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't eat it....
o well atleast the girl grinded him on the rails of a club, almost got kicked out for grinding? Kappa
He wins the PPC and is 2nd on the PGT leaderboard this year. He obviously isn't a total fish dead money. He may be down because of all the $100K+ buyin events he didn't cash in.
He brings traffic to GG. That is what he is paid for. These days no one is going to pay much as a sponsored pro just for being a really top player. I know most of the people here play as well as him and don't have a big contract.

Yes bringing in the marks to be fleeced is currently a rarer skill than the ability to fleece them.

Yeah, well if you are really good at it like Negreanu. I am sure no one make half what he makes in endorsements and it is pretty much impossible to make anywhere near that playing. So I can see why people are jealous.
His videos on his deep runs are decent. However, those vlogs are insufferable. Sometimes just show hands allin or whatever, and him walking around or whatever. Probably geared towards the fish they want to lure in.

This makes even less sense to me. He is bringing in the sheep and filling the low dollar tables with bad players with easy money for the low dollar regs to win. He is not just bringing in the sheep to fleece at his own big game table.

There are some valuable fish with money who play mid or high stakes. GG doesn't care about helping regs. GG wants fish brought in to pay rake. The fish also bring the regulars, which builds the games.
I don't see what his own big game table has to do with it. It is obvious he is making most of his money from GG rather than playing. He doesn't even seem to play that much these days.

He doesn't have to win money off of the people he's bringing in. He just has to bring in lots of them to justify his endorsement money.

Yeah, he must bring in a lot of fish for GG to justify the millions they pay him. It isn't like the old days with all that Full Tilt deposit money to pay for sponsorships.
As far as I can see, he hasn't played much in 20 years. Maybe he gets invites to private games like Hellmuth. That is possible, as he is a celebrity and has good interpersonal skills. He plays lots of WSOP events, but not that much else. I don't think he plays much public cash games. Maybe he plays a lot of online tournaments. He probably hasn't needed to with all the $s from sponsorships.

There is no reason he should every play public cash games again. If he wants to play cash he has access to way better games than any of us could ever get into.

Yeah, like Hellmuth, he just plays a few tournaments a year, mostly high profile like the WSOP. It is quite possible that Negreanu plays a lot of private cash games also. He has the personality for it, and is a little of a hustler anyway.

Hes only still around bc he was excellent at business and getting sponsored
He has some good achievements just this year. He may be down for the year from playing $100K+ tournaments, sometimes for 2 bullets. That could be due to variance or that he is -EV at those stakes.
He is obviously still a strong tournament player. He might have better results without the sponsorship, so he would be more careful with buyin money and get experience playing more.
It is obvious his main job is being a celebrity. He makes most of his money from GG and likely from private games and appearance fees.
It is mostly from his personality. Most poker players are experts and showing no emotion and reaction to anything, but that doesn't make for entertaining videos, etc.
This thread is everything that is wrong with 2+2 and why this place is a ghost town now. Rude regular posters and overstrict mods ruined this place. Posters telling me 10101 vs Kj is a flip when the other guy folded KQ and the KQ had a single heart in it that takes away a lot of his outs. I been saying this for years poker players aren't good people and this thread proves that.
Yes confirmed. People like daniel selling the dream to young people are absolutely not good people, selfish charlatans is about all
We don't know what action he sells privately. Even with his income and assets, he may sell action in those super high rollers and it is possible he sells it at a discount, taking a loss to build his marketing and skills. Who wants to lose a million of his own money in a week.
