Default Re: what is your guess? Dan N.

[ QUOTE ]
Daniel wrote on his latest blog...

"On a totally unrelated note, the next blog I write is going to be very different than anything I’ve ever written before. I considered writing it now, but I wanted to give it some time so I can really think about what it is I’m saying and what the best way to say it is. It’s kind of a good news/bad news blog in a sense, although I prefer to see it as a very good thing and a positive step in my life. I’d explain further but the only way to do that would be to just write the blog now and I’m not going to do that.

As for when the blog will be written? It’ll probably happen within the week. "

My guess? Divorce or out of the closet or both.

Anyone else have an opinion?

I think it's pretty obvious he's taking a break from Poker. He states that "it's a good thing and a positive step in my life"... so a divorce wouldn't make sense. Plus he's deeply religous and don't think a divorce would be a good thing or positive necessarily (nor saying he's gay...).

I think a lot of 2+2ers overlook how difficult it truly is on anyone to make a solid living off poker year end and year out. There's just so much variance. Especially without making any substancial tournament wins. There's really only a very short list of poker pros who have played on a daily basis for the past 5+ years who have made a comfortable living.

DN is probably losing some monies hence thinks taking a break is a good thing and positive step. Maybe he is even planning on having a newborn....

I don't know maybe I'm way off. But I would lean towards a break from poker than anything else mentioned here.
