I just noticed a Mason M post. I just remembered he hates
D-Negs also. He must be loving this.

I actually think Daniels mistake is playing 2 tables. He maybe should
have started just playing 1 at a time. Doug is too complete on the
GTO and all that, and the speed is the difference. Doug is firing overbets
on the river super fast, something that would take a recreational player
lots of time to think over, but Doug knows all the spots and knows he's
balanced on the overbets, and he fires them off fast.

Not really much to see here. Doug's the online head up specialist, Daniel is the live probably tournament specialist. I think if they played a bulk of hands live that would be interested to see who wins. But in this format, Daniel is going to suffer

To me, what it seems like is this hybridpoker app only solved for 20% and 75% sizes, and so that's what DN is using. Why do people think he doesn't have hotkeys of some sort? He said he was using tabletamer in the live match

What makes you think HU live is any different to HU online? Live just allows variance to dictate who is the best rather than skill

Speed of play. Daniel would be less overwhelmed by timers and decision fatigue if this was all live.

But would still get slapped. Would just be slapped across 12months instead of 6weeks

Not sure if you're aware but the WSOP software doesn't allow hotkeys, software, or offer the ability to change the bet slider. So if you want to bet an amount that isn't "min", "1/2 pot", "3/4 pot", or "pot", you have to manually type it in.

His decisions would most likely be better because he wouldn't be as out of his element. But he would still get slapped, just for less bb/100.

Just think of it like this. Doug has seen so many different spots through his millions of hands of heads up that often his decision are basically muscle-memory. Daniel however has to think about lots of these spots and try to reason them out cause he's still learning. Having an extra minute or 5 every time that happens will certainly help his decision process.

I watched a fair bit of this and it seems that Doug was playing better than Danny. At the same time, the 8x889 hand was a 120,000 pot, which is more than the amount by which Doug leads. I think everyone (including Danny) agrees that was a terrible play on his part.

Somebody please check me on this, but do I remember correctly that Doug three-bet 32s? That seems unlikely to be correct unless Danny is overfolding to three-bets. I'm definitely no HU expert.

The weird layout where one player is at the top of the display on the left but at the bottom of the display on the right is tilting and makes play harder to follow.

This is actually a pretty interesting take. Could make sense depending on the action Doug has on sidebets

Something like that. Might've had some fun with him being a professional, public douche bag too.

If Dnegs is getting coaching, shouldn't he be playing practice sessions against decent HUNL players, 2 hour sessions with 2 tables to simulate actual conditions? If he hasn't been doing that, he should do that today.

I wonder if Daniel will quit if, or should I say when he'll be down 1M?
