cant tell if dumb troll or really really dumb non-troll

No, but he has admitted he is a compulsive gambler on a welfare program who is supported by his family, so he has no right to criticize danfiu when dan is an extremely successful poker player.

Also the fact he's never even posted a photo of himself online makes it even more out of line to criticize the physical appearance of someone putting himself out there doing a video interview for free on the internet

It was an extremely rude and mean comment to make even to your worst enemy, let alone someone who previously was your "idol"

I could explain clearly why you're dead wrong on nearly every pt in that post, benni, but I don't think it would do any good and will probably prompt you to make more long and incoherent posts.

I've gone out of my way not to try not to be mean to you and try to tell you exactly why people are reacting negatively to you and give you best advice I can. You keep ignoring it and doing exact same stuff

I don't hold it against you. It's like a dog you adopt from the rescue shelter, and every time you leave the house, it urinates and defecates on the carpet. You can't really get angry at the dog, because you know it just doesn't know any better and can't help itself.

But at a certain point, you lose patience and stop trying to train it and stop letting it stay in the house

It was an extremely rude and mean comment to make even to your worst enemy, let alone someone who previously was your "idol"

What world do you live in? So lol

benni why dont you come on a podcast and then see what people have to say about you

A perfect world

My take: if someone does or says something you think is inappropriate, it's ok to tell that person in no uncertain terms exactly what you think they did wrong and what an a-hole you think they are for doing that.

But imo, unless perhaps someone has hit you below the belt similarly a few times first, making harsh personal attacks is uncalled for, even on someone who deserves it and especially not anonymously to someone you don't know on internet.

Edit: Although re-reading I guess Benni's comment is a lot milder than I remembered. And "worst enemy" not right phrase probably, "someone who you don't like much who's kinda been a jerk to you" is more what I meant

lol guys why are you pretending that any1 even cares about bennis opinion? guy is clearly not the brightest person in the world to word it nicely.

to be honest, i was quite disappointed that you had danfiu on your podcast joey. people like him only care about themselves and are horrible for the games. why should this community care about him? dont even understand why he posts here, he clearly doesnt give a **** about his peers.

+1

But he is fat and benni offered advice to start working out.

oh because benni cant handle his finances and is loser in poker he has no right to criticize someones unhealthy appearance? Danfiu cant be touched because he is succesful?

In a perfect world, everyone would ignore Benni's stupid posts and move on.

I can't believe people ever respond to Benni tbh...

Benni , you are cool bro, people realizes everything you say is true.

Aaaannndd no, i wont lend u 20k

We want Benni in the next live podcast!!! Joey let it happen!

+1,but the next podcast guest will be Stickyrice, which will be brutal epic

I like Joey and enjoyed some of the early podcasts but does anyone else find the majority of the new ones very boring?

I watched Danfiu one for like 5 mins and it was just savagely uninteresting. No offence to Danfiu but he's just fairly pointless to be on a podcast, isn't particularly personable, wasn't dripping in charisma.

I think for the podcast to remain interesting Joey should really focus on getting interesting people on there, rather than every 2/4+ reg from stars.

u should do one and talk about live poker that would be of great interest to me

It's not like danfiu isn't aware of his appearance or that going to the gym is a way to get in better shape. Would it be polite if you meet some person for 1st time irl and see he's heavy and say, "Wow, you're fat, bro. You should go to the gym."

As another example, if someone came on the podcast speaking and acting effeminately, would it be ok if someone wrote: "You're so gay bro, just come out of the closet. You used to be my idol but I don't want to look up to a c---sucker"

Good point.

A change is mostly only made by extreme circumstances.
Telling him nice he is fat wont help but saying it on public and making it uncomfortable can.

Therefore i helped danfui for free. He should thank me.
I made him aware of a problem he has but was not aware.

Why is it a good point?
Why arent you fair?

You are clearly not neutral here.
Why on earth should i listen to someone who is clearly is on the side of danfiu.

The same is true about someone who is against danfiu.

Just make argumentative agumentations instead of subjective and preference based ones.

Flash forward 1yr, to a thin and smiling danfiu on the joeycast:

"Wow dan, you're looking good, how'd you manage to lose so much wait?"

"Joe, I owe it all to benni19. I wasn't aware I was overweight and that going to the gym would help me lose weight until he posted his 'tough-love' response after our 1st podcast.

Knowing I used to be benni's idol and he was disappointed w/ my appearance crushed me. So I decided to watch my diet and work out like crazy so I could regain his respect. Thank you for what you did, benni, thank you so much."

can we just ban him already

So there is no problem with putting the finger into the problem but about the argumentation of it.
About respecting him. Putting him on a podest because he reached something in the interwebs.

Why? Why should i threat him different than others or myself?
Why making a difference?
Just because in your world and from your point of view and values it has to be done that way?

How fair and mindful.
Who gave you the autority to make the rules?
The boardrules dont make those differences. In them everyone is equal.

I did not say i want to see myself in the mirror.
Nor the opinion of others about me. Nor give others the chance to judge me.

The main reason though is because i dont see a legitimation of me beeing on a podcast about pokers. I for sure would be a good example for how the others side of online grinders look like or behave like or is like.

When there are sucessfull guys there have to be loosers to.
Therefore i am just on the wrong part of the valued place.

Also you look like gaylord joey but i look even more gay(feminin) unfortunately.
