IMO, the only hand worthy of the cooler moniker is the boat vs quads. And I personally think he should have been able to fold to Gus's river raise on that hand. Ignoring that hand, Daniel has been playing like a donkey. He repeats this cycle over and over:
1) Wow, your actions seem to indicate that you have me beat. Also, the board has developed in a way that has greatly weakened my hand.
2) Let me stop and list off all the hands that beat me. Wow, pretty long list of reasonable hands.
3) But man, way back on the flop, I really was sure that I was ahead in the hand.
4) What is it to me? Some fairly large amount of money? Okay, let me count it out.
5) Well, if I lose this, then it was bad luck. Okay, I call.
