Yes there’s nothing quite like going from one man child in the challenge to two.

I've enjoyed watching the challenge to the point where it's inspired a first post in years.

Just wanted to congratulate Dnegs on an amazing Tuff Fish impersonation. It actually made me look up some of his videos getting torn apart by Empiremaker2 on Party Poker. They are still every bit as good as they were back in the day!

And Doug is a funny man - whether you like him or not.

I've got a Word document with about $400k worth of total bad beats and I've probably only sucked out on people in about 5k worth of pots lifetime so thats how I do my pokerv graphs.

Sounds familiar?

Maybe it's because I'm British - I just enjoy sarcasm, wit and dry humour.

Your post is none of those things.

I was disappointed to learn that Joey is a "Chipoltay" guy.

Love you Joey but the T comes before the L!

Ya I didn't think my opinion of him could get any lower, but ofc it does. He really is the nut low.

When Doug put that voice on, made the face and launched into the ****** impression - that was all it took for me to lose it. Classic Doug

Daniel really does make himself look silly with all this lucky talk. I don’t know much about chart analysis but I’d like to see some sort of definitive review of the variance across the challenge after all this is done so he can just stfu.

At this point I think there’s a small chance DNegs is delusional enough where the PR stuff gets even uglier and he somehow ends up getting goaded into more hands - because surely the variance has to flip - right?

Dneg doing well its a miracle he's not down millions by now. In the battle of the douche bags its hard to know who to support.

It was definitely interesting Doug saying he was the one who was running bad.

It would be pretty embarrassing for DN if that was true, both because it would expose his lack of understanding of variance but also that he can’t make it relatively close even when running that much better than Doug (as Doug does imply DN is running significantly better).

I can’t wait to see what the reality is when all’s said and done.
