I think I was way off with that 100,000-200,000. That's the billionaire Texan thingy that cardplayer talked about. I do think Danny, Chau, Ivey, and some others were playing 10,000-20,000 (or something like that) in So. Cal a few months ago.

Daniel is aware of the posts regarding his bankroll.

Sometimes I think Daniel says certain things in interviews on his blog just to get a rise out of the anal retents here. He seems to have a much better sense of humour than most of the posters here.

On a side note, I just love the little coy looks Daniel was giving the interviewer. DN's one of the most expressive self-admitted hetero men I know of.

Negreanu and others should cash in on their fame by playing $5k heads up matches all day long against any taker if they want to build a rep like this, because all sorts of gamblers would plop down that much to try and beat a pro. We've all seen the Rounders scene with Johnny Chan, right?

I don't think any of the top pros would get out of bed for $5,000.

Did he really blame his lack of doing well at the series because of the cold in the room? LOL. World class player but cant beat the chill.

I had previously read Daniel's blog about the quads. I like Daniel, he's entertaining and very smart, but I wish I had stock in Barry Greenstein. Daniel is going to get killed. You heard it here folks, Barry 8, Daniel 1.

At best, he is a 2% favorite over the challenger

the variance is high and they payoff is about what you'd get from a savings account. Not a good bet.

[/ QUOTE ]

Let's assume your numbers above are correct. How long does it take to play one of these HU matches? Maybe 3 or 4 days of evening play? A week if we're being conservative?

When you find a savings account which pays you 2% interest per week (hint: that's 180% APR) please let me know.
