Daniel Negreanu's very own containment thread. All things Danny go here
how bad must he be when a girl falls asleep while making out and snores right after?
life fish..... food arrived but didn
Okay this explains alot then.You are dellusional. ****. awesome basically the world is ****ed. Daniel couldn't compete with the top 100 in the world in any game.I promise you that. He is not even close to being smart enough.Were so ****ed that your perception of him is this bad.Why the **** you think he avoids challenges like beating 1-2 online.You have any idea how easy tha
Daniel does compete among the top 100 mixed game players in the world every year in the $50k Poker Players Championship. He won it last year and has cashed it 4 of the last 10 years. And I can’t fathom how you could watch his play in the $10k O8 tournament this year and not think he’s one of the top 100 LO8 players in the world.
He’s almost certainly not one of the top 100 online NLHE players in the world. But even if he was, why would he play online 1/2 NL?
They currently do a podcast on YT where they talk and speculate about other people...
But we cant speak about her? lol
They openly tried diagnosing Tom Dwan on one of the podcasts so they seem very comfortable talking about others and having themselves being talked about would be my guess.
Back before computers and videos taught people how to play he challenged anyone in world to a live heads-up freezeout (100K -1M I think) at the game of their choice.
Lmao at 1/2 nlhe online, no one cares about that
I love how disinterested/over-it randos are we he puts them on camera
even when DN was having a horrible wsop streak for 2-3 years a few years ago I still had him as a legitimate S tier pro all things considered .
its clear he enjoys poker still and actually in the last 6 years buckled down and re learned A LOT of things, more than he would have you believe, I do believe he is good at PLO, maybe not the best like he says but I def think he spent a **** ton of time off the table in study time honing in his PLO.
He legitamtely used to be the best 2-7 and limit holdem player but those days are gone, but hes still an absolte S tier player and I agree with nick saying hes a top 100 poker player in the word when it comes down to it, cash and tourney.
it was funny how he did use to struggle at nosebleed stakes back in 2007-09 and a lot of top posters like ike etc would chime in saying he was really butchering hands and he didnt agree with other nosebleed stakes posters.
but he has learned and adapted, i don't think hes the absolute best at any game, he doesn't focus on one , if he did I wuold be wrong. but I don't think hes as bad as people said a few yeas ago and continue to say
I was in Bucharest last week. Naturally, who shows up on a billboard, lol?
He has never been a top cash pro. Maybe up their in mixed games, but he doesn't play the $2K/4K at Bellagio during the Series. The top cash players have generally been better players than top tournament players, as there is more money in it. It may be somewhat different now, with not many open high stakes cash games, particularly in NLHE.
He just took 2nd in the 10K O8 for $300K+. Last year, he won the $50K 9-game. Then he recently set the record for the most PGT wins with another PLO win. Then people here are saying he has had 3 losing Series in a row, because he didn't cash in the $100K+ buyins, and hasn't been a professional player for 15 years. He has been criticized here for being one of the few to play the $50K 9-game and $50K+ NLHE and PLO tournaments, but that indicates a strong all around tournament player.
He really doesn't play many tournaments, except the WSOP and the PGTs. He doesn't play much public cash. Maybe he doesn't play much and just gets the endorsement money. However, likely with his visibility and personality, he plays private games like Hellmuth does. Profitable to play $100/200 NL or whatever with a bunch of 1/2NL type players. A lot of the private games are PLO, and some of the older rich fish probably play limit/mixed games. Not ideal for developing your game, but get practice playing fish, who are present to a significant degree in tournaments.
Daniel is an enormous lifetime financial winner. As for his poker, it will always be debatable where (and if) he stands among the best. But here he is, hitting 50 years old and still competing for and winning bracelets in big buy-in events. A bracelet last year, a second place in the early going this year. And he's in the top 5 stacks early on in the stud $10K championship. The dude is still relevant at the table.
The guy can still play multiple games very, very well. And he's leveraged his personality at the table and invested his money to fame and fortune that few if any poker players can approach. So yeah, I agree that his personality is sometimes grating, and watching his summer vlog requires a lot of fast forwarding through some cringe. But in stark contrast to how he's talked and thought about in this thread, he's still hugely popular among poker fans in general and still someone competing at the highest level in WSOP tournaments.
Daniel already almost won a bracelet in this wsop so far. It seems to me like a lot of people don't like Daniel.

