Here in Britain we love reading about Daniel.So much so than Daniel wrote on the Gutshot forum his TRUE blog for all to see.You gotta larf...http://www.gutshot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6621

Since when did adding the word 'Quit' to anything make a headline MORE irresponsible?How about...George Bush 'Quits' Whitehouse or Mike Matusow 'Quits' Dicking Around orPhil Helmuth 'Quits' talkingWhat d'ya think....irresponsible or 'must read'??

I quite agree although doing close to half a mill in greenbacks in less than 48 hours sure is a kick in the goolies nomatter which way you want to say it!Here endeth the discussion!

I appreciate that all the support on this subject is for Mr Monkey and I CAN see his, and others, point of view here!Barrys call, with the Ac and $110,000, is probably more an indication of his inability to value the $110,000 as anything more than a 5c coin. I suppose after playing high stakes poker year in & year out your indifference to money becomes more and more apparent.I'd probably call the bet upto $1000...after that I'm choking!Sammys call with the Qd on an all-diamond flop indicates, to me, that he's a born gambler and, in this instance, he got the luck required. I suppose if you

Monkey chops...you state "You must play poker to win, NOT not to lose.".My point is that waiting for the turn card to fall gives the person with the 'supposed best hand' the BETTER CHANCE to WIN as there is now a BETTER chance that his opponent WONT call a 3/1 shot to see the river card!Therefore you'll WIN MORE by betting AFTER the turn card as you're not giving your opponent in ANY WAY reasonable odds to call!If you offered me a bet - your money versus my money that I could spin the roulette wheel TWICE. If it landed in section 25-36 EITHER time I'd win all your money I'd rip your arm off.No

Surely the point of the game, in any given hand, is to win the hand you're playing using whatever means are appropriate to you.I appreciate what you're saying here in respect of the 'odds to call' statement but where do you draw the line?In both instances if Daniel had raised for $10M and I had $1M in front of me...do I , as the person with the nut flush draw, call in both instances before the turn card is dealt?I believe the answer is yes on both counts. Why? Because the $1M is the amount I'm prepared to lose in a single 'pull up' and if you give me a 6/4 shot to 'double up' I'm going to take

I'd really like to hear Daniels thoughts on why it is he 'pumped' up the pot on the two hands he blogged about re: flush & set!In the first instance it appears that having made the 2nd nut flush on the flop he proceeded to go over the top of Barry for another $110,000 after Barry had bet $10,000 on the flop itself.This might be a lame argument but for Barry to CALL that bet he would to have had one of two hands...1) the Ace of Clubs 2) A set. With two cards to come Barrys call was indeed more justified as the number of outs he had were multiplied by a factor of 2 given that the turn &

I have to agree with Dan here that the WSOP is now fast becoming the WSONLH. At the end of the day the organisers want their cut and its getting bigger every year.I'll assume, for the sake of argument, that Harrahs will rake off $600 out of 8000 buy-ins for the main event. Thats $4.8M folks of YOUR money being sucked out for the men in suits.Thats pretty much the total prize pool of some WPT events in RAKE!As Dan says in his blog the game of poker is many games not one.I suggest him and the boyz create an alternative event which runs at the same time down at the Bellagio where they can create
