Pretty surprised DN says it's his own money considering the common belief that PS puts him in most events

gotta love how Negreanu says if people want to rebuy unlimited times it's fine etc etc but he was on the wsop committee to get rid of rebuys because you can essentially "buy a bracelet"

It is his money. They pay him. He does what he wants with it. He gambles wins gets paid more enters more events.

Its not hard to see where they get thr money. Most have hit huge live scores, or are sponsored, or are big cash winners, some sell pieces.

That said, a good chunk of this field will go broke at some point hard.

Also highly sponsored pros and nosebleed cas winners can play these and writeoff the losses. Wont kill them if they are raking.

the plugs are growing in nicely

Daniel will always be a true 5 star ambassador for poker

good for him for staying positive, giving honest reviews, and putting himself out there for better or worse.

That takes a lot of balls

as annoying and self-indulgent as he can be at times, the man is a class act across the board, and we as poker players should thank our lucky stars to have him as our 'spokesman'

you do realize re-entering has nothing to do with brm? it's like playing different event. If you were rolled for a previous one, you're rolled for it again (unless somehow those few BI meanigfully affected your br, in which case you should propably reconsider your brm). Also, stuff like "lol, 500k down to win 550k, wtf" also doesnt make much sense. He didnt cash in 4 100k events, he cashed in 5th for 550k, pretty standard stuff i guess?

I think the huge difference is obviously that if you have a big roll even if % wise its irresponsible to buyin like this, in absolute sense the money is less of an impact compared to buying in to big with a 100K roll.

I mean... you can still afford breakfast in the morning if you lose 250K on a 3million roll, and i'm quite sure none of these guys really have bigger % at stake roll/buyin wise either by having a bigger roll or selling alot of pieces.

So Daniel made a 10% profit on his $500k buy-in. But it's probably worth it to him because the GPI awards an absurd number of points in super-high rollers. That's how Shemion beat out Daniel for POY last year. GPI really needs to rework its formula if these sort of tournaments are going to continue.

Do people really think Daniel is contracted for an unlimited, elastic budget to play whatever tournaments he wants? Or more likely he is paid x-amount per year and has to budget his own tournament play out of that amount?

I have no idea the terms of Daniel's deal, but logic would dictate that the reality is closer to the latter scenario (Stars pays him x-amount, he pays y-amount for his poker buyins).

Generally, in the Asian cultures, this is done as a courtesy to others. Most of the time, it is because the person wearing the mask is sick and doesn't want to spread his/her germs. I wish more people would consider it when they are sick. It is actually quite polite for him to do so.
