I predict the following tweet from Daniel 15 years from today:

"Just folded to a guy who made a continuation bet on the flop, something I should have done in 2015 when I called a guy three streets who had KK and I finished 11th. I was a kid then and not ready to win then. I am ready now."

For the record, I'm not complaining very loudly about the WSOP.com coverage — especially after reading Tre-Fi's post. Considering what they have to do and what they're working with, I appreciate the effort. My previous post should be seen as constructive criticism and/or friendly suggestions for future coverage.

Lol, you couldn't be more wrong. And mega lol at the phrase "beast at tournaments." He will cash for $500k min now while he should have been out several times prior now, such a beast.

Spoiler:

He is a Poker Superstar, a lot of people here had moments with kidpoker, mine was during an Asian Tour in Manila, he was sitting to my right and i had to initially pretend i am not star struck but could not hold it and shook his hand, very down to earth white guy.

Rest nothing.....time for a powwow with Ivey and Cunningham in his trailer.

what are you talking about? you sound like an absolute amateur that thinks poker is all luck and anybody who runs good deep in the main has to just be the luckiest player alive. while this is SOMETIMES TRUE, as in the case of jamie gold and jerry yang, among others, joe is not in that group. hes not very well known to the public but the guy is a super crusher who looks to be on the heater of a lifetime. dont hate on the guy for running hot. just look some of his results below....and these are just his deep finishes in 2013 and 2014 alone! i cut and pasted these results from hendon. he has plenty of cashes in between, but these are his wins or near wins....

Someone needs to pump some serious cash into this new Poker Central thing, buy the WSOP from Caesars and use the rake to build great coverage.

Shouldn't McKeehen be calling with anything remotely callable there? He has like 180bb and the opportunity to knock out one of the most experienced players in the world.

Schwartz v. McKeehan final 2 would brought so much new trim to poker.

He's snapping the pictures from one of the monitors above the table for the spectators. Those screens show the feed from the camera above the middle of the table.

And just think of the sponsorship opportunities, maybe Dove Soap could pay Schwartz to use about 6 bars of their soap and take a shower.

This place would be miserable if Daniel Negreanu had been knocked out before lunch.

That open fold messed up Daniel's head, and empowered the other players at the table.

If the Choice Center taught that move, it should be insta closed permanently

j20s, you're saying if you and an amateur like me (who's never played above .05/.10 online and 1/2 live) played 1000 tournaments, you wouldn't be a big favorite to have better results?
