Here I am again! Hey Daniel, what Bankroll (amount of BIs) would you recommend to start playing Live MTTs of 50-150 players? The structure is pretty standard, maybe a little bit Turbo.. Thanks!

Oh, one more about Live poker.. What do you think is more profitable and better to start a carreer.. Playing Online where you can put in much more volume + you have low rake, or playing Live where those 2 things don't happen, BUT you have an environment with many MANY fishes playing higher stakes?? Thanks again!
If there was one specific hand you could go back and change the way you played, which would it be and why?
Do you think it was a good idea for Colorado to legalize the casual use of marijuana? Do you think there will be an huge influx of new residents in the state?
Have you considered giving charity to countries outside of the States?

Daniel do you think that the rivalry between poker players can evolve into bullying? Have you ever been bullied?
Have you ever had to play against a competitor you didn’t like? And have you ever played in tournament along with that player? Did you decide not to play or did you play normally?
What do you think the truth is as it relates to Area 51? Myth? Cover up? Other?
Hi there, Kiddo! Do you, either by yourself, or by Poker Stars, consider create a "full video course" from that mission you've entered, from a dollar or so, to $10,000? You've left that in the middle... That would be nice!
Cheers!

I know it’s common for professional players to be staked in high-dollar events such as the Big One for One Drop tournament that kicked off this year’s 2012 WSOP. What I’m curious about, though, is whether players have a tendency to play differently when someone else’s money is at risk. I’m also wondering about whether or not you think that it’s appropriate for players to adjust their styles when they’re staked since the people sponsoring them probably banked on both their table presence and playing style.
When you play in a social setting outside of a casino, do you play any differently? For instance, if you were to go to someone’s home game, would you play with the same intensity that you ordinarily play with at a table lined with professionals? Or, would you adjust your game and temper your aggressiveness knowing that you could simply re-buy all night? I guess what I want to know…do you view poker as the means to paying your bills even when you are in a social setting?
Many times we have heard players talk with fear about gay people and everything that has to do with their sexuality being against their manhood. How would you treat a fellow player that you know is gay?
Many of your fellow poker pro players have been on TV shows. Have you ever considered appearing in a show or reality show like Annie Duke or Vanessa Rousso?
Tie Domi vs. Joey Korcur, who remains on his blades?
I think you are one of the nicest people in the poker industry. Are you involved in any charity apart from that tournament organized by other people?
Daniel, my wife would like to have your babies. Would you like to make babies with her?
Poker is one of those industries that allows players to participate no matter their age is Do you think that some of the older players should step aside and allow younger players to be in the spot light?
Holy shit, did someone post about this AMA on a freetroll forum?

I admire the way you talk, I mean u talk honestly and without fear.
Here comes the MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION:
Some of us, before entering the online poker world, did some research to see where we were going to deposit our money. If it was all a scam, if poker sites invested in some sort of security, if there were rigged bots from the own site in tourneys that collected the players money... Considering that mobs were related to gambling from the beginning i thought online poker room owners weren't exactly Mother Teresa of Calcutta... all kinds of stuff came to my head...
I have played in PokerStars and didn't find anything irregular. I think it's a safe site.
After the Absolute Poker Cheating Scandal where there was a player that could see hole cards, I began doubting if this happened in the old administration of Full Tilt Poker too.
So I started to check the profit highstakes graphs of some players in www . highstakesdb . com
In a normal profit graph the player should have ups and downs like this one on pokerstars:

Your highstake profit graph on pokerstars:

Gus Hansen's profit graph on Old Full Tilt
Gus Hansen on Full Tilt Poker - Poker Player Gustav Hansen
http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/...senresults.jpg
And here is Phil Ivey's highstakes profit graph on old Full Tilt poker site:
Phil Ivey on Full Tilt Poker - Poker Player Phil Ivey
http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/...veyresults.jpg
Isn't it suspicious that he never had big downswing in all those years? ... someone that likes playing dices in casinos...
Considering that Full Tilt Poker was a Ponzi Scheme I think we have the right to be at least a little suspicious about if someone used his account to play seeing the hole cards.
I know he's your friend and that you defended him in the scandal.
Do you think that something similar to what happened in Absolute Poker could had been happening in old Full Tilt Poker?
Do you think Howard "The Professor" Lederer, Ray Bitar or Chris "Jesus" Ferguson would be capable of doing something like that?

