Daniel Negreanu's very own containment thread. All things Danny go here - Page 28 - Poker News

I have to believe a big part of his frustration steams from how much money he might lose from all his POY and Bracelet bets that he made.

You make a good point. Interesting to see if this is the case that he has bets going on the POY and this is why he continues to rant about the point system. Regarding any POY bets, would it not have been prudent to review the point system changes and played tournaments accordingly instead of him constantly ranting about the POY points system changes?

I watched all his Vlogs
it's pretty addictive
Say what you will about his mindset stuff and nutrition but he grinds and vlogs every day, that's pretty damn impressive if you ask me
And he doesn't look like **** like Shaun Deeb or Jason Mercier doing it.

Btw this year there will be a tally in his Vlogs how much he spends on Buy-Ins during WSOP. Anyone care to see how he did previous years Pre-swaps, deals and sponsorships?

I always kinda assumed these live pro sponsored guys don't crush as much as many people think, and that average WSOP will be losing for them, was actually really surprised he decided to show the actual bottom line this year

It's true but I try not to be cynical about every single thing.

I'm half serious. It wouldn't surprise me a bit, but if that was the reason I think he would one up Doug and give 4 seats.

If it really is him coming up with the cash and not Stars, it is indeed pretty generous.

If he hadn't those figures, he would be impressively up $570K on buy ins of $160K.

Is it still impressive to you if you were to know that his employee(s) record some of the videos and edit and produce the videos?

This is the one time I think "but how much did he lose" is apropos as he probably actually lost money.

what do you mean? Do you think he's misrepresenting his profit so far in his vlogs or are you saying he made side bets that are making him a net loser?

He's said he has side bets against several other fantasy teams, but his team is currently winning against all but one of them.

He had bracelet bets, he's since bought out of them. So I guess *now* he has no bracelet bets.

He's also stated that most of his fantasy sidebet action was against Team Leah, which is the only team currently beating his.

I'm a relatively stoic guy... but how TF is Negreanu able to bust that 50k in 5th and then immediately stop to shake hands and take selfies with every Dick and Jane that asks? and smile while doing it?

I'm sure this was a minor disappointment in comparison.

I'd be content to make $348K for a month's work, it's like making around $10K a day, or $4m a year if maintained.

But one has to remember to deduct the expenses... like that essential bloody crack juice!

I'm willing to bet 99.9% of Dnegs haters are mainly just pissed that they cant beat 2NL yet hes raking in more than 6 figures a year.
