This thread is too long to read the whole thing. I doubt this ever happens. But if it were to happen, depending on when it happens and the specific terms, I think I'd put up $10K to $30K of the $1M against at even odds. Would be willing to put up the same in a third party prop bet also, provided there is an acceptable escrow.

Daniel tweeted to his "coach" Kanu that he has a trick up his sleeve that no one knows about.

In before Stars activates God mode for him or gives him his own tables that Script users won't be able to access without manually sitting.

this is like the dodgiest tweet ive ever seen. WTF

For what it's worth, it's not about whether Negreanu would beat 25/50 NL after putting in "the necessary study," but rather whether Negreanu could beat those stakes after two weeks. Even with the best minds at his disposal, two weeks is a tall, tall order.

Could he do it after a year? Given all your reasons, I think he probably could. But that's not what he claimed.

It's the timeline that has received the most LOLs here.

maybe negraneu is actually otb_redbaron this whole time grinding up from nl400

Timeline is lol yes, im on wcgrider in the sense of "2 weeks of work" is basically the same as just logging onto stars to play some 25/50.

the thing i really do hate is how everyone acts like anyone beating midstakes holdem is a genius. lets not do that. online poker isnt even hard these days, its just not as easy as it allegedly was at one point.

lol psychosocial

Pretty wide range there, lol 10-30. Just empty your life roll and dbl it since you're sure about this one

so if it isn't that hard nowadays, why don't you go play 25/50 and make heaps of money? what stops you?

Probably aliens.

@danielmerrilees I never proposed any details. It's a mute point until regulation. Quality of life trumps making a bet that has me away

I think he means a moo point, like a cow's opinion.

mute, moo, mooooooooooot?

Daniel "I didn't propose any details" Negreanu throwing down two week, 1mm challenges on Twitter like a boss...

If he's going to wait until regulation to consider doing this (aka a US only Stars that doesn't have most of the best regs and loads more fish) then yes, he could beat 25/50 w/ 2 weeks of study.

Maybe Stars has him stirring everyone up so they can use this prop as advertisement when they come back like FTP used to do with the nosebleeds.

Quality of life?? Really?? This is such a ****ing cop out. He could move to Vancouver and live in basically the same style of living he has now, for a mere 2-3 months to win a million dollars (plus whatever he earned at the table, which would obv be nothing). It's not like he has to go live in Africa or something. Daniel just admit it man, you were bragging about what a beast you are, you threw out some huge number because you didn't think anyone would take you up on it, and got snap called, and now you're backing out. Stop making excuses about why you don't want to spend a few months to make a milly, and stop trying to pretend that you have so much money that a million doesn't matter to you. It's super absurd.

Plus there is regulated poker in NV. The Stars regs should call him out on this and make the trip to Nevada for a couple of months. WSOP.com should step in and throw down the red carpet for this to happen, even though we all know it won't for obvious reasons.

I'm sure Poker Stars would be all for the face of their site doing a challenge on a site that is going to be their biggest competitor in the US market.

That's why I said it wouldn't happen for obvious reasons...

I was just pointing out another way for people to call DN on his bluff.

I'm sure he'll be spending some time in NJ here in a few months when Stars launches so why not just meet there? (presuming you could get 15-20 highstakes regs to come to the US just for Daniel and that the site will even have 25/50)

+1

So Kanu is a hardcore fanboy? Someone posted earlier in this thread that Ike Haxton also said he thought DN could do it, but a) I never saw this posted from Ike himself to the best of my knowledge; and b) the second sentence of that post was "prob because Ike wants to play DN at these stakes (which could possibly be a motivating factor).

I don't post often or eloquently, but I lurk fairly regularly. I see your name pop up all the time. 99% of your posts are one of the following:

1. "lol sample size you can't learn anything from 500,000 hands, you need at least 500 billion hands to have any idea of your true winrate"

2. "lol donkaments"

3. "Online players suck.... did I mention lol sample size, your entire career is the same as 1 month of online play.... lolsamplesizeaments!!!11!"

4. posts generally attacking anyone who doesn't think midstakes+ online NLHE winners are geniuses.

I know nothing about who you are, and I've never seen anyone call you out, so maybe you are a high stakes winner, or maybe I just don't lurk enough to have seen you called out. Or maybe most people are too lazy to call you out, as I have been up until now.

My read on your range as a person is that you are one of the following:

1. A person who doesn't play poker at all, but used to win a bit and then moved on because "you had better opportunities" but really left because you couldn't beat the games anymore, and you're trying to elevate the players you couldn't beat to make yourself feel less inadequate. And you're bitter about that. (20% of your life range, only so low because I've never seen anyone call you out before, which, as I've mentioned, I definitely noticed).

2. Currently beat small stakes, do okay for yourself, but feel bitter because you think you're smarter than most people working regular jobs who make as much or more than you (45% of your life range).

3. Currently beat mid-stakes and maybe even the occasional juicy high stakes game, but feel bitter because you think you're smarter than most people working decently high-paying regular jobs or own businesses who make as much or more (in some causes way more) than you (20% of your life range).

4. Currently beating high stakes games, but feel bitter because you think you're smarter than most people working top-paying regular jobs or own businesses who make exponentially more than you do. (10% of your life range).

5. Either a well-adjusted person at a regular to high paying job or someone who owns a small business who just has a penchant for trying to sound smart on the Internet by saying things like "your sample size means nothing lol." (5% of your range). This is your release after dealing with stupid customers/bosses during the day. If this is actually you, you beat me good sir, gg.

In any case, reading your posts has clearly rustled my jimmies (jimmiesrusted.jpg, lawnmowersflying.jpg,etc.).

lol i love this description so much

when you are talking to someone who plays poker and they start mentioning better opportunities, they are basically telling you they aren't winning anymore


could you give me a similar type of breakdown plz

Maybe I'm just right and you don't need to project insecurities on me. In the subset of poker players, the number that can win at midstakes+ online is less than 1 in 1000. If you had 99.9 percentile intelligence in any other field nobody would question that you are a genius.
