More douche chills from Daniel on his vlog today. I'm amazed Marissa put up with him for so long. Imagine how obnoxious he must be in person. And I say that as a fan.

You can click on "I Want to ...", then on "File an Interactive (Online) Gambling Complaint, then take it from there.

Mason,

As it relates to this incident, I wonder if part of the issue is that the Floor isn't supposed to just jump into the middle of a hand unless called for by a player and/or dealer? So even though the Floor was standing right there, in this case the affected Player didn't say anything (can't fault him as that could give away information), and the dealer sat there as timid as a mouse, so what could the Floor do? Is it normal procedure for a Floor to jump into a hand if they see something if they haven't been called by the dealer or player?

Hi TheFly:

You're probably correct relative to the instant the incident happened. But it seems to me that many people have been complaining that the real issue is whether Hellmuth should have received some sort of penalty that possibly could be enforced at a later date.

Best wishes,
Mason

So happy to see Phil winning his 15th bracelet after DN laughed at him after he busted the main event. Karma is a b****!!!

Just finished 2nd place in a tourney after going heads up with 90% of the chips, lost all in with 70%+ chance to win 3 times in a row. I'll spare the details even though I want to share so badly. Punched a concrete wall and broke my hand on the way home. Hahahaha. Oh well, at least I can take solace in the fact that Phil Hellmuth with his A5o all in vs. KK got his 15th bracelet. This game, huh!

Also hey, I'm still +$300,000 ahead of DNegs this WSoP so that's also some solace.

Again, "Put up with him" takes two people, there's no right or wrong and they just had 2 people with meh amount of compatibility, I'm sure what you find obnoxious some person will find charming, he's just a relationship donk to have committed to a person that doesn't have the compatibility levels high and didn't have the balls to just call it mutually a day before it got to cheating etc.

He's handling the breakup like I'd say most guys, just makes the thoughts public - petty needling, being like a lost puppy reaching out to exes, dressing up in douchey clothes saying how single life is awesome, grieving not knowing what to do with his free time, rationalising how she wasn't good enough anyways (his list of vegan, dinner conversation etc. lol) A lot of this stuff has gone through most people's heads after a LTR ended, just stayed there. But this is why his Vlog is so popular

For anyone in the naturally malleable or voluntarily malleable categories I think that it is on balance net harmful.

But there are likely also to be many people who go to something like Choice Centre or to an Anthony Robbins seminar and *are* fully aware that there is an element of brainwashing going on, however, they are able to not be brainwashed and are able to cherry pick some of the insightful, clever and good things from it, of which there are definitely some, probably many.

Which category, malleable or cherry picking, DNegs is in?, I don't think we know.
Nothing's really black and white...you and everyone else is being subconsciously influenced at best and brainwashed at worst by the media, adverts and generally environment. I find at times purposefully using self-help to let brainwash me the other way is a good way just to "keep the balance" of the negative bias of the media etc. helpful

People generally vastly overestimate the capacity and power of their rational brain, almost everything you do is determined or heavily influenced by the unconscious part of it that you can only control indirectly by what you feed it, or very limited parts of it through intense focus and habits eyc. If you go to an 8 hour 3 day Tony Robbins seminar it's virtually impossible to "cherry pick" rationally only what you find useful, you will be influenced subconsciously whether you like it or not, regardless if you decide rationally otherwise.

Nobody and nothing is brain washing me, thank you. I question everything ...... can't you tell from how I am on this forum!

If I went to an Anthony Robbins seminar or to Choice Center I would be thrown out for picking a lot of holes in some of their stuff and for revealing some of the BS and dishonest elements of it.

I have been thrown out of high pressure sales technique presentations more than once before!

Yeah. How do you have that reaction in the moment for someone who is supposedly your friend?

Not that I think Daniel is that much of a friend to him. Daniel tries to low-key tear down Phil all the time.

I do think it's quite lame to keep launching these passive/aggressive barbs at Marissa.

Anyone know if Marissa has a twitter account or something and is responding or saying anything publicly, like DNegs is apparently so willing to do?

In Vlog 39 Dnegs goes on a rant on why he hates country music so much. It had nothing to do with the music itself. The snowflake actually hates country music because what is associated with it. i.e. the south and conservative views. He says it makes him angry. It probably infringes on his safe space. I'm no fan of country music myself but that is because I actually dont like the melodies themselves, not because of what is associated with it.

I used to be a huge Dnegs fan but he becomes douchier and douchier by the year.

There's such a thing as political lesbians, heterosexual women who exclusively date women for feminist reasons.

That's kinda what that reminds me of.

Low key? Daniel treats PH like dirt. I'm not a fan of either as people, but PH is mostly thoughtless towards others. DN is cruel on purpose.

i legit thought dnegs was pushing 50+and was experiencing some kind of old rich man syndrome / continuous midlife crisis. if he's still around poker in 20 years he'll have such an incredible rap sheet.

That was an involuntary sub-conscious laugh, IMO. Ol Danny boy hates that PH keeps winning while he keeps throwing millions of dollars (and prop bets) at the tables and keeps losing. His true self was exposed and people are starting to see through his public facade. Fact, NOT weak.
