Action Dan is truly the man. A real class act in the Poker world. You young guns had better look out for this guy.

Its pretty funny how his nickname is "action dan" and yet he never plays a hand. I suppose Gus Hansen's nickname can be "Conservative Gus." Sorry oldfart but you are borriiinng. More Hansens and less Harringtons PLZ!!! T.j cloutier is on the same boat.

why would you want more hansens and less harringtons??? who cares if he is a boring player!!! he is MUCH better player than hansen.

He is NOT a better player than Hansen. Not even close. Nothing special about him at all. So easy to read. Thats why its been so long since he won anything and thats why he will never win another title. Fact of the matter is he needs cards to win and Hansen doesn't. The End.

harrington - 3 final wsop main event tables including one win. Hansen - ???

I really enjoyed reading and learning from [Harrington on hold em vol1]. You must be doing something write, we are writing you [a world champion]. So I guess your style works. good luck in the big tourny.

More titles than Harrington

I recently finished 52nd in the Paradise Masters Tournament,online,had a great game,and as a complete novice/amateur was sent on cloud nine when some of my friends at Paradise informed me that there were a lot of pros in the tourney,such as Dan...I feel greatly privelidged to have played in the same tourney against these guys and am full of resolve that next time I WILL REACH THE FINAL and be most honourned to meet these poker GODS in the flesh...Wow what a buzz for a lowly person such as myself.Maybe 1 day you will be talking about me the same way,in fact YES you will...much respect and hope all your hands are BIG.....Good luck to the 10 finalists

Good luck to you John in future tourneys.

Gus Hanson is one of my favorite players and I have tons of respect for Dan Harrington. They are such different players I would really love to see them heads up together with the same chip count and see what happens. Gus is to the extreme loose and Dan is to the extreme tight...Obviously both systems of poker they use works because they have both been very successful. My money would be on Gus however Dan has the knowledge and know how that it should be a interesting and good match up.

Nothing special about Harrington? Two straight final tables at the WSOP. Harrington is easy to read? He made a great bluff with rags at last year's WSOP and everyone folded. He knows how to use his supertight table image.

Hansen has won 3 WPT events ith a few hundred players, and many of them newbies to the game. Harrington has won a main event braclet had a final table before the win and 2 final talbes since the win in the 2 largest fields in all of poker. Hansen is an undisiplined fuck who holds stupid cards against a big raise and often gets lucky. He's also not very aggresive, Very loose, but not aggresive. Dan Rules.

Great player by far, but that green hat has to go!!

Whens Vol.2 of his book coming out?

above someone wrote about Harrington playing on paradise. does anyone know what names some of these dudes play under at Paradise Poker? Thanks!

Now this guy has skill. he isnt an 'all in specialist' Like some of the more known players.

Harrington is the man!!

this pisses me off. have a long biography about this guy. i love emulating my play after him. being a tight agressive player gives you a lot of respect. and i love the respect when i bet.

Great player, but strikes me as an oddball. I bet he tipped the dealer $50 when he won the WSOP.

Gah why do so many people forget that Dan has made FOUR WSOP ME final tables, not three. He was there with Chan in 1987.

And shame on this site for the paltry bio above. Harrington has not only done it in big tournaments, both recent and old, he was also an excellent live game player. He's strictly about tournaments now but this guy was great at both. He has no weaknessess.

hey i heard somewhere the espn is dropping the wsop, is this true or not?

I'm quite sure they will drop one of their biggest ratings earners.

One of the best poker players ever.

I've read just about every book written on No Limit and think Dan Harrington's is the best. Very well organized. I've read it three times and still learn something every time. Where can I write to him to let him know?

he's about the only true player. Him and brunson. The rest suck.

harrington's call in his 95 win with a pair of 8's was aweseome and taught me so much. Yes, I know it was top pair. But if you can listen to his rational through all the noise of the winning moment, you hear him explain that the bet by his opponent looked like an over bet considering the situation and how the pre-flop betting went. Now, that's how you read a player.

I can't get that ridiculous ghetto ass green hat with no bend on the bill out of my head.. YOU ARE MEGA WHITE DUDE!!

I model my game after him. Solid and tight, exercises great patience, knows when to call and knows when to bluff, has no weak links!

Even though I HATE that Red Sox hat!

did u know hes related to padraig harrington the top golfer? padraig was telling me about dan when we played at st andrews the other week...ive now got dans number..might ring him later in the week after ive been to scottys to arrange a home game

i am glad hes getting the respect he deserves. the only conservative player that stands a chance today.

this guy has made the final table 4 times 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th...i dont care what ppl say about loose agressive play this is a better record than even chan 4 total final table appearances, sure he may have won twice (like 15 years ago) this guy has been one of the best players 4 the last 20 years or so

Action Dan is the Man!!! Great player!

I am going to bring you down this year son!

Expect another final table appearance at the WSOP - but he won't win it. Why? Because some pokerstars schmuck will get luckier.

Hansen better than Harrington? Please. WSOP main event success is more telling than the 300 player WPT player fields. Hansen is good at what he does and is very deceptive. But I'd be shocked if he ever won a WSOP bracelet.

Shut up about Dan hes my friend

Action dan should lay off the ritallin, has anyone heard him talk?

Ive had the pleasure of hearing Dan talk..weve talked for hours on the phone and on the golf course..theres nothing wrong with his voice
