ryansd 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Jerry flopped Jacks and Sixes...Is that a clue to the where abouts of Jerry Daniel? Someone must crack this code! Link to post Share on other sites
llou 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 If there was anything sinister going on, why would Jerry have been so nice in his interview after the event?I said it at the time and say it again ... Jerry and Jimmy went willingly. Anything else wouldn't add up. Daniel wouldn't do anything intentionally to jeopardize the integrity of the game.But I am curious and don't understand with why we can't be told the truth.We can handle the truth.llou Link to post Share on other sites

mhoward29 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Im not saying they were forced with nothing to show for it.I think DN told them they really arent what he was looking for and gave them parting gifts. Link to post Share on other sites
liveactiononly 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I think them being asked to leave is simply out of the question....I dont think daniel cares how good his protege is right now....In reality they would all have A LOT to learn from daniel and i am sure he could teach someone who doesnt even know the game enough to get them some respectable finishes. Thats the nature of a contest like this....you can get lucky and win, if daniel wanted the best FCP player to be his protege he would have set up something where it would be inevitable that very talented player would be the only kind who could win....ex: a zillion more stages and different format in which your talent and depth in the game would be present.

finztotheleft 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Next time they should have a disclaimer, then...Open compitition (for the young and hip). Fat, ugly, lame, crippled, fashion challenged, old and/or un-photogenic need not apply.All finalists subject to review and expulsion at any time for any reason deemed relevent by the producers, including playing one or more hands poorly.Or, maybe you signed something like that...I dunno.Not trying to be mean, and with all due respect to all the players who are much better at poker than I am, but I did not notice an over abundance of photogenicness anywhere at the table. Youth, yes. Hipness, ummmmm Link to post Share on other sites
runthemover 39 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 But I am curious and don't understand with why we can't be told the truth.it's been said over n over they are waiting for the TV broadcast. buzz, speculation whatever. it might bring them some more viewers or they just dont want public to know a secret deal before it is broadcast who knows. it's only like 8 weeks Link to post Share on other sites

WhiskyRiver 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I am damn good looking. Jealous much?So, how did going through the whole protege process fit in with putting your life back together? I mean, I don't assume that you meant you would TOTALLY give up poker, but given your statements of what happened to you, one would think that this might not have fit in with your (or your wifes) plan.

DerekTah 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Very honestly, unless the two players were caught cheating then there is no reason why they should leave.What I like is most of the reasons people come up with on the disappearence are sort of unethical.Daniel didn't want them to be his protoge. All players should have an equal chance to become the protoge. The idea that he didn't like someone style and kick them out for that reason is horrid.Daniel gave the players a deal. Why only these two players, why not any other short stacked player. Why not make the offer with the cameras there. The idea of a secret deal is unfair to the other players who may get nothing just because they were unlucky enough to not get shortstacked early.They were shortstacked so Daniel got rid of them. This is poker and in a tourney you are only out when your out of chips. If any of these three reasons are why two players disappeared then the contest is BS. Link to post Share on other sites

astros11ss 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 you guys are complete idiots if you think daniel would ask someone to leave because "they weren't what he was looking for." no one that closed-minded would ever host a promotion like this, where by its nature the winner could be pretty much anyone, and dn is in no way closed-minded. i'm sure we'll find out soon, but i guarantee the reason wasn't "daniel didn't think they fit" or anything of the like.

brvheart 1,757 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Ok here it comes.....They werent what he was looking for in a protege. That was pretty easy to figure out I would think. They werent very good players, mostly Jerry, but Jimmy was a donk too. I mean, Jerry called off his chips with TP/no kicker.Why else would he ask them to split?Now please, NO MORE ASKING, ITS ANNOYINGWrong, he had 2 pair.Firstly, Jerry had 2 pair, so not a terrible callPersonally, Im sure its nothing sinister - and Im gonna have to rely on you lot to tell me what it was when it does all come out, being a Brit...QFTEDIT: Oh crap, I should've read the thread first... this about sums it up.Nope. He was old. I am sure that played a large part of it. I mean-- he's just to old. Can't really get around that fact, you know. Plus, he was wearing incredibly wide suspenders. For these reasons, he had to go. I am sure of it. Jerry flopped Jacks and Sixes... Link to post Share on other sites
rog 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I feel that we've lost so much... but we've got The X-Files, and I believe what we're looking for is in them. I'm more certain than ever the truth is out there. Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar The Sperm 1 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Actually I think he offered them both a chance to be his protege. The old guy just to show that you can take a bad player and with some coaching make them good and the other guy cause Daniel liked his post flop play and thinks he can make him a serious player if he cleans up his preflop play.

I certainly hope this isn't the case though. Link to post Share on other sites
thechad5 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Jerry flopped Jacks and Sixes...Touche Mr. Negreanu Touche! In his blog he wrote about how Jerry just got cold decked from the blind. Hardly a reason to kick a player out. Obviously, there is a reason Daniel would just step in to say that he had two pair and nothing else. Speculation will draw more viewers. This Negreanu character knows his stuff. Something tells me hes got a future in making for good TV.Either this is a very very very shady production or there is something we are purposely missing. I vote the latter. Also, you getting a big enough kick out of this yet Danny boy? Link to post Share on other sites

So no doubt he has thrown some interesting twist in for his own Protege reality show. Link to post Share on other sites
FourFlusher 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Can't be promotion for the tv show...it's only in Canada, and, if every single tv watcher in Canada is tuned in to watch, what's that? 100,000? Link to post Share on other sites
NicksDad1970 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 All the specualtion initially was that there was some cheating going on. At least that's the way I saw it. So it almost seems since neither player has stepped forward or Daniel hasn't said anything, most people are expecting the worst.At least I am. Not that I like to be that way. It's just how could someone qualify for something like this and be taken out early. I agree there could be a number of scenarios and I hope for the best.I mean if it was something like Jerry not feeling well then you would think Daniel or someone would come back and mention it.So if it was something positive I would think it would already have been mentioned. No? Link to post Share on other sites
