In b4 DN clicks the Post Reply. I'm sitting in the Public Library watching him type away on the free computers (I guess things really r rough), actually shedding a tear while he replies to OP.

Sorry, I forgot:
1401 East Flamingo Road!

You might as well speculate that Ivey or any Poker Player on the planet is broke, busto whatever. If Daniel is broke - and nobody knows about it, then it's just as likely that any random Big Name player can be busto.

As for Daniel's attitude. Who cares...

You can never expect anyone to act 100% like they should, could or whatever. It doesn't matter if it's in his contract to smile 24/7 and hang out with random people. He is still a human being and will have his ups and downs.
So you caught him at a bad moment, seemed annoying or whatever.

Basing any opinion about the man from one single meeting and blown up TV coverage, when 99% of what we see from him is super nice. Well... I don't know. Seems like leaping to conclusions to me.

This obv

lol you just could not be more wrong

"Disappoint" is a strange first name mate, what were ur parents smoking?

I lost respect for him when he said he couldn't comment on black friday and what was going to happen to players money because pokerstars told him not to. He has no problem talking about Annie Duke and sunglasses and every little thing nobody cares about but when something important happens he's "not allowed to comment". F*ck Him

"I am disappoint" is actually a very known meme amongst.
so maybe OP is just a troll and that was his tip.

Are you retxxxx, you do realise he might get into trouble if he is said not to comment on this topic and still does?
Its nothing he can do lol.

It's problem

it's not because he's too polite. it's because it's all one huge level

This attitude tilts me. Just because you become famous doesn't mean you don't have the right to live life as a human being. For some reason once people become famous (whether they want to or not) they become fair game for all the losers to tear them down to make themselves feel better about themselves.

It's this attitude that makes tabloid journalism so successful. Humans can be so great, but this facet of the human condition is neither healthy or progressive. In fact it's downright destructive. What gives us the right to know what happens in a celebrity's sex life? The halo effect is a fallacy, yet people see that imaginary halo and run with it - and god forbid if that halo slips and the moral outrage brigrade get hold of you.

Why can't people let other people get on with their lives without the need for scadenfreude to make their ****ty lives a little bit better? Put yourself in that person's shoes for a second - sure it would be nice to be recognised, loved, asked for pictures etc. but I know it would get old fast and sometimes I would just want the 'fans' to leave me in peace.

I've gone off on a bit of a tangent here, but the whole celebrity obsession in our respective countries is ridiculous and i'm baffled as to why people think like this.

And btw OP, Daniel had the right to bitchslap you for interrupting his game and stalking him. You are lucky that he ignored after your teenie fan behaviour.

Pretty douchey tho, like if kobe bryant went to a bball court in LA to shoot around with his gf and just ignored everyone who asked him for an autograph he would prob get shot?

If an athlete wants to deny autographs or pictures, that's his choice to damage his image. And that's your choice not to contribute (if you choose) by not going to games, watching games, buying sports memorabilia, etc. Pretty analogous imo. Daniel gets paid to represent Pokerstars. Athletes are paid to represent their organization.

You also conclude with Daniel has the right to privacy like any other person, but earlier seem to insinuate that sports figures have less of a right because their salaries are paid by spectators.

OP is not very clever. Leave Daniel alone.

really? 1 million a hole, thats hard to believe

I have always felt it was strange for an adult to approach anyone of notoriety for an autograph and or pics,. Same goes for grown men that wear sports jerseys with another guys name on the back. all that should be kids 12 and under only.

I think DN should be called out for whining constantly about the new rule of talking once players are heads up, he went on forever, some "Pro" DN

I get to hang and travel with b/c list celebs quite a bit. I can see where people can come away with both good and bad impressions of the same person. It is all in the timing. There are times they are willing to chat and photograph, and there are times they wish to not be bothered. Interrupting a conversation or a meal can have unsatisfying results.

Pics of the gf?

never liked the guy anyway.

Often extremely annoying character (not funny at all and likes to be at the center stage, well not if PA, Ivey or Durrr are around)

Not a great player imo (too many times way of the mark and not enough confidence at the table, too passive, and would make moves only against weaker opponents while strong players would push him around in cash games all the time)

I am a nobody in poker world comparing to him, but this is my opinion. Pokerstars keeping him their main face is a little annoying too. Isildur makes a lot more sense already.

On this ******ed argument about Negreanu's net worth and income, I would bet that without even picking up a hand of cards at all he has been bringing in well over a million bucks a year. He has endorsements, books, movie and TV deals, investments, web sites including a subscription training site, and probably a lot more irons in the fire that aren't even public knowledge. It's rumored that his Poker Stars deal was worth over $2 million a year alone.

******s gonna ******.

I guess we'll have to weigh this story vs the hundreds I've heard from people talking about how cool and accessible Daniel is and determine who the jerk was in this situation.

People are missing alot of key points. If he wanted some down with his girlfriend where he can be affectionate... playing at a 1-3 table is the last place on earth that would make sense to be for that..so yes i agree with OP on why he was doing that....Also..i doubt he was having a serious conversation with greenstein... again.. he was at a 1-3 poker table.he wasnt confronted somewhere private.if DN is playing 1-3 he should EXPECT people's requests considering he is a star and he is in a poker room..its the equivalent of Lebron James being at the NBA all star weekend and not expecting people to ask for autographs...

...if it was anything halfway serious as far as their conversation goes you can bet they're not doing it at the poker table....there's also no way he gets up and walks right by the two of them and doesn't remember he promised them a picture.

(FWIW DN took a picture with me at the PCA a couple years ago which i respect alot..but i'm trying to be unbiased here)
