Funny guy.

Pretty dumb.

Where did that 21mm come from though?

jfc

Why is Nolan Dalla still relevant in the poker world?

The 21 million figure is completely inaccurate, because he only got to keep about 5-10% of that, if that.

And look at the other side of the coin - he could have easily bricked each tournament on the bubble and been a massive broke degen. Variance can be cruel.

what a sick troll

Cause you would know.

Well it's been widely documented that he only had something like 10% of himself in the One Drop, so yes I would know.

Does anyone no what Dan actually had? I'd bet he had at least 200k. He apparently took that first mini one drop 100% himself and said that the piece he took in the big one was really reckless.

Like a really bad version of Lewis Black

I believe the most reported number following his win was that he had 22% of himself

yeah, you are a complete idiot

he def had more than 10% of himself in all the other mtts that he won. he also made all kinds of money online prior to this mtt heater, so dont think he would have been a "broke degen" if he bubbled all of those mtts.

from what i have heard, he had more than 10% of himself in the 1 drop as well.


so yeah, the heater is real.

Olivier said he talked Colman into playing the 1 drop and putting up a decent chunk so I'd assume he had 15-20% and Olivier and Haralobos prob had 25-30% each also.

Then Colman and Olivier chopped the high roller if assume Colman had a big piece there also....I'm sure he's doing just fine

So you have read/heard what other people who might/might not know have said/written.

Based on this hearsay, you do not know.

Does Colman take a dump without first checking with Busquet? I know he doesn't dress himself.

+2

I thought that position was straw man. Now I see people really think that way.

I support poker and think that Colman is wrong, but for totally different reasons to this.

Hmmm, I've never actually watched Nolan Dolla video before. I have read some articles. He has written some pretty good articles. This is not that.

Whether or not he or Colman is right (poker bad or good) is not really the point in this video.

Neither of them define good or bad.' Well, Colman never speaks, but his reason is never stated.

And Dalla offers no reason for poker being "good" other than this one person made $21 million doing it.

He does not even really define good.

Basically, hey this 1 guy who is young became a millionaire; he says it is bad but now he is a millionaire.

I don't get the argument. Drawing board please.




EDIT:

Also, can someone fact check him on all his pro sports references. No pro sports player ever made $21 million in 4 months? Maybe not. But how many made a hell of a lot more in guaranteed salary over 6 years?


Also ... it does not bother me ... but if you are going for the PR thing, I would suggest not doing the interview in front of a bar.



Double Edit:

I watched the end. He is dramatic.

you get up 22 and a half million dollars, any ******* in the world knows that puts you at a level of f-- you.

"poker is a dark game because it exploits individuals with gambling problems and sometimes makes them lose everything" -dan colman
"b-but you can win LIFE-CHANGING MONEY!!!1" -nolan dalla

nolan pls

Is that a legitimate Colman quote? Was that his issue with it? Which led to this nonsense.

eh, dolla is quite explicit in the video as to what he thinks colman thinks it is that makes the game bad ("he has insinuated that [poker is] self-destructive"). but then he goes on to state that because you can win life-changing money, the game is good. he also seems to think that if colman thinks the game is bad ("self-destructive"), then he must also hate the money, which doesn't make much sense either.

i'm unhappy that i spent the time watching the video and responding to the thread.

it is not a legitimate colman quote but it legitimately was one of his arguments.

That is interesting. Honestly, it is hard to not respect a guy who goes out there and says that. It is a little easier when someone nudges you and says he already won millions.

Still, maybe I'm stupid, but I have some feeling that he means it. If so, charitable donations, Dan .. and you need to do it this year (assuming you won the money this year) ... you will need to be able to offset it from your taxable income this year. You need to give it to charity now, this year, or you are going to get hit on the whole thing with tax ... then if you give it away next year ... well you paid tax on it first (that just means money disappears ... you could have given that disappearing money to charity)


Did he win it this year?



EDIT:

I am assuming he is an American citizen. True?
