Do you actually think Daniel is favored to win the match? If yes, you're dumb. If no, your post is both dumb and pointless

NVG is such a cesspool. The Daniel fanboys feeling themselves bc he's up 4 or 5 whole buyins is gonna age really well, I'm sure

How difficult was it to bet on Doug and why are you happy he's losing?

Eh, I think there's a reasonable conversation to be had about how people have been reacting (on both sides) to each individual session. Obviously Doug has an edge, probably a super big one, but what was the point of this match at all if any outcome where Doug wins is undeniable proof of that, and any outcome where DN wins/outperforms expectation is just an example of this not being a big enough sample size of hands and/or variance?

I'm rooting for Doug fwiw, so hardly a " Daniel fanboy", but ya.

Enough people feeling Dnegs is the favorite now, so if anyone wants to bet I’m willing to put my $1k on Doug winning to your $3k. Escrow needed ty.

Was Daniel running hot or better player for the last session?

it's hard to say because we can't see hole cards. if you believe daniel though in the session before this one where he lost he was running very bad and ran into straight over straight and flush over flush multiple times, then the one time he had flush over flush the board ran out 4 to the flush and he couldn't play for stacks.

Welcome back to the thread. Funny how you disappeared when Polk was winning. You're implying you think DNegs will win. We should bet on it. 4:1 ok with you?

Can someone just post the biggest hands here for people, who don't have 2-3 hours to watch a stream? Or is there a video on YT with timestamps?

Stupid question, does playing GTO allow for adjustments?
Nobody plays near GTO, they can only try to understand the GTO principles and apply it in their games as much as it's humanly possible.

Lol people actually think Daniel is a favourite now, only because he won a few buy ins yesterday running like a god.

Session for session Daniel has won 4 sessions and Doug has won 3. I think if the match continues to be a back and forth battle in this early phase that's going to amount to a big positive factor for Daniel in the long run. Doug's biggest weakness IMO is his mental game. He's already quit poker once, and talked about how he gets anxiety from playing now, and he almost quit poker before his career really took off. Doug also has a lot more to lose with his claim to fame being the #1 NLHEHU player and being the face of the biggest training site. Not being able to put together consistent wins can be pretty frustrating

Doug being hussled by Daniel and Perkins - didn't see that one coming

I'd look into this "team" Daniel has supporting him, if I was Doug.

Nice play Perkins..

Never underestimate your enemy, in this case a bunch of sicko millionaire who made a living out of exploiting people (sounds probably too harsh, but there not exactly healthcare personnel).

That doesn't mean there's a master plan, where Daniel is a favourite in the HU game: Daniel's +EV play with his challenge is simply allowing himself a crash course to remain relevant in the digital poker world of the future. If you would consider Dnegs as a company, he's doing something very smart, a transformation to be prepared for the future, in a very efficient amount of time (+ publicity).

But that's besides the point, which was: Never underestimate your enemy

Agreed, would be great if Joey done a youtube highlights thing, or Fees...

Lowest price Doug was bet was 1.1 and DN was 3.2, when was DN a 2/1 shot???...1.24 Doug seems value.

Polk getting crushed by an old live pro at nosebleed HU is a fitting way for his poker career to end. Ryan Fee losing a bunch of money too is just the icing on the cake. Get these snake oil salesmen out of here.

+1 for Kevin and Kaki. Kev I like a lot, fun dude and child-like enthusiasm for poker, wish I still had that haha. And with Kaki they make a good combo, hope they come back.

Anime-Joey and the kid is good too. Wish they talked more of the hands as the kid is by far the best at commentating on high-stakes HU, and Joey obv knows what to ask. Do understand that since Joey been taking time off people wanna hear whats up thou.

Other options I´ve muted pretty quick.

Great to see the challenge being competitive and interesting so far!

Yes of course DN and Polk are way better at poker than Blizerian but Polk asking if Blitz is man enough to play him is pretty funny considering he'd only play DN in the one form of poker he specializes in, HU NL online (save for 200 live hands)
