oxcer 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Is the best way to get back into top form to play stupid (uber agressive) for a few hours? It really doesn't make sense to me. I am by no means a poker pro, but I do know that when I play like Daniel describes, that is raising every pot, it is detrimental to my overall game. If there is a bigger picture that I am missing please feel free to inform me. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki_N 17 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I think he was just getting back into the swing of things after not being at the cardroom to play for a while. The 5/10 NL is certainly not a risky game for him, it's like me playing penny NL on UB. If he wanted something more serious, he would've hit some bigger limits. I can't believe you didn't get a kick out of reading that blog. Good Stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
goeps80 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Do you not realize that you acted like a complete a$$hole? By then writing about it and trying to seem like it was somehow cute and fun you showed yourself to be clueless as well. You deserve to get your lunch handed to you yet again at the WPT event, karma is a strange thing. You had better hope you can still win a couple of grand off some tourists because the way you have played the past year that is what you are going to have to resort to. I'm sure Mr. Wynn is thrilled that you sit down at his 5-10 no limit game with 125k and bully people around for kicks. Karma my friend. Link to post Share on other sites

hotcookie42 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm sorry to say I agree with the general sentiment of this post. Any time a player sits in a no-limit game with a stack that large it gives him the advantage of being able to put every other player at the table all-in. Hence the maximum buy-ins on most no-limit tables at most casinos. I haven't played NL at Wynn so I don't know what their rules are (and I'm guessing they let Daniel do whatever he wants anyway, since he's the poker ambassador and has diplomatic immunity). Allowing Daniel to sit in this small game with such a big stack gives him even more of an advantage that he would have otherwise, and anyone who has ever played in a situation like this knows how annoying it is no matter who the big stack happens to be. I don't think the bonus of playing poker with Daniel outweighs these disadvantages. If I'm sitting in a poker game, I'm there to make money, not to risk my whole buy-in against one of the best no-limit hold 'em players in the world. If I want to see Daniel play poker, I can watch him any night of the week on TV. To me this story is just a sad example of showboating by someone who doesn't remember when that $2000 pot was his entire bankroll. Link to post Share on other sites

oxcer 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm sorry Velcro thinks that because I am not a poker pro my opinion doesn't matter. But seriously is playing this way at all conducive to him getting his game back to compete with the best in the world on a regular basis? I dont see how this type of training will benefit Daniel at all when he plays the WPT this week. I wish Daniel all the best as I am a big fan, just my 2 cents though.

Stackraider 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 The Wynn is the only poker room I know of that does not have maximum buy ins on their NL tables. I sat for 4 hours on their $2-$5 NL table with an ititial buyin of $5000 and I doubled my money. If you play there, you accept the risk that someone can buyin for a huge amount and buy pots. If you can't handle other players being aggresive, then stay away from the wynn. You will walk away broke and upset.That beig said, I don't think that is very good practice for tournament play. That is a great way to get busted in a tourney because your chip stack is finite.(unless it is a rebuy tourney) . It is a good confidense builder as long as you can understand that is what it is.Good luck in the WPT Daniel. Link to post Share on other sites

Those POOR tourists ... they had NO CHOICE but to play at that table. People sit down at any table or game by choice, nobody holds a gun to their head. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there were 20 people on the waiting list for that table after DN sat down ... "tourists" who would've loved to take a shot at the "poker room ambassador". And by the way, if Daniel had ended up losing $10k to a bunch of excited "tourists" would you still be upset you self-righteous, pompous ass? Link to post Share on other sites

Are you only allowed on here if you agree with Daniel? I have read his blog for about six months and have often agreed with it, and have often disagreed. This was the first instance when I felt strongly enough to say something. Granted Nikki, I don't post my every thought on this board (or 5000 of them for that matter) and you will in all likelyhood not here from me again, it doesn't change the fact that what I have said is my opinion nothing more, nothing less. I suppose the people at Daniel's table could have simply got up and left, but considering how crowded he said it was it would be a bit of a drag to have to get in the back of the Q.

Anyone could sit down with 125K, so it's not unfair to anyone. If someone chooses to sit at the table with their entire BR that's their own fault.Alot of people play poker in Vegas to have a good time, and aren't really worried about how much they make, especially tourists. You can always move to another table if you want. But I bet he made most of the people at that table have a good time, look how much fun he has at the 10K buy in tournies. You people need to relax.
