Oh my, I cannot believe how my poker idol Daniel has stooped tonight on twitter.

He actually got into a twitter exchange with a family member of an ISIS victim from Nice, France who is mourning/hurting very much. And fearful of losing more love ones in France due to ISIS attacks happening frequently there.

They were upset at Daniel for twitting about low percentages of deaths due to ISIS versus car crashes and making light of the very real threat of terrorism. Doing this to one of his own fans that lost a loved one to terrorism who told Daniel they were very hurt by some of the other things he also said down playing ISIS.

When fan told Daniel all this and that they were hurt by his tweet. Daniel refused to apologize for his hurtful tweet.

I am so lost as I placed all my hope and trust in this man you call Dnegs. He is so hateful and bitter towards anyone that disagrees with him.

I need counseling help. Please (calling Mr. Wong)

DNegs is well known to be a self-centred, insensitive man - no need to twist events to further reinforce the point!

[1] Mr.saint.laurent HASN'T lost a member of his family. He wrote that a friend was killed in the Nice attack.

[2] Then he speaks about ISIS killing our "childs, our friends, our culture" by "childs" he means children of France & not his own child.

[3] Mr.saint.laurent didn't ask or demand an apology from DNegs, thus DNegs didn't refuse to apologise [as you put it]

[4] You can see DNegs reply below - you have mischaracterised their twitter exchange & I see no evidence from this that he is "hateful & bitter towards anyone that disagrees with him" [as you put it]

Why Stars continues to put up with his narcissistic garbage is beyond me.

I can't imagine Stars likes one of their main front men being a douchebag political hack, all with the solid reasoning of the 8th grade educational level he obtained.

Fair enough, but did you see where she said she lost a loved one and that Dnegs tweet hurt her very much and that she is scared of more attacks on love one/friends. Daniel did not apologize for his insensitive tweet. Geez, we are talking about a real ISIS victim friend here.

As for disagreeing with Daniel, look at many tweets from some of his fans that support Trump. Many are insulting the very people that helped make him a poker celebrity.

He openly condems hate, yes openly admits he hates Trump and some of their supporters?

I lost my idol and savior. I am lost and need help and guidance to get through this let down by Dnegs. (calling Mr Wong)

Daniel's delivery is so abrasive, he's unbearable even for those of us who support the same candidate.

That twitter conversation's horrendous. He's implying that people are stupid/irrational, and the other person's implying that he's ignorant. What are those two trying to accomplish, engaging in a conversation where there's so little respect for the other person.

What's with the "she"? "Mr.saint laurent" is Francis LaLianne a male croupier, accountant & poker player. And yes I saw the other Tweets from HIM - I quoted part of one that you've just told me about. It's as if you didn't read my reply to you. It's as if you didn't read the original tweets very well.

So what? That is irrelevant to your original inaccurate reportage. I am asking you to stick to the truth & curb the hyperbole. Please don't write "hateful & bitter towards anyone that disagrees with him" with reference to his ONE tweet to Francis where he says he's sorry to hear re Francis' loss of a friend killed in Nice. Tone it down & try to be factual in your ridiculous over the top posts.

I think diving into political matters is a pretty large mistake for a public figure. The sides are so polarized, the very mention of supporting one candidate over another instantly makes about 30% of people hate your guts (30(R)/30(D)/40(I) let's just say). Political affiliations have basically become like God, abortion, and guns. You either believe in those things or you don't, and no matter what anyone tells you on the matter you're never going to change your mind.

To me, the most refreshing person is he/she who just throws their hands up in the air, realizes both sides are horrible and out to screw you, and just tries to live the best life they can while being handicapped by the powers that be. Nobody in Washington has, or ever will give a **** about you.

Daniels latest blog post is called ''Spin and Go to Barcelona!''

Quote:
Season 13 of PokerStars’ European Poker Tour begins this August in my favorite city out of all the cities I've visited in Europe, Barcelona. This tournament is always well attended and it's clear that I'm not alone in my assessment of Barcelona as a great vacation spot.

The location for the event couldn't be more perfect. You walk outside the hotel and are right on the beach. Tons of restaurants all lined up with a wide variety of cuisine from middle eastern to Japanese. If you like to party, the clubs right on the beach are, in a word, insane! Things are a bit different than what you may be used to if you are an American going for the first time. If you show up to a club at midnight you may think to yourself, "Where is everybody?" By 1am until sunrise, the places are all just packed and the energy is unlike any you've experienced. Have I mentioned how much I love Barcelona?

The reason I wrote this blog was in part to tempt you on making it out to Barcelona, and the other was to offer you an idea as to how to get there. I get that not everyone has the bankroll to just plop down a big chunk of cash on flights, hotels, and then a main event buy in. If that's you, then check this out: Spin N' Go

For as little as 10 Euro, with a little bit of luck, you could win a package worth enough money to cover all your expenses as well as a main event seat where you could win life-changing money.

This promotion ran for last season's EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo and it was a huge success! There were 121 spin and go qualifiers in the event making it the largest EPT Grand Final we have had in a very long time. What really stuck out to me as different, or special, about this event, was the amount of new players I'd never seen before; some playing their very first live event!
Knowing that there would be an added boost to the prize pool thanks to the promo, all the biggest names in the game made it out there to take advantage of the added value. After all, it's not like these Spin & Go players all played like Jason Mercier!

I don't say that to be patronizing, but obviously professional players are going to have a better chance at reaching the final table. Having said that, one of the Spin N' Go qualifiers DID make the final table! His name was Asan Umarov and he turned €10 into €305,660 with all expenses paid.

Throughout the week I ran into so many new players playing their first event that I had an idea, since I'm sure a lot of the qualifiers were really nervous playing in the EPT Grand Final main event, I thought it would make sense to do an exclusive Q & A session with the qualifiers before the main event started to give them that extra boost of confidence and help them out a little with their poker game.

Poker's health and growth is only as strong as the base of recreational and new players who come into the game. When I heard about the Spin & Go promotion, and then saw how great it worked out in Monte Carlo, I wanted to make sure any and everyone interested knew about it. Good news is, there is still enough time to qualify on PokerStars. The bad news is, you better get cracking because it ends July 31st!

If the Twitter fan is true, DN needs to seriously take a look inwards. Justifying your pov when someone was directly involved and lost their life to a terrorist is beyond comprehension. I truly feel sorry if he feels that way.

Actually that article is 5 years old and thus before Adelson's alleged 100 million dollar donation to the Republicans this year and before Trump chose the strongly anti-gambling Pence to be VP.

Yeah but at least Renegs is human. Hitlery's thousand pill stare and vacuous robot smile put her squarely on the Uncanny Valley's rock wall somewhere between a high-end sex bot and a chucky doll. Really terrifying stuff but natural clickbait at the same time.

Is Glantz calling DNegs a liar or will DNegs pull a "depends on what the definition of is is" defence to say he wasn't?

One of the problems with random posters making claims with absolutely no evidence. Matt is clearly joking here. I am certain of this. Not that you should believe me either since I too am a random poster.
