Guest Anonymous Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 His interview which i just watched basically summed up the feelings I had about him. He is a phony. He says the politically correct thing in front of the camera. Years ago when i saw daniel ( 7 to 8 years ago). I enjoyed his honesty, brashness, and of course his demonstrative personality. Now he is about the show. When the camera is on he is all about selling a product or selling himself. There is no honesty or passion behind him. He is a still a great player. No question about it. (IN all honesty he had one of the greatest years in poker history, but it does seem that his tournament play is starting to run dry.) But what has happened to transcend him into the person he is today? Money and fame! Well i am not sure. 7 years ago when i spoke to him. There was not a better man in that casino. Now I see a rich phony when i listen t o him talk. The passsion is gone as well as those truthful eyes and those innocent laughs that I used to enjoy watching so much. Well i guess image is everything. Right Daniel! Link to post Share on other sites
lamann1 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Can you offer some additional specifics, or details to support your point? Things he has said for instance that make you feel as though he is phony. Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtydutch 8 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I don't think think he's a phony. I think he's a socialist.but not a phony. Link to post Share on other sites
mbreon 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Oh gee, he hasn't won a major tournament since December .... almost 6 whole months. So if you don't win a major in the last 6 months you are no longer a top player? :roll: So what if he has other products he wants to endorse....he's not the only one. If you want an example of a media whore, look at Phil Hellmuth. toogood, this has to be at least the 5th ridiclous post i have read from you. You and JFarrell related?

zimmer4141 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I believe that he is referring to the interview before his match with Count Chocula. Basically, Daniel said that Barry has a big ego, and they've said some things that add some more fire to the match. I guess the OP wants to see Daniel just say that Barry is a complete egotistical @$$hole, and that he wants to take all the money from those poor kids Barry donates to. I think this post is ridiculous, as Daniel was a much worse person by his own admission when he was the pompus prick that said everything that was on his mind. Link to post Share on other sites
obrien64 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 OR he may love the game that has set him financially and want to do all the things he can to promote it. He could be getting in front of that camera to make sure that other people bring more money into the game and make poker a more respected event. That could be it. Or you could have all the insight in the world and with your Bill Filmaff sunglasses be staring straight into DN's soul everytime hes on tv. Your post was so not 1.4 Link to post Share on other sites
lamann1 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I honestly don't think he feels that Barry is censored. I think he feels like Barry is a little too blatanly cocky for his own good and that stems from his belief about cash game players being superior where DN believes the combo of cash games and tourney's is a better indciator. Still don't see how that's being a politician, but usually when people cannot back up their statements with facts, or ideas that says it all. Link to post Share on other sites
mbreon 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I'd rather not....toogood is well, for lack of a better term, completely and utterly worthless. He has contributed absolutely nothing towards this forum. Every time I see a post from him it is either bashing low limit HE players on here (I will provide an example), talking about how worthless Daniel is, etc. If you hate Daniel and are such a poker badass, why are you hanging out at this forum? He is just another $25-$50 NL player that thinks he is the end-all-be-all of poker since he watched WPT for the first time. Here is an example of what I am talking about:"First off I think you guys are all fools. And if Daniel says it is harder to win at limit it is because he is playing 3,000-6,000. .50-1.00 is not poker end of story. There is no bluffing no semi bluffing no slow playing. Jut a JOKE! A lot to learn anytime you want to see who has won more money at party I am more than welcome to discuss it. I think you guys are fools for the most part but it is OK. OPinions are like ass holes we all have one. That is my opinion and a lot of my friends and colleagues agree with me. TO me it is a dead issue. Have nothing to learn from .50-1.00 players sorry to say that but am interested in talking poker with people that play for real money. Bad beats at .50-1.00 what do you expect Funny sht. GOOD LUCK!! And all the people that so no limit is so easy then why aren't you playng it. SInce the object is to make money. Your bankrolls would be diminished!!" Link to post Share on other sites
SDLAW 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I think we need some additional support for your arguments in order to take them seriously. I have been hitting refresh for the past 5 minutes to see a new post explaining your views about DN, but nothing yet!!!Can you please provide the necessary support for your comments? Because right now, there is none.Thank you Link to post Share on other sites
lamann1 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Exactly. He has offered nothing to back the point up whatsoever. i.e. he has nothing to back it up with. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anonymous Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 i said what i had to say if you don't like it. As i have said before it is an opinion. I feel that he is not the same person that i met 7 years ago.and .50-1.00 is still not poker. you cal lon any draws that is a rule. so bad beat s are going to occur consistently. I am sorry i am not a negraneau kiss ass. I come in here once in a while. I met him years ago and do not care to meet him today. As a teacher, i learn a lot from children. Most importantly i learn to see people for who they are. Daniel is not a socialist. He wants you to believe he is one. He wants you to think he is a great human being. At least Barry was donating for years. Not once they started to publicize him. LOok I stated my opinion that is all i stop by once in a whileAND as i said image is everything to him right now.

