They should just do live internet hole-cam broadcasts of 10k+ events with an option to download hand histories later.Of course, most professionals would be against something like that.

Rousso is the best out of this list, if you go by hendon stats alone, for the relatively short amount of time she's been playing live tourney poker, no-limit hold'em seems to be her game:http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=43135

My first Blog - Leyser v. GoldWhen Eric Morris first asked me to write a blog for Bluff a week or two ago I said I needed to think about it because, although I enjoy writing, I find it painful. I kind of labor over anything I write trying to make sure it says what I mean in a clear concise way, and for me, that doesn't come easy. After discussing the idea with my wife Jennifer though, she assured me that this would be much easier than other writings because its...well...casual she said. I decided to give it a shot.So here goes my first ever blog entry and its about my good friend Jamie Gold. I

meh.He's a no limit specialist. Best no limit tournament specialist in the world? hahahaha, someday, maybe you can say that...He's clearly good at no limit tournaments, but he has a long way until he deserves to call himself anything at this point, aside from a talented young professional with a bright future ahead of him who played a dirty online game at one point in his career.

"I'm rich biatch"? I mean not, CEO 100million plus rich, but, "he's rich biatch"?Who cares, if he was one credit shy? Success is success. Also, Negreanu is a very articulate for a guy without a high school diploma.

Lighten up.The guy is trying to do rockstar. He has delusions that he's a rockstar, and vis a vis your average high profile poker player, he's pulling it off. Poker is boring as it is, and so are the players that play the game--besides Mike Matusow, Phil Hellmuth, Dutch Boyd, and some of the sluttier pros that are coming up the old-fashioned way, with sex appeal over talent. The Brandi's-basically-a-psychotic-prostitute-who-happens-to-play-poker-debacle, Dutch Boyd peeing in front of the Bellagio and interrupting internet interviews; these are very low key antics compared to, what happens i

Haha. Yeah, it's all about the wheel of fortune!Hilariously enough, you can bring onlyme386's ladies in his signature (great signature pic btw) around poker players and they won't budge an inch, but you offer them free hats, or free anything, and they'll be jumping out of their seats.

Go 100% wireless, eat, $hit, take a bath, et cetera, and never miss a single hand.

Any top poker professional could run this country better than what we have going now.It's like that whole argument about philosopher kings(link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosopher_king). A high-caliber poker player given the training and understanding of poltiics on a global and local level would do much better than the absurd American presidential donkey that has been going on causing havoc for three plus years at this point.Nominate Negreanu, he'd do a hell of a job!

For every professional T.V. player that made it big, there's that guy who has been playing his a$$ off either online or in brick and mortar with more heart than any of the so-called name players--but without the same borrowing power that the bigger names have had throughout their careers. There are still players--pre-internet--who have put time into this game before poker hit the bubble, that are still no-names, but have still made a living at this game without the kind of niche backing required to level out the variance.It would be a breath of fresh air if Daniel went back and retold some of

This wowsthat guy takes himself way too seriously.If you took your head out of your own a$$ from time time, maybe Actuary, Royal, and others of their ilk could actually teach you a thing or two about tournament poker.I applaud your amazing six in a row stroke of luck, but good poker hand analysis is a, math-heavy, dialectical art, not a platidudinous hodgepodge of one-sided statements based on experiential opinions.These guys are just trying to help you out, but how can they help a guy who thinks he knows all the answers. If you were a bit more humble, and a bit less ridiculous, you might se

Yeah, I see your point, maybe that resolves the parodox. The whining is about variance as well as poor decisions by bad players.

Right. I should clarify to be more on point with the OP.True whining about a bad player's inability to play well or get lucky off bad decisions is a strangely counterintuitive notion. I mean in any other sport you don't complain when the opposition makes mistakes, but that's the nature of this game.

All this talk of distinguishing luck and skill in poker is moot.Poker is a pure skill game, period, no argument necessary. Chance (luck) is simply one of the tools skilled players use to play a skillful game. I think that's where people need to make a distinction luck is a tool not a hindrance to the skilled player.Sometime chance/luck rewards the bad player, but I don't see how you make that leap and call poker a game of luck and skil. It's a pure skill game.

Two words: John Juanda.Negreanu took a lot of shots, and wasn't afraid of going broke: that's one of the key characteristics to a top professional in the making.

It's not necessarily failure per se when you are in downswings or when you go broke in poker; it's part of the game and the lifestyle. Something you guys can learn from Negreanu is how he managed to stay in action during his broke periods, before the era of sponsorship and all that; after all he probably never worked more than three days in his entire life. Obviously, he wasn't winning all the time.I think in addition to strategy; it would help young players who have decided to go the degenerate route in life to get some pointers from someone who has been relatively broke almost 80 percent o

Write more about when you started really playing on your own. Probably sometime in '04 between January and March, then by the end of that year, you were putting yourself into tournaments 100%. I've heard stories that before your now legendary '04 run, you were contemplating, (probably jokingly) quitting poker--which is a testament to how well you play when you hit rock bottom. I'ts interesting to note that while you were a very accomplished cardplayer before '04, you probably weren't fully independent yet, meaning you were probably getting backed or selling pieces of yourself.Elaborate for y

Protest the war. Let this one go. Poker is not going anywhere.
