All the Wynn games have no cap. He needs to do this more often. The game gets ultra good and he throws around tons of money. Plus he actually showed up to the Wynn being the ambasador(sp?) to the poker room and all.

It's sad he doesn't even know the 1-2 game was changed to 1-3.

The wynn's 1/2 nl changed to 1/3nl? When did that happen? If true, did it make the games a little looser than the rockies like it has been?

A few months ago. It was discussed in great length on here several times.

I won a nice pot with the Q-10 of clubs. The flop came 10-7c 3c and I checked to the player on my left who bet 200. I made it $75,000 to go and he called for his last few thousand.

In my opinion that journal entry made him look like a nit.

"Look at me... I'm filthy rich and can buy into a baby no limit game for $125k!"

Good for you.

Yeah I agree. (Unless I took him for a couple of grand.) I am a big fan of Daniel, but it would turn me off to him and the Wynn if I were sitting at the table with my little $300 stack and one of the best players in the world plops down next to me with over $100 grand, sending me all-in every hand. Eventually he would bust me, and I'd have to go play nickel video poker with the wife.

5/10NL is hardly a baby NL game. If I recall, it's the biggest NL regularly spread at the Wynn. Additionally, as it is uncapped and at the Wynn it plays bigger than a normal, capped 5/10NL.

It actually made me wonder if he took up drinking again. After all buying in for ridiculous amounts probably sounds good after lots of drinks.

how did he fit 125K in his pocket?
