Steve Danemann...

[NLfool]

so far the only "bad" play he made was putting the decision to Lederer with K5 on a 252 flop. He's been shown on like 3 hands and only one is debatable, but he put the decision to a smaller stack and never called. So besides the phone call which looks like it could've taken place at any time frame and simply inserted, his play is fine and his results are stellar.

Steve seemed to be having a good time chatting throughout.

Was he on his cell phone after every hand?

*yeah i just bluffed out this donkey, mom lol!!11one!*

You're an idiot. At that point it was hand for hand and there was 10 minutes between every hand. If you had 10 minutes to stand around you'd be calling somebody too...

It looks like Steve is getting a head start on giving some credibility to his second place finish.

there was only 77 players in this bad boy

I have no idea if he's good or not, but winning a tournament with 77 entries doesn't do much for me (albeit, maybe a little)

he wins a 77 person tourney: no respect
he gets 2nd in a 5619 person tourney: no respect

does he need 17 WSOP bracelets before he's OK at poker?

How can you give a guy respect who is playing heads up for 7.5 million and just dumps off his chips because, in his words, "I was bored."?

Because being infatuated with money, while common, is not a virtue.

Not saying it is, and he may possibly be a very nice guy. All I am saying is that I can't respect him as a poker player because, at least in the WSOP ME when he was heads up, by his own admission, he didn't give his best effort. He dumped off his chips.

You work for several days and are heads up at the final table with millions on the line. Doesn't matter that you've already locked up several million, you have a chance for much more. Doesn't matter if you're tired, or if you're bored. This is a chance that comes along once in a lifetime. You suck it up, refocus, and give yourself the very best chance to win. Instead of doing that, he just rolled over, by his own admission.

Lol, I accidentally was sweating this for 5 minutes.

AKA

I was sitting next to some table waiting to buy chips at the cage and thought "that looks like Dannemann"

We got asked to step back and were like "huh, what, we're not even watching".

We should love this guy. Because he could be anyone of you. He plays in a homegame which many of us do. He probably plays online and he's a friggin accountant. Hello he's the regular guy who can play. I hope someday to do as well as he. Quit critizing the guy.

Why does everyone not like him?

he seems like a nice enough guy. jealousy, I guess.
