Cannot say I am a fan of Dutch. None of us would have known about Amanda's episodes except for Dutch! Fans will get mad if their pro marries a douche bag. He portrayed her as a total slut! Wow, happy I never dated a man like him! If Daniel is really happy, yep all the best to him!!

Uhhhh, did Daniel just say he made $160 million selling Full Contact Poker on Matusow's podcast (fantastic interview by the way)?

What is full contact poker ? Never heard of it so guessing this isn’t true ?

He said that was the agreed-upon sale price for FCP -- $160 million -- but the sale didn't go through because of the passage of the 2006 UIGEA.

Daniel also said that in the early days of PokerStars, then-owner Isai Scheinberg offered him a 3% stake in the company, but that Daniel didn't accept the offer because of Russ Hamilton's involvement with the company at the time. Apparently Russ Hamilton was already known as a shady character even back then, before the UB/AP/CEREUS cheating scandals.

Can't wait for part 2 of the podcast tomorrow. Episode 1 of the podcast (the actual first episode) was absolutely fantastic as well if you're interested in FTP around black friday.

I guess it's possible for 94% of marriages to end within ten years with (less than) 55% of those endings due to divorce, though that would need some really massive Dateline NBC-level death rates early in marriages. I don't see how "multiple marriages and divorces" would help bridge that huge gap, though.

Not to mention that if each marriage has a 45% chance of divorce annually, then way more than 55% of marriages will end in divorce within even two years, and nowhere close to 6% of marriages will last ten years.

TheFly is correct. Data is a tricky subject. However most basic data is taken from the 2010 Census. A new census in 2020 will be use then.

Some data is taken from other sources that have data of their own. You should be able to find almost all the data I referenced in the following video.

Do you have any data from actual sources?

Here's a CDC page with links to a study that shows figures nowhere close to the ones you mentioned, something like a two-in-three chance a first marriage will remain intact after ten years.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsfg/key_statistics/d.htm

So...good luck to Daniel!

So Daniel made the final table of the first WSOP open event, the $10K bounty turbo. He'll be in the black off the bat on his 'high' staking package.

10Ks fall under the midstakes package.

The formula listed in the terms and conditions was this:

Payouts = (Purchases - Processing Fees) x (Tournament Winnings/Tournament Buyins)

The estimated max buyins for the mid stakes package is $251,420.

Thanks for the correction. I wrongly assumed that a 10k buy-in would be above 'midstakes', and of course for Daniel it's not.

What the partners in the other 94% of existing marriages do, how frequently they do it (divorce or marry) could determine the validity or not of those quoted annual stats ....

How would remarriages (most of which would take place after 2008) reconcile that figure with the completely different posted CDC figures, the suggested 45% annual divorce rate, or a total 55% divorce rate?

Hi donk:

Iirc, wasn’t Negreanu married for a few weeks a bunch of years ago? And if that’s the case, it seems to me that the probability of a negative outcome to his new marriage has gone up.

Best wishes,
Mason
