The elusive jerk attitude determines who the rooks are here for me.

Tournament blinds @ 60/120.I'm sitting relatively comfortable with 19000 in chips.I got lucky enough to be seated to the left of the loose and drunken rookie at the table. (Chip leader lol --sucked out an all in preflop call with Ac2d against an AhQh by hitting four clubs)To my left is an extremely tight lawyer. (Sitting with about 8k--He plays exactly his cards--never bluffs--very easy to read)To his left is a somewhat solid rookie--who I have gotten a very good feel for. (He has about 12k--We'll call him Mr. B)--Mr. B is the player that the hand focuses on.Things to note on Mr. B: He ove

It's very believable! U ever talked to those Party Poker guys! They are all Dikshits!! That pic looks like all of them that talk to you on the phone to verify your account! And Bush wanting to declare war on someone! How can you NOT believe that!?

Can someone just close this thread? The US alone has too much racist, cultural, religious whining. It showing up on a poker thread is even more ridiculous.

The "Min-Raise" is a terrible move. It is called a "Post-Oak Bluff". Anyone who has any knowledge of NL Hold Em knows that this is a very weak play. In Doyle Brunson's Super System he states "NEVER make a Post-Oak Bluff, it is a very weak play and I never do it." There are many reasons behind it, but I am not going to be a mentor, so go buy the Super System or reread it if you forgot!

Honestly, cash out half-$200. You get 200 in your pocket, and you have 200 to experiment with. I recommend taking 100 of your 200 into the $1-$2 tables, but since u claim to be a novice, if you aren't aggressive enough, either buy in the $1-$2 tables with all 200, or play at a .50-1.00 table. Either way it's win-win, u get profit to cash out, and you get money to build and experiment with. Good luck in college!

Live 95%, online 5%. IF THAT. I just started to get into the whole online phenomenon, there's a lot of online playing I'd have to do before I put in enough hours to catch up to my live playing.

I agree, and have always thought that, but I was curious as to Daniel's perspective. LoL oh, and i'm still lost.... Pottery?

LoL Wha?

He IS entitled to his opinion Newayz, about Greg Raymer. When he won the WPT he even stated that he was not a pro. He said he has a lot to learn and he lucked out but just kept his mentality straight. So for everyone trying to say he's a pro, look up his background. The only tournaments he had really played before he won the WPT were satellites from Poker Stars. I'm not saying he's a BAD player, obviously he's not he won the biggest poker tournament there is, BUT even he admits that he is not at the same level as the elite.

So I am being called ignorant because i believe that Raymer is NOT a "chameleon"? Greg Raymer is no chameleon, sure he may not bet his big hands the same everytime, he may even mix it up by throwing a check in there LMAO. But he is NO WAY, NO HOW constantly mixing his game up. Also, I stated that he is not called "Fossilman" bc he plays like a rock, but that is why he SHOULD be called "Fossilman". Nonetheless, your ignorance is also displayed when you maintain your uprighteousness by simply telling us all that we have no concept of poker because we have not won main events. Ditto my frien

Pottery?

I've been an avid NL player before WPT was aired... My opinions are not based on " a few snippets from highly edited TV shows." Can/Do you ever see GR play ANY two cards and set up plays with them? He is... simply put: a fossil, and before long his name will be fossilized as well.

I have no idea how to get his attention, but hopefully the title did the trick! I remember back when I read the Super System, Doyle discussed the WPT being around 100 players (I'd give the exact number, but I'm not searching for the book). If the ingenious "pocket cam" was not invented, there would not be an enormous Hold 'em hype. When the WPT launched it, many pros' careers took off, just like Daniel explains. With that said, I have wondered MANY MANY times, what do you think about the pocket cams? I know that without them, you, along with many other pros, would not have the fame that

My point exactly. Thank you

3 to be exact, and if you read them all you would see that I apologized for posting so many. You seem to start a lot of heated arguments with people, so please refrain on my posts, you would think that THIS topic wouldn't be one that would start yet another argument, but I could be wrong. Please only post if you have a response to the questions, not degrading remarks. Thank you.

Well my anti-Raymer post was stopped, so they all should. Too many people have opposite opinions about the man, so nothing but arguments are going to arise from the topic. On a previous note, players were trying to tell me that Raymer is an AGGRESSIVE player, whom maintains his big chip stacks. I have seen many games with the "Fossilman" in it, and that man is one of the least aggressive "pros" I know of. Sure, when he picks up cards, he knows how to play them, but he is in no way capable of what many other pros are. Stick him at a table with nobody but DN, Ivey, and Brunson, at a table w

I'm not disagreeing, bc I am not positive, but I'm guessing with the adverts for FullContactPoker before and after every vlog, they are probably sponsoring it. Correct me please if that is nowhere near the truth?

LoL well he could have responded in many ways, put many players in that position and see how that ends up. But nonetheless he didn't portray himself nicely this time.

LoL it was well-deserved, but can you really say that DN is not a gentleman at the table? I never really liked how Raymer played cards, but I gave him credit for being a better man at the table when he got told he had "little kahuna's" lol but now i have very little respect for him at all.

Although it may never be read, I want to post it neway. (I'm not drawing dead here, I have outs!) I just wanted to remind ya to keep your cool! With Raymer's recent statements, many bad beats I'm sure (no POSITIVE) you've had in your career, and knowing Phil Hellmuth, who wouldn't want to explode!? Many of us idolize you as a poker player because of your ability to keep your cool, so even though you don't need the advice, just a reminder: KEEP BEING POLITE! What you say and do can't be taken back. (OK I'M DONE STATING THE OBVIOUS!) And sorry all for making 3 posts in a row!!! I ha

I just want to state the obvious. Greg Raymer is not a pro poker player. I feel confident that everyone within these forums would agree with me that Raymer is an amateur that picked up a good run of cards in the WPT when he won it. He rarely made any good plays, he did what most amateurs do: He played the cards exactly how they were dealt. So with that said, the insults he made aren't even worth a drop of sweat. Raymer is in no way, near DN's playing level. He is now invited to televised events only because of him winning the event. It is inevitable that with the rise of NL hold em's p

Alright so everyone has that one person at the table who is the absolute epitome of a ROCK. That player that never plays a hand. Well, I always come to find myself running into the player whom never gets into a pot unless they have the nuts. Obviously I rarely get in a pot with them, but everyone else at the table can't seem to understand the concept! Everytime I play poker, I always find that the tightest player at the table ends up with one of the biggest chip stacks. I'm a very aggressive player (not loose, but smart aggressive). But whenever these tight players get ahold of chips, th

In one of Daniel's earlier but recent video blog he went on to discuss his tournament and previous hands within it. One that really stuck out to me was the one where he had AA in middle position, the chip leader was on the button and a tight player raised in early postion 3k. DN picks up AA and reraises 9k (or to 9k?). When the chip leader calls and the tight player folds, he braces himself. So when a 5 falls on the turn he says he checked in order to keep the pot minimal. The chip leader checks behind him. The river pairs the 8. Here, Daniel says he overbet the pot but he asks what we
