Hmmm. I do think Daniel disrespects Barry for some reason, but I really don't see this as purposeful false advertising. Wasn't this in "the big game"? Moreover, I think these two have now played at least 3 of Negreanu's $500k challenge matches, (with Negreanu winning twice) so its not like Dan has only seen a few of Barry's plays. I expect through both television and much more live play Dan has seen tons of Barry's plays. Moreover, it doesn't make sense for Barry to advertise solely for the purpose of perpetuating Negreanu's mental impression of him at a full ring game, when they have played 3 half million dollar matches already heads-up.

I think it was just a case of taking a shot, missing, and hoping your low was good, (which it was). Pretty LAG for Barry, especially in a limit game, but you have to mix it up or you won't get paid.

Your last sentence is exactly what I'm talking about. Advertising is a consistent thing, it's not a one-time shot, and it's not necessarily directed at a single player. (I mentioned this in the context of DN since that's where the discussion started. However, the value of a play like this is certainly because multiple players see a weird mistake-play.)

I mean, if you truly think that Barry mistakenly thought that this was the best EV play he could make in this particular hand (which I don't believe you are, but it sounds like DN just sees this as an isolated poker *mistake*), I think you're fooling yourself.
