Guest Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I am in for the beta test if anyone drops out.Oh yeah. I have free time for the next 100000000000000000000000 weeks just in case it gets pushed off. Link to post Share on other sites
guinevar 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Haven't heard anything from Mr. Bowen in a few weeks. Still the plan to release the beta test at all? Link to post Share on other sites
scarfire 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 As a software developer, whenever we are approaching a deadline and our applications are still buggy, we ask the users to beta test it. In actuality we are recruiting free system testers because we didn't test enough during development or there are serious flaws.First it was the Poker Mountain fiasco, then many WSOP Pool prizes have not been paid out, now this vaporware called Stacked (and probably some others I have missed). DN needs a new manager. He keeps getting hooked into these poor business associations/decisions. I do not have faith in anymore DN promotions. As well known as he is, you would think he could put his name behind something legit. Maybe he is too trusting in business deals.I like DN as a person, but would like to see him attach his name to something succesful. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry, but I have no doubt that Daniel will come through on the WSOP prizes that haven't been mailed yet, and I also believe that STACKED is going to be an incredible game. Like someone said in an earlier post, I'd rather wait and have the best game possible than to buy something flawed. Daniel is a good man and, from what I can see, surrounds himself with good friends too. He's done more for all of us than many other poker "pros" have or would do. Let's give him a break and just be appreciative. Remember that he's always flying here and there, doing this interview and that interview, recording DVD's, writing articles for poker magazines, playing in tournaments, writing his blog; I'm exhausted just thinking about all the stuff he does. Think about how he must feel.Please don't take this message as being mean or snotty (it isn't meant that way). I just think sometimes we all (myself included) need to take a step back and appreciate what we have in life and the generosity of people around us. That's my personal editorial . . .

As does the DN Poker Chip set that I sawin the discount/clearance aisle at my local Walmart.He should be attaching his name only to top qualitystuff, not something that ends up in the 1/2 off sectionat a big box store because it's crap.A lot of the DN projects just end up leavinga bad taste in the mouth of all involved. I hope he gets this straightened out soon.PokerRoyalty, and the so-called "Biz Team" need toget their sh*t together. I hate seeing DN get slightedby decisions that are being made by others with hisname attached to them. Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly DN has too much going on to be effective? Quality is sometimes more important than quantity. I really do care about DN and hope he doesn't ruin his name. As far as all he has done for me, I do not know him personally and cannot think of anything he did for me. Maybe you are giving him a little too much credit? Link to post Share on other sites
bdc30 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 BDC30: What is the saga going on at The Wynn?Old news, but DN signed a contract to be the "ambassador" of the Wynn poker room. Played some $500K challenge matchesthere, but then either backed out of, or just didn't re-sign theagreement because Wynn wanted DN to only play in theirroom, and the boys in the "Big Game" weren't leaving theBellagio.
