Lol at people betting against a guy who has completed the full Choice Center program and is now a choice center master guru

Some people just want to throw their money away

This challenge could also help highlight the seating script issue when DN sees how redic he gets hunted

Not if the people pooling money together to bet against DN are his players at the table for how many hands.

i'm guessing he actually believes he can. What a joke. He'd be very lucky to BE at nlhe 2k. Maybe he thinks his goofy chat skills are transferable to online idk.

lolz

This is like the perfect Stars promo. I bet Daniel wouldn't really lose anything if he did lose the bet. Nothing wrong with it if it's true, i think it's a great idea It will create a lot of action/interest.

Daniel (and apparently many others) missed the memo concerning the fact that online high stakes isn't relevant anymore. It was all a scam, that is, when it meant something.

Does anyone know if he can even beat live NLHE cash games? How often does he play NLHE cash games?

Didn't he say something like this a few years ago too?

I doubt he plays live NL games ever these days, but I would be pretty surprised if he was losing in your average high stakes live game line up.

Wait, I thought all live players were fish and could never even beat micro steaks. Daniel doesn't know this?

A few years ago he started playing a lot of 25/50nl online just to get better and to prove to himself he could beat it. I don't remember final results but I am pretty sure he did ok.

Almost everyone would be just as delusional as Daniel if they ran as good as he has in hsmtts in the last couple of years or w/e.

But really hope this bet goes forward, should be fun to rail regardless of outcome.

considering he has had past coaching from Ike I think hes pulling a sick hustle with that offer.

This is most likely what will come from all of this if anything does at all. Instead of okay I will play xxxxx hands in xxxxx time at these stakes and win, it will probably end up being a bunch of weird rules that have never been used in a prop bet before to make it more +ev for him.

50k hands in 2 months isn't going to happen if its 25/50+ for him, maybe if it was done at 5/10 zoom (which if you are reading this DN, klink mentioned this in his offer and it is BY FAR your best route) he could get that many hands in 2 months but it seems pretty unlikely. The possible cheating in 5/10 zoom scenario will be very high with random people playing in those games because he is playing

Unless pokerstars changes the way the high stakes games run, there is probably close to no chance that DN and one of these types ever end up in the same game together

Yeah @Mason Malmuth, these HS players have seating scripts that automatically place them in the game when a fish sits, so the moment Daniel sat down the table would fill instantly. That would make it impossible for another rec player to get into the game.

He and Hellmuth are masters of promotion. The difference is Negreanu believes his own bs.

I mean at first I was like "No way, somebody please take him up on it", but then I thought about the implications in case this would really happen and Negreanu would have a pretty big chance of getting crushed. Do we really want to see the only poker player with some mainstream following post tweets about how he´s getting murdered at 5/10? What good will any of that do for Online Poker?

Also, it's my opinion that Negreanu is aware of this since (going from memory) he made this exact argument when he offered to play anyone heads-up for large amounts of money back in 2005 when he worked as a host in The Wynn Casino Poker Room. In addition, isn't this similar to what just happened at the One Drop Tournament?

Best wishes,
Mason
As has been stated, you seem to be very out of touch with how seating works in high stakes games in 2014. Unless it is zoom, then the moment either Daniel, an amateur, or any unknown name sits down, the table will instantly fill with regulars.

So, as a live fish, who has never played using a HUD ... what exactly are the reasons that top live players could not beat the HS online guys?
