Hey iveyfan05, he OWNS nightclubs for a living! I'm not saying he's a bad player, he just catches cards consistently. How could you possibly lose in that situation? Ivey's a great player. Paul Darden comes nowhere close to his skill.

...and by the way, cash games are moslty luck and patience. He's not as good at tourneys because he has no balls when it comes to NL tournament style play. It's a little easy to buy in to a $25K tourney when you are already rich from owning nightclubs and you have $25K to spare. Do your homework, iveyfan05!

he owns nightclubs,yes ,most if his income comed from poker..the sentence "he catches cards consistently " is a joke....good players know how to win with bad cards....i never said he was a phil ivey...he may never be that good.all im saying is hesa pretty good player

Howard Lederer folded AQ of hearts before the flop against this guy's raise. He must be good.

Well of course he is. But I'm just saying that he's on the pretty lucky end of the sepectrum. Pros like Chip Reese for example, are on the fairly unlucky when it comes to tournament poker. The game's a little easier when you get the cards. He makes good plays when he gets them though.

chip reese hasn't faired very well in tourney play..but hes the best cash game player ever..so h probably does pretty well for himself lol...theres more to poker than tourney play we see on espn and wpt....

true.

The ghetto version of Teddy KGB. Take it how you like.

I busted his ass with a KJ at the Commerce casino. 1060.00 buy in NL tourny. Hey Paul what did you have?????????????

its funny how ppl take time to hate....
no comment really...if u see someone darden or anyone (moneymaker for example) u dont know shit...u can call them lucky but you only see a small percentage of the hand they played in a tourney....Darden is good. period...not as good as say phil ivey and company but good....why are people still posting?

I Have To Say Paul Is A Great Player But, A Guy Who Plays At Foxwoods Once And A While "sammy" Is A Better Money Player Somebody Sponser This Guy Hes A Card Magnet.

i just think this is all Very funny. half the people here complain about how "fake" and "lucky" paul daraden is. to this i may add, how many tournaments have they won? how many final tables have they made?do they actually Make money off of poker? not many people can say they do. Paul Daraden may not be on Every final table, but he is a good player and can probably take EVERY CHIP of all the people in this thread that have criticized him for being "lucky" or average at best.

Moose. I was on four final tables this weekend on pokerstars and I am consistently ranked on that site. I make money playing. Of course I never commented on Paul's play, just his ass, so disregard this message.

Paul darden is far from a bad player. u say he is lucky, i would say unlucky with his infamous 45 suited. and also, he has made many WPT final tables and he is a good, aggressive player. i have also never seen such a gangsta player, lol.

my bad about the 45 suited hand, i saw it last night. but he still is not lucky.

His brother Chris Darden lost the OJ case

What really annoys me about this guy is his apparent strength - "play my opponenets hand, not mine. i know what my cards are etc". Ive only ever seen him at one final table, and he was playing his own cards whenever he got KA or a pair basically. Just got nice cards whenever he increased his stack basically, only when others also got almost as good cards like QA for example. Like someone else said, its easy to do well when u get the cards.

ur supposed to play ur opponent, not the cards every pro says that.

stole my car radio...

Yeah. I'm gonna be dealt AA while u get 27o, now try and beat me the player - who cares about the cards! Sure bet high pre-flop, i'll raise it and u call. Flop is A J 6 and u represent an ace, good luck with that! I'll fucking bust your "play the man" ass so bad. Because i have the cards, nothing on earth u can do to win that pot.

yeah the cards matter, but so does the player. and besides, ur saying that i would get shit and u would get the the nuts,thats not skill, cause if i tried to bluff u, u would have flopped something. ur supposed to play both the cards and the player. oh and something can beat the cards, bluffing, ever heard of it, thats called playing the man whenever u bluff, but u wouldnt know that cause the only way u can win is with the cards. and y would i keep 7-2 exactly?

Well this guy says he plays the man although i never saw him try any bluffs, he just put his chips in with good cards.. didnt call other raises, all-ins unless he had something himself. so his strength looked like a load of bullshit.

last poster, see Chris Moneymaker section and read the last post but every time it says "ivey" replace it with darden in this situation.

This Guy Is The Shizass Grove Street Rules

Yeah Boyeeee!!!

darden cant lose. if he doesnt get you on the poker table, then he'll rob you in the parking lot.