He has a 2nd place in this WSOP. He won the prestigious $50K 9-game at the end of the last WSOP, due to luck of course, and he was down for the Series with 2 $250K bullets, etc. He also just set the record for the most PGT wins.
Then people post here about how he is a losing player, etc.
Fwiw, and i dont think it matters, but Daniel openly said on someone's podcast one time that he doesn't play cash anymore because he doesn't need to. The tournament records are of his only concern. He doesn't play cash because (his words) "you play cash to make money, I dont need to make money".
That's when I knew his sponsorship or possibly some advice leading to great investments was worth a lot more than people might think.

I was the one who said he hasn't been a pro in 15 years. And he hasn't. Believe me that's not an insult. He's crushing life. Any pro would swap places with him in a second to get paid millions a year to endorse a poker site.
He likes the accolades and marketing that coming with winning a bracelet. He'd happily lose money at every wsop for the rest of his life if he could also win a bracelet every year.
DN is an old school hustler. He hustled pool, he hustled poker and these days the hustle is being a poker ambassador. Wtf is he gonna spend tons of free time studying poker hours each day to keep up with the top players for to grind out small edges for? He's not. He's gonna do whatever he wants 10 months a year and get richer every year.
He does pretty well in these tournaments for an amateur.
The thing that has earned him respect in my eyes is he has worked on his game according to some posts.
Daniel is absolutely one of the top 100 poker players in the world when you factor in his skill at all poker games. There are less than 100 people who even enter most of the $10k WSOP tournaments. The vast majority of professional poker players have no idea how to play 90% of poker variants.
Okay this explains alot then.You are dellusional. ****. awesome basically the world is
Whats the upside for Daniel doing a 1/2 challenge? It's a waste of his time and only has downside. Don't think he's ever claimed to be an online cash game crusher?
He actually did a 100/200 nlhe challenge on Stars 15 years ago. It’s unclear how much he won from limited googling I did.
The man does challenges and he’s always the underdog going in
In before he can’t beat 1/2.
10K Stud
DN doubled twice and now in 11th
Matusow is 4th
Imagine sitting on someone's table and he starts playing a literal trash quality song about himself on spotify that sounds like its AI generated slop and trying to force the table to sing along with him.

It's actually amazing DN found a way to make playing music from a phone with no headphones even more obnoxious.
That damned song won't get out of my head!

"Sounds like?" Or "is?" When I heard that, I figured someone – maybe even Daniel himself – made that song on precisely on Suno or something like that.
A few years ago, I was sitting around during a break in a volleyball tourney. One of our players started looking up hip hop songs that mentioned her dad (former Sacramento Kings player Peja Stojakovic), much to the amusement of her teammates. Fast forward to now, and such novelty is gone, since anyone could put a few prompts into Udio and be done with it.

When he introduced it first the editor clipped in something that looked like a comment from youtube where some guy who I assume is the creator was thanking Daniel for showcasing "his song" on the vlog. Im not going to go back and try to find it because that would mean willingly exposing myself to the garbage tune again.
I guess it could still be Suno and the guy who "made it" just wrote a prompt there. It would surely explain the bottom of the barrel quality. My first thought was that Daniel wouldnt play an AI song, but thinking about it a bit more, I wouldnt be surprised if Daniel is unaware of how easy it is to AI generate a song and might think its a real production. It would stroke his ego just right to think that someone made a song about him where they call him "the man, the myth, the legend".
