Eastgate: (Mike Question) :Talk a little about how you were not a "winning player" at first online and what stakes did you play at? What was your progression through the stakes?

Eastgate: What is the history of poker in Denmark? Has it been popular for many decades or is it a more recent phenomenon?

What special characteristics of Scandinavian players allow them to achieve so much success?

Could you please ask Daniel about a hand he played on HSP season 4. It was a fantastic hand and really showed his true class. It was a hand against Sammy and the hand where he showed a card.

The action went 300/600/1200 straddle. Safai called 1,200, Negreanu called 1,200 with QcTc, Harman called and Farha raisey daisied to 8,200. Everyone folds to Negreanu who calls and Harman folds. Flop comes 299 rainbow. Sammy best 15,000 quickly. Daniel says he has 9cTc and then turns over the Tc and then raises to 30k. Sammy folds.

I'v heard Daniel say write and say a bunch of times how he can read Sammy better than anyone else but was there reasoning behind showing the card, or was it just showing off? I mean if he knew he was weak he coulda just raised without showing a card, am I missing something here? I am not asking for Sammy's tells but rather why showing a card makes the re-bluff more convincing?

I kinda wanted to ask Daniel about this hand at WSOPE but got kinda star struck, I know thats pathetic. If you could shed any light on that I'd really appreciate it. Also, well done on the recent win.

Daniel: Years ago, you played in underground (illegal) live poker games in Toronto, reflecting back on this time in your life, what are your thoughts? Would you advise a friend or relative to stay away from these and play online instead?

DN -

Have you been a vegan/interested in spiritual stuff for all your life or is it just a reflection of your bad conscience for having the job you have, i.e. taking money from people who suffer from bad impulses / lack of self-control / self-hatred etc etc?

The Clownie beef.


The Annie Puke beef.


The old Howard Letterer beef.


Why was he never signed to full tilt?


Does he prefer men/women or both?

DN was on 8 mths ago in March. We'll take him twice a year as long as he'll continue to come on.

Is well spoken, always has strong opinions and is having a very good year at the tables.

BTW, we couldn't track down Eastgate as planned so we'll save the questions for him for an upcoming week.

Both - Do you believe you should use a large hammer or should you use a wooden baseball bat to beat people who use the term "Raisey Daisy"?

1. Have you ever considered doing a hair transplant?

If yes,

2. When succesfully executed would you consider going back to your Wolverine haircut?

Have you ever asked Mushu (his dog) for advice while playing on-line ?

It was an okay interview but I Really can't believe you didn't ask my question. It wasn't some stupid question about a video blog for goodness sake. It was a genuine strategy question but you chose to rather waste time and talk about prescription drugs and whether or not you'd be able to recognise Michael Binger. Cheers Guys. I appreciate it.

Daniel,

A close friend of mine is a really big fan. She is absolutely stunning hot & giggles like a school girl any time poker after dark is on TV. "Greatest player ever".. "So sexy".. etc she goes on and on. Anyway I'll cut to the chase, do you think there is any chance you could ask Phil Helmuth for an autograph?

thanks!

Dude, when we post a thread at 1:40 in the afternoon on Monday saying we have him on tonight and then you post a question at 5am the following day, the chances of that question getting asked are minimal. If I could turn back time though, I would do it just for you. Cheers.

I aplogogise then. I just saw that I had posted maybe 10th or 12th so didn't think it was that late. I'm living in the Uk so big time difference. Just kinda surprised there wasn't more questions by the time I posted if that was the case.
