I've watched before and been unimpressed with his play.

I've played against him a number of times and watched a fair amount. He is IMO one of the most solid online limit players around.

I would be interested to hear any high-limit online players comment on this thread on neverwinpoker. Dan Druff, aka Todd Witteles, 2005 WSOP bracelet winner, has been running so bad in the Stars 100/200 than he is entertaining some notions about a "kill switch" that makes certain players lose. He does NOT say he believes in it, but he seems to be seriously considering it as an idea. Notice he doesn't have pokertracker, so there isn't any hard data.

thread is here

Most likely Dan Druff is just hamming it up for all the broke ass idiots on that site. If he was REALLY that upset about all of these beats it would shock me.

When you are losing $1000s day in day out while playing your A game against retards it's very easy to start thinking all kinds of crazy things.

I imagine, Dan, like many other players (including some of the most respected 2+2ers) vastly underestimates the variance inherent in poker.

Yep, this is very shocking though, 'I'm not up on Stars in 2005.'

Ha, wouldn't it be great if one day 'stars just come out and said, 'oh [censored], you got us, you're right we are rigged, all this time we have been cheating, sorry, wont happen again! pretty funny eh?'

I guess I misremembered what I saw and/or caught him on a bad play and/or my reads suck. I thought I remembered seeing him make some very questionable (like unpaired cards below ten) early position preflop raises, from what you guys have said I'm probably thinking of someone else. He still sounds like an idiot whining in that thread on neverwin.

Believe me, I know that for a fact. Sometimes you run so bad you are convinced it MUST be rigged even though intellectually you know that's not likely.

I have played a TON against druff....here are my comments. There is no switch....I remember these theroys in 1999 on paradise. Plain and simple. If you think its rigged, check your game. Read this again, if you think its rigged CHECK YOUR GAME. I really think in the PS 1-2 game there are a lot of BAD players who most of you think are really good. Egos get in the way! Have you ever seen neverwin play in a full 6-10 handed game? I'm not saying it is a easy game by any means tho...you have to pick and chose your spots with caution. It is one of the hardest limit games anywhere that I know of. A lot of solid players are not cut out for super super aggresive short handed play. Dandruff is a very good player but I do not see him as a long time winner in short handed play in that game. Here is why...dandruff is very easy to read. His play is very predictable and easy to play against. He plays to much "by the book" The fact he is a complainer means he is a little bi*ch. I only have 35k hands in the gamebut have a win rate of 1.08 BB/100 so the game is beatable. If I can beat so can you. I started playing poker at the 2-4 and have moved up as should you. Just my 2 cents....

Hey donkey, when he plays 100/200, HE'S DROPPING DOWN IN LIMITS.

Sounds like you need to "CHECK YOUR GAME" homey.
