Are you really implying that daniel forced kanu to post in here to defend him?

Negreanu probably could get 5m+ worth of action on this bet if he were serious. But he's not serious. Duh. Surely he doesn't need 5m or to become one of the top NL players in the world in just 2 weeks.

I think somewhere along the way Daniel has confused "believing in yourself" with utter stupidity and unrealistic perspective.

LOL, no.

you don't need a seat script to get in a good 25/50 game on stars

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 100% of the people saying its an asinine statement that DN couldn't beat midstakes NLHE 6max have no real recent history of putting in decent volume at said games.

Negreanu is a class act. He always take beats with a smile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uStys...IfcXWd0Eo_L3fA

Your "sure" of this huh? No chance you actually play 6m nlhe at any reasonable level, the thinking around here ITT that having one "fish" at a 25/50 6m game is just an auto couple BB/100 over 50k hands for Daniel really just dont get it IMO. It's just not that easy, particularly for someone who quite literally never plays 6max NLHE 100BB, even in this hypothetical,

1.) the fish usually aren't THAT horrendous, they just are compared to 25/50 regulars
2.) he still is at a table with 4 superstar 6m players who will destroy him over 50k.

if we all say ''you're a fgt! you cant do it'' on his twitter, maybe he will get pissed and take the challenge. like a reverse-homophobic strategy. he will raise money for homosexuality fundation during advertisement and make the challenge a big thing.

Sounds a bit contradicting when you say the fish arent THAT horrendous, but that the other 4 would destroy Daniel when he probably better than the fish.

I't kind of pointless to go back and forth on whether he can do this or not. He faired very well a while back nl 40k, to the point where he wasnt hunted anymore. So I don't see why he would get destroyed if he gets coaching and concentrates on this for 2 weeks before jumping in. With his poker mind and background he can do a lot in 2 weeks.

People seem to be very sure he has no chance, so just give me decent odds and I'll take Daniels side. A few in here has said he has close to 0% chance, so I'm sure you guys are willing to give me say 10-1, right? Should be easy money.

Really? On Stars in today's games?

Lol, wtf ru on about, many HS regs dabble in "softer" Euro sites and I would make a guess that 99% of HS regs have at some point.

Absolutely.

Seating scripts are a joke and there should be something done about it.

Either that (unlikely) or Kanu is just smart enough to know that speaking ill of his colleague would do him no favours.

He could have stayed away of course, but he has an opinion, and it's fairly authoritative.

Well, just look at the list of people lining up to bet against him being able to do it.

yes, you absolutely do need a seating script to get into any good game. that, or you have to already be sitting at the table beforehand.

lol come on, that's such a silly statement.

Pretty hilarious btw it all started with berating that a4 limpshove, while its surely not that bad and sometimes even std

**** just got real

That's not contradicting at all, obviously these regs who have played millions of hands of 6m and put it hundreds or thousands of hours of other work, and worked up to basically the height of their craft (6m 25/50 on stars) are going to be A Lot better then DN, and the "fish" alike.

He was not getting hunted at 40k? Really doubt thats true but my memory is foggy on it so I guess I'll see what others say.

I'm not taking a shot at DN with this opinion, this would go for all MTT pros, esp live pros. He'd be lucky to learn how to even use basic HUD stats for 6m in a couple weeks. Yes it seems very simple in theory, but actually incorporating many aspects of it into your gameplay, I.E changing your thought processes etc a little bit is not that easy, every time I even make a minor tweak to my hud it takes me a while to get used to it. A super crash course in two weeks, just doesnt seem like it would work IMO.

His "poker mind" and "backround" is just kinda nonsense. Is he a great live MTT player, obv course, but like others have said, that has about nothing to do with his capability of beating 25/50 6m.

rhaegar made 100 bi+ at 1k nl few years ago.

The idea of whether or not this is even remotely close to possible of being doable by a guy with no real online experience whatsoever in the time frame he mentioned is just laughable. Lol @ the hardcore fanboys with no real poker playing background being outted in this thread arguing that Daniel can do this. Small minority of course but still lol.

ive no idea who the fish was at the table , but earlier on stars there was a waiting list of 18 people waiting to sit at a couple of tables Kanu was sitting at

It's probably also quite possible that at the time of the initial tweet that Negs didn't fully realize that the 25/50 games on Stars are basically the toughest games out there as higher rarely if ever runs without a fish. When he last played online games bigger than 25/50 did run and so the 25/50 games were usually not the toughest games running.

No it's not.
