i understand where hes coming from. he likes to go out with his friends for some down time away from the spotlight but because of his celebrity status its very hard for him to have fun or relax so he chooses to socialise out of the public domain. either way i doubt it bothers too many people

It would bother you if you politely approached him and were flaked off like dandruff, which I get the very strong impression is exactly what he would do if in the presence of anyone he wanted to impress (Eric Lindgren, Phil Ivey Patrick Antonious). We all knew people like this in high school, Danny just hasn't grown up.

If you are going to socialize in the public domain and soak up all the D-list celebrity fringe benefits and adulation every self-important shitwad attention whore is obviously seeking when they go to the trendy places and so forth, you have no business feigning displeasure when indulged... not in the way he did anyway. Read the paragraph again, it sure sounds like to me he's trying to be the coolest cat who ever crept instead of humbly communicating from the heart how uncomfortable he is with overly friendly strangers.

THAT'S NOT COOL.

This is what happens when you don't actually leave the house and go out with friends. You lose touch with how creepy it is to have people you don't know sitting at your tables, drinking your booze, and hanging out with you and your friends. It's just weird and I'm baffled by anyone who doesn't understand why it would bother someone.

daniel n is not my friend or someone whos life effects mine in anyway so if he wants to stay in because he doesnt like "fans" talking to him i dont care. i do understand where u are coming from. for years he has tryed to be the face of poker and gain huge celeb status and now he shuns people when they try to talk to him. he wants the cash cow but is not prepared to take the sacrifices of being a well known figure. but if he is cocky and arrogant and in a mentality that hes superior to everyone else it shoudnt bother most people

I agree with this.
