Wow. This was painful to watch.

He watched a made for TV poker game...

Funny how all the "smarts" demanding a meaningful sample size point to a small sample size to extrapolate their own strong-held opinions.

You don't get it. Online regs can cure cancer.

The widely accepted point is he is PLAYING BADLY in numerous spots as well as running badly, although I understand you're incapable of comprehending given your other posts

Results need sample size, mechanics don't. You can see results of an mlb player who's 1 for his last 20 and he could be really good but just running bad. But if you watch one at bat where he has a loopy swing with fundamentals all wrong you can pretty easily tell he's bad.

Yep, cold calling a raise with A8hh OOP vs Tom Dwan and two limpers is going to be a profitable situation for you there Daniel.
That's the Negreanu I know! Maybe he'll flop a lil som'in som'in there HO HO HO!

Lol he actually said 'I can raise him right now on the flop and see where I'm at'

It's pretty funny watching how he comments on the hand with his expressions and reasoning, he's actually proud of what he's doing in there and how he's rationalizing

it's that same delusion that he's brought into this thread with this challenge proposal. Aside from regulation if more people like Daniel existed poker would be a lot better off in general.

I like how he says "I'm not putting another chip in the pot", then says "if Dwan bets I'm in a really tough spot."

So you have already made your decision to not put another chip in the pot regardless, but then you're in a really tough spot if he bets? How does that work?

It's almost like DN doesn't expect anything he says to be taken seriously so he feels free to say ridiculous wacky stuff that makes no sense.

Wow. Just wow. Is this real life?

'He might bet again with anything. If he has a hand like 89s he might just bet again to steal the pot.'

'I raise'

i seem to remember there being several hands that were even worse.

but that was a loooong time ago, so i think it's pretty irrelevant to DNs current skill. back then most online winners had thought processes that would seem terrible by today's standards.

After all those years of playing poker, just mind boggling how bad he is. Perhaps even weirder is his delusions of being able to beat 25-50 online.

lol at giving 3:1 odds to make him fold an ace or a flush draw.

"But now he makes the call... and I'm a little worried."

Best part of the video, lmao.

this is even worse imo.

Just bad luck, man.

Only read the last couple of post itt, but wow u nvg newbtards make me sick.. obviously u have no clue about the evolution and dynamics of poker and especially NL and how it has changed in many stages.
For example there was a time when everyone was at least 3x'ing. In fact ONLY fish would ever minbet PF or any street. Im not kidding! clickraising was fishy. No one on p2p would ever do it, not even once
And this doesn't mean there wasn't great players back then and great poker discussions going on, just because the games where different and now seem juicy now. Most players was losing (90+% or whatever). NVG tards was broke and tarding it up like today. Great and good players makes money! - in that sense nothing has changed. Only edges has gotten thinner

Ok, now about the HSP hand^^
One could argue that DN saved money by "seeing where I'm at"... Why did the big boss durrrrrr instacheck behind?? Top2, aces up, blank river, DN checking, less than half the potsize stacks left.. gotta check that river behind. insta check


I dunno if DN could adapt and beat 25/50 online or 5/10 whatever.. but to say or think he's not a great poker mind is just sillly

Didn't think he was bad enough to have a lone ace.

what better hands is he checking?

It takes a large sample to prove you're a winner. It takes one hand to show you're just clicking buttons.

The A8hh hand is LOL "analysis" but the preflop call is as standard as it gets IMO (you're not gonna fold and playing a multiway deep with a suited ace is totally fine, no need to 3bet too).

If he doesn't have Ax what worse hands is he check-calling?

Says the dude posting drivel in multiple consecutive posts.

Really poor comment. Guy is bankrolled by Cirque du Soleil and is a relatively smart guy, he's managed to make poker look plenty tough.

Cirque is Guy's business.

Pokerstars is NOT Daniel's business. He is just a face. He does not control anything that goes on there nor does he have the power to change anything there.