Have you ever thought about opening your own poker site? It seems that latterly there are many players who have been looking to gain much more by investing and making their own sites profitable. Is this something that has ever crossed your mind?
Hi Daniel, I'm a big fan of you and very happy for this opportunity :)
You told once that you are at the beginning of your poker time. Often invited to big rounds wast. Until you recognize that you lose most. And that's why everyone wanted to play with you. You are now a brilliant player. I think the best of all.
What was the decisive factor with you, that you have not poker left off, rather you helped to become a brilliant shark?
You've made the leap from average players and fish, to a great poker player. What important tip (mental?) you can give us on the way? To help us, from losing players to become a bit of money winning players?

hi Daniel
do you think usa will ever get to go back to playing on pokerstars and fulltilt??
i miss them so much
good luck to you in life and at the tables
Let's get DEEP!
What is your philosophy and general outlook on life? Do you have any opinions or beliefs on what this is all about, where it came from, or what one should do with their limited time here? What is reality to you?
(1) Where's the value in playing on shows like PAD/High Stakes Poker that is chalked full of pros? Do you, as well as all others at the table, feel they actually have an edge in that game? Are some of the pros just incorrect in thinking they have an edge in those games against other top pros?
(2) Do you do any study/review/etc to keep your game improving? If so, what? If not, why not?
(3) Who gives you the most trouble at the table (live or online)? Whether they just run insanely well against you, or play really well against you.
(4) Worst downswing of your career? How did you handle it?
Thanks for doing this.
Daniel, here are some more questions..
1. You talk a LOT at the Poker tables. Is that only to extract information from the other players, or also to distract them?
2. What 'strategy' do you believe is the best to have the most accurate read possible on your opponents?
3. Which events are you planing to play on 2013?
4. Do you have the same strategy when playing Live and Online, or is there any difference in your game?
5. What do you think about the Poker world nowadays, and how do you think the game will evolve in the future?
Thanks!

Hello Daniel, no questions from me! I just want to say that I really admire you and I think you are one of the few players that can act cool without being disrespectful to the rest of the mortals!! just keep like that :)
I think casinos disallowing players based on anything but cheating is a very slippery slope. I don't think its the casino's responsibility to bar players from casinos for being shady, unless there is evidence that they are cheating at poker.Quote:

I would have made sure that I stayed up to date with all the latest innovations in poker, namely online poker, so that I never felt like I was behind the learning curve. Also, I wouldn't sacrifice my skill level to focus so much on the media/business side of the game. I would have made sure I practiced and studied the game on a regular basis. I am doing that religiously now, and it's super important to continue to learn from your peers, even if they are half your age.Quote:

When are you going to come to Petawawa (biggest military base in Canada) and do a charity tournament. You and Julian Austin -- him music you cards.. and who ever else I could get to be involved.?? So when?? Fallen Soldiers Canadian.
Welcome Daniel!!! :) thanks for the answers!!
It's important to be a part of the TV shows to help promote the game. I feel like I can help in that regard so it's important to me that I do that.Quote:

Biggest challenge is legislation in the US.
As players, we can reach out to legislators and let them know we want the freedom to play poker at home in our underwear!
What do think of the no dealer tables at Casinos like Woodbine?

How satisfied were you with the White House’s response to the petition submitted by the Poker Players Alliance re legalizing online poker in the US?
Well, even when I do call out people's hands, I'm essentially breaking down ranges and when I call out a specific hand it's because that is the most likely hand in their range based on my read. As you have seen, sometimes I'll call out a player's hand, but call anyway even though I'm beat! The reason for that is based on the pot odds I'm often getting, and even though I think I'm beat, I'm not 100% sure. So for example, if I'm 70% sure they have it, but the pot is laying me 5-1 odds, I still would call the bet because I think bluffs represent 30% of their range which is still profitable in the long run.Quote:
