I think Daniel is just kind of a weird dude. I can't pinpoint it exactly but he just always comes off as strange. Probably why he sucks with girls. Sure he's a nice guy and all but just overall he's very eccentric.

From like 2005 to 2008/9 he was by far my favorite player. Then I learned the game and how people act and found him so fake and insincere. And I also thought he was intelligent, but the way he plays chess proves that is not the case. A 5 year old who has played for 6 months would beat him at chess.

Daniel, if you are reading this. I will teach my 4.5 year old daughter chess starting on her 5th birthday and assuming you don't take lessons or actively try to improve, she will beat you come next July.

Someone said his mom doted on him and basically mothered him well into his adulthood, which would explain a lot of it.

Humans have an innate, subconscious ability to sense when someone is not comfortable in their own skin, because such people give off a conflicting set of verbal and non-verbal clues about the inner fight with themselves. I believe Negreanu is one of those people. You can also tell by how he grasp's for anything that he believes might finally give him inner peace - first it was Christianity, then it was the exact opposite with Choice Center.

100% on the money. He needs to re-evaluate his Poker life, IMO. Antone with a reading ability can clearly see he tries WAY TOO HARD. Relax a little and you will find balance Daniel.

Guys have I mentioned how I'm really just such a good person today and all my problems are, well I wouldn't say they're anyone else's fault because I'm too much of a super nice guy to blame anyone else, but yeah. Also I'm vegan.

No, but it puts the individual as the central figure in one's life, whereas Christianity puts God in that role, with the individual submitting.

Sounds about right,

He puts god first,
Then he puts the individual Daniel first

Now he believes that individual is God.... of the poker realm anyway..

Every time he says i feel great i feel very comfortable playing plo 6 max , i won Scoop. Dude, you luckboxed scoop, fine. How many hours of plo cash have you played, have you really worked on your plo game, have you been in those spots thousands of times to be able to make a decision that even if not right will at least be a decision based on something to fall back on other then just blockers, zoom 10 dolaars regs have more knowledge and experience then you do You are a fish, passive and in the mist in every hand, or overly aggressive as he has to try to prove something always. He thinks that evey time he folds , its the other player punking him hard, and every time he bluffs, he just proved to everyone that he can play. See how happy he is when he bluffs someone, dude is so happy like he just won that tourney. Its an ego thing, he can not chill.

I hope 2018 is the last year of his luckbox run, even with PokerTramps. His colors were truly shown this year and he should NOT be an ambassador for anything, IMO. Pack him up and ship him back to Canada for all I care.

Years from now, once poker historians look back and try to study the Fall of Daniel Negreanu, they will conclude that WSOP 2018 marked the beginning of the fall. Kinda like the emperorship of Commodus was regarded as the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire.

The $3,000,000 win that came the month before the disastrous $330,000 loss during the WSOP 2018 was Daniel's last hurrah. Let's face it, Daniel Negreanu is past his prime. The internet GTO experts have all surpassed him and have made obsolete his old school exploitive style of play. He should quit now instead of allowing himself to continue to deteriorate.

I wouldn't be so sure, he plays a very different game now to what he did in the early days of WPT etc. when he first came to forelight. The fact he's making videos now making fun of the crap he used to say on his old poker training site suggests to me he's not afraid to leave his ego at the door when it comes to poker, and always look for ways to continuously improve, reinvent himself. I watched him getting back into online poker big time a few years back and all his good live results came after that, so he definitely knows how to get it back. Unlike Hellmuth who still expects everyone to play poker like its 1989 and respect his 3 bets "The 4th bet is always aces" will be his poker epitaph.

That's one of the reasons he's so successful. His parents gave him unconditional love and actually believed in him.

i wonder how sincere the personal moments are in the vlog. because he has a compulsion to impress, and say strong things, how much if his persona tries to do that in a specific way? he used this as a tool to become the main poker guy, which requires him to continue being specifically likeable...

From his latest VLOG, says to a Mexican girl:

https://youtu.be/eHeWGY5VV5E?t=8m2s

Dnegs: "Where you from"

Girl: "TiJUana"

Dnegs: "TiJUANAAA, TiJUANaaaaaa...That's so cool!"

Says the man who wants intellectually stimulating dinner conversation LOL.

I actually thought he restrained himself quite a bit in this one mainly by listening music instead of disturbing everyone at the table as usual with his "joking", i found it quite refreshing, he may be on to somrthing here.

The hate has gone way over the top in the last few posts IMO.

He still has an edge in most line ups, has far greater experience and in game mental control and discipline than most of his opponents, plus the bankroll to get into any game he wants to and to rebuy if needed, both of which are big advantages.

But his edge has no doubt shrunk over time and my feeling is that he is trying to mistakenly compensate for this by believing that mixing 12 healthy foods in a blender and using a load of not scientifically proven self help stuff is going to elevate his game.

The fact that he simply cannot stop referring to himself as "we" in my opinion shows that he has lost the plot a bit.

Still a great player compared to most and still achieved a lot of success in life, both of which should not be ignored or ever forgotten.

Bust out hand in the $3K PLO was particularly cruel. ~3 to 1 favourite AIP with the added benefit of some dead money in the pot.
