So you don't play anymore, and know Dnegs is terrible at poker.

Yes

So presumably you have never successfully played professionally, and know that the former Player of the Decade is terrible at poker?

Which decade is that I looked it up and I’m getting reports from 2014. We’re supposed to be math people wtf.

No but seriously, we should probably learn from this great player who’s lost millions in tv cash games and still gets invited back in (presumably because the game wouldnt run otherwise)

Pretty sure that was GPI player of the decade, as the GPI started 10 years before.

You might want to look up what the word “decade” means.

Hint: it doesn’t even have to do with calendar years.

Really? Is the decade starting in 2003 a commonly accepted fact otherwise or is this gpi award beginning in 2003 something that was thought of because poker began getting popular then.

Let’s see if we can get the century to begin in 2021 so we can pretend we’re center of the universe.

Great to see that someone who doesn't play but watched poker on TV knows Dnegs is terrible at poker.

He clearly is not terrible at poker. I agree that he gets these big sponsorship contracts based on his past performance, personality, and willingness to toe the company line. He probably isn't a really top tournament player now.

However, that is different from he is terrible at poker or that you can look at his stream and tell he is making obviously donk plays.

Max Silver retired from the professional game today. I bet he doesn't view Daniel as 'terrible'.

Ok terrible is subjective that was my mistake we’re going with bad reg now.

Good luck to max silver in his future endeavors.

So you still didn’t bother to even check Wikipedia or Google to find out what a decade is or are you trolling?

A decade is a ten year period. Any ten-year period. It’s really not that difficult.

How is this even a question I knew that decade began before you or anyone else in the poker world did for that matter

A decade is a period of 10 years. The word is derived (via French and Latin) from the Ancient Greek: δεκάς, romanized: dekas, which means a group of ten. Decades may describe any ten-year period, such as those of a person's life, or refer to specific groupings of calendar years.

Any period of ten years is a "decade".[1] For example, the statement that "during his last decade, Mozart explored chromatic harmony to a degree rare at the time" merely refers to the last ten years of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life without regard to which calendar years are encompassed. Also, 'the first decade' of a person's life begins on the day of their birth and ends at the end of their 10th year of life when they have their 10th birthday; the second decade of life starts with their 11th year of life (during which one is usually referred to as being 10) and ends at the end of their 20th year of life on their 20th birthday

Do you think GG doesn't pay him for his buyins on GG ?

(I have no idea and do not know what his sponsorship deal is. Anyone have a copy ?)

His contract is not public information. Yes, gg pays his buy-ins..

Issnt fair to compair Dnegs to the best players in the world..

How hard some of the guyes in the top work at their game, dnegs is not even close.


Its like hes retired, said it himself, not beeing as hungry and hard working he was when he was young.. Living the life with new wifi ... Fair enought.


But the macho bs he does when he stream, omg its like watching a chihuahua barking at a rottweiler. its just cute

I don't know about retired. Even without the sponsorship, he probably could so well playing live tournaments. He probably isn't a top tournament player any more. However, that is better than Greenstein and Chan, who are grinding $20/40 limit holdem.

I agree he comes off as a jerk in the live stream with the way he dresses and acts. I also agree that his play isn't anything special.

Your second and third sentences contradict each other. Unless you’re a top tournament player, you’re not getting rich from playing live tournaments in a first world country like the USA. Certainly not to a level that supports his lifestyle.

I didn't say get rich or supports his lifestyle. He could make a living at it and likely do better than the former big names playing 20/40 limit and similar. He has money from beating tournaments so well a few years ago and from his sponsorship deals. He probably got at least $20 million from Poker Stars.

Fake news! Chan has been playing 5/5/10 PLO and 25/25 PLO at 52 Social every day for the past several weeks. I’ve personally played with him so quit making stuff up

I miss Greenstein

What happened?

As far as I know he realized it wasn't worth it for him to play tournaments at the current level, and he is grinding cash games, mostly limit and mixed games. I don't really understand why he seems to be playing mid stakes, because I thought he was beating the big mixed game at Bellagio with Brunson and Ivey and so on. I would think he could still beat fairly high stakes mixed games.

What happened is guys like him circa 2006 thought 7 figure poker incomes would continue forever..and they lived like it..then one day they woke up with no income and no assets..

Yep and I think he has said multiple times that he didn't anticipate tournament poker becoming so difficult. This was around the time he stopped donating 100% of his tournament winnings to charity.

I'm curious what sort of lifestyle Barry lived... doesn't seem like the type lol
