I love the fact that we're gonna see a match, at least we get something actually fun out of this.
The way Doug is going about it is by far the most douchebaggy way he possibly can tho:
Mr. "DNegsHasSoldOut" sells out and for the low low price of 1000 retweets, he will come back to poker after a mindboggling absence of 2 years (playing) and 4 months (contentmaking)
Immediately claiming Daniel would back down, and then claiming he has no chance to win. Remember this when a couple of tweets down he claims he hasn't played/studied in years.
In one tweet he both:
1. claims Daniel would pick a format that is entirely geared to his skillset, which would hive him an advantage.
2. picks a format that is entirely geared to his skillset, giving him an advantage.
Daniel calling him out on that BS is fair game imo.
Baseless claim of Daniel backing down again. At this point Daniel has already shown interest in doing this, so bit weird that he keeps playing this specific drum.
At least the two manchildren can get to what vaguely looks like a compromise.
The BS from Doug about not playing/studying for years is just that. He needs the poker crowd to keep his revenue going, he managed to stay out of poker content for.... (checks his YT channel) barely 4 months.
Joey then throws in a decent suggestion and a jab at Daniel's comment. It's a funny jab, but we do want a fair match, not one geared towards either player.
Negotiating so far has looked like bullying Daniel on any point of feedback he gives on the format, but ok, not unreasonable to discuss structure/buy-in together.
This is a great moment to raise money for charity, it might even fool people into thinking you're not doing this for personal gain.
Doug then proceeds to call out Daniel
again for not agreeing to a set of rules he himself has set to be in his advantage.
To summarize: while Daniel the Manchild talks big, Doug the Manchild actually gets the most say in what/how they're gonna do this.
To conclude: they're both Manchildren, and I'll enjoy watching them go heads up for the entertainment.
