Some people feel that Daniel is a calling station, making calls on the river when he has a good impression that he's beaten. One point to this strategy is to reduce the chances that a player will try to bluff in the future.If you want to see Daniel make a bunch of calls when it's obvious to him that he won't win, watch ESPN from 11 pm to 3 am ET tonight for the WSOP circuit event in Tunica. You'll see a bunch of "bad calls" that he made.Oh, and by the way, he won that tournament. So, I guess there must be a strategy in making these "bad calls" huh?

He also does it to get a read on player by getting to see his hand... a great value to Daniel.

hi im a calling station. what do you want?

[pbcsurfer]

I love when he calls the that guys bluff out, and laughs in his face, getting the guy to push, when Dn shows a set of 9's, classic.

Daniel plays better against amateurs than he does against seasoned professionals. (At least in televised tournaments and cash games).

Did you use the search function to see if this had been discussed before? Geez.

I did not use the search function to see if anyone else started a thread to let everyone know that Daniel made a bunch of calls when it's obvious to him that he won't win, and that they can watch it on ESPN from 11 pm to 3 am ET tonight for the WSOP circuit event in Tunica. I started the thread as it happened on ESPN.Just sayin.' Geez.

I'm just saying a bump of an old thread (if one exists) would have been an appropriate way to have let everyone know that it was taking place AGAIN tonight.

Isn't it so petty when someone points out a similar thread? Man, I hate those douchebags because they obviously have no lives and track everything.Oh, wait. My bad, bro.Well, not really. Just sayin'. Heh.

Back on topic...I would think that Daniel has been playing long enough to show everyone that he's not one to be bluffed. Add to that fact that it's def not +EV to call with inferior hands to prove a point over and over again. So I don't buy the reason DN's calling down when he puts his opponents on a better hand is for table image reasons. The thing with reads is that you're never really 100% sure of them so sometimes you have to call with the 2nd best to see for yourself. I agree that DN has his reasons for making the calls that he makes, I just disagree that he's doing it to discourage future bluffs.

-that guy is chad brown- a very successful tournament pro....also, DN didn't have a set of 9's, he had trips...

It's not bluffing when you have the better hand.

Any lip room left on DN's sphincter?

not saying you're wrong, but the fact that he won this particular tournament making those calls means next to nothing.
