This doesn't include the -$1.2 Million session that he had in the big game yet. He updated the Cash Game results, but not the Income Statement.

ya kno Daniel, after all those taxes and tips, you're just barely scrapin over minimum wagenot to mention the emotional roller coasters, high level of stress, and years off your life :D

3. At least he wasn't broke and hit by a bus like Gus Hansen a year or two ago. That was REAL FACT! My brother's sister's cousin's roommate's friend's dog's best friend said so at a home game.

I'm just wondering. With the stakes that you play, shouldn't you be up more than that over 1 year? I've heard it said that you go up and down 1 million in 1 session. Doesn't that mean that in cash-games, you're basically break-even and got lucky to record your stats when you were up? I don't mean to sound rude, but I'm just wondering. Or at those stakes, is it really hard to maintain a decent ROI? Also, if you are in fact playing sessions where you're up or down 1 mil, aren't you playing out of your roll? Why do you think you are down money online? Is it because you love to intimidate people when playing live with your table talk etc. or is it that it doesn't feel real to you?Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm just wondering because I myself am planning on playing professional poker starting in 4 months. I'm going to take a year off college and see where poker leads me (some already consider me semi- professional because that is my income).

Results are measured in big bets per hour, at least in limit games. So if DN makes one big bet per hour, and plays 100 hours, he should make 800,000 playing at 4,000 - 8,000. He doesn't always play at this level, so you need to consider the average limit he plays at over the total number of hours played. If you take these results over one year you will have a pretty good idea of whether or not he is successful at his current limits. What interests me is what kind of bankroll you need to have to play in the big game? Doyle says 300 big bets. That would be $2.4M, however, he lost $1.3M in one play, and said he didn't want to go broke any time soon, so I wonder what his bankroll really is???DN, is Benyamine the best cash game player out there? Seems like he has been on a tear recently, at least online. It doesn't seem like you mention him when you talk about the best cash players in the world. Curious what you think.

Playing 4k/8k with only 2.4 mil seems a little wreckless and gives you good odds of going broke with poker's fluctuations.

As big as those numbers are, the numbers could easily be effed up by a run of the mill downswing at the 4k/8k.All of 2005 is equal to about one session at the big game.I guess this is just poker income though.
i was going to say, in the cash game department 400k for the stakes he is playing at, isnt all that much. we've all seen him lose 400k pots on TV let alone everything else he plays. Sounds beleivable to me.

I have been playing poker for over 30 years. I have seen "action junkies" come and go, including Stu Ungar.What about expenses for tournaments? Gross income versus net income - two different things.Skip the prop bets, golf, sports betting loses and other "bad investments", like putting people in tournaments and those results (losses).What is the net results for each year?Gross versus net? There is a difference. :club: Montana

no data for 2004? :club: you don't want to divulge the money won for advertising/FCP... obviously that's ashame that would be intersting to know how much a well known pro can make in advertising instead of only think that it's between 700k and 2m

I showed him this but he says that it is just lies and he know people who Daniel had asked / borrowed money from, tell me that the guy is full of s**t and just jelous

Umm stupid question? Why would anyone bother with Daniel's nett income? As far as I am concerned, that's his business and his alone. Way to go on your success Daniel, you're a poker ambassador through and through. Keep up the goo dwork, and maybe one day we will meet on the feld :)Good luck.
