I'm 51 years old. I have been playing for about six months, almost all of it online.

When I make it to the final table at the 2008 Main Event, can I be a "young gun"?

Would it help if I had a "crew"? I think my mom, my dad, and my wife's parents could come.

Also, how many years will it take me to pass Phil Hellmuth in bracelets?

That hand with the set of deuces was retarded...that's a [censored] slam dunk, fist-pumping insta-call

QFT ... easiest insta-call ever.

And I don't get the 10 8 hand at the end either... Top pair with a gutshot? There are a lot of hands that DN is behind there - esp against that guy ... you would think he would be able to get away from it.

I was watching him when he made that call and the guys around me were all in agreement that it was shocking. Daniel explained it on his blog that he was getting tired and fed up with laying hands down so he basically just gave up on his last 40k. I'd been scrapping to stay in the main event with garbage and would've loved to have 40k but that's the pros for you. A 10k buyin event is just loose change to them.

Daniel needs to lay down a hand once and a while.
Sometimes he gets way too overconfident in his reads when he is so obviously crushed by many, many hands.
Just fold with 8,10 and play on.

The way ESPN will play up Khan based on this last ep. will make him hated publicly. I thought it was over-the-top the first time I saw/heard stories about him, but later found him to be genuinely an excitable guy who's just having fun.

And he's good @ basketball of course [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

DN looks as if he tilted earlier or got tilted on that hand.

They left out a ton of hands obviously. If you read the updates, Daniel was on the chip rollercoaster before he busted, going way up and down, splashing around in a ton of pots and getting lucky a lot and also losing a lot.

On ESPN they only showed mainly his early day play, then left out the rollercoaster splashing phase, then showed the bust.
