Doug Polk's Challenge to Daniel Negreanu: Heads-Up NLHE Showdown (25k Hands) - Page 312 - Poker News

I think he's insecure about the idea of not having a hot ass wife. Now that he has acquired one of these hot ass wives, the ghost of his insecurity lingers in the form of using said hot ass acquisition to roast others, and I approve.

Dnegs keeps suggesting he wants a rematch, it seems unlikely that Doug will accept. As Dnegs is obviously not so far behind in skill terms... and Doug just doesn’t enjoy playing poker

I was on the fence but I don’t think someone who doesn’t enjoy the game is someone I want to win

Didn't Dnegs say himself that he has changed his strategy to jack up the variance?

It's a good idea at this point in the Challenge if he wants to maximize his chance of winning at the expense of his EV.

In fact most of the spots that lower his variance like not value betting light and not bluffing often are probably further off from GTO than a higher variance style.

Daniel's higher variance style is probably raising his EV in my estimation.

Where did you find this info? She seems pretty loyal. She cries when he loses a pot.

I was not disappointed to see Jerry Yang win. Jamie Gold, on the other hand, I would happily watch getting mugged in a parking lot.

He has an unlikable personality and he played the most aggravating televised hand of poker I have ever watched, the AA vs KK hand against Sammy Farha on HSP.

Jamie Gold's WSOP run was one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen on broadcast television. Such a prototypical poker heel. Eating blueberries with a spoon crushes the whole Oreo gimmick from Rounders (fresh on my mind because I saw it mentioned in this thread) in terms of heel heat.

Anyone noticed the coincidence between trump getting elected and dnegs image/personalty change. Really feels like he just adapted some kind of trump personalty for himself.

And it startet roughly 3-4 years ago. Really feels like he either saw how successful trump was with his style, and adapted to this or he just saw how successful trump was and he revealed his real identity, which he was hiding for the last years.

Anyways, is pathetic and embarrassing to see tweets like this from him. He really doesn't deserve any kind of attention and I just hope dp crushes him for a significant amount.
