Dave is I believe, working the system. He has developed a TV personality deliberately and it's working for him! Can't say what it would be like playing at his table with him as a player but I would think you would have to be ready to deal with the constant banter <LOL> Do keep in mind that Dave is a tournament player. When seen on the WSOBJ and other featured presentations, he is playing against other players. Quite different than playing at a cash table like we play. Any advantage he can get is a good one!
