he can hit a diamond Q,J, or 3 on river to win possibly so that is 17 outs including the cards daniel has then he has 16. There is a chance he has less outs but also a chance Daniel had a combo draw and his 3 is the best hand. I dont think he is folding unless he wants to abuse the bubble but he seemed to be playing pretty straightforward(though he is aggro to begin with) and not going out of his way to keep guys in.

DN suffers from "I'm a special snowflake" syndrome.

"Here's why it's the correct way for every one else, but not for me, let me educate you."

right after posting a wall of text full of buzzwords that he (maybe) doesn't understand all that well, and technical analysis that is far from obviously correct, if it is correct at all.

OK, I'm done.

There were lots of posts and a few asked me questions so I'll try to be brief in answers:

As for asking me every exact hand I had in each spot, I think I'm going to have to tell you guys to wait for TV to find out. I did tell Daniel after the day each hand he was interested in knowing.

The final hand, Daniel flatted preflop and check/shoved a normal sized c-bet from me. I called pretty fast with my 12 (11) outs. He actually read me extremely well all day and the only mistake he really made was calling me down when i had KK and he said out loud "You can't have it every time."

As for preparation, I legitimately haven't thought about what I'm going to do at all. This whole entire tournament I was just taking it one day at a time and not looking ahead. I know a lot of people who have went through this process before and I'll likely ask them what they did and go from there.

A lot of the guys who play fantasy are pro poker players like him it is not like he is someone who barely played poker and binked a seat he had over a million in earnings prior to the main.

Yes I'm tracking that. But Draftkings is spending a ton of ad money and there are 171,570 entries in the PGA contest this week. Yes, I know it's multi entry but still that's a **** ton. It's way for people to satellite into WPT/WSOP events who already play and may bring in people who don't.

If I were the chip leader of the november 9 I would def stay off the radar. And take some me time before my 7 figure life changing payday.

Maybe a dumb question but does the WSOP pay you min cash or do you have to wait until the FT play has concluded?

The November 9 all get the mincash straight away. It's referred to as the 'Kessler' payment.

Not going to answer any financial questions.

I have no clue what my approach will be but I think I have it in me to become an ambassador. I've done at least 30 interviews in the last 3-4 days and people have told me I've come off really well, which is really nice to hear.

I'm #teamhille

He got a lot of coverage in 2013 and I'm sure they'll give him a lot of TV time in the build-up this year.

A lot of people were hating on Joe in the other thread. The guy has over 7k posts on 2p2 and is already posting here the day after the main event. Seems like a cool dude to me, and happy that a fellow 2p2er is in line for a big paday. I'll be rooting for him , good luck joe.

He would have been the one doing the promoting. Easily, talk shows, news interviews, etc.

Sucks that Kelly Minkin and Negreanu are out. Now, its up to the Senior Citizen to create a possible mini-Moneymaker effect.

Lots of Baby Boomers out there going into retirement and identifying themselves as Seniors.
I doubt it they all played and deposited easily and were raped monetarily back in 2002-2006(very few played after the UGEA). Any new wave of players will be people that have never played online before ie college kids or house wives.

If the final 9 did a chop based on ICM, here is the breakdown. Note last year's numbers as well. 6 will do better based on a chop, 3 will do worse.



I note the odds to win as well based on chip counts only and equal skill level of players.

How? Please explain. Go ask 1000 random people if they are going to start or play more poker if DN final tabled or shipped and all 1000 would say no. Very few people outside of 2p2 and the choice center know or care who DN is. If I had the time I would advertise DN blow up dolls on here. You are really detached from reality .

Since Daniel's out I've kinda lost interest so I'm happy with that.
