Shaun Deeb actually tweeted out for Daniel to be banned so some people are calling for his head but Polk is just being Polk.But still, for the first reason, Doug isn't the kind of guy that tries to get people banned.
What if he said what he did and then followed it up “and you’re going to love it” ?The premise also assumes there is a sexual nature in feeding the teeth anally. Things can be inserted anally without it being sexual, like a thermometer. I don’t think Daniel was threatening to forcefully check the man’s temperature though.
Except that's not what he's doing. He's ridiculing Daniel for a variety of things and just keeps dragging that 4-year-old cow out of a ditch and slapping Daniel around with it to grab attention. It's telling that if you Google "daniel negreanu more rake", this is what you get:

Those are some of the most clickbait cringy titles I've seen on poker vids so far, and all 3 are from Doug.
By the looks of it he tries to keep this crap alive by just rehashing it every single year.

It’s a lower “adult” bar for Doug to not be proactively and consistently trolling Daniel for years than for Daniel to say he was wrong on one of his personal views imo.I'm not saying that Doug is entirely blameless. His channel needed content, this is what he made. You can take it or leave it. I have a good feeling that if Daniel had an honest dialog and came out as repentant with what he said in the first place, Doug would have left him alone.
But Daniel never wanted to be an adult of addressing this head on. Which gives more fuel to the notion of him being completely invested in only himself and not poker as a whole when he's been so vocal in tackling other issues like TDA rules.

Scene 13: The morning light breaks through the curtains rousing Tony the Tiger from his few hours of sleep. Bleary-eyed, Tony drags himself out of bed, past the 3 hooker-lionesses lying on the floor. He cuts out 3 lines of coke onto a mirror from a Tony-Montana sized mountain of the powdered drug. He snorts the first two, and then scoops the third onto a bowl of flakes.Yeah, going offtopic here, but we should totally make this a movie.

I mean Polk got Limon fired from LaTB, so...
From what I know of the incident I don't think Doug was the ultimate deciding factor there.I mean Polk got Limon fired from LaTB, so...

One of the lionesses raises her head at the crunching sound of dry flakes. "Are those any good without milk?"
"They-r-r-r-r-e Great!"
Not a sentence I ever expected to read in my life, not going to lie!As for Daniel, I think a parallel (not completely identical mind you) can be drawn between him and Joe Exotic of Tiger King infamy.
So you are allowed to troll people constantly if you disagree with their opinion? Okay, fair enough if that's how you feel.Daniel never (to my knowledge) publicly recanted, retracted, or flat out apologized for More Rake is Better. If Daniel is too stubborn, prideful, or maybe it's all out fear speaking out against his then meal ticket's business practices, then Doug has every right to put his feet to the fire to show how hypocritical Daniel is / was presenting himself.
Like you say, how can anyone think this wasn't epic and hilarious?Polk is a douche, but he is frequently correct. His trolling on the "More Rake" topic was actually epic, and I like good entertainment.
Heaven knows we've all tried.I mean, you can't be all loosey-goosey at the table eating a sandwich anally
“In the poker game of life, women are the rake”
hard to hate on a “don’t eat sandwiches at a poker table” PSA. That’s just good advice, even when we aren’t in a pandemic"You need to understand that everything you do at the poker table, conveys information."
Really PCF? Four pages of comments and no one is going to make fun of the YouTube "Masterclass" ad? You have let me down.

I was in Vegas that year for the WSOP, and saw the sign. I was already aware of the whole "More Rake" debacle, but I didn't know that Polk was going to escalate it to a billboard on the interstate.
I read the linked article, and I get what he's saying. It's not the "hurr durr rake is good" take that Polk has been trying to push for several years. He's talking about specific instances where low-rake games populated heavily by pros can drive recreational players away and ultimately kill the game.You mean like this?

I'm not saying this absolves him of anything, but it's a hell of a lot more adult than Polk's content.
There was some truth to daniel's take on the rake. But it would have been more palatable if he'd said "Well if we're stuck with higher rake, here's an upside . . ."I read the linked article, and I get what he's saying.

It's a take on "shear a sheep many times, skin a sheep once" that seems maybe a little contrived but is far from what Poke tries to present it as.
Cliffs, Chippy?
