Daniel
is arguably the most popular poker player in the world.
He is a fierce competitor who combines lethal skill with
a keen understanding of the business side of the game,
making him the perfect ambassador for the modern poker
era.
Biggest
Poker Accomplishment:
In 2004, Daniel put together a year for the ages. Won
the Card Player
Player of the Year Award, the WSOP Player of the Year
Award, 2 WPT titles and 1 WSOP bracelet. All of that, in
one year. Most players don’t achieve that over
their entire career.
Playing
Style: Highly
aggressive, and loves to see flops. Daniel thrives on
putting pressure on opponents at all times, and with
chips he is one of the toughest players in the game.
Daniel will play any 2 cards and play them well.
Strengths:
Post-flop play. Daniel’s reading abilities are second
to none, and he knows exactly what to do on every
street. It’s a deadly combination that sees Daniel
steal pot after pot when an opponent slows down on the
turn and river.
Weaknesses:
Daniel devotes so much time and effort to his various
business ventures that he doesn’t always put in enough
hours at the table.
Tournament
Winnings: More
than $7.9 million, the most of any other player.
The
Bottom Line:
Daniel is also currently one of poker’s best writers.
His articles for Card
Player are packed with strategy and insight, and his
blog has become required reading for the poker set. In
fact, his writing often covers hands in such detail that
opponents have accused him of sharing trade secrets.
