I love Daniel but I hear he was struggling for a bit on the super high stakes cash games. But he turned it around I believe. Again I heard it somewhere. Who knows. There is no question his reading ability is one of the best if not the best. Ivey doesn't talk as much. Daniel gains tons of info by bantering and his banter gets others to losen up as a result he can tell exactly what they got. Thats why the old time players say DONT TALK AT THE TABLE.
