he doesnt make that big of a deal out of it, whenever ive seen him talk about it hes pretty humble about it... plus, who else does something like that? no other poker player risks that much money to win tournaments, just to give all his winnings to charity. youre pretty critical of him, whens the last time you donated 1st prize money in a 5k buyin tournament to charity?

He plays the big tournys to win not for money, esp when he plays the highest cash games in the world daily. All i am saying is its nothing to him.
As for when was the last time i donated charity? I bet i donate more time and money % of my income then he ever will. |

hey
I like alot of players mostly daniel think he is very smart player but CANT STAND PHIL, I would be happy if he just quit poker all together did you see when he tried to talk to Doyle...look at expression on Doyles face like get this moron away from me NOW. He is such a jerk to people then tries to be there friends like with annie during toc was like annie is my friend i love her to death but she is so lucky, make up your freaking mind moron. Annie just outplayed him left and right. All you people hate Annie but she dosent have the kind of money she does from just being lucky I mean she has placed pretty high in all the tornaments she has been involved in. Think alot of people are just afraid because she is a female and could kick all there butts.

uhh no one here ever called her lucky, people said they didnt like her because of her conduct at the table / what daniel negreanu has said about her / because shes a cunt.
-jB (edit) you dont see people here bashing harman or violette because they're women, they are better sports than annie and nicer people (from what we've seen on tv and read). nobody is singling annie out becuase shes a woman, people single her out because she plays dirty and doesnt act like a professional.

How can you donate more than 100%?? Am I missing something. I actually just watched the replay tonight of when he won the world poker open, and I am more impressed with him than ever. It talked about how he wanted to get custody of his step kids, and it would have been tough given his profession, so he went to school, got a degree, and became a successful computer software programmer. Wow! He sponsors more than 1500 kids around the world. How can anyone say anything negative about him at all? I dont get it. Its the tv networks that pump up this robin hood thing, not him. I agree with the other poster, he is very humble about it. He wins the WPO and donates whatever it was $1.3 mil. and you say its nothing to him. CMON. I know you werent bashing him Taja, but anything sort of nominating him for Pope is a mistake.

he doesnt give 100% of his winnings to charity, he gives 100% of his tournament winnings to charity. i am not trying to say that this is a bad thing, in fact it is extremely thoughtful and he should be praised for it.
but the fact is, he is considered to be a great cash game player, and he makes most of his money playing cash games. the tournament winnings, while highly publicized (by the networks, not by himself), are probably a drop in the bucket compared to what he makes overall. it is a tremendous act, but he doesnt give anywhere close to 100% of his winnings to charity. |
