the more i watch high stakes, the more i lose respect for daniel's game. it's clear that he goes on tilt in both season's, but I just don't get why he's such a calling station. let's take the big hand from this week's show vs. eli. can he really believe he's fighting for a chop at this point in time? everytime he's been sick to himself with a river card, someone else bets and he calls showing the worst hand. i just don't get it.

He laid down some pretty big hands to the less experienced guys before he took that beat to Gus, but he has been paying off the more 'well known' people. I guess Amnon and corey were shaking and the camera didn't pick it up

personally, i felt a bit better knowing that even a player with as much talent and success as DN can go on tilt and make bad plays. as a fan of his it was painful--but instructive--to watch.

Guys, its not the end of the world if DN misplayed a few hands. Noone plays perfectly and Daniel is no exception. He has leaks in his game....but so does EVERYONE else in the world. Its just magnified more when you play on television.

I think it just shows that even how much of a great player Daniel Negreanu is... He could be even better. It also shows that these "pros" are human and are prone to huge tilts. But I dunno how you could lose respect to someone with the amount of success he's had.

After watching this past episode, I also thought that DN was on tilt and became a calling station. Then I realized that they only show selected hands, thus we perhaps don't see situations where Daniel calls down with 3rd pair and his hand was good. Also, DN's game relies a lot on his post flop skills. He does not have a strict standard of starting hands since he feels that he has a good edge post flop. This means that he will often be put in situations where he has to make tough calls. And a decent number of times, he's wrong and it so happens that the HSP producers only show us the times that he's wrong.
