Daniel Negreanu would bet 1 million dollars that he could beat high stakes online NLHE - Page 25 - Poker News

Solid response by DN, imo. It's not that hard to get rid of seat scripts/bum hunting, go to a universal lobby where you click your stake and then you're sat down at a table, easy game.

Actually seems to me that when he made his initial tweet he probably assumed he'd have the ability to game select pretty hardcore, as he's said throughout that he'd want to do, and maybe he would have followed through and taken on the challenge had he not then learned about the whole seating script situation.

DN's tweet:
@DanielColman_ mostly selecting. Not playing top guys HU or 3 handed. Games are often better anyway when I sit. People take shots

I agree that DN's statement is unrealistic but some of you guys are really overdoing how tough cash games are online (except for high stakes).

100nl/200nl is still pretty soft. Most regs are playing pretty straight forward and I'm 100% sure DN EASILY could crush those stakes without any practice (and 400nl/600nl too with a little practice). I'm positive I could teach a friend who knows nothing about poker how to beat 100nl in two weeks.

smart by daniel to wait for online to be back in the US to start the challenge. now he can get coaching for a year or so on the DL and jump into the games

The question is when (if ever) will online poker come back to the US?

thats why its so smart by him. this bet will never happen especially for this amount in this timeline now when he says after 2 weeks he'd be a slight loser but then eventually after a determined number of hands he'd be a winner

The DN couldn't beat 100NL comments are probably more absurd than him thinking he could beat 25/50.

someone who has never beat any 6m online cash games over an extended period of time is unlikely to start today at ssnl

dude is a live tourney reg, not online cash reg

It's 100NL, it's not that hard hard to beat. He has a ton of experience playing all forms of poker and the tournaments he plays in are very deep stacked. It's not like he's an online MTT pro who spends the majority of his time playing 20-30bb stacks.

Get over yourself bruh, beating 100NL isn't much of an accomplishment.

Lol at idiot dolts who think beating low - mid stakes is hard. Im pretty sure most dolphins + apes ect have the brain capacity to do so. Just lack a grind station.

Daniel neg would crush 100nl morons

its not, but when you've never been a cashgame specialist you're not going to be a winner starting out at 100nl

apparently you play 200z/100z, you really think dn would beat those games vs 5 regs?

or do you actually think anyone can start out winning at 100nl?

I don't think he'd be struggling at 100 or 200z , a lot of the regs are pretty poor esp at 100nl

I dont play 6max but when i have maybe dabbled in it i think most suck. So yes i do think he could easily win. He would not be playing against 5 good regs lol - maybe 1 reg who is actually very good. 2 ok regs 1 fish reg and a fish.

reg is relative- i don't know what connotations come with the term 'reg' when you use it.
