    He is not very good, and went on a huge heater a few weeks ago winning the warmup, million, and 100r within like two weeks. Really quite bad, and a perfect example of how retarded MTT variance is when someone that bad can have that type of heater. And yes, he is a P5er.

    You could play 100% perfect poker and not win the million and warmup back to back weeks in a million years and this guy does it playing like a monkey.... so sad =/

    No he doesn't - and even if he did - when will people understand that determining how good someone is at poker should not be done based only on results? Will they ever?

    I just looked at N 82's profile, what's the story behind this:

    Greatest online win I won 2.4 million of off Doyle himself in about 20 minutes.

    You're right, for some reason i remember looking him up after he won the million then the warmup and couldn't find him, so i trusted my memory instead of taking a small amount of time to look it up again, and i was wrong.

    I take it to mean something like:

    "People always brag in these things, so obv. Many of them are exagerating."

    But who knows, it could be true.

    I never said Daniel Negreanu sucks, just said hes inferior to many of the top online players at NLHE MTTs.

    I know its difficult to understand, but its kinda different. But please, continue to spin what I say into your own amusement, it only makes you look foolish :)

    Scott is right. I have one of the most brilliant poker minds on this site and so far my results are lousy.

    "when will people understand that determining how good someone is at poker should not be done based on results? Will they ever"

    so how the hell do you measure it then. It simply is the most fair way to compare EVERYONE at the SAME game.

    When will you understand that you could be the most condescending person on this board. Yes you are a truly great player, no denying that, but you lack the ability to not sound like an ass most of the time

    He seems to limp every hand UTG, open shoves 3x the pot on certain flops...and this was in a f/o...just kind of strange, but I guess it works for him...in the short term at least.

    I agree that live poker is a joke..and you may be a very good player.. even a "Top" player.. but by publicly calling out people like DN you are only going to make yourself look like a fool.. and very immature.

    wtf I'm drunk but whatever, some random statements which are probably true:

    - (1) Mtt variance is really really sick.

    - scTrojans knows how mtt's work; his assessment usually is right.

    - I don't know vietcong1 that well, but I'll assume he's just another 1 hit wonder. gl with that, see (1).

    - I won the 109r twice in my first month of playing donkaments, I was really really mediocre back then. After that I improved, fixed leaks etc, and won it just once in the last 8 months, further evidence of (1).

    Oh, and free advice for everyone who wants to play donkaments:

    Imper1um owns us all.
