dannemman is for real


Recommended Posts

he had the kahunas to stand up to hellmuth,he should have went up a notch
Hey, I'm no Helmuth fan. And maybe it was the TV editors fault, but it just seemed like all of the sudden, without warning whatsoever, the guy just lost it!! Over messy chips??? Made him look like he missed his med's.

That is the way it looked to me too.

That is the way it looked to me too.Because that's how ESPN wanted it too look. Phil was probably being a gigantic ass for a while when Danenman went off, but ESPN loves Phil. They want him to look like a colorful brat, not a boor. John McEnroe, not Albert Belle.That's why i've always preferred WPT broadcasts. More poker, less Lifetime Bio-pic.

I would lose it, too...knowing the amount of chips of you're opponents at that point of the tourney is crucial. Hellmuth knows that...and Steve apparantly does, too. I rarely play in a live tourney (and I play about 5 a week on average) where I don't have to remind a dude to not hide his big chips and keep them up front. It's rude in small tourneys where some guys just don't know the rules, but in a major tourney on the final table from a 20 year pro... shiz, Steve should've kicked him in the nuts...

Hellmuth had already been warned several times previously in the tournament to stack his chips. He was being a bitch on purpose, and deserved to get verbally penis smacked.

I was just checking the wire at the office and came across this:As the sun set outside of Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa Thursday evening, play came to a close in Event Six, the $1,500 buy-in tournament final table. One of the more expensive buy-ins in the Borgata Winter Poker Open produced a field of 244 players and a prize pool of $366,000.Some of the bigger names in Borgata poker history came out for this event. Players like World Series of Poker main event second-place finisher Steve Dannemman, Chip Jett, Arnold Spee, Paul Darden, Bill Blanda, and Chris "Triple Draw" Fargis, graced the tables of the Borgata Event Center. Only Dannemman survived to make it to the final table, but his luck didn't last long when he ran in to a set of fives. He collected $10,980 for finishing in eighth place.He's probably the second best guy at his home game now.Is anyone else impressed by his ability to get to final tables, unlike a Moneymaker.
so Dannendonk making a 1500 buyin final table is better than Chris Moneymaker finishing 2nd in a 10k buy in event in which he had a bounty on his head....please tell me your kiddinglet the record show I am NOT saying chris moneymaker is good

Steve Dannenman kills hookers.
Doesn't everyone killed hookers??? I thought God put that in the Bible or something when "he" wrote it... or was that someone else?

Steve Dannenmann EliminatedLog: After a flop of Q-9-6, Steve Dannenmann moves all in with A-Q and is called by Mike Maler with J-10. Dannenmann is ahead, but a river king completes Maler's straight and sends Dannenmann to the rail. Mike Maler now has well over $300,000 chips.

Yes, Dannenman is for real. He may not be Negreanu or Chip Reese, but he is a solid player on the tournament circuit, and has probably improved his game tenfold since the WSOP. Witness this final table and the 3rd in the TOC, this man is pretty darn good at poker. And, if we are to agree with Daniel that his winning the tournament at Tunica can partially be attributed to his recent lifestyle change, I think God also looks out for good guys like Dannenman. Unlike many of the teenagers posting on this forum, Dannenman and Negreanu are the kind of figures young people can look up to and inspire to be like, whether they intend to be poker players or not. If there are still trolls under 21 lurking and hating on Dannenman, please wait until you can legally drink a beer and go into a casino before you flame Dannenman or myself. You guys have a lot to learn about life and the real world once your schooling is done. Dannenman may or may not be a great player, but he is a great person, and that is much more important, I'm sure my boy DN would agree.

Didn't Mike Matusow say that he's been giving Dannenman many pointers after the ME?I remember him saying that in the TOC, but that maybe could've helped Steve's game a lot if that was true.

Hellmuth came in third in the TOC
