But sadly he misses the main one.
Daniel Colman shunned the interviews not because he wanted to stay out of the spotlight, but because he has a problem with the game of poker itself.
He thinks too many people lose money in poker that cannot afford it.
He thinks poker is a waste of time, and takes people away from more important endeavors in life.
And it's fine to think that way.... if you don't make your living from poker! Without people "wasting time" and "losing too much money" in poker, Daniel Colman would be a broke kid instead of a multimillionaire.
It would be like Tom Cruise ranting about movies being a waste of time and the public spending too much money on going to the movie theater, and yet happily cashing his huge paychecks for every film.
Or what if a tobacco company executive wrote an editorial about the evils of smoking, yet did not resign his post?
You are only qualified to criticize something if you don't partake in the benefits from the item you are criticizing. I don't understand why so many people are hailing Colman a hero, when in reality he is just a guilty, hypocritical, limousine liberal.
yeah these peoples comments are surprising... if I saw what Coleman was saying back when I first got into poker 8 years ago It probably would have made me second guess continuing to play poker along with a bunch of other people probably...
