yup.

basically if he didnt have any seating edge theres 0 chance he could be a true winner at 25/50+ (probably lower stakes) in 2 weeks. infact, its possible he could never be a winner in that situation given unlimited coaching and time.

From what I understand and I can completely wrong because Im just reading between the lines of discussions; one of the top seating programs has a queue system for those who have the same program.

Get em Danny.

One Drop coverage hitting the airwaves in the states right now. I'm sure DNegs heard from every Twitter railbird about how horrible all his plays were and it got under his skin. Guess the lesson in Twitter psychological defense mechanisms hasn't been offered at Choice Center yet

lol at 50k hands determining anything at all in aggressive games.

Is this a level?

no. It's not a large sample of online hands. Especially given the higher variance nature of high stakes, which increases standard deviation. Captain Obvious imo.

The variance is high and the winrates are very low, what are the best 6-max players making at that stake, 3-4bb/100 for the top 10% maybe?

Would take up to 50k against, but this won't happen. Arrogant and disrespectful claim. Clearly bit off more than he can chew and this will never be attempted as he knows he slipped up...

Obviously it's not perfect but what are you going to do require that he play 5 million hands? You have to pick a realistic number at some point.

In order for a six handed game to be super tough, the sixth best player has to quite good. But if he is, why wouldn't he realize he should be playing smaller? In other words unless these almost top notch players are essentially suckers, one would expect at least one weak player in the game. And one weak player might be all that Daniel would need.

Yeah but what if there are plenty of HSNL regs ready to seat-script bum hunt Daniel because they see HIM as the sucker? Now he's the sixth best player in the game..

that alextrev guy is making 10bb/100 at 5knl 6max over 100k hands but he does bum hunt a fair bit just like any of the others at those stakes so I assume theres a few more with solid win rates.

Daniel is the weak player in these games and he is out of his mind if he thinks he has even the slightest edge vs any of the regs at 25/50 on Stars, also this 2 week practice thing sounds ludicrous what can he learn in 2 weeks thats going to give him a edge? As soon as he sits in the table will instantly fill with regs

There is no doubt Daniel is a amazing talent at tournaments and mixed games but this 1 million challenge is just unbelievable, i think he is seriously overestimating his ability and underestimating the quality and hard work that these players have put in over the years to be able to compete at this level

Sounds like Negreanu is just doing a promotion for PokerStars to hopefully get more action at the 25/50 and up games, but I don't see any way he beats the regs over any significant sample size. I'd like to see a Negreanu/Colman heads up 50k hand challenge playing 25/50 NL but know it would never happen.

Daniel Negreanu ✔ @RealKidPoker

@TyRaeL_88 @danielmerrilees I couldn't be any more serious. 2 weeks. 5 hours playing, 4 hours studying numbers daily. Would bet a million.

@RealKidPoker @TyRaeL_88 @danielmerrilees I call, game is a lot different then 4 years ago
9:22 PM - 14 Aug 2014

he said he couldnt be more serious so Idk why hed back out

also I think getting coaching for kanu and ike is going to win him more than 1kk in the long run so its a good investment regardless

not on poker stars.

25/50 requires seating script wars, problems with getting sample (although once DN is online the game would run on how many tables he pleases so there is that).
Why not bet he won't win pre rb at 2.5/5 ZOOM though ?

Name any sport and tell if someone can beat the best by training in 2 weeks. That's like Manchester United say they can beat Chelsea consistently by training in 2 weeks. Laughable.

i wont mirrion

Man Utd and Chelsea are pretty even matched to begin with so it's not a great analogy...more like saying that Coventry could beat Chelsea with two weeks intensive training - that is laughable...

DN also seems to think that if he gets two weeks training from Ike? the like of Polk/Kanu will be standing still...

Pmsl. I remember that. Got to laugh at Daniel 'testing himself'. He actually struggled with 50NL. Four years ago. This gives me great confidence he can see a challenge through

Lol

I would actually be interested in a serious response to this from Lefort or someone with that level of credibility.

I'm guessing it's just that some people misconstrue their edge in certain circumstances but who knows

But even if there is a fish in the game, you would have to think the better players would eat him up before Daniel did way too much of the time for it to be profitable for Negreanu. Daniel is going to be making mistakes against the fish that the more GTO players would never do.

I doubt it will be Ike that give the training. Most likely Ivey.

agree with punter, if danial want to really do this he should play 200K+ hands of 5/10 or 2/5 zoom 6max, similar to what OTBRedBaron did for his "crushing zoom minichallenge" PGC thing. that way he can easily get the volume, always get action. Of course i'm pretty sure that the 2 weeks hard study he will crush those games!
