Daniel N and who was the black guy that came in second at this year's main event? I seem to have forgotten his name, but I liked his style. He reacts so quickly as if he hasn't thought his play out thoroughly, but hey, he made it to second. Something about him I just liked. Also would have been nice to see him become the youngest to win, but oh well.

I really like watching Gus Hansen on the Pokersuperstars. It seems like the other pros don't know how to handle his unpredictability. I also thought it was funny at the WSOP when the pros were complaining about the illogical plays being made by the internet players. WELCOME TO OUR WORLD - LOL.

You talk about acting quickly.

From my perspective, unless you are either calculating pot odds or trying to get a read, people wait and wait for show. It's a mind game. I like David's style too, and he did very well at the Borgata Open this summer in Atlantic City. He was in the top 5, I believe, along with Arieh, and the event winner, D-Neg.

I should have been more clear - He just named the Top 3 finishers in the Borgata tourney he was referring to (he "thought" Williams finished in the Top 5). Not the top three in the world!

Gotta love Barry Greenstein. Anyone who can play successfully in the biggest cash games in the world, and then donate all of your winnings to truly worthwhile charities, is the man in my book. I know this story has gotten some pub., but this is truly amazing what he is doing. I would love to see some sort of movie/show about his life. With the current poker craze, couldnt we hear talk about this, instead of talk of a sitcom about Annie Dukes life?
Also, I envy Dewey Tomko. At some point many years ago he was a top tier player. He was a kindergarten teacher (I taught elementary phys. ed), then he retired to play golf, and win money playing golf while watching his kids grow up, coached all the sports (as I have), then returned to the upper echelon (spelling?) of poker. Ya, not a bad life I'd say.
