Re: why is everyone ripping Daniel N? why not Barry G too?
I, for one, like Daniel. I've never met him but he *seems* like a nice enough guy. However he is also a young millionaire and his head has probably grown a little too big. I remember when Venus Williams first hit the tennis scene, she put out some ridiculous challenge that she could beat any male player ranked 200 or below in the world, and she played some guy nobody's ever heard of and he beat the piss out of her and she complained about him hitting too hard and blah blah blah and that was the end of that.
Daniel gets attacked a lot on here because:
A. His (perceived) constant ragging of 2+2/Sklansky
B. The people who post on his blog/forum are basically his servants and since he rags on 2+2/Sklansky, so will they
C. Most of us are jealous of him, whether they will admit to it or not
D. Daniel keeps saying after his matches how unlucky he got and bad beats, etc.
E. In this current case, Barry G. is a well-respected poster on these forums, and even posts/answers questions in the hell-hole known as the WPT forum
I suspect that if Daniel were to play a match against a truly disliked poker player (Fischman, Boyd, Hellmuth, etc.), a lot more people would be rooting for Daniel.
