He is my favorite by far. He is genuinely a nice guy, which shows when you see him play. He also uses this to his advantage, squeezing information from players that they don't even know they are giving up. His reads are phenomenal. He calls cards out and is right so often it's scary. I understand maybe if there is a few high cards out and someone guesses close, but I've seen him looking at a board with nothing higher than a ten out, holding middle pair. His opponent was betting, but not too much and Daniel folds saying the guy must have pocket kings...and of course the guy had them. Unreal. I also like the fact that he tried to go out and make it in poker and failed. Lost his whole bankroll and moved back home. He rebuilt it at home and then tried again, this time making it a success. It took him a few more years. That shows you something about his character. Great player, great guy.
