Brian O'Hagan 0 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I pretty much always played 10-20, they didn't have 20-40. Yeah, my winrate was $45 but I spent lots of money going out etc. I would go broke several times in my career. I read that you wrote down absolutly everything about your sessions including your emotions ect. Did you ever go so far as to calculate your standard deviation? and if so did you know what it was? Also during your "party day" where you got out all of your tilt and raised everyhand you played for example did you include this session in your statistics?Thankyou so much for answering my questions!

Feedback 0 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 You mentioned earlier if all things were equal Ivey would be the best high stakes poker player. You also mentioned you do pretty well against him because you have discussed strategy with him. He is already widely considered the best all around player. What makes him so good? He seems to run sick good on TV and online but there has to be more to it. I've heard just his intimidation factor is also part of it but I would assume most of the players in the bigger games are pretty comfortable with him. I also have a couple questions about Patty as she seems to be your lifeline. Was cooking part of the job when you hired her or did she just enjoy cooking in general and then started to cook for you? Also is she a vegan or did she learn to cook vegan just for you? Link to post Share on other sites
ClarkGrswld4 0 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 why does Phil Hellmuth not tip in cash games? is there a specific reason you know of or even a theory?also, it seems you have come to grips with the fact that you are balding. why did you deny it for so long?

Willy Gee 0 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Daniel: I was not trying to say the Ivey should be equated with Lederer, Ferguson & company. I honesty think Ivey did nothing wrong. In that respect, I believe Ivey is like Durrrr. I am virtually certain Durrrr was an innocent bystander in this whole fiasco. His statements and behavior since Black Friday are certainly consistent with that conclusion.However, many people correctly associate Ivey and FullTilt. Ivey promoted the site for years and years, and won millions and millions of dollars playing there. In light of the longstanding relationship between Ivey and FT, the hate directed at Ivey should not boggle your mind. That being said, I understand your desire to educate the public about Ivey's limited role at FT. Do you have evidence that Annie was more involved in the business of UB than PH? If so, I would like to hear about it. I am less convinced about PH's innocence. He was with that POS company for a long time, in fact, from the very beginning.Thanks.Bill G.

alregis 0 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi, Daniel!I want to ask you why don't you hire a writer to transform your great videoblog issues into text versions? I understand that it can't give all your emotions, but anyway you've just cut so many people who can't understand your fluent and very quick English all over the world... We've always read your blog posts before, but now we can't do it It's a pity, Daniel. Believe, you are loved far abroad English speaker's countries. Thanks a lot. And good luck, man!

My point is this: why is Ivey being singled out and not people like Erik Seidel for example? What is inherently different about the two outside of the fact that Ivey was more marketable? Why does one get a free pass when the other is vilified when they are both in the same boat? The whole "boggles my mind" thing is why, if people are upset with shareholders, aren't they equally upset with the entire team? As for Annie Puke, yes, she was involved in marketing decisions including player signings etc and worked with the owners on the business side of things whereas Hellmuth never took on such a role.

Patty is not a vegan but she's been eating better since working for me. Cooking was NOT part of the deal, I was married, not that she EVER cooked LOL, but my mother was alive at the time and always did. When my mother passed and I got divorced, Patty took over that role and learned how to cook, and she does a GREAT job. Link to post Share on other sites

pokernews101 1 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 My point is this: why is Ivey being singled out and not people like Erik Seidel for example? What is inherently different about the two outside of the fact that Ivey was more marketable? Why does one get a free pass when the other is vilified when they are both in the same boat? The whole "boggles my mind" thing is why, if people are upset with shareholders, aren't they equally upset with the entire team? Just to be clear, I like Ivey, and I think he's great for poker (every game NEEDS a GOAT of some sorts). Ivey being blacklisted or whatever could potentially be one of the biggest blows modern poker will need to endure on a mainstream level. That being said, the reasons I think he is being (slightly) singled out compared to the rest of team FT, is because he owes money to FTP, and he is completely 100% emotionless. What was once a huge PRO to the Ivey "stigma" has now flip flopped into a CON. This is because he is more silent, and emotionless than ever. This coming at a time when everybody expected him to FINALLY stand up and be some type of a "leader". These are just my thoughts. I could be totally f wrong lol. What do you think about my theory Daniel?*edit- I also think hiding from US poker for nearly a year did not help his cause. Compared to Lindgren, Siedel, and the rest of team FT, Ivey took the "unholy trinity" route and hid like just like they did. The uneducated and angry public will naturally lash out at the richest poker player who hid for a year. Who hid just like Lederer, Chris, and Bitar hid. Furthermore, I think that his "lawsuit" left an awful taste in most of the casual fans mouths. They saw his lawsuit as a way to get their money back (just like Ivey did.) When Ivey withdrew his lawsuit, he essentially let everybody down, and in doing so, he made FT customers feel hopeless ("if Ivey can't solve this than who will?")This is pure speculation on my part, but from closely watching this entire debacle unfold from afar this is how I feel about it. My last point is that durrrr and Galfond did not help Ivey's cause by offering 1million each back to FT players while Ivey did nothing. Ivey is cold as ice, and (as you said) has a killer extinct. These traits will never go away, this is just who he is. So, when someone like Ivey owes FT millions, and FT owes millions of people hundreds of millions of dollars, people tend to get mad. Which is why, at this point, the Ivey hate should not "boggle your mind."Just to be clear one last time, I am in no way trying to compare Ivey with the "unholy trinity." I think (or hope) he is completely innocent, I just think he could've handled the fallout more intelligently.Q for Daniel. Where do stand regarding Phil Gordon in all of this mess? And is my theory about Ivey and FTP completely nuts or just a little bit? lol cheers mate. Link to post Share on other sites
brent_81 0 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Daniel, at such a high level of success and knowledge of poker strategy that you have, how do you continue to learn and get better at poker, what's you favorite way to get better at the game? is it discussing strategy with other players, reading forums, experience, or something else, or maybe a combo of so many different ways? Also, when you are putting in 40 hours of poker every week, how do you not feel drained or do you, what are some ways to stay motivated in this kind of situation? Link to post Share on other sites
BaseJester 1 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 No no no, and some more no, no, no. First of all, comparing Hellmuth to Annie at UB is akin to comparing apples and rotten oranges. PH wasn't involved in any decision making or marketing anything but "PH the brand" while Annie was more intimately involved in the business end of things. You need to understand the psyche of these people. They were getting paychecks, but essentially had nothing to do with the running of the business, much like if you owned stock in google and it was later revealed they were involved in shady business, that isn't something that makes you guilty by association in the least.I disagree with what you are saying here.When a person makes an endorsement, he stakes his reputation. That's what he gets in exchange for money. When it turns out that the business is not sound, his reputation is, rightly, negatively affected. The only reason an endorsement has any value is the risk it represents to the celebrity's reputation. It's not just free money. They can't just disavow the association.

I've always heard he doesn't tip and then he was here in STL about 3 weeks ago for the HPT event(played quite a bit of cash too) I asked the dealers and they confirmed he did not tip at all Link to post Share on other sites

Are there people to fill specific needs, or are you looking for jacks of all trades?If you do form a group, are you the leader, or do you join an existing group?Either on your own or with a group, are you transient or are you looking for permanent shelter? If you are looking for permanent shelter, where, what kind? Link to post Share on other sites
