Totals: 14207 -$173,608
Profit Per Hand: -$12.22

well atleast its on the positive side.

Yeah, $20 a hand is cool

shrug, decent.

Is there any place you can read when Daniel is about to play online for a chance to log on and have a look ?

Thank you.

For the month of Feb I'm averaging 49 BB/100 playing PLO. I'm on a sick run. That comes out to $.26 per hand.

Daniel barely has me beat... :-)

Just watch the general forum. Daniel posts when he is playing a lot of the time. You can also go look for kidpoker on the high limit fcp tables.

Man....if it's that tough for a pro who is widely considered to be one of the best in the world then I think maybe there's no hope for me to make this a profitable hobby.

Well, you could still make it a profitable hobby. Just don't go playing 50/100NL with the best in the game. I'm sure you can find something better for you in the levels between .01/.02 and 50/100.

It is? That looks like a minus sign to me...





I do believe he's LOSING $20 a hand... but the total amount is very small compared to his BR, so it doesn't matter.

People aren't wearing their glasses

I do believe the first two posters who were talking about positive results made their comments before Daniel updated with some negative numbers.



Yes, I know in my life I will probably never play at 50/100...if I do it will be a long time from now and after I've become a much better poker player. But I would think somebody like Daniel would be able to handle himself at any level. Then again in Daniels defense, it's not too big of a sample size and we all can run into unlucky streaks.

Actually, if you look at the results by limit, he's doing fine in the 50/100 NL games. It's those 500/1000 limit games that are giving him trouble.

play us in omaha

I think this is a pretty tell-tale sign that great players use more than just betting patterns and previous records to make good poker decisions...Daniel is one of the best in the world and he shows this when he plays the real poker game, which is done in person where it's got all the variables involved (people talk, blink, breath, move chips, move hands, etc etc etc). I think Daniel is the best reader in the game and that is a key aspect of his game that he cannot do as much online...that and he probably doesn't get into the game as much when you can't see the people you are playing against...for me, there is nothing like live tournaments...I love that stuff...online poker is something I do when I'm bored and can't just get a game going at 4am in the morning on a Wednesday.

I think a player that consistently wins online could not use his style in a live tournament structure (except the wsop main event lol!), and I think the opposite is true as well. Another issue is that I play much higher stakes in live games than I do online, so this might have something to do with the quality of players I run into and how I can adapt my game to the various levels...I play better against better players...against bad players sometimes I am up a creek...

I am about a break-even player online but in live tournaments/cash games I end up doing much better...at first I thought it was nothing but the trend continues on...

You lose more in 1 day then i make in a year....

Darnit, another hour wasted. I'll be reading a thread, see Flushgarden's avatar, and then I come to and an hour has mysteriously disappeared....weird.

Generally it seems like bigger losing sessions after a series of smaller winning sessions. I see this in my own statistics.

What's the psychology behind this?

Mathematical justice or bad play?

I couldn't explain it. A guy who plays live poker for a living loses at online poker doesn't make sense to me. I doubt it's mathmatical justice as DN would lose money in live play aswell, maybe its just some extreme variance or becoming bored of playing online and going on a few tilt sessions.

Why?

It's neither, it's the law of numbers and that catch all phrase. That's Poker. I had the weekend of my life this past weekend, raking in almost 785,000 at local cash games. Now the other night in a local neighborhood game for $5 buy in and 40 chips winner take all I got my rear booted all night long. The cards will come and go the only thing is will you still be around when the good ones start coming to you. I was playing very aggressive the other night but not getting my normal cards and I got my rear handed to me. The difference between the pros and ams is the ability to hold out for that hand that sends another player packing. Cards is cards and no limit holdem is all that is pure.

If you ain't raisin, you better be foldin!!!!!!


Tell em Daniel, holler at you next week.

Very interesting...
