Re: Daniel N. lacks pure poker skills?
Let's be realistic here. Everyone is distracted a little when playing online poker. Who only plays online poker? At a bare minimum, I am watching tv, surfing the internet, eating. That excuse is lame.
And he played so bad on HSP that you could go to medium stakes and pick 8 names and random and they would be huge favorites over DN in NL holdem.
Daniel seems to think he played okay on that show, or at least wasn't on full blown tilt the entire time, and if he thinks that, he has no chance to beat real NL holdem games.
I haven't seen him play other games, but the times I have seen him talk about most HORSE games, he seemed to have a good grasp of what was going on, however, I have a doubt that he would revert to playing too loosely and never folding, similarly to NL holdem if things didn't go his way.
And the hilarious thing about tells is that no player gives off more than Daniel (well that might be hyperbole but he is way up at the top of the list). Its either as if he doesn't care and/or is so cocky that he thinks he's unreadable.
