So, imo two actually two logical reasons imo to hate on Dnegs imo

1) SNE Theft
2) saying more is better with a straight face

FTR I found him pretty annoying and pompous, but that's true for a good number of pros and they don't have such a larger hater fan club.
Hi Lou:

I wonder if DN ever reads this thread anymore. On the one hand, he's gone out of his way to make it clear that 2+2 and anyone or anything related is so far below him, it's like it's something on the bottom of his shoe. On the other hand, he's so ego-driven that the idea of people talking about him and he can actually listen in must be almost irresistible.

Anyway, Hi Daniel if you're listening. You were nice when I met you at the BC Poker championships, which you won. You weren't an egomaniac celebrity fool then, 10 years ago. Lot's of people here seem to think you're an egomaniac celebrity fool now, but somehow I think if I met you again today you'd still be friendly and engaging.

We have that capacity and we’ve politely asked Negreanu and fullcontactpoker.com to remove these incredible insults, and we never got a response which is especially bad since this podcast that we didn’t allow any promotion of on 2+2 turned out to be a scam.

Compared with the US adult population, it means that these billionaires are 68% more likely to have a bachelor's degree than the general population. And billionaires are more than three times as likely to have a postgraduate degree.

The billionaires are also 61% less likely not to have a degree than the typical US adult.

Did you read the whole thread? because at the end it’s pointed out to Negreanu that the podcast for charity turned out to be a scam, but he ignored that part.

Suzanna,

That would be an interesting point if had something to do with what were debating. ITT we were discussing the correlation between higher education and intelligence not higher education and life success (whatever that means)

Who doesn't?

But to say no one benefits for the things he does is flat out wrong. Does he do it to promote his own brand? Yes. What's wrong with that? This year he gave away like 10k on his site for some WSOP fantasy draft. Last year he put 3 people in the main. I think he did it a few years ago too. He had two poker proteges. They were ALL done to promote his brand. But I'll bet the people who were apart of those things see DN in a positive light.

He's doing the podcast to promote his brand. He does the vlogs to promote his brand. He twitch streams to promote his brand. He's on ESPN to promote his brand. He's traveling to Barcelona to promote his brand. He wrote articles for cardplayer to promote his brand. He gives interviews to promote his brand. He takes pictures with fans to promote his brand. He plays high rollers to promote his brand.

He's also selfish and probably insecure about his body and his hair. But again aren't most people. I just watched a vid by JoeyIngram where he was pointing out all the negativity. He's right. Try to go a week without ripping someone. Seriously, try it you'll be a lot happier.
Nicely said, now prepared to be ignored and flamed, lol

some folks ain't happy unless they're bitching about something

Normally the philosophical argument of whether posting such a Tweet means you're "supportive of an effective ad campaign" or "are a p-o-s who supports slave labor wages in third world countries" would be too much for even veteran fans to sludge through.

Shout-out to Uncle "Poker Integrity" for his insights throughout the years that have made legitimate questions out of this and other issues while placing community interests behind how Daniel believes everyone should live their lives.

Ha Daniel Negranu the shill for poker stars who says more rake is good for games and just cares about money is applauding Kaepernick. Whatever side of the argument you are pretty hilarious coming from pokers biggest sell out.

Hi Fly and everyone else:

It's my opinion that this ad should backfire on Nike, and now on Negeanu as well. Also, Nike has a few other issues which either Negreanu has no knowledge of or doesn't care about. Here are a few examples:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/05/b...rker-nike.html

Best wishes,
Mason

Hi vini:

There’s no way I can take down Negreanu even if that was my desire, which it’s not. However, I do believe that Negreanu has the ability to take himself down mostly by not thinking through or having the understanding that much of what he does is, in my opinion, detrimental to what he wants to accomplish. So, i’m just a spectator here.

Best wishes,
Mason

If people want to seriously discuss Kaepernick and/or Nike, there are several other forums at 2+2 that will welcome such discussion. NVG is not such a forum.

We're discussing DNegs who throws himself into the middle of said topic, this is a DNegs thread.
