About damn time. I've been lost in a world without anything to do for a week and change.

NOTE: There are no plans at this time for a second "live" session at the PokerGO Studio.

Here is what Daniel Negreanu told Matt Berkey and Christian Soto last Thursday:

“If it wasn’t for COVID and all that, and I could play weekly against Doug ‘live,’ I think that really benefits me significantly, right? For a lot of reasons. But because of COVID, [Doug] doesn’t want to go down there. I don’t want to go down there. The vaccine is almost here. So… who knows? Maybe after all that we might play some live…”

I believe that was certainly part of the reason.

Daniel is doing much better than most people think he is. If the big pots start to go his way, I suspect we'll be seeing Doug Polk back on the felt trying to make up some losses!

On another subject, if Republicans don't want to wear masks, I say we encourage them to express their freedom.

How is that? Is it Aussie dollars they are playing for or something? Otherwise everyone knows exactly how badly he is doing.

Man, I still don't know which of these douches to root for...thats why I didn't bet....These may be the two doucheyest guys in the business...even douchier than hellmuth I think...
At first, I was voting for Doug because of how much of a jerk dnegs is, but once Doug started pretending he was best friends with Daniel at the live session I realized this guy is the biggest phony out there, and I started rooting for DNegs... It's funny how daniel's canadian accent comes out more when he is super tilted eh hoser?... Man I still can't decide...These guys are just both such huge douches... It's like I'm rooting for both of them to lose. I think I'm rooting for. Rocky 1 type loss... Either way it turns out, us as the fans are the real losers here.

one would think with your handle that you'd see the best in these two guys rather than the worst.

One wouldn't play a highly publicized match for these stakes for the sake of learning and improving. Especially not someone like Negraneau who could have virtually unlimited access to poker training resources. Maybe it's 1% of the reason, while the other 99% is ego.

True I think I'm just coming down bro...

Otoh

I did learn a lot from Doug through upswing.

And DNegs shows us how far we can actually get in this game as a deep state shill, if we put our mind to it...if I was as deeply closeted as he is I don't know if I would be able to get a beard as good as Amanda and still be able to have Eddie no matter how much dirty money I had.

Still no clue who to root for in this tho.

How can you not root for dnegs? Doug having to face the realities of his own mediocre poker skills will be a good day.

Because if you reverse the two names in this post, it's a pretty sound assessment of this matchup, and he ends up in the same place.

Dnegs outplayed Polk today, played a pretty good session.

Dnegs has all of the momentum of the game so far and therefore the match in total. It's Dnegs match to lose at this point and quite frankly if Doug goes on to win the match at 25k hands at this point I think I speak for the whole community when I say that we'll all be absolutely shell-shocked.

Wat. Dnegs has been one of the greatest poker players playing for decades. He has immense talent over many poker variants, in tournaments and cash games. Doug was one of the best players... in one subsection of one variant... online... for a year or two, and that was a while back now. There's no comparison whatsoever. I don't know how people fall for Doug's propaganda so readily.

Bc poker players are nerds and polk is king of the dorks. Although dnegs outed himself as a spaz, so maybe he's trying to corner the bed wetting market
