Daniel's answer to who he does and does not want to play

[Smoothcall]

He chooses to asnwer questions he wants to. Where he can get at his enemies or people he dislikes, and avoids ones where he might disrespect a friend. What do you think he would say if asked about jennifer Harmon? Or doyle? e would either anser but be mor elieneint wiht his answers saying not sure or whatever or might be tough. As he wouldn't wnat to attack them. He conveniently answers the ones he wants to answer to attack. Not him not dodging.

The one thing I am surprised about is with the way he talks about Hellmuth's play in cash games that he didn't make the list.

AFAIK, Hellmuth does not play in the really big cash games.

Ahhhh, I was waiting for someone to post the RGP threads. Good times, those were.

FWIW I have seen him in the big UB games, and I recall reading a story in the past written by Eugeneel on how he took a lot of money off a whale in a 200-400 game (or was it 400-800?), and I think Phil was in that game.

Daniel's list of players that are better than Sklansky (by game)

Mike Caro's response to that post:

Hi, Daniel --

David belongs high on most of those lists. I don't quarrel with your
choice of many of the others, but I'm too politically astute to be
specific.

And you can leave me off your lists if you want to (but you
shouldn't). It doesn't bother me at all, you stupid son of a bitch
moron bastard how could you do that I thought you were smart you piece
of... Where was I? And I'm not going to argue the point. Just for the
record, I have no idea how most people form these types of opinions.
They often seem to name the same people they're familiar with and who
often play in the same circles. But I guess you could argue that's
logical.

You're one of my favorite poker people and you add color and character
to the game. But, questioning just one of your lists, I don't think
you could possibly convince ME not to put my money on David Sklansky
in high-low anything.

Straight Flushes,
Mike Caro

Oh, hee. I'd forgotten how belligerent the pros used to get (still get?) during the RGP golden years. Too bad it got overrun by idiots and spammers.

i'm curious as to how barry greenstein would respond to those remarks.

My guess it that he should, and will, let his play speak for itself.

Having just finished the Professor, Banker, and Suicide King this weekend, I found it interesting that Barry G was not only a net loser to Andy Beal, but rather that Andy pwned Barry G from the outset and in every encounter. The only players who seemed to have a consistent edge on Beal were Lederer, Harmon, and Todd Brunson.

1. As stated, I will let my play speak for itself. I am not happy being even with Daniel, especially after being up 2-0, but worse things have happened.

2. The facts were wrong in Michael Craig's book. I tried to get them to correct them, but it was too late when I noticed it. The first time we played, I lost $60,000 (one big blind). I consider that a tie, but he called it a win. The next time we played, Andy won handily. Even though Doyle asked me to play him again, I decided that it was better to have players who were beating Andy continue to play him, and I refused. I never played him again. In the book, Michael fabricated me losing to Andy Beal in a third match, when in reality, I was in Atlantic City.

He claimed he wrote this because some players told him they thought I lost again, although they weren't sure. He should have asked me. The player's negative sentiment existed because some of them were disappointed that I was a lead voter to let Andy play higher when we were way ahead of him. Of course, the vote was unanimous for this, but I was deemed one of the culprits when we lost.
