= Not the Main Event

Struck me as discordant that the reporter seemed to have as a main theme Negreanu's 'regular guy' persona - answers all his own emails, has no ego, yada yada - but closes with this quotation:

"My job -- taking money from chumps." Negreanu may well have meant that remark to be ironic. If so, the irony did not translate into the written word.

A quote from today's (long) NY Times article on Daniel:

"Texas Dolly Brunson, who is 71 and has won nine lesser World Series of Poker competitions and two grand-prize W.S.O.P. championships, says: 'He may be one of the all-time greats. Maybe the greatest ever.'"

''I don't believe much in banks,'' he says. ''Although I do have one bank account with not much in it, just a couple hundred thousand.'' He also doesn't believe in credit cards, or buying anything he can't afford to pay cash for, which is why he always travels with a wad of $100 bills held together with an elastic band.

Is he just asking to get robbed?

the mans probably got a couple of bodyguards with him at all times

The man probably doesn't care if he gets robbed for a few thousand.

Of course Doyle is a legend but with the bigger fields these days and much more competition, Negreanu results speak for themselves.

I smell a nice charity pitch angle here...
