Daniel Negreanu's very own containment thread. All things Danny go here

Haha 50 years old and he acts like he just discovered gravity or something with his water benefit revelation lol.

75 ounces of water first thing in the morning, lol

I love them. I think he does a good job of mixing in personal story with poker content.

I refuse to believe that people like Matusow and Lindgren are value in the fantasy draft compared to whoever random unknown grinder you can get for the same price.

Matusow is already on the board with a point for a cash. But yea, I got Rampage for $1 in a small pool I am in, they are down to 25 in the 5k and he is still in it.

Anyone who planning on playing all of the mixed games probably has more value than an unknown grinder playing a bunch of nlhes

I might have drafted Kessler lol

Yeah. His was the first poker vlogs I ever watched. Then I sampled some others and was bored to tears. He is definitely the best at this

He's got the Rizz

I don’t think Daniel really gives a **** about maxing EV in his fantasy draft. Picking Lindgren has more to do with loyalty to a friend, and picking Matusow is +EV because he has a reason to film and f*ck with him often, which makes good content for his blogs.

As annoying as I find Dnegs to be, he’s def media savvy.

I love them. I’m one of the ‘hate watchers,’ but I’m still watching.

I should have clarified - random unknown dude playing the same schedule. I agree that random NLHE grinders are bad value in this thing

ok, but, who though? DN knows Lindgren personally and knows what he's going to play. That is significant information. How do you get information on a random unknown and what events they are going to play

I kinda doubt there are any “random unknown dude” playing the majority of 10k mixed game events. With as many teams as they have in the draft, probably every player playing most of those events got drafted.

I wouldn't call myself a "hate watcher" per se, but I do somehow enjoy some of the cringey stuff. In one of the recent episodes, he spoke about how good he is at PLO, and I immediately thought of this thread. Then again, it looks like two of his tourney wins have been at the PGT PLO Series, so that game is certainly on his brain.

Also, all these years later, it still cracks me up when fans interrupt him when he's recording. Then again, I shouldn't be surprised – it's 2025, and we still see people who somehow get jazzed up when they're in the corner of some live shot on TV.

yeah hes sh**t ar PLO

how are all the people in this threads results lets compare

Should I know from past years why the massage lady being an ex felon and in jail for 5 years is a joke, or? Not a joke?

This is a thread that only serves as to mock Daniel and trash talk him. I remember last year in this thread Rmbxr9 was talking about how Daniel misplayed a PLO hand. Daniel justified the play but I believe that Rmbxr9 was correct in that it was a spew by Daniel.

I don't recall anything mentioned before regarding it, so assuming it was an in-the-moment joke.

Daniel leading the 10k Omaha H/L with 42/217 left.

Nobody mention the edit job in I think it was vlog #2 when he was playing chess and made a lol really dumb mistake leaving his bishop and knight exposed to the same pawn. I love how he said dont worry I'll show me come back then the footage was immediately edited to something different and of course we dont see the outcome of the chess match. It's all smoke and mirrors with this guy.

And to finish the story, Daniel continued winning a bunch of money in PLO

Daniel will be even more insufferable if he wins this.

You are a horrible person that is very apparent.

Daniel is pretty clearly staking Matusow this summer, right? After openly referring to him as an idiot for years, he just randomly talks about how he's targeting him as a cheap add in the 25k vlog and then drafts him for $3 and has featured him a couple of random times.

Just wait until you find out how Reality TV is made
