yes he is awful and that is the reason he plays the highest stakes in the world against the best players in the world and does not get killed unlike the other 99% of poker pros would...

Didn't he lose so much he was 'cash poor'?
I'd say he got killed. Anyway, grinding up that high was way easier pre moneymaker, especially with donkament wins to padd an ascension.

[/ QUOTE ]

He was cash poor due to investments, not cash games. He also said that his idea of "cash poor" is probably vastly different than most.

His hand-reading skills are phenomenal, but he lacks in other areas imo.

He makes terrible investments though (Mt Poker, Stacked, etc).

His ''stats'' on the big game are NOT accurate. Most players in the big game have already said this. Barry G. called DN out on this as well. Mentioning that he keeps inacurate stats, if DN has a bad session he doesnt even post that he played. I was in vegas last year. Stoped by the Bellagio to be a Fanboy and just see the ''Big Game'' DN was playing with Eli, Doyle, Jen, David B and chip. I watched 2 minutes or so and left. I remember making a note to check FCP when I got home just to see how he did in the session. I never read the site but know that he keeps logs. I was interested, to this day its not posted. He has since posted winning sessions.

Please stop saying he is +EV in the game, Raymer even called him out recently. Saying he would rather beat a 400-800 game than loose in the 4K-8K just to look cool.

Daniel has lost money online and is up in the Big Game all-time, but the sample sizes for both are ridiculously small (especially for the Big Game, where playing every day for a month still tells you nothing).


You're definitely seeing players who worked on their game online and have moved to the live world really start to dominate the highest stakes (eg Antonius, Benyamine, Booth).

Much of the old guard won't be willing to play against these guys eventually.

This seems like a pretty standard thread for 2+2. What a great forum this would be if people would just be nice. Orlando, well, I don't even know where you come up with this stuff. DN is a really good guy and has probably won more money playing poker than everyone who will respond to your stupid thread combined and probably way more.

Saying DN "sucks" at any form of poker is just a retarded statement. Claiming he can't play poker because he wouldn't be favored against Ivey or Antonius in a certain form is stupid. Michael Jordan wasn't the best 3 point shooter when he played, does that make him less of a great player because he wasn't the undeniable best at all aspects? Seriously, all the DN hating on here is just lame.

This IS a great forum. Not because people are nice, but because they are candid, opinionated, THINKERS. Have you ever met DN? I believe you mean he SEEMS like a good guy. Howevever, isn't he a christian? No "good" person can HONESTLY understand Christianity and practice/preach it.

What makes this post better is that the OP loves to talk trash about other players poker skills, but from my stats is a losing player at .5/1 NL and 1/2 NL. Also nice BBV challenge match the other day lol.

No offense, but when a long-time poster credits an anonymous source, it usually has some credibility.

So you think KSOT really DOES go on colossal craps benders while wearing a red sequined dress and hose? Because I had more or less written it off as gossip, but if you think it's credible...

That's a pretty poor comparison. You're talking about one aspect of basketball that isn't even a necessary skill for everyone.

On the other hand, most people here believe that players many players like Antonius and Ivey would have a large edge over DN regardless of whether the game is Hold em or Omaha, NL or limit, 6 handed or 3 handed, online or live.
