I agree that this is not angle shooting for sure. I think DN is a combination of smart and irritating. He does know what to say to some of these players with stars in their eyes. More often than not he does get information.

But he is irritating when the cameras and lights are on and he feels compelled to talk us through a hand time after time. It never fails that no matter what hand someone shows, Danny has to proclaim, "I thought you had that."

Now, as an aside, the best pro at using his table talk to influence others is Marcel Luske. I have witnessed him hypnotize star-struck players into doing what he wants them to do, just through charisma. It is something to see.
