Daniel On High Stakes Poker


Recommended Posts

daniel is clearly one of the better players at that game. he doesnt sit back like antonio and uni bomber waiting for hands. daniel plays the "game". he plays the "money" game and not the "card" game. ok, he turned out to be a payoff wizard in spots that were obvious he was beat but he has his reasons. i know his reasons. i saw another thread on here but it was locked but there was a lot of criticism about his call for 80,000 with pocket jacks. its the right call at that level of game. greenstein is capable of anything espeacially after playing tight for so long. daniel knows this. besides, whenever u have a big pocket pair and someone else has a bigger one, its a cold deck. in the long run, you'll come out ahead making those calls. daniel plays poker. others play cards. both styles are profitable but playing "poker" in the long run is more profitable. look at all the pots daniel steals. those add up over time too.

why did you post this today, was there a rerun on?
no rerun. just making a topic on a previous thread that was locked. the high stakes show is proof that the brand names in poker are not the best players. there are many good players u never heard of. theres a lot of politics tied with that show. not anyone can just sit down. me and another guy tried to get on but found out it was a waste of time. did u know that there was millions of dollars being bet on the side. for example, in season 1, a million dollars was bet on the side when daniel put antonoio all in when antonio had pocket jacks. the bet was if antonio was going to call of not.

what difference does it make? i dont personally know who made those bets. there was lots of bets being made by all kinds of people. ask daniel if u dont believe me. what, do u think it was just some room with a couple cameras filming a secret game? there was a ton of people there. a ton of people trying to get into the game too. it was a big waste of my time.

Were you there? Did you try to play?
of course i tried to play.impossible. they dont want good players. they want brand names. didnt u see jennifer tilly sitting on the side? dont u think she wanted to play too? the best she could do was sit in the main room. even when people would walk through the main room, it was staged.

If what your saying is true (which I have no reason at this time to doubt you) then that really sucks. There's nothing worse than fake phony BS. Anyone should be allowed to play. But first come first serve of course. You should have had a chance IMO.

See here's what doesn't add up. You claim:1) me and another guy tried to get onbut you also say2) whenever u have a big pocket pair and someone else has a bigger one, its a cold deck.If you are seriously good enough to play for $100k in that game, you would realise that it's easy to fold a high pocket pair in a deepstack cash game. That's a rather basic fact of holdem.Now, you also claim3) not anyone can just sit down.Yes they can. It was a game held in a casino, and as such you could have gone in there and played. Remember the Andy Beal HU match at $50k/$100k HE? Of course you do - you were probably asked to play by Doyle himself but you must have been busy with other ventures. Well, if someone came along with a large sum of money they could have sat straight down and started playing. HSP is no different.

Ya know, I always respect the posters more who start out in strat before they make a useless post in general..just saying.
??????????????????????? wow, u guys go out of yur way to be irritating. u know, all i did was type "high stakes poker season 3" in my computer to find out when the next season starts and i got took to a thread on fcp about arguments of daniels play in season 2. 95% of the people posting dont have a clue. i can teel that most of u r inexperienced players who are so scared of losing chips. most of u r also the type who measure a session success by how much u won. i just came here to educate a few who have some intelligence. believe me, its a boring sunday afternoon and i'm just here to kill time. i wont be here later on or ever. actually, i'm embarrassed talking to most of u dorks. but some of u r cool. just most are dorks.
