Well, color me surprised. Here I thought you were a hater and a critic from your constant hating and criticism and because his behavior when streaming caused you reoccurring bouts of PTSD, initially suffered while being a call center customer service agent in a insurance boiler room operation. In fact, you are just posting in here with the hope to provide him career advice and to save him from himself because Howard Treesong refused.

I will also take from your non-response that we will not be seeing your tournament ROI anytime soon?

Actually I was waiting for your tournament ROI, as you are so keen on people establishing their credentials that way.

OK what is the hating and criticism from me then, it gets so boring people like you saying misleading stuff like that, so come on them, what have I said hateful about him? And is he so damned perfect one can't criticise him? There are people who think he is great, isn't it allowed by you for someone to think he isn't currently that good really? As evidenced by his latest results.

Actually if you thought about what I was saying, you would understand that I am sorry for his current bad situation, and hope he gets out of it. You obviously have never been in a role where you are a target for angry bitter people, but it is very draining, not PTSD, just a bad work experience serving the public advising in a benefits office (When you criticise you are not very good at remembering details are you?) that I moved on from.

I am not sure why I bothered replying to you as everything you said was mistaken.

Learning to play tournament poker is something I remember watching on Sky Poker years ago, when Tikay and Richard Orford nearly every show had a different viewer asking that when they get into the money they are nearly always short stacked, and how can they improve that. Watch Negreanu's streams to learn all about this situation.

I think you respond to me because you have very little self control. That lack of self control is the reason you are now dominating this thread in posts even though other DNegs hater have been here for years. The lack of self control in your own life is the reason you are trying to control people’s opinions about a guy you don’t know or have any connection. Try to exercise some self control- no one needs to be constantly exposed to your ill-informed opinions. It's not like he did not say hello to your wife and pissed you off.

Yes, I have little self control, I dominate this thread, I try to control others opinions about a guy I dont know or have any connection. Hmm, actually you are projecting yourself on me, that is exactly what you do. Your amateur psychology is hopeless, my wife sends her regards by the way.


By the way, I know English grammar is not your strong point, but in the English language there is something called a double negative, so in your inarticulate sentence above you are telling me that it is like Negreanu said hello to my wife and pissed me off, but why would I be pissed off if Negreanu said hello to my wife? That is the problem with uneducated people, they don't know how to express themselves articulately. I am sure evening classes on the English language will eventually help your literacy. Good luck!

Could you guys please take your personal beef to private messages or reddit?

Someone said Dnegs played this bust hand from a WSOP $10K terribly. I hate to discuss strategy, but he played it perfectly. He has to shove the flop as his hand is 40% against a 15% range, and he can sometimes get UTG to fold. Sure the push is bad if you know UTG has KK.

Wait what?

Looking at this hand actually make you wonder whether he gets paid to play badly on purpose these days. When the hand is over, two guys on the table actually TELL him that he played the hand like an idiot. I wonder how often this happens in a $10k?

This play has 2005 written all over it lol.

What I love, love, love is how he instantly starts bitching like he actually got unlucky in this hand ... What a tool.

I mean it's literally the patented Greg 'Fossilman' Raymer Stop N Go, he has an article from around 2005 on this forum breaking it down. In theory the play is fine but in context of this being the stone bubble of a 10k on a monochrome flop w/ middle pair no kicker vs UTG bubble opening range I think even Raym-man himself passes up this spot.

It's not a stop and go, and if you think it is a terrible play, you don't know much about MTT play.

It's terrible, there is no donking on this flop vs EP range.

This is the kind of play I've seen donks make when they find themselves in a hand and have no idea what to do. They just do what he did.

Right. Correct strat is to jam everything with over 40% eq and check fold everything else. Seems good.

It is a borderline situation, but the push is not some huge donk play. People claiming it is show they don't know much about short stack tournament play.

In a vaccum maybe its not absolutely terrible.
But just another example he plays his ranges like ****.
Doesnt even think about what his check range looks like. Never RNG's any decision. Its really bad in this day and age.

I mean he probably would be check calling it all off anyway at some point but his shove guarantees he wouldn’t have had to make a tough decision!

He is bound to play somewhat old school and not GTO. Presumably, he has other skills as a top tournament player around 10 years ago that some kid who memorized the latest plays doesn't have.

This live stream is presumably GGs idea, and it creates false expectations that he is going to make amazing plays or whatever.

Watching the dnegs blowups is hilarious. I remember one where his wife was sitting next to him when he got knocked out. She jumped up and ran off when he blew up. LOL!

His blowups remind me of someone that plays online tournaments. This guy gets pissed everytime he takes a tough beat. Calls the villain all kinds of vile names. When he see's someone else take a tough beat he laughs and demonically says "Take that! You prick!" When he gets knocked out of the tournaments he jumps up cussing, swears it's the 17th time in a row he's been 4 outed.

There are no witnesses to this mans outrage at losing because he is always alone when playing the online tournaments. The only reason I know about him is I happen to be him. I get pissed when I get beat. So dnegs getting pissed doesn't bother me. As Isiah Thomas said "show me a happy loser and I will show you a loser."

The outrage while he’s playing is funny I wanna see the outrage he had while he’s reading these threads. We need Doug Polks cheater friend to befriend him so we can install spy cam software in his laptop.

You can tell he doesn't grind online regularly. I have played for so long, I can't react too much to every bad beat or whatever, particularly playing many tables.

It’s a completely acceptable reaction minus the kickboxing. Everyone has had that exact response while playing online poker everyone’s just laughing cause it’s dnegs.

Swearing and getting angry at losing and threatening violence and getting banned from twitch for such behaviour isn't acceptable at all, as any sport is a mix of winning and losing, so one should be able to professionally handle defeats. I'd love to know what GG poker think about their star streamer getting banned from streaming for abusive behaviour.

If one is a balanced sensible player, then one knows the bad beats are no big deal, as if on the wrong end of one is that it is fine, because if a player is so bad that they only have 5% and hit that 5%, then that is fine because the other player will win the other 95% of the time, so it is actually good one is playing against someone who plays with such odds against them. So it is so funny to see Hurricane Negreanu not taking the bigger picture into account, of the more frequent times he wins when ahead.

What is also funny is what he considers a bad beat often isn't a bad beat at all, but he was in with a worse hand from the beginning. Mind you, the number of times he has hilariously lost to runner runner shows the trolling poker gods are not members of the Negreanu fan club and enjoy winding him up!

I was not questioning whether dnegs is awful at poker. That’s clearly true. Just saying if you ever had a bad emotion from it it’s ok. No one came out of the gates being great in that area. Let’s get the spy cam idea up and running tho so we can see if he’s like that all the time or just when he’s playing poker

Perhaps you can get backing to play SHRs and see how you do. Or maybe you could play Dnegs HU at 8-game.

Poker is a game for life fish I don’t do that anymore. Let’s set up a support system for dnegs though the next time he plays we don’t need more people threatening strangers and acting tough in front of their computer.
