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

I won't comment on his personal life.

I guess those super high rollers are small field and if he made the final table or won one, it would be fantastic for GG's marketing.

have not been watching so don't know the context, but last time amanda was hanging out all the time with a gay guy while daniel was away at night and all the speculation was that he was daniel's lover and just pretending to be amanda's friend so he had a reason to be at the house late at night when dnegs got home

i like to rag on dnegs just as much as anyone, but c'mon guys

also, lol at thinking if they were in an open marriage that they should be broadcasting that to the world

I don't recall that speculation at all in this thread until you just mentioned it. I remember a few years ago Eddy Sabat staying at his house for the entire series and the speculation being the same as it is now in that this dude was just hanging with Amanda all day, every day. Unless that's the dude your referring to, but again your the only person I've seen speculating on that.

When I did watch the vlogs I skipped over a lot of the at-home stuff but its literally half the vlog and what Daniel is choosing to broadcast to the world. Daniel is amazing at getting people to talk about Daniel, and even chooses to address the speculation people have in all subsequent vlogs, keeping the fire going.

He said on one of the Vlogs at the start of the series that Amanda's friend was coming to stay with them for a couple weeks.

Then he did a tour of the guest bedroom and it looks like 5 star penthouse suite.

i wasn't the one speculating - these are just some of the greatest hits, there was rampant speculation on it

I think my post is mostly a reaction to that arrogance. As I said, if he was humble and not deluded I'd have sympathy for him.

A tiny bit of 'out of all poker players, this guy doesn't really deserve the fortunes poker has given him', sure.

I have also given him credit for his vlogs and said that I mostly enjoy them before. It's going off a cliff lately though.

It’s actually a terrible rule that you can angle pretty easily. People usually take longer with hands they’re inclined to call with and shorter with hands they’re going to fold in big spots in tournaments. The hand with baumann deep in the wsop where they made a similar ruling was atrocious.

There’s a lot of bad rules in poker. The worst imo is that out of turn action stands if action before him is unchanged. It’s good heads up but multiway it screws the other players as they lose their position. Basically a bystander gets screwed for another players mistake as they go from last to act to first to call.

Fair play, Rick. Lol at Tigers posts if serious (or not). Had zero recollection of all of that.

Daniel has always set off my gaydar now that i think about it...

nothing wrong with him being gay in my book (or anyone for that matter. to each their own)

However, this is getting tad bit too personal in my opinion.

Scenario:

BU has an obvious jamming situation. Player in earlier position silently slides out a limp, puts his cards in a place where his stack obscures (not hides) them somewhat from BU's view and acts as if he's done with the hand. BU jams. Blinds fold.

Daniel Negreanu seriously believes that if BU mucks in this situation, their entire stack should be forfeited to the limper.

Lol.

The rules are made to be the least exploitable. It's pretty obvious that the ruling is way less abusable and less open to angling than DNegs' proposed rule.

Daniel 1st in chips with 36 remaining. $10k Razz.

And an update to this update, DNegs now T2/20 with 550K, tied with George Alexander and trailing only BSH (775K). Seiver (9th with 350K) and Ivey (15th at 187K) also in the field among many other notables. I assume the Jerry Wong in 18th is the defending champ.

The $10K razz is not on PokerGo's schedule, but we have already seen them add second streams when the situation warrants.

I'm sure I sound like one of the haters but I'm really not. It would be pretty cool to see Ivey and DNegs at a FT, long shot as that may be. Hell, for everyone who correctly says Ivey is actually pretty boring to watch, Daniel is one of the few people who can get him somewhat chatty.

I'd say there's > 80% chance they stream it if either DNegs or Ivey makes the FT. > 95% if they both FT.

What married man is ok with his wife inviting another married man to spend several weeks with her at their house while her husband is gone most of the days and some nights? HmmmÂ…rumors in the past were that the relationship was an open one with third persons or other couples invited to join in. But you never hear Daniel talk about it publicly other than weird posts he used to make about his genitalia. Many years before he got married, there was a story about Daniel and a female poker player taking home a female stripper for a three way. Lots of people heard about it.

are you posting from the picket line of an abortion clinic?

If he missed both the money in front of early position limper and the early limpers cards I don’t know what to say. I’ve mucked winners before. I’ve folded the nuts I didn’t realize was the nuts at the time. It’s a game you either act accordingly or take responsibility. If the early position player hides chips or cards or does something inappropriately that’s another story but assuming they did everything appropriately you can’t give a player an option to surrender their hand for less that’s not poker.

DN lost 3 hands in a short time in the 10K razz to 6s or wheels and is now short stacked with 12 left. Ivey and Racener also short stacked.

Rooting for him to win the bracelet to annoy all the people talking bad about him here.

Pretty sure almost everyone in here wants him to win a bracelet ...even the negative posters

Why wouldn't he make a blocking bet with those hands? They're not that different than when he blocking bet Ks9o on Kc6h6s5sAs except his sizing on this river is a little bigger.

I agree with the general consensus that GTO thinking is killing his game. Basically it has destroyed the normal poker thinking process for him. A decade ago I would imagine he would figure out just using normal old-school poker thinking that if he gets called by AhQh on Kc8s4c6s8d then he bet the wrong size with AcJc. Either that or he shouldn't bet with it at all. Isn't that just common poker sense that if you are bluffing and someone calls you with the hand that is exactly one rank higher than yours then you should have done something different/should do something different next time? He says he can't bet bigger because he won't have enough value bets...but he does have value bets that want to bet bigger like good kings and 8x which he even mentioned, so why can't he size up with the AcJc too? Does that mean he doesn't train for having multiple bet sizes?

And from a higher-level perspective, why does he have to be balanced at all? Why can't he bet bigger with the AcJc and not have balancing value bets? Just exploit your opponent and bet smaller with good hands to get called by AhQh and larger with bluffs to push them out. Again, common poker sense 10 years ago. Does he really think everyone has a magic crystal ball that they know his exact total strategy at all times? Does he really think they're all playing GTO? I just don't get it. I mean specifically if they are playing GTO then you kind of have free rain to try lots of different weird things and exploits because they specifically don't go out of their way to punish that stuff.

I bet he would do better if he first identified what he thought the GTO strategy was, and then did something other than that, and I'm not joking. I think that way he will at least tend to surprise his opponents, whereas playing his version of GTO he seems to too often have the "obvious" type of hand he would tend to have in that situation.

such an odd thing to point out.

Daniel made the final 12 of the $10K razz event that finishes today. Ivey is still in the mix, too.

youre missing content of the other posts

strange that you have to say you are not homophobic. do you think that we think you are homophobic?
