Fluffdog87 2 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Honestly, this article is so absurd on a number of levels.It's really not even worth discussing.... That article is so badly written and makes no sense at all. Link to post Share on other sites

NoSup4U 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Since this article is not a English assignment I don't care how well it was written. The premise is that DN has been in better financial shape then he currently is in as is Todd Brunson, Barry Greenstein and countless others..One of the many threads on this forum ask how much money these guys have and 9/10 suggested that guys like DN, Doyle and Hellmuth have 40-50 million or more...This line of thinking is just crazy and I said that in those threads..(I refuse to use the search function..lol)..The bottom line is not many people are better off right now that in recent past. Lastly, DN will be fine as long as he does not bet on that golf swing of his....So Daniel is worse off financially than he was 2 years ago? Stop the presses this is huge news considering the shape of the economy.If you can insert 95% of the populations name into your premise and still have the same article, I would say its not a very good article.Mark Link to post Share on other sites
troyomac 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 In other news from the video in that article, Daniel's working out and trying to look like this again: Link to post Share on other sites
steve7stud 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 My son writes better than that. He's 15 months old. give him a couple of crayons and, yeah, he may eat a few...but the final product will be far superior to that article.I like this a lot. Very funny imo.

HighwayStar 8 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Since this article is not a English assignment I don't care how well it was written.If Pokernews want to be respected as a news organization they need to have well written, well thought-out and unbiased articles. This article has none of those qualities. In a way it could be treated as a kind of English assignment. Link to post Share on other sites

Stiles2004 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Two things...1) it's actually not that poorly written in a tongue in cheek sort of waybut2) It assumes a lot, which leads to it's overall downfall Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 No I'm pretty sure he won 800k.I think Barry even asks him "Wait so you broke even or won 800?" and he says "Whats the difference?"I hate other rich guys who brag about their money like this :icon_hand:In other news, I just won $7 from Nutzbuster for taking the under on our: "How long till the DN is bust rumor starts for '09"He picked February 18th...a real nail biter there for me Link to post Share on other sites

cardcore 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 This article was so badly written and so blatantly false, I felt compelled to send in a contact form to PokerNews explaining how frustrated I was that they let this go to press. Link to post Share on other sites

Stop the presses this is huge news considering the shape of the economy.If you can insert 95% of the populations name into your premise and still have the same article, I would say its not a very good article.MarkI'm not sure 95% of the population is playing .1.2 NL or whatever micro DN is playing....I must be part of the 5% that is better off financial today. All my money is handled by Bernie Madoff and if I had any problems with my investments I would have heard from him by now.. Link to post Share on other sites
phlegm 6 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Just out of curiosity, Does anyone here know firsthand that the article is false? Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Just out of curiosity, Does anyone here know firsthand that the article is false?The amount of things in that article that are false are much much more than any of the things in that article that are true.One example being that Daniel has been a massive loser online.My guess is that Daniel is a small winner at Stars over the last 2 years since he joined up with them or at worst a small loser.
