stated that he thought this was a foolish thing to do and he and Greg got into a big argument over it.

Also, again as I recall, Daniel posted on his blog that he thought Joe Hachem was the real deal and that even Chris Moneymaker had potential, but he felt that Greg was not really such a great poker player. And of course at last years Nat. Headsup Poker Championship Daniel defeated Greg.

It will be a real hoot to see both Daniel and Greg in a PokerStars ad together, with big smiles on their faces pretending to be friends and teammates. In fact it will be like Gilligan's Island over at Stars if they sign Daniel, with Greg as the Skipper and Daniel as his "little buddy" Gilligan.

Well...there is this thing that some people have called 'adulthood'. I wonder if this could play into the scenario you have described.
I work along side people I don't like every day. I suppose I could go to my Company and demand that they fire everyone I dislike, but somehow I get the feeling that just wouldn't work.

If Daniel signs up to join that rigged [censored]' site, I will lose a lot of respect for his integrity. Seriously - I don't troll about and complain about "riggedness," but then again, it took me about 1K hands to realize something is just not right about PS in general.

I played on stars a while back and quit becuase of the rediculous BS suckouts. Changed to AP and a couple others. Just for the heck of it I started playing on it again a few weeks ago. I've been getting crushed by people who play like they are drooling on themselves. Back to AP and FTP for me. [censored] you pokerstars. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

lol so players say stars is rigged I luv it

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

PS is obv rigged in my favor then. Thanks for the WSOP seat last year. FT sucks since I bubbled for my seat last year there.

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

I don't whine about this usually either, and in fact I won overall on Stars donkaments, but I noticed that shortly after the new US legislation, the number of ridiculous suckouts (in general in hands that I saw shown down, not just against me) spiked right up. It's as if they wanted to keep the idiots from losing their money to maintain a high number of customers. So I cashed out, bought a new plasma and only play live now. ;-)

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

Not a big deal. Just look at our House of Representatives or Senate. Can't have a group who disagree more than that and still operate.

Could it not just be post legislation the games got tougher and your using the bad beat excuse to disguise the fact you actually suck, really really suck, really really really suck, a lot.

No, he said that Jamie Gold was not a great player.

some people get "boom" accounts, some "doom" accounts and some "meh" accounts. Every site does this. I don't play at FT b/c they gave me a "doom" account and won't fix it no matter how many times i email them. For that reason, I play on PS where I have a "meh" account--its better than nothing.

I may really, really, really suck a lot - I make no pretensions to greatness. I am just saying the runner-runner crap seemed to spike up after the legislation. Perhaps, I am a fool for not adapting and calling more all-ins with A4 or K6 - my bad. All I said was, it was sufficient for me to pull my money off Stars and play live only. BTW, hope to see some of you fine folks at the Venetian/Binions this weekend - come and win my money, since I really, really suck. ;-) OT, good place to watch the fight on Saturday?

2nd post and you're already challenging the entire forum.
Good work!

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

Ah, so this is like a British private school for boys - new boys must bend over for the elders? :-) No wonder upper-class British men are so metro-sexual, but I digress... Hey, this is a rumour forum - I am just spreading rumours and urban legends. But back to my question, good place to watch the fight in LV, other than the MGM Arena itself?

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

This thread has taken a turn for the awesome.

But I do think we can have all the "Stars rigs it against me" posts in a different thread or forum.

We're talking about Negreneau heading to Stars and also getting along with Raymer.

Take the rigged chat somewhere else.
Kermit's post is a tough one though because I can't tell if he's levelling or not with this 'doom' account and 'meh' account stuff.

For some reason I don't think he's levelling and actually do think he's been e-mailing FT to complain about his 'doom' account.
Amazing.

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

I really don't like to think PS is rigged... But May really kill trips very often.... in 2days I lost 3 trips with runnner runner flush???? 1st time that happen so many to me. I bet big and raise but somehow someone keep calling and suck me out.
Seemlike flush more often now. Maybe the site or maybe people watching too much of HSP and make loose call with the draw???? If that really the case then I think long term I'll get them all back.

enough of the rigged bs.. since when is daniel joining stars??? I wanted to see him bust at FT [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

Seems like DN makes too many enemies for his own good. I doubt Lederer wants him at Full Tilt and I doubt Raymer would want him on Starz. Serves the punk right for all the trash talking he does.

Couldn't agree more. Why would anyone want to be a part of an organization which blatently cheats their customers? Ever wonder their are 100x more "p'stars is rigged" posts than any other site? Even when Party was larger than P'stars, it was still that way....... I don't know how P'stars employees sleep at night.

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

Wow, I think many of you disregard the general maturity of both these players. Greg we've already witnessed as being a great human being, and Daniel, I think is also a great human being, that sometimes tends to share more than most, either way I have no doubt that both of them can rise above any previous animosity to be good ambassdors of the game on Stars.

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

So what is the consensus? Will Daniel get a boom, doom, or meh account?
If he gets the doom account will we ever know?

Damn you Pokerstars.

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

I don't play online anymore and haven't been following the online rooms closing or whatever, but is DN's website not open anymore? Where is some more info about his "looking to move to PS"?

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

Daniel once said a long time ago on RGP that Pokerstars was the best site, the site he'd be most inclined to endorse, etc. Since then, he's had failed ventures with Poker Mountain and Full Contact Poker, so going to Stars (is there a basis for this rumor?) seems like a good idea after all. His "beef" with Raymer is less than a non-issue, and half the posts in this thread are retarded.

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

zomg riggedness. live poker is rigged too. i think decks of cards/government have an ulterior motive in this whole poker malarkey...i mean they must be getting sumthing out of it, right?! and whats up with stars being able to have US customers? government payoff obbbbbvvvvvvvvvv.

P.S. try harder at poker guys.

Re: Daniel & Greg to be Buddy Buddy at PokerStars? What a Hoot!
 

A little off topic here, but I wonder how Isabelle Mercier feels about this supposed deal/rumor. She's been all over Canadian TV lately pimping PS.

But with DN possibly in the mix, PS might make him the unofficial Canadian poster boy for the site due to him being more popular up here than Mercier.

Your thoughts Olivert?
