Daniel Negreanu I am disappoint - Page 21 - Poker News

I saw Daniel in last year's WSOP. I brought my copy of his book and from the rail, I asked if he would sign my book during the next break. He told me, "Nah, I like to go to the bathroom on my breaks..come over here, and I'll sign it for you right now."

He signed my book, wrote out the whole "Good luck *name*!" deal and let me take a picture with him too between hands.

Greenstein barely gave me a handshake and he had NOTHING to do at all except stand there by himself.

Jason Mercier actually saw me again a few days after I first met him and asked me how I was doing and if I'd played in any more tournaments and how I had done.

So for me Daniel Negreanu and Jason Mercier were the easiest pros to talk to for sure and made Vegas that much more enjoyable for me. I think OP just caught Daniel on a rough day because from what I've heard and experienced..he is usually one of the nicer pros.

The way you seem to contrast Barry so much seems hypocritical given the overall message you seem to be trying to convey. You seem to give him a hard time because he ONLY gave you a handshake. Did you want him to cuddle with you? Weird because the rest of your post seems so reasonable.

How is it gay to notice a woman with bad makeup and suggest that she needs help lol. You've had a girlfriend before right? Well with all this gay stuff... I'll just leave it at that.

Have a nice day leave the gays out of this

I was out on the town having fun that night and I took at least 100 pics. Never has been a problem and never will be. Sorry I missed taking one with you. I had a few drinks, then had to "relieve myself" when I came back I don't remember anyone being there for a pic.

I was just having fun at the 1-3 game and giving a little loose action. It was fun. Anyway, sorry you felt dissed, I get it, and get why you may have taken it personal but I definitely wasn't trying to diss anyone.

I meet lots of people in a given day. 99% of the time I think it's a good situation, while sometimes I'm just preoccupied with something else and maybe a fan, or what have you feels neglected. It just happens sometimes.

He has a better excuse than I have, because he was drinking. My only excuse is I'm getting older! (Sorry also about driving slowly in the left lane with my turn signal on.)

2. Daniel has more money than I do, certainly helped by the fact that he has become the face of PokerStars.

3. I didn't know that girl was his girlfriend, and actually there were two girls sitting behind him when I showed up. (Known player's girlfriends, net worth, and personalities are often very different on NVG than in real life.)

Here's the posts from the pro's for all the lazy/dumb people that can't search people's posts. Added Barry Greenstein's as well

Negreanu: No. 350 million FPPs. The ones the U.S. players couldn't cash out were transferred to me.

Interviewer: Were you actually playing 1/3 at Aria?

Negreanu: I needed a win.

Interviewer: You ignored a fan during a conversation with Barry Greenstein then left in haste, what was that about?

Negreanu: Had my reasons, screw the fanboy.

Interviewer: No, I mean what was the conversation about?

Negreanu: Oh, Barry said Phil Ivey called and told him to tell me "to scoop my ho and take my cheap 1/3 playin' @$$ back to the strip". Else he'd send Big Tony in for the choke hold.

I can hardly stand to read 35 posts on a thread let alone 35 pages. But I did here, and now I gotta wear depends after so much laughing at this thread. Well done to the collective. A special thanks to DN and the smiling dog for the greatest sources of amusement.

Would bet my liferoll that over 75% of the people insulting that dude's wife either a) don't have a girlfriend/wife or b) have a girlfriend/wife that is far less attractive

pointyelbows.jpg would be relevant here, don't have a link to it though

Thank God for ANobleGent's occasional interjections. Amuse the hell out of me, and clearly tilt the hell out of a lot of 2+2ers.... which also amuses the hell out of me. As one other poster said, an hilarious (and predictable) NVG response to uber-politeness. Speaks volumes. It's really quite amazing how many comments are made about him, can't read one thread without someone referencing him somewhere. Sir, I doff my cap to you.

The albino lady is intriguing.

And the smiling dog is just immense.

The casual racism towards Canada in this thread is also commendable.

MODs should move this to the 2nd post. Great Cliffs

However, while his actions may be uncalled for, let's not be too critical of his behaviour without hearing his side of the story. He may have a lot on his mind which can impact his actions in public, and in my opinion the fact you took it so personally means you are too attached to the guy.

This thread is something else. OP should be thankful he wasn't told to **** off by Negreanu. This whole idea of taking pictures with celebrities is disgusting and must be absolutely annoying. I'm surprised so many of them go along with that.
