What is the trick up his sleeve!?!?

If he thinks his opponents are nuts he will check raise marginal hands on drawy boards and GII.

That video is hilarious.

I think DN must realize that bet is heavily -EV for him. To gather $1kk shouldn't be a problem for 2+2 and that makes any real terms discussion unlikely.

That first hand was pretty damn funny. But that was like 5 years ago, in poker years that like 20. But he was playing pretty bad on the one drop and running like god so idk.

You've said nothing new here, and I therefore still think you're completely wrong about this.

To make anywhere near enough money to actually earn a living playing 100NL, you've got to mass multi-table every day for several hours and earn a profit doing so, after rake. I don't think DN is capable of doing that. Why do you assume he is capable of doing that just because he turns a profit at live poker?

Why do you assume he is not capable of doing that because he turns a profit at live poker?

You can assume he can't and you can assume he can it really doesn't matter because no one knows and there is no way of proving it unless the challenge happens, so please end this pointless discussion and shut down this thread.

Huh?

LOL. If it doesn't matter and is a pointless discussion, why are your panties in a bunch and why are you insisting this thread gets shut down?

I'm not wearing any panties

pics for proof or gtfo

im sorry but you guys are way overdoing two things

A) exaggerating how hard online games are: they are very tough particularly in the march-august timeframe, but a good player can still make a living off of them, he certainly wouldnt make 6 figures, but he would be able to make more than he would working at wal-mart, he'd make a good amount in the winter when the games are good, then make a small profit the rest of the year plus get rakeback......... just like every other nl100 pro thats living right now


B) exaggerating the whole "he just luckboxed some live donkaments that doesnt mean he is any good" theory that many on here way overblow

this isnt jamie gold we are talking about, eli elezra? give me a break, daniel made his money from poker not from business, i believe he is still the all time money winner (i dont pay attention to poker on tv anymore so not sure on that) and didnt get there by binking one big tournament but by winning consistently for 10+ years now

you guys are seeing how he plays when he is either freerolling or playing in tiny games online making a silly video and thinking thats his A game, what he is doing is being entertaining to make himself the most marketable player in the game


saying he would have to put in lots of hours multitabling....... well duh? thats what you have to do if you want to build a roll, and if he was in the position to need to build a roll thinking he wouldnt be able to do it is silly

even though we all knew from the beginning DN will come up with an excuse to back out of this, but i still can't help but to have high hopes for this thread... =(
oh well...

Where "this" is play poker on his sponsor's site. Unbelievable.

I find it pretty amusing that all these people are trying to deride Negreanu's overall poker skills. Afterall, he's really rich and not many, if any, of you guys could put a dent in his poker success and net worth. He must be doing something wrong...

Haters gonna hate man You know how jealousy is

Yeah cause it's not like he hasn't done the exact same thing to other people...

Chef Boyardee is probably the world's richest chef.

Did anybody post this tweet from DN about a week ago, says its getting more likely:

Daniel Negreanu ‏@RealKidPoker Aug 24
@Barry_Carter good read. Chances of this happening are increasing. My prediction: PAIN (not sure for which side though :-)

Hmm. Remember a few years ago he was making an effort to learn online poker again. Im a bit hazy on the details but I think he was getting coaching and actually being a bit humble briefly about the online game. I think he surprised everyone for a while and did ok but I assume he came crashing back to earth and went back to live.

Sorry, can anyone remember what actually happened? Its been a while.

10 * 0 is still zero.

Ah, the ole' overbet shove for information move.

Well he started issuing HU challenges to random 2p2 doubters in some thread and played against 2eazy at 25/50nl hu and lost.

link?

I assume he's referring to this:

EDIT:
Also, you could take posts out of this thread, stick them into the following one from five years ago, and never miss a beat:

I suddenly understand why Negreanu likes saying random stuff on twitter, but doesn't really feel the need to play 50,000 hands of online poker against the toughest players in the world.

He's already won at life.



His arcade machine contains a beer keg.

I would still bet against at this point.


But the thing is that the longer he delays, the more it wasn't really only 2 weeks he had to get ready, but however long it was he delayed plus two weeks. It has already been a full two weeks.
