which poker icon will be first to go broke

[meow_meow]

Not that I know anything but Josh Arieh hasn't cashed in a tourney in more than 6 months (maybe he hasn't been playing any).

Further, he is portrayed in Dan N's blog as a raging gambling addict (as are others).

[PokerPaul]

don't know nothing about arieh, maybe its true, but this is my exact point.

Who is Dan N to be commenting and critiquing in his blog about others gamblings tendencies.

Didnt he himself find himself stuck for something like 1.5 million in 1 session of 4k-8k a couple of weeks ago?

When your annual intake is 4.5 mill in your best year ever, and u gamble 1/3 of it away potentially in 1 evening, even if your Daniel N, i'm sorry but thats playing over your head, and you have no right to blog others as problem gamblers.

I'm pretty sure he meant "next".

And Gus Hansen too good? LOL.

I think the case of Hansen is similar to the AQ test. If you are not capable of realizing that he is a phenomenal NL player then you really are not thinking about the game properly.

Isn't the 4.5 mil number that's been thrown around just from tournament wins? I don't think anybody really knows how much DN or any of the other regulars in the 4K-8K game are winning (or losing) in a given year.

Well guess what? I wasn't talking about his nl game. Even though i'm not impressed with tat either. But i'm talking about him playing in the big game. Which is a mixed game. He is the fish and will go broke!

[Fallen Hero]

Being down or up 1milion is a regular ocorrence in that game (as you can tell, simply by reading the blog and seeing Ivey's reaction), and don't pretend to know how much DN makes a year.

[PokerPaul]

daniel himself stated on TV here in toronto that his wins totalled 4.5 mill last year.

now it might very well just be tourney wins, but i doubt that his cash wins would dwarf that.

Being stuck one million is not a regular occurence in the 4k-8k game.

Quoting Barry Greenstein on his comments about Gus Hansen: I play with Gus in side games where one million dollar swings are very rare, yet I have seen Gus get stuck a million and get even in the same session -- three different times!
