This. WSOP.com hosting prestigious bracelet events played for a lot of money with outdated software is the real problem here.

Raging by yourself at home. Pretty normal poker player act when playing online. It looks bad to outsider watching. That's about it..

I can tell you exactly how many things I've broken in my house over many years and millions and millions of hands. Exactly 0 things because I'm not throwing a tantrum like a toddler.

I mean Dnegs didn't actually break his computer lol. Pretty big difference between yelling out some f bombs and actually deciding to break your stuff b/c you fully lost control.

Ah yes, the life of every party is the guy throwing a temper tantrum when the Mikes Hard Lemonade runs dry.

Whatever prestige these bracelets have is going to be reduced by using them to market mid-high stakes online tournaments that only people in 2 or 3 states can play in.

I see both sides of it. Online bracelets have always felt silly, but it makes sense this year due to the unique circumstances, and it's not like the "prestige" of the bracelet was ever totally sacred. A lot of the old WSOP events in the 80s-90s had fields of 100-200 people. The WSOP gives out a lot more bracelets now, but the field sizes are a lot bigger on average and the player skill level at the top is much higher. It cancels out to some extent.

You have a valid point about the geographic restrictions though. Personally, I can't play any of this stuff where I am, and the COVID situation makes it problematic to visit NV or try to slip into Canada. I'm saving my poker money for future live tournaments instead of trying to camp out in some hotel room while virus cases are spiking in Vegas.

For those who say his reactions are normal:

NOT FOR SOMEONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE ONE OF THE TOP 5%!

Someone called Dnegs with a Canada maple leaf avatar busted out of a $500 turbo bracelet event ITM. CO with 6xBB open limped and Dnegs shoved 7xBB with K9o. The limper had AA. Dnegs busted shortly after. Not supposed to discuss strategy, but sort of interesting to see.

Yes, that guy would be pretty hilarious and preferable to you. I don't think you understand the concept of having a party. Ever been invited to one?

Does it make sense for a famous person to get a hair transplant? This is a cereal question super serious. What's the point of transplanting hair if everybody knows you've done it?

Also my scroll up button is stuck, so if you're still talking abt his nerd spaz attack then maybe your fibre optic should get cut 3 times a day, and we can see how cool and collected you become

Question is genuine. It's not braces innit? Fixing crooked teeth is generally acceptable, but is a hair transplant? Asking for a friend.

A bald person's greatest trick is convincing the world he loves being bald. So does getting a transplant as a famous counter act that? Or is it just saying "hey I miss combs"

All i know is ive been trolling danny for years asking about his hair because i am going thru a similar thing im 29 my hair is thin like his from early 2000's.

So even tho i was trolling him i was also kinda serious like is it hair plugs or transplant and he prolly does not run his IG but im glad he came clean last night in the random 10 minutes of his stream i happened to watch.

The only point i see to it is to make himself feel better on the inside and his wife prolly likes the hair better than bald but who knows alot of chicks like bald dudes.

dude, he looks much better with the plugs ainec as before he had that creepy circus carny vibe to him

personal appearance matters to most people, just like how a lot of famous people get plastic surgery after getting famous - look at pilot episode vs final season of basically any tv show and depsite them all aging quite a few years, nearly all are now better looking

the only weird thing would be if he straight up lied and said his hair magically grew back - he's been pretty transparent about it all

i'm no fan of dnegs either but you're not really being objective here nor looking at the greater sample of celebrity who commonly get far more drastic plastic surgery

I'm coming at this tablua rasa, and am really asking for honest replies. I am just asking if a hair transplant is equiv to braces or-as you pointed out-plastic surgery. You are absolutely right abt the only weird thing being if he lied. I hadn't considered celebrity plastics. I compared to braces, but plastics is a much better version.

The heart of my question is...is hair trans comparable to other celebrity "acceptable improvements", or is it a funny joke. If anyone has any funny jokes also lmk

Wayne Rooney (famous English soccer player) also got a transplant. He was very upfront about it. LeBron has done the same thing. He would naturally be bald by now.

I'm fortunate enough to not have this problem, but lots of dudes who lose their hair become extremely self-conscious about it and wear hats/take pills/get surgeries/etc.

I started losing my hair in my mid 20's. About 15 years ago I mentioned to my wife I was going to look into hair replacement. Her answer was perfect. "Why bother? You're already married." I buzz what's left of it short now. Daniel Negreanu's very own containment thread. All things Danny go here
