Are you in the camp that believe he could have stopped this from happening?

My grandad couldn't have stopped the holocaust, but it was still wrong of him to support it

he has the social reach that he could have made things so uncomfortable for them that they'd have to think twice about it. i think a renegreanu led boycott could have made national news

No. I'm in the camp that believes he should have walked away from the company after it happened, like many other well-known pros with integrity did.

What he could or could not have done is completely irrelevant. Not being able to prevent scumbags from doing something scummy is not a legitimate justification for being associated with scumbags.

He vowed to do exactly that if PokerStars didn't repay SN/SNE players, but didn't honor his word.

Yeah, I agree with this re: Negreanu's late 2015 pushback and negotiations with David Baazov & co.

On one hand, Daniel being unsuccessful persuading then-Amaya higher ups not to rip off Supernova/SNE players is obviously a bad look (given that he told certain customers that his resignation was in play when it obviously wasn't).

But on the other hand, at least he spoke up about how awful that SN/SNE decision was, and went on Joey's podcast during a time when then-Amaya execs had clearly bailed on communicating anything meaningful to affected players.

It's too bad after all those years of videos/rants that what DNegs preached about "integrity" didn't turn out to apply to the company he works for, or to him (in regards to him not collaborating with those who engage in such practices).

But I think it's clear that the full "responsibility" of the SN/SNE removal should be placed with David Baazov & corresponding Amaya executives/stakeholders at that time who made that decision -- and not with Daniel Negreanu, others in the industry, "entitled" players, or whoever else those then-Amaya execs attempted to pin their s*** stain on via guilt by association.

Just my opinion, though.

Is there common law marriage in Las Vegas? if so, what would trigger it in terms of time living together and other factors? Just curious.

Here you go.

lol this

Happy 44th birthday to 'Kid Poker' today.

So scarfgate diverts my attention from Dnegs and he starts day two of the one drop in third place, played some key hands awful, forced to correctly shove 21BB with T7s after making an ass of himself over one missed hand of poker.

Am I all caught up, or has Dnegs screwed up anything else royally this week?

Thanks, Videopro I am now properly informed of DNegs ability to go down, down, farther down, oh hi there Alec!

ahah nice one. Ty for the lols gg&gl

Props to Daniel for the self-awareness. His bitter feuds with Mason Malmuth, Matt Savage, Mike Matusow, Annie Duke, Joe Rogan, Doug Polk, Greg Raymer, Howard Lederer, Joe Sebok, Jeffrey Pollack, James Woods, Tom Dwan, Jim Norton, Allen Kessler, Bryan Micon, Marissa Rachelle, and many others must be weighing on him.

+1

I wanted to say the same thing but couldn't remember the dozens of names

The Banhammer is now "many others".

Could also smell because you have your nose up your employers ass all day, dnegs style.

how does it feel doing the biitch work for Doug Polk all day long? did you ever imagine 10 years ago during the poker boom that this would be your life right now?

lol what? Video editing can be tedious sometimes, but it's not exactly hard labor. I really can't complain.

Don't lie. You probably cry yourself to sleep every night after getting paid to edit videos in your pajamas, from the comfort of your home.

Daniel must be a pretty big Louis Theroux fan to have a tattoo of him on his arm