SDLAW 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 And I believe it was you who stated in the past that opinions are like a.. holes , everybody has one. Well, then why bother putting your a..hole on display on this forum considering you have no evidence to back it up??Thank you for your time, please don't waste ours next time.

mbreon 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 You are a teacher yet you can barely type a coherent sentence. Caps flying all over the place....you sound more like a 17-year old to me, but whatever....no one said you had to be a kiss-ass to join this forum, but you can't expect to be surprised when 98% or more of the members here are Negreanu fans, considering it is his forum. And yes, 0.50/1.00 limit is still poker. If you can't beat that game consistently, you have no business playing limits any higher than that. I started out playing .25/.50 and .50/1 around 7 years ago and I have become a much better poker player because of it. People draw a lot, so what? They draw at 10/20 and 20/40 as well. You don't think they draw at no limit? I have seen people call off their money on gut shot straight draws so many times I can't even count.... Link to post Share on other sites

SDLAW 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I agree with you GTKID, but what issues???He has brought no issues, points, claims, supporting evidence, reasons, or anything that can be seen as argument. Therefore, there is nothing that can really be discussed here. If there is any evidence of his comments, I would like to hear them and would love to argue against them. However, you cannot argue against opinions, they are simply words of one's beliefs, imaginations, hatred, jealousy, or a combination of above.Thank you Link to post Share on other sites
GTKID 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Right so attack his lack of evidence and dismiss his claims, don't just randomly say he can't type, as if that somehow makes you right and him wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
SapphireTiger 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 blah blah blah...you're a teacher you should have perfect typing!I hate that kind of stuff, because you're addressing the OP's typing skills instead of addressing the fact that he's an idiot.What do you really expect from Daniel? You still haven't really given an example of how he's a phony.People do change. Seven years ago he didn't have hardly any of the same responsibilities as he does now. As a poker embassador for the Wynn and his perception on television, he really has no choice but to be careful what he says on camera. The truth is that he can't and shouldn't want to ruin his current TV perception regardless of his claims of ALL OUT HONESTY previously. He has a responsibility to be civil and friendly to all the poker players, including Barry, because of the Wynn, and because of his image as a poker player.The passion is there, along with the truthful eyes and innocent laughs you mentioned, but on his shoulders he carries the weight of a lot of new responsibilities, and that can change a person. My opinion is that it hasn't changed him for the worst. It's just made him a bit different. Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I think he's referring to this: http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_tournament...deo&video_id=47Yet I see nothing wrong with it.. BTW if you're also saying Daniel's suddenly donating now that he's a public figure you've got no argument.... he's Canadian. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I hate that kind of stuff, because you're addressing the OP's typing skills instead of addressing the fact that he's an idiot.people have already done that for me..... And he acted like the fact hes a teacher means we should listen to him, so i just thought i would point that out. Link to post Share on other sites
