nice...keep up the good work daniel

DN owns 2000-4000. :-)

Them are the figures to show why you are one the best poker players out there right now.

I reckon thats a good sumption.

what about online?

That would be interesting to hear.

Heh, why play anything but 2k/4k limit games or try to get these games to play higher stakes/kill ?

ya how do your online stats look??

You don't play that much do you? I've heard alot of pros play like 16 hours a day.

I don't play online much at all and frankly, I didn't keep track this year. I don't think I'm doing all that great though. I played the 5K sit n' go's a little bit, but that's pretty much it.

TP/MM :!:



Someone had to say it.

i know playing with the best and keeping your skills sharp and improving are important to you daniel, but wouldnt it make sense money wise to clean out the 2k-4k games instead of the big game. i mean if you worked full time you make half a mill in a 50 hour work week, 2 mill a month, and 24 mil a year. 1/16 BB per hour at the big game seems like a waste of time for you?? maybe i'm missing the point?

The Big Game is mostly 2k-4k.

What you are missing is that the sample size is too small. Even if I was down $500,000 playing $4000-$8000 after 100 hours and up $500,000 playing $2000-$4000 after 100 hours, that doesn't mean that my earn in $2000-$4000 is bigger.

For the most part, the game is the same. Sometimes it's $2000-$4000, and sometimes it's $4000-$8000. The players who play in both games don't change very much at all.

Thankfully you didn't say "post here when you go broke"

i like the denominatino of "samall games" for 400/800 which seems a pretty big game to me :-)

nice work through not as high as your advertising winnings in 2006 but pretty good

i was wondering where did he play 5k sng online?
i know the 5k head's up sng on stars but no full table 5k sng online but i'm not a regular of all pokerrooms

Again....speachless.

Your NL games is below that what I expexted from you Daniel, could it be that your just a far more better LIMIT player than NL?

I know that reslults of a couple of months dont give a clear picture on your overal NL game. But sofar whenever I saw you in action, whenevr it was on tv, high stakes poker or a diffrect event. You always seen to suffor of bad luck

ur a fool

Daniel,

When are you going to start posting your overall golf game cash results with your wins and losses? I'm sure since we have to hear so much about all your golfing, you'd care to share your cash results with all of us as well. Lets really see what you're wagering out there on the courses if you dare!

I just noticed something. Your not including your pot limit games. So are no limit hold'em, no limit lowball, and pot limit omaha included under no limit games? If so you might want to call it big bet poker games. (Just a suggestion)

ouch..if it wasn't for that the results would be great!!
but $391,000.00 isn't pocket change...to me anyways!!

What kind of bankroll do you think you need to play 4000/8000

With an hourly rate of about 1/4 of a big blind and that huge standard deviation... What do you think you need for a bankroll to play 4000/8000 with a risk of ruin tolerance of about 1%?

I know it's a tiny sample size of only 202 hours but do you think the traditional 300 Big blinds will not be enough here? (300*8000=2,400,000)

Would 10 million be about right for a bankroll in a 4000/8000 game?

How would you calculate how much a player would need in general..

(assume he's a winning player)

How do top players decide how big of a game to play in?

Would you put all your bankroll on the table? One tenth?

Jul 24/06 21 -1,279,000

How do you stomach a 1 million dollar loss. I cant imagine you can ever get used to losing that much money. Do you come out of pocket or do you have enough chips at the Bellagio to asorb that kinda of loss.

Unreal

Daniel,

How much if any of your annual cash game income would you attribute to the "celebrity factor"? Many people wanna take a take a shot at playing with the best and are willing to lose to do so. Assuming equal talent, would a player without the your fame factor be capable of the same cash game results annually?

Thanks,
Aaron

Daniel

Two questions

Question # 1.)
What I find most interesting is that you do so well at Limit.

From my vast experience, (playing for “almost” a year! Wow !)

it seems that playing limit successfully usually means playing a much tighter, technically solid game. Maybe this isn’t so critical at the higher limits, I don’t know.

So I guess what I’m asking is

From what I’ve seen, which is only your No-limit play, you play a very loose pre-flop game (Tourneys and cash (on HSP))
Do you tend to play a different, tighter style when you play Limit?

Question #2.)
Does Mike Matusow really pay women to dress him up in diapers and talk “baby talk” to him? (He won't tell me).

no data for 2004?
