burgerman 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I am impressed that DN is back on his game -- as he predicted. It one thing to say you're playing well and quite another to go out and prove it.His performance at the Bellagio in the WPT Doyle Bunson Event is proof positive. DN has spent the last 24-36 months playing almost any two cards (ATC). He's done well with it and has established an image of often bluffing opponents with lesser hands and winning with them. I am in awe of his recent switch to the tight, aggressive style and watching his play in his last two tournaments shows this is working for him. His projected image of the past is serving him well now. He's playing judiciously and not taking quite as many chances. He's seeing the results and becoming more and more confident. My question to the forum is: when will his opponents catch on to the new style?Best --Burgerman Link to post Share on other sites

1969_F85 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 My question to the forum is: when will his opponents catch on to the new style?Best --BurgermanI don't really think that it matters what his opponents catch onto. When DN is playing HIS game there really is no defense for it because he is one of the best readers of people and situaitons in the game today. I think he said something about that in an interview with CP. Link to post Share on other sites
offset 0 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Please tell me this is a joke post. Tight aggressive? You have to be kidding me. Link to post Share on other sites
burgerman 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 no joke offset. by his own admission, DN is playing much, much tighter -- especially early in the tournament. DN has spent the last three-four years playing ATC. He should be able to go a great run with a style counter to his established image. Link to post Share on other sites
Omaha Hi/Lo 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 He said he was playing tighter in regards to raising and re-raising preflop. He is still seeing lots of flops and playing small ball. I think you confused his comments pertaining to his preflop play, he isn't making lots of raises and re-raises with suited connectors, for example, like he used to. If you want him to play tight aggressive then you want him to lose, because a tight aggressive player will never win a big poker tounrament...ever. Link to post Share on other sites
burgerman 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Omaha --Here's what DN said:Some stats:Pre-flop re-raised through day two: 1 (Guess what I had???) AA of course. I was out of position in the blinds so I had to go after the dead money.Bluff Attempts: 6Successful Bluffs: 3Now when I say bluffs, these weren't real bluffs. They were more like, raise with 5s 6s, big blind call. Flop A-Q-J, he checks, I bet small. I have yet to attempt any significant bluffs yet.I guess I'm confused. This would fit my definition of tight, aggressive. And I'd like him to win EVERY tournament he enters.Best --Burgerman Link to post Share on other sites

I will put money in on more hands than the average player pre-flop by a large margin. How I proceed from there has nothing to do with how tight I play. Link to post Share on other sites
