RayPowers 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I really dislike the way Phil Gordon tried to twist the interview to dissing the WPT. I like Phil, but sheesh, keep your political agenda out of the damn interview.Ray Link to post Share on other sites

Morpheus 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I wonder why the WPT makes the structure so fast at the final table anyway? Daniel said the structure is good up until the FT....why don't they just continue the good structure for the FT as well? If the final 6 take like 10 or more hours to finish, they can just cut down the show to two hours.I guess it's the cost of running the set and crew that makes it expensive......

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Actually, I expected the WPT stuff for sure, but what really surprised me was the, "I guess we aren't friends" comment. Following that, he seemed offended that I thought the play three handed was weak in my blog. At one point I couldn't tell if he was joking or if he was really insecure about his play or with his friendship with me. It could have gotten really weird, but I think it all worked out. When he asked me to tell him what I thiought were mistakes heads up, I seriously couldn't remember any of it! It wasn't that important to me to remember so long after, but I remember after watching it feeling like the play wasn't great. Link to post Share on other sites

It was a little strange. I think he was totally kidding about the "friends" thing, but was serious about being concerned that you didn't like his play. You floundered there a little bit too, Daniel,not your best interview. :PRay Link to post Share on other sites

gpineo 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Daniel,I think you handle it as best you could for being put on the spot. I was a fan of Phil Gordon even bought his green book but after that interview I am not impressed. Good job on the interview anyway.Also congratulations on third place finish. As you said on the Circuit it would be a crap shoot with the speed of the blinds. And as you said you are going back to your old style of playing and I guess you can be happy that your method still works. I like when you are on these type of shows cause it show what type of person you are and how relaxed you are during a big tournament. I look forward to listening to you in the future.I just wanted to let you know that I am flying out from Calgary tonight to Vegas and staying at TI. I hope to play some at Mirage and TI. If I was to go to Bellagio would I be able to see any the other pros in the poker room or do you guys have a special place to play when you go there. I know you mentioned in the interview with Phil that you are doing the family thing for Xmas and won't be playing any games over the holidays. I just also want to wish you and your family a Very Merry XMAS & Happy New Year.CheersgpineoCdnPkrNut. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Even though I do believe Gordon was joking around with the "I guess we're not friends comment," he did come off as kind of being offended, and he is a horrible host. It seemed like he had no sense of humor, and it was a tough interview (Gordon's fault not Daniel's). Also, after the WPT discussion it seemed like Gordon was only talking about himself at the Red Rock. Even though Daniel commented about it on the blog, the interview should be Gordon interviewing Daniel about Daniel not Gordon interviewing Daniel about Gordon. Its ok that he asked a few questions about it since Daniel did comment on it in his blog, but I think Gordon took it too far. Link to post Share on other sites
djrobo 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Gordon is just very sure that he played the heads up match as a whole with the correct strategy. He wanted Daniel to state his supposed problem he had with the play so he could refute it. Link to post Share on other sites
army_vet8857 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 He tried really hard to make him look bad....on the other hand he asked questions that we all want to know the answers too.\2nd thought....I think Phil tried to rail road DN. Link to post Share on other sites

You floundered there a little bit too, Daniel,not your best interview. :PRayI don't think Daniel did a bad job at all. Having not had an opinion about Phil Gordon only because I didn't have anything to go on, I can now say my opinion is very low. What a horrible host! I don't think he was joking about the 'not being my friend' thing at all. He started and finished the interview about this, and it was nothing but a passing comment in a blog which had no intention whatsoever. What a self-absorbed git. Link to post Share on other sites
theresa113 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Phil Gordon is so weird on this podcast... very defensive. Sounds like he needs a hug. Link to post Share on other sites
Tiltinagain 973 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 In light of another post where many people defended him, I found Phil's comments on Bonomo very interesting.I hadn't thought about it before but I agree that cheats should have some form of ban from the big tourneys.As far as the interview with Daniel, it seemed that Phil was a lot more interested in Phil than DN.

-WZR- 0 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 wow, just listened to this podcast and it's very clear that he came into this interview with an agenda. i can just imagine him talking to himself before the show saying "don't back down phil.....don't back down". he certainly has a laundry list of grievances to err here. i find that a bunch of times he really tries to put daniel in an awkward situation. total loser in my opinion.

nyrajf 0 Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 I don't think Phil had an agenda here. I know he was questioning Daniel's comments in the blog, but I dont think he intentionally wanted to accomplish anything but find out what Daniel thought he did wrong during heads up play. Thanks for coming onto the show Daniel,Andrew Link to post Share on other sites
