Perhaps you really are running bad Daniel. I would just caveat that say many pros initially think they are simply just running bad, and its not until further reflection from a distance that they realize they were probably playing bad as well.

One of the keys to being a great poker player is being a mystery to your opponents. To act the way this person does is not conducive to winning. Yes he has carved out a nice Life in the business of poker but he can't win. He still finds time to throw dirt on people when they are down and then mentions Zen. He only try's to hurt people that he has a grudge against. He never puts blame on his friends or people he wishes we're his friends. Running bad or getting unlucky are terms that losers use. Luck is a built in dynamic of playing poker yet when he wins it will be his tremendous skill we hear about. He can win one of these monster buy in events because the fields are so small and he can get lucky. He couldn't sniff Iveys jock . Have we ever heard Ivey bitch? Have we ever heard Dwan bitch? Braclets mean nothing. Any avg. poker player that could afford to play all the events will eventually win. If it were one event then yes it would mean alot but it's 60 friggin shots for a guy like Dan. He's a hustler and nothing more like most successful business men he's gotta keep the illusion up for the mark or in this case the fish.
