"Was just talking to Jungleman and introduced him to Carlos Moretensen- he never heard of him. Then I drew Carlos in rd 1." about 4 hours ago via ÜberTwitter

You still wanna make that bet?

LOL... you really do talk some BS! Theres near to zero credabillity in what you're saying. For 1, You hardly even make any sense!!!

Yes I do still wanna make the bet.

Jungleman (Daniel Cates) used an anonymous identity up until recently to which DN didn't even know who he was back when he anoymous. DN is currently playing in the same tournament as Jungleman (WSOPE Heads up) so much like everyone else of course DN is going to know who Jungleman is now and its no surprise there talking considering there playing the same tourny!!! (Btw Pokerstars pros aren't allowed to play on Full Tilt site + Jungleman is largely an online grinder on Full Tilt, I dunno but I just thought this might play a part in the side bet)

garthalgar, sorry but imho ur wrong

NVG never ceases to amaze.

Yes, that's right. Just like everyone from Italy is Italyn, everyone from Hungary is Hungaryn, everyone from France is Francen, everyone from Germany is Germanyn, and everyone from Mexico is Mexicon.

So does this mean that Tom Dwan is "durrrr?"

I'll lay you 2/1 on anything upto 2k that DN has not played with Daniel Cates (that DN is aware of).

Huh? I don't get it, it just stated that he lost 74k against him on Stars but you still don't think they played each other? What's your point, that w00kiez is not Jungleman's PS handle?

"Jason also has a unique look about him, and let's face it, that matters. "

What does daniel mean by this? Is he saying that having a cool or unique look has a benefit in actual poker play? Elicits folds or something? Or is he talking about sponsorships?

I think he is implying DN doesn't know w00kiez is jungleman

Amit Makhija, aka 'amak316' also seems to have confirmed this:

First Tweet:

"Beat isildur in the first round, was a fun match he's a nice guy! I play @melanieweisner next round. Keeping the run good in London going."

Next Tweet:

"Tough matchups today but ran well and played good to beat Viktor Blom and @melanieweisner in the 10kgbp high roller at wsopE. Was very fun!"

LOL at 'clearing' it with Blom. Why the hell would Daniel care what Blom thinks? Just think about that for a second.

Wow, people are dumb.

Just because someone is a pro at one time, doesn't mean they can't/don't play on the other. They just aren't allowed to publicize it, nor reveal they do. I could think of a bunch who are pros, but play on both of the big two.

Boosted J, Scott Fischman, Scott Clements, Brian Hastings, just to name a few. I could keep going, but I'm going to get a dumb response anyways.

shhhHHHHHH!!!

know one is supposed to know this.

Remember what I wrote in the very beginning of the blog. This has very little to do with ranking players based on skill. It's just not all that relevant to the list. Being skillful enough to have staying power is all that's required. It's about popularity to the masses and my list of 5 will be very popular to TV audiences in the future for various reasons.

I have not only played with all of the people you mentioned, I've also had lengthy conversations with each of them, including Blom and recently Daniel "wooki3" Cates.

I liked Cates a lot, but based on my read, he hasn't done enough to warrant a position in the top 5. He has no online deal, no TV appearances, and I don't expect him to be all that talkative when he plays on TV.

Galfond is one of my favorite people in poker personally and I thought he came across very well when he played on The Big Game and I'm sure he'll get invited back again. I actually thought he was over 25, but even still, I don't think he has as much "wow" factor as the list I created in terms of being a TV player.

My list wasn't "The top 5 players that 2+2 NVGers cream their pants over" :-) it was based on my many years coming across players who I think the media/public will be drawn too a la Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari, Tony G, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Luke Schwartz, Mike Matusow, etc.

I might not be the best poker player in the world, but I think I'm as qualified as anyone to evaluate talent in terms of how popular they are going to be to the masses.

Also, Scott Siever I thought may have been over 25, but if not he certainly does warrant an honorable mention based on his playing style and easy going table presence. He's a fun loving guy with a somewhat unique look- the Seth Rogan/Jonas Hill love child look :-)


Anyway, I created the list because I thought you guys might enjoy my take on it, and I think it's a solid list.

As for me calling myself Canadian, dude, are you for real? I was born in Canada and am a Canadian citizen raised by Romanian parents... if I called myself American, shouldn't that tilt you even more since it would be a flat out lie?

what's cool and appealing might have changed in the last 10 yrs, keep that in mind. You know as well as anyone that what's in and what's not will change from year to year when it comes to the media and the general public. And what might not appeal to a certain demographic will appeal a lot to another.

I think people have an equal interest in watching a "non-tv guy" like dwan play because he has qualities that make up for it. and people will actually respect his skill level instead of just being known for blah blahing at the table all the time and coming across as a huge douche (like some of the guys you mentioned). It's going to be the same for guys like jungleman and co.

Read this and this can tell you that it can be Viktor 100% sure http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=260

I enjoyed it, but can you clear up the blom/isildur1 reference?

Also, i cant imagine you in a fight. What happened that got you so angry?

Thank you Daniel!

never seen Blom before. He's cute

:x

You're one of those post readers who read the words they want too as well, huh?

DN's last post

"I have not only played with all of the people you mentioned, I've also had lengthy conversations with each of them, including Blom and recently Daniel "wooki3" Cates."

OMG NEGREANU XD XD XD

Thank you my friend, but that only makes me want Daniel to answer it more.
