There is no ****ing way negreanu is in the top 1% of any card game.

Negreanu has reached peak delusion?

What negreanu is trying to say is that high rake means recs lose a bigger % to amaya and therefore, since 25% loss to rake 75% to players instead of 5-10% to 95-90% means his pay cheque can continue for more years which means more negreanu playing in high stakes poker tournaments which is actually good for poker! If you're at the high end at least.

(unless you are a plo player who is not the top 0.01% since daniel is actually a plo crusher)

Dnegs is basically saying that while higher rake is bad for poker in general, it's good for recreational players because all the pros will be driven away which is nonsense. There is no scenario where recreational players will have higher winrates when the rake is increased outside of some temporary overreaction like the player strike. All players across the spectrum will suffer but regs will be more sensitive to the changes.

Another thing he keeps saying is Pros make more off the recs than Amaya which is untrue. He's completely disregarding the rake the regs generate playing vs the recs and each other.

This was done a few years ago but shows how the average reg makes more for Amaya than they make for themselves. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/15...-zoom-1461881/

Any chance of doing a vid clarifying the rake issue. Last thing we need is a bunch of rec players thinking that higher rake benefits them and Dnegs should absolutely be called out on it.

Totally. After all, he is famous for putting the other player on his exact cards, then calling.

Appreciate this btw, but If i take my video down it loses its views/comments etc. Easier to just keep it up, but this makes it much easier for people to view (particularly on desktop) so thank you.

Thanks, it was a much different vibe. Tried to blend going into topics that came up with keeping a flow of the story.

Yep, definately referencing the feminist junkie. I admire how you kept composure when Dentale talked about how momentum and vibe>strategy and the tourney buy in should change your strategy. Pokerface level 11/10.

You talked about books and embraced the janda's book as on of the best books ever. Curious why Tipton's books didn't get any love? Personally found those books way more useful, though a lot of it may be biased to at what point of my career I read each of the books.
