Re: daniel n busto?
[ QUOTE ]
He lost a bunch in golf, probably around 500k + he lost a million in the big game, as detailed on FCP. I'm sure he's not busto. But it wouldn't surprise me if these losses cut his bankroll in half. [/ QUOTE ] link to FCP blog?

Re: daniel n busto?
I doubt he's busto. If he has a $10 million bankroll, losing $1 million is very significant and it would be hard for anyone to handle losing that kind of money. It's not on the same level as losing $100 out of a $1000 bankroll, or even $10,000 from $100K.

Re: daniel n busto?
[ QUOTE ]
Today's "Stu Ungars" have a problem staying broke - too much "other" money (promotions) enables those "go offs" to stay in action. What about: Phil - Gus - Ted - Mike M. - same "ship" as Daniel - borrow from each other - then find someway to give the $$$$$ away. (there are others involved in that loaning pool) If those are your "hero's", one does not comprehend the fact the game is measured by accumulating dollars, not blowing dollars. Five Hundred Thousand could be one round of golf in the correct circumstances.

[/ QUOTE ] Your number of $10M is probably off by about $5-7M. The replies that state his bankroll was probably chopped in half are likely in the right neighborhood. The key is how much he has taken off the table. He has investments, takes care of mommy, the wife, perhaps Evelyn Ng still (so she doesn't pull a Brandi and spill her guts re. him on this board). I'd put the O/U at $2.5M in bankroll. One more bad year and we may see this topic come up again.

His endorsements with FCP, his book deal, his video game and other entities pay him enormous amounts of money.

Re: daniel n busto?
I also understand that he was paid a fair amount by the Wynn when he used to represent their poker room ... or host it, whatever.

The way these guys gamble on golf, sports, etc. can easily create multi-million dollar swings and devastate their roll before they even realize it. Fwiw, I think Doyle took a lot of money from the younger guys this year omn the golf course.

Sure he plays the highest stakes games and is an all-around action junkie, but no one has ever heard of him being low on cash. Just because he loves action does not automatically equate him to a Matusow. [/ QUOTE ] I'm quoting this just in case someone didn't read this wisdom gem the first time around.
