Haxton and Negreanu just bought in multiple times to level opponents and NVG, and make final table of $250,000 Boutique Challenge

Maybe he hasn't heard?

Just grew like a chia pet....

This is your example of him lying? He made it so outrageous that nobody could possibly think he was being serious.

Then what was the necessity for his demeanour and explanation? DN is a joker through and through and he shows it. Yet when he said this, no playfulness. He even went as far as to explain it.

Again like I said I wish I knew what EPT video it was, but he was on the final table and somebody was shocked by his hair. Again he gave the same story. You think he decided I am going to go around and tell this outrageous story nobody will believe to every person I come across? No.

I probably would pay more than a 10% markup for Seidel or Ivey shares in one these. However, I am not sure how that is relevant. Suppose Haxton sold 100% of himself in $250K MTTs at a 10% markup. Then he makes $25K with no risk for a couple days work.

Presumably they are expecting to profit on these buyins in the long run. Just like if you bought into a bunch of Sunday majors. It is basically the same thing, but at much higher stakes.

This is the nature of high stake games cash or tournament. Not sure why people are upset about it. Maybe they are jealous.

Some people itt, especially op, better never walk by a craps game. They might go into shock from all the gambling.

Daniel Negreanu ‏@RealKidPoker 7h
@daniel_shak it's neither good or bad. If there is a market for a format and event type then people should be free to play as they wish.

Daniel Negreanu ‏@RealKidPoker 7h
@SammyTheDentist @daniel_shak if people want to play $1 mill turbos with endless rebuys, that is their choice and should be free to do it.

Yet Daniel was on the committee to have rebuys gone from WSOP because it was "buying a bracelet"

Unlimited rebuys do take the most trivial statistic in poker (lifetime tournament winnings) and makes it even more meaningless.

What's really sick is that Negreanu and Haxton, who must have set some sort of record in terms of buy in amounts for a single tourney (outside of 1drop) and have dropped $1.285 million and $1.135 million in buyins respectively during the Aussie Millions(including ME and $25k event) are both guaranteed to come out with a profit at this point...

I still don't see the difference...if there is a market for unlimited rebuys in a tournament then people should be able to play it. If you can't afford 10 rebuys or whatever then don't play.

Also, I still think wsop got rid of rebuy events because they can't take juice off rebuys and the play is super deep so it lasts longer...they'd rather have people re-enter take the extra rake every time

I have no idea the terms of Daniel's deal, but logic would dictate that the reality is closer to the latter scenario (Stars pays him x-amount, he pays y-amount for his poker buyins).

This. He also probably has bonuses built into his contract for TV tables, GPI standings, etc.

Edit: It's also very unlikely that if his contract includes a buy in to a 100 or 250k buyin tournament that it wouldn't be Stars branded

So despite the risky bankroll management, Dneg and Ike profited 550k and 1.5m, respectively, between the two SHR's they fired multiple bullets in. I know it's being results oriented, but I think you have to be in these circumstances. Don't think either of these guys would have been crippled financially had they not cashed at all. At this point I'd bet that they are both happy with their decision to reenter.
