[Daniel's Comments On Wsop Main Event Broadcast]

OK the other night in one hand, Daniel bet something like 150 and a guy moves all-in behind him for something like 5k. DN questions the bet, the guy responds "that's poker." DN then says something along the lines of "no, that's not poker."i understand what DN is saying, but bear with me for a moment here. most folks on here probably agree with DN, and to a certain extent, i do too. but think about it for a minute:is that the future of poker? i can see how if guys keep playing long enough like that, they'll go broke and in theory eventually all those guys will eventually fade away, taking their poker style with them. BUT - if only for an instant, when i heard DN say that, i thought that maybe he was sounding like one of those old athletes who says something along the lines of "that's not how to play MY sport. These guys in the NBA/NFL/NHL/whatever are making a mockery of the game I love.", when in reality, that IS how the game is played today. Dunking, dancing in the endzone, etc. So the question is, is there a paradigm shift in poker? Must everyone play DN's way? The "right" way. Or will this new aggressive style slowly but surely become the norm? In my mind, that's one of the beauties of poker. Not everyone plays the same way. And a wild, stupid style can be effective at times, though not over the long haul, of course.Anyway, there's my two cents. Let me know what you're thinking...

[Golf V. Poker]

Daniel - On your video blog, you described it perfectly - golf all day, play in the big game at night. For us low bankroll people, the $1500, $2000 tourneys are a huge deal and we may not understand how you can't take them seriously. But do what makes you happy, bro. If you can win more in 2 hours on the golf course than you can in 60+ hours of playing in a tourney, how is that even a question? :)I'm a terrible golfer, but love the freedom it provides. I'm a school teacher, so my bankroll is not that great, but I do enjoy playing poker as well. The thought of playing golf and poker AND making money doing it sounds like the perfect gig. Do what makes you happy. Let the haters hate. Those would-be "poker snobs" are too high and mighty about poker, anyway. 10 years from now, they'll be off poker and onto darts or backgammon or whatever the next big craze is and everyone will have forgotten them anyway.
