Dan Heimiller $5,307,218 in career earnings gave me these words of wisdom yesterday.
I played with Dan at the shooting star. He was hilarious.
I'm going to try to take his WSOP Seniors title away from him in June! Really don't want to see him at the final table, and I mean that in the most complementary way possible.
I want to get tips from him on how to impregnate your wife when she's in her late 40s.
That's more impressive than anything he's done at the poker table.
Always hated playing against this guy on Pstars. He never talked, played slow and had some old man pic (IIRC) which tilted me for some unknown reason
From what I read about this guy it seems like the pros hate playing with him 2, he plays any 2 cards extremely well. A tricky player that happens to be 50+ pretty sweet.
He played as "Lenny", and used Leonardo DaVinci as his avatar.
He had a REALLY weird playstyle. After playing with him a lot, I determined it was more "weird" than "good" -- at least at limit holdem. I am not saying he's a bad player, but he wasn't good at limit holdem at the time, and was definitely a losing player in those Stars games.
I remember remarking in the game itself (after he left), "Lenny has a really weird play style."
Someone else, who knew him in real life, responded, "You think he's weird here? You should meet the guy in person!"
He was upset because he let his website url expire and someone swooped on it and was extorting him for it back. He seemed actually shocked that this type of thing can happen.
Dutch on the stream told some funny stories about this dude today:
Raymond Davis once saw a shitfaced Dan Heimiller being dragged into a room by 3 girls. Next day, Davis found out the bitches took Dan's entire roll. They eventually found the girls and charged them, last Dutch heard.
There's also another story where Heimiller and Gavin are playing in a 2/5 game in the Tropicana Poker Room, when Jamie Gold was hosting at the time after winning the WSOP. Gavin is drunk and shitting on Heimiller constantly during the game: calling him a nit, telling him he never gives action, and is overall boring and sucks at poker. So, Dan steps away from the table, and goes gets a slice of pizza. While Gavin is in the middle of a hand, Dan goes behind him, takes off his fedora, and drops a slice of pepperoni right on Gavin's dome. Gavin wails like a beached whale, and they throw blows and get 86'd from the Trop (Jamie eventually got them back in).
