No way, update here too.


This should be a good match. I think Dan is an underdog. Again.

Is there a theory behind all the challenges being in limit, or is it just the speciality of the players challenging? I know Oppenhiemer and Tran were more limit specialists (dont know about cassidy), and before I get flamed for answering my own question there, Im also wondering if they just happened to be the first to agree or if limit specialists would feel they had an larger advantage.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not.

That is very possible. Daniel said this on his forums...

"My biggest concers are fending off all of the great, young limit hold'em specialists that hone their skills on the internet. Joe may actually be the favorite, but I did get rid of my rust in the game so I have renewed confidence that I'll do ok."

Dan pretty much said he was an underdog, calling this matchup "tougher", I believe it was, than Sammy Farha at HU PLO, and one of the toughest two matchups of HU poker that he has lined up. Then again, he said he had something on Farha.

Anyone have any background on Joe Cassidy? Does he play online, where did he get his bankroll?
