Probably he thinks about one session at 1 table With good table selection it's easy doable of course.

If they made changes to make it easier for DN, then it would no longer be a valid bet. His claim is that he can beat high stakes online - not that he can beat a modified version of it.

He is def drawing dead at 5knl 6 max due to seat scripts. His best chance is at 1knl zoom, but even that would fill up with basically every 500z/1knl and prob 2knl reg 4 tabling it, and ya there would be way more fish when Daniel is playing, but they would prob all be one tabling (and it incentivizes more regs to play since there are more fish besides Daniel)

Daniel might not have played too much volume but I'm sure he has thought about and studied his game for a great amount of time and under high pressure nearer the start. I think as pressure has receded due to having more comfortable circumstances then although his deck reading ability is still insanely accurate, I think that sometimes he does not go with the read. Kind of lack Helmuth he can say no to mathematical probability when it is absurd but just happens to be right that time.

Going into an online venue full of players with much more volume experience due to more hands/hour compared to live donkaments, then if he was playing one table and had his 2 weeks adjustment period, he would certainly be a contender depending on the line up. Against elite player's then it's just going to be variance in the deck and in the rock paper scissors, the latter maybe being more difficult for Daniel away from a live game.

I don't know how he would transfer the 'induce' aspect of his poker game though because he clearly performs in a live setting for these ends.

Overall he is easily top 5 poker player when on A game. On high stakes poker tv series didn't he come out with net profit?

Id be interested in betting but only after knowing the terms.. nothing has been said yet. For example

Can DN get coaching?
How many hands
Time limit
Can he play hu?
Is the bet 1:1?

Etc. If DN is serious he can start posting details.

LOL he'd prolly win. I see him 1 tabling it while getting major coaching on the side so even if he just wins 1 buy in after 50k hands or whatever easy ship of the milly imo.

It would take him like 2 years so to get to 50k hands and with good table selection, so plenty of time to study under some of the best coaches.

Hell online poker might be opened up to the US by then and its and easy game for him.

If he says he can beat 5kNL then the challenge should be run as a home game that only allows players who have played a significant amount of 5kNL this year to get a seat. This would be regardless of their playing ability and would be the only was to truly test his claim.

If the tables are open to anyone, or if it was played at zoom, his celebrity status would skew the landscape to the point that he wouldn't be playing in the 5kNL games as they actually are.

nobody is going to sign up just to play with daniel negreanu let's be serious

if this is a serious challenge then it should be against 5 long term winning players, otherwise who cares if he can beat some terrible players with lots of money?

Quit getting your panties in a bunch it's not that hard. There is no doubt he could win.

i don't think you guys are giving DN enough credit.
the dude has more money than practically everyone in the poker world and has been playing professionally for decades. i'm not saying he has the skill set of those playing 5k 6max on the regular, but to say he has absolutely no chance of being a winning player is silly. there will be no fear factor when he plays in a game like that, and if he just sticks to one table i don't see why it would not seem plausible for him to have a couple of winning sessions to make him a "winning" player over a small sample.

Anybody could do that, that's not the bet we're discussing

he didn't talk about winning one session or 2, he said he'd be a "winner"

which is so delusional of him, he's just completely unaware of how good online high stakes players are nowadays

I think the only ones that are delusional are the guys posting that it is impossible for him to be a winning player over say a 50,000 hand sample.

As I posted, I am certain he could do it if it was zoom if he put in the prepatory effort he noted and would certainly bet on DN on non-zoom if he made that same effort, there was an assurance of no collusion, and I was given any odds over +140.

apart from the occasional recreational fish (which the games run around), high stakes regs are unbelievably good poker players, way better than we could ever begin to imagine. they would absolutely crush Negreanu's soul and take all his money if he played in those games for any length of time. this challenge is complete suicide, he has no hope in hell of ever finishing in profit, unless Stars rig the deck in his favour.

Honestly, I believe he could get coaching every day for 5 years from the world's best players and still not be a winner at high stakes online. He simply doesn't possess the mental capacity required to process information quickly or accurately enough to compete with the guys in those games. It's obvious from watching him play and talk about the game. Stick to donkaments grandpa poker.
