Daniel Colman wins 2014 WSOP Big One for One Drop, Negreanu takes #1 spot all-time profit - Page 3

imo the real news is ivey's bracelet, daniels multiple ft's and 2nd in this

i think its funny he said that tho

i call poker my evil money making machine

he did totally demonize poker back to the pits where it derived with backgammon etc

w/e its not bad press, who is this guy?

WTF is this talk about multiacc vs his former coach????????

player999 at first your posts disappointed but now I see you just don't really know much about him which is what it is.

Dan said it happened 5 years ago, when he was like 17-18 he got his account banned from some site with no real explanation why, only speculation would be abuse of chat. This banning happened AFTER he got coaching from the Liv guy. When he made a new account, he said the player pool was small and speculation was he wanted more action/not get banned again.

within these time frames, he ended up playing his old coach liv with this new account and never told liv that it was him. He didn't go out of his way to cheat his coach, he went out of his way to cheat the entire SNG HU community. All of this was said to be 5 years ago

He said he regrets his actions and blames it on reckless youth.

Well you're right, that doesn't make you a hypocrite, but it does make you somewhat of an asshole towards society :D

No, it doesn't. It makes you realistic. Also, society is a much wider term that dwarfs the poker playerbase. If it wasn't you playing and presumably winning then it would be someone else. The point is that you can't change the game if you decide to avoid it for whatever reason. Realistically, it'll still be there only there will be more money for some other player. If we took out the individuals choice and made it a group choice real money poker would die almost immediately but realistically selfishness and greed push the game onward.

I generally find it the other way around.

Something is wrong here because they still are close friends.

yes like I said he didn't go out of his way to cheat his coach, he just changed his account name after being banned and did not tell anyone. That is from his own posting on 2+2 I don't have the link but he has like 165 total posts so can be found easy enough.
