So a top pro on the curcuit has this big tell for all to see. Is this something he showed on different tournaments? Or was this tell spotted in one episode? Can this guy reverse his tell? Will his friends spot this and help him correct it.I hate stories that's cut off mid way and never completed.

Daniel doesn't want to say anything because then this pro WILL attempt to correct it before Daniel can take advantaged of it.

Side note: This is the first time I've watched pokerupdates, but I was really impressed with it. Does anyone know how often they have a new episode of that?

I'd like to think he's got the Tell on Gus Hansen.. Just because I've studied a lot of film with Gus in it... and he's so out there at the table... I just can't put my finger on exactly what he's doing when etc. etc.... But I like to theorize that he's the least groomed of the major players... (I call him a major player because he plays at the big tables in the Bellagio as well). Oh well.. maybe they'll end up heads up at the end and he'll crush him.. then We'll know! Wait... he already did that to Deebs... Okay.. maybe we won't know...

lol. is this a joke? "That guy" is Gus Hansen one of the most dangerous players alive. For what it's worth I think Ron Rose has bad tells. I don't think Daniel considers him a 'major player' but he has made a few final tables. When Ron has a monster he moves his head around, purses his lips, and acts like he's getting a body cavity search.... then BETS! lol. Gee... I think he's...STRONG. lol.

I don't think that its Gus, just cause of well Gus is really crazy and he would get severly punished in the big game for having a kind of tell. Remember Daniel plays with Gus a lot in the bellagio side games, same with Barry. The thing is is that its someone that probalby hasn't been named and that Daniel only plays tournaments with, which leads me to believe that its.....someone like Andy Bloch or Paul Phillips. I feel that its more likely Phillips because he shows a lot of emotion, but then again I could be wrong

I agree that it cannot be Gus or Barry because there is no way they could play at such high cash games with a blaring tell. They would get crushed with the likes of Daniel Ivey Reese Doyle and whoever else i am forgetting about. I think Paul Phillips is the most likely of anyone metioned. Do you think Daniel would share this information with one of his friends? Let's say that Daniel's out and his friend made a final table with this guy with an easy tell
