  1. Well lets just take a quick positive from this world series for Daniel:Events Played: 24Total Buy In: 248500Total Cashes: 520302Profit: 271802Obviously that figure does not include any props/cash games he played, nor the 200k bracelet bet with Ivey.Not a bad world series, 1 bracelet and 270k profit, Nice.RegardsIan
    Not too bad at all. I'd like to have a month like that. Of course, I'd have to have a quarter to start, which I don't have... I wonder how his overall month looks, with all the side bets, bracelet bets, and the presumed bonus structure with P*s (without any knowledge, if his agent didn't get bonus payments in there for WSOP/WPT cash/ft/wins, he needs better Poker Royalty on his side.). I imagine it was a pretty, pretty schweet month.Good series, Daniel. It was fun to rail you (virtually and at the Rio).
  2. RIP Chip. I respected your game.Reading this thread left me with the feeling I was at a funeral where all the mourners were in cutoffs and wifebeaters. The pseudo-pornographic .sigs and sophomoric avatars all seemed pretty juvenile and disrespectful when contrasted with the content of earnest and heartfelt condolences.

  3. You guys are giving Gold way too much credit.
    I never thought I'd see that in print. Gold getting too much credit? What a concept... He was practically crying for mercy, "enough, enough, it's enough" The show was horrifyingly bad, except for Doyle's quip about his father, and the one about Phil/Antonio.
  4. Posts likes these are really annoying and silly, lol. It's as though you "think" you know me better than I do!
    It takes all the fun out of random speculation and punditry if the subject/object keeps popping our balloons! Of course we don't know you as well as you do... on the other hand, as Robbie Burns said, "no greater gift...than to see ourselves as others see us". You do get a lot of benefit, if you can ignore the ego bruises, from having people being brutally honest in how they perceive you. Of course, you also get some folks halfway up your alimentary canal. So, you're playing great poker, and you're an experienced and controlled gambler. You will never leave FCP. The handicappers are going to have a tough outing here. There are still a few bubbles you haven't popped, though...
  5. Like nothing he's ever written before, so it isn't about golf or wii or fantasy hockey. DN is the only guy in the blogosphere who does "coming attractions" in his blog. It has a good news/bad news feel, so it isn't (shouldn't be) marriage or baby. I think guesses about abandoning blog and/or FCP are strong possibilities. Quitting poker completely is also possible, but unlikely (how could he play LESS?).Sick gambling rehab? Move to Europe? Professional Wii tour?

  6. they need it to avoid the POSSIBILITY of collusion
    Riiiigght... because if I'm going to cheat, the only way to do that is to speak in a foreign language. Ivay otgay ingkay ofay eartshay. It is annoying to be "outside" a conversation, but realistically, the cheaters will cheat whether they speak English or Hindi. I wouldn't, but can easily imagine LOADS of ways to collude without resorting to speaking another language. Let's see, I could stack chip colors as a visual signal. I could use code words. I could arrange my cards, cap them in a different corner. I can signal with finger placement. I can kick under the table (stealing from the bridge players). I could cough for raises, and sneeze for folds. I could tap my fingers, etc. There are so many rules that don't help. DN is right about that.
  7. Last night. Bodog $30 rebuy, $10K Guaranteed. I am chip leader with 24 players remaining when my laptop power cord stops working and the battery goes critical on me. I have no other computer and need to conserve power for the final table. So I turn it off for 15 minutes and come back to see half my stack blinded off at 11th players left, am the short stack by the time we reach the FT, and I go out in 9th for a measly $176. ghdfhlkehflknf.wdmhf.ql;2eiopkggjklgjw./ufl/jwf!!!!!!!!!!!That is all.
    If you get your laptop repaired, make sure to rename it Vinnie.
  8. Noting the location and general action, i got a ticket for doing some very similar activities in a parking lot when I was 16. i was initially charged with dangerous driving, but it was changed to "stunting" when I showed up. i wonder why the video is cut to avoid us watching Phil get out of the car?

  9. "well amplified brush"... does anyone else playing these mega-rooms (borgata, taj, etc) find the constant PA noise annoying? Bigger <> better when it comes to card rooms, IMO. i want something just large enough to have some games running, but not too big. About 15-20 active tables seems to put it over the edge.
