Guess where the rake they pay is going to? It has something to do with 6 figures.

It's hard to justify being player of the year without having 1 bracelet,every player that has won in the last 12 years has had at least one no matter what system you use. He has had a very good wsop otherwise and because of the access he is granted his vlogs,at least the poker parts are very enjoyable.

I dont think anyone disagrees that theres a problem with the POY point system. I also dont think many care all that much about it. The extent to which Negreanu has gone on about this is nauseating. Hes gone as far as saying he will retire if the system isnt changed, and that he would rather put a shotgun in his mouth rather than have to play $1500-3k tourneys to achieve POY.

Dude is a drama queen.

A bunch of losers ITT IMO... you don't like DN but take the time to religiously watch his youtube channel and then take more time to come here to nitpick everything he says.

I quite enjoyed his first few vlogs. People "nitpicking" everything he says is the price one pays when you market yourself and put yourself out there the way Daniel does.

Hes got his die hard fans that regardless of what he says and does, he can do no wrong. Thats a fine outlook to have, as most of what Daniel says and does seems quite positive. I find it strange the attacks these fans make when other people question his actions or motives.

But hey, just a bunch of losers ITT.

Daniel's just a guy that has found himself in some good spots in life and has done very well in making the best of it. That bugs people that haven't been as fortunate.

Sure, he's torched some credibility by being mildly delusional in his defenses of Pokerstars, but we all have our blind spots.

I find him a bit too annoying these days, but that's more my problem than his. He's a good guy by any measure and in the context of poker he's an extremely good guy. I'd probably cross the street to avoid having a conversation with him, but I'm glad he's out there.

Eh, that's a weird kind of response.

Okay, maybe he has side bets or has lost money gambling his winning on sports bets or in cash games or who knows what. However, his profit and loss in multiple WSOP games is pretty healthy as far as I can see, and that in and of itself is impressive.

Well, it was a joke. I was just saying that in this instance, that awful joke (but how much...) actually fit.

id have to think seeing Ferguson go deep in all of these events, along with the 15 cashes, has to eat at him a bit considering how much venom hes publicly spewed towards the Full Tilters

He spent his entire life calling out other poker players for any perceived lapse in integrity. When it was his turn to risk something of value to prove his own integrity he sold out to keep his reported $3M/year pokerstars endorsement. People don't hate on him for being successful; they hate on him for being a raging hypocrite.

Hi pocket_zeros:

There are many reasons why some of us think negatively towards Negreanu. Here's an example:

By the way, while charity was legit the fundraiser scammed much of the money raised. But Negreanu never apologized.

Best wishes,
Mason

Hi Mason,
I just finished reading the thread you quoted here and came across the following message to you by the owner of PokerVegasRadio.com, John Sep:

Quote:
[...]
I am writing you for a few reasons, one of our listeners wanted to make a thread about it here, but I asked that he didn't without me reaching out to you first and seeing if it was acceptable for someone not involved with the show or site to make a thread about it.

Also, I wanted to see if you, David or the guys from the Pokercast had any interest in being a guest on the show.

Thanks for taking the time to read all of this and I look forward to hearing back from you.


John

I'm sorry but it's 2+2 policy not to support any charities.

Mason

Quote:
I'm not asking you to support it, I am asking if it is okay for someone to make a thread discussing it. I am not going to make a thread about it, no one who has anything to do with the show will make a thread, it is topical and relevant poker news, I just wanted to extend the courtesy of reaching out to you before one of my users just popped up a thread, thats all.

John

Quote:
No. It's our policy not to support charities. I think this should be clear.

Quote:
I honestly don't care what 2p2 does and what their policy is, I am fine with them saying no. What is not okay is the way they treat and talk to people, especially those attempting to do something good for someone else...

That's the part that is mind boggling to me.
I agree that I don't get why you respond that unfriendly to someone that's after a social cause i.e. saving innocent children's lives. Would have pissed anyone off, too.

Kind regards

As the thread on Daniel Negreanu's forum goes on I couldn't believe my eyes that Dnegs really wrote this. It is still there for everyone to read. It is ironical really, given that Daniel says "Even if you want to stick to your guns and not let him post it, could you not have come up with something a little more kind?"
lol!?

Still, I don't get why you reacted to the charitiy owner's request that brashly Mason. Thanks.
Kind regards

What an absolute dick! Mason you are a piece of ****. A serious piece of garbage. I mean seriously!!! This guy comes to you FIRST with all the details, making sure he doesn't break any of your Nazi rules and you come at him with that ****ing response? You are such a scumbag. You make it seem like the guy was begging you for money or asking if it's ok to post tranny porn in NVG. You really think your response was appropriate?

Even if you want to stick to your guns and not let him post it, could you not have come up with something a little more kind? Maybe like, "Sorry, it's against our policy to allow that, but I wish you the best with your podcast."

You are so insanely rude Mason. Have you no heart whatsoever? Guy here is trying to do a GOOD thing and you treat him like he's being a nuisance. You just suck Mason.

My response was proper. By the way. What did Sep write after much of the money collected disappeared, and did he thank me for my $2,500.00 donation to the foundation after it became apparent that the money disappered. Same goes for Negreanu.

OK, thanks dear Mason for clarifying! I didn't know that.

Cheers!

PS: Daniel made himself look extremely hypocritical and ridiculous by calling you all these names and just stating as an explanation "I'm just me.. blabla... not a politician." However, he loves to take pictures with politicians (POTUS) and show them off.

The Election and his associated loss of influence and money broke him. Sad.

There's more GIF potential from the blog.

Daniel kicks a soccer ball into his girlfriend's face at 19:56 (fortunately, she wasn't seriously injured):


https://youtu.be/ZD14SAu75j0?t=19m56s



To give Daniel some credit, he had a nice assist at 20:40.
