Would have edge in 3 of those 5 games imo.

But all anyone wants to play is NLHE and PLO, which I would bet on durrrr.

Seems like an expensive way to 'quiet' the attacks on himself.

Silly thread though tbh althougb it's significantly better than that dude who wrote an open letter to DN in a desperate attempt to garner some attention from him.

Couldnt agree more.

I think the 8-ball would need to be online. Does anyone play pool live anymore?

No Limit HE? And what about 2-7 triple draw?

Durrrr would own DN online, but DN would own Durrrr live. And I would own both of them in either venue

No. Durrrr > Daniel in NL, either live or online. DN would beat Tom in other variants of poker like stud/O8, either live or online. Not sure about PLO

What is 8-ball? I think you could get him to take you up on this if the stakes are high enough.

I'd play if it were online, but you're not QUITE fishy enough to fly somewhere for. (Edit: I know you know I'm joking, but for everyone else: DN is not a fish)

-Phil

Edit 2: If 8-ball means pool, you probably won't get action from either of us.

there will always people have differing opinions, no matter what happens or is said.

people think that "these attacks" etc would be quieted, no way. Even though the percentage of people holding certain opinions might diminish or increase, the "attacks"
and opinions on forums would probably be quite unchanged imho.

Daniel has a valid point, why would he play him at Toms best game, and all the games that daniel prob has
edge in be overlooked. the mixed game option is fair for both sides. odds on this happening tho?

Now you're talking - add in Trivial Pursuits, 100 yard dash, 10K run, bench press, MMA, current events, and the SAT and you guys can start bragging about the most well-rounded poker player of all time.

RealKidPoker: Can't sleep so going to grind in the 25-50 cent game on PokerStars as part of my Bankroll challenge. Started with $10 at $190 now.

I think the BR challenge is a fail already

What would you have to spot Durrrr to even make it close in pool? If this even happened without the pool I would bet Daniels side. PLO Durrrr has a good edge i think, NLH smaller edge to Durrrr. The other two games Big edges to DN.

Would DN do this vs Viffer? that could be interesting
