Hey there, this is what I first wrote on this topic

Yes, his style worked. All three hands were among his first 10 minutes/50 hands of play. Two of them were std coolers though, the third one I would have folded otr if I had known he was playing a nittish style for fullring on 2008
The only hand that got to the river without being AI is that one, I also said many times that this hand happened within 30-40 hands of him sitting (he was 4tabling so, two orbits tops) Now I'm sure many players from NVG would have figured out his VERY tight style within 30 seconds of him sitting but unfortunately I am not nearly that good

What amazes me though is how people on this forum and particularly this subforum think they own the truth and speak in such a way that makes it seem like they should be battling Forhayley and Katya at 25/50 on stars when in reality they either play microstakes cause they could never move up, or play live cause they could never win online, or are simply rec players because they cant win ever.

I know a few very good players and they all have something in common. They never speak in such a way. They always question what they know and what other people think they know. They are aware of the fact that if someone is making more money than them it's probably because they're making many things better than them. I can say for certain that not a single one of everyone that bashed me over these hands is making more money than me in today's online games, if they did, they wouldnt speak in such a way. If one of these guys show me I'm wrong I'll insta ship $200 to the charity of their choice.

No idea why I wrote so much on this topic, felt like writing. GL to everyone and specially to dnegs

Yes, the competent 2p2er would be more concerned with whether his table tendencies were gay or whether they were affected by brainwashing by choice center.

Ha. I have no idea who Arggg93 is and I can't play on Stars due to U.S.A., but most (if not all) of the criticisms of the 3 posted hands have been ridiculous.

Obviously you don't play that way if you know the opponent is playing 10/9.

But who the hell is going to assume that Daniel Negreanu is going to sit down at 1/2 and play 10/9? I know I would not.

The 3rd hand was interesting to me. 4bet pots and such.

thats very likely the reason why he played that way

Really?

Think about that.

How much $ does he have? How much $ does he get paid?

So he wanted to sit at 1/2 and play like the nittiest nit who plays 24 tables because people would expect him to play looser so he may be able to make an extra couple hundred dollars.


I don't know why he did it. But it can't be for that reason.

He's practising 4 tabling. He's just getting used to it, which led to him playing tight.

a couple hundred dollars could be quite significant in winning or losing a session 200NL ;-)

True. I do not understand your point though.

well maybe because of some scrutiny, (this challenge thing/this thread/ people doubting he could win online etc. ) he picked a strat that you say could win him an extra couple hundred bucks.

He might actually be testing if his image is going to get him paid and it works like a charm. It's like your standard live game where you can play like a total nit for months and people still call. In the actual bet he might be doing this as well but alternating between total nit and spewtard, expecting regs to lose track. It isn't going to work since your average 25/50 reg is "slightly" better at metagame but it'll for sure give him a chance.

This does not even make sense.; EDIT: Unless, maybe you believe the goal is to win

I dont know what it takes to beat midstakes online. maybe Dan doesnt know either

but yeah maybe he played a controlled nitty session, a style hes comfortable with 4 tabling and thought it increased his chances of winning the session.

I think Daniel knows he cant beat hs playing like that, not sure if he knows he cant beat 200nl playing like that but I'm almost sure he does. He hasnt played online in a long time but he is a very smart guy and has friends who crush online so I have no reason to assume he is that off in his speculations. I think it's far more likely that he was getting used to a hud/playing 4 tables or whatever.
