Do you know Daniel Negreanu personally??? It seems as though you speak on his behalf alot.

Travis is his assistant.

Neat for Travis. Notice who my post is replying to though.

In his blog he explains when the money went in as well as the suits. He states that he was an underdog each time and lists the percentages (although I didn't take the time to check them).

His blog didn't sound pretentious and seemed as fair as player can be expected to sound.

Then we once again played for all the money with the following hands:

Me: Qd-7d-5c-8s
Barry: As-6s-7s-8h

Flop: 2s-4s-6d

On that last hand I was about a 35% underdog, needing to hit a back door flush, a 3, 7, 8, or Q to win. I could also tie with a 5.

I was complaining about the inaccuracy when Daniel sends a short text message to Travis. It's probably neither of their faults, but until Daniel clears things up when he writes his blog at the end of the day, the early reports are sometimes misleading. (Also, even on the hand above that Daniel discussed in his blog, I didn't have three spades in my hand so my percentage was better.)

I just thought that is was amusing that the hand Daniel had me "dead until the river" according to Travis, I was actually a substantial favorite. In addition to my outs (I think 17), I had some (lower) backdoor straights working, and I also had three "killer cards" that prevented a redraw.

And for those who have wondered if I am the only one of the two of us who draws out on a hand: I don't complain after hands that I lose, and I don't bother to show my losing hands when I am the caller on the river. It may appear that I rarely get outdrawn. Admittedly, since I am currently ahead, it stands to reason that I have been doing more outdrawing than Daniel has.

Daniel also says this in his blog.

It sure helps when you hit some flops and I definitely hit more flops than Barry did. I even made some flushes too, yippee!

So he seems to think the cards were mostly running in his favor this match.

Daniel has stated that he has been suprised that he was not such a big dog in the games you have played so far; stud and plo. Have you been suprised yourself at how close the games have been?
