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

Wrong! It does NOT matter if he is vegan or aggressive or whatever. All that matters is that he is a boy. Oh Danny boy, the pipes the pipes are calling.................

It's his jam.

I haven't followed to see where he's winning his big pots from. But if he's just getting stacks in preflop, it takes a ton of the skill from the game as equities are super close, so you're mostly in spots that are 55/45 or 57/43 equity. Not quite coinflips, but pretty close.

Even best-case scenarios preflop are usually 65/35 (I've had some exceptionally rare instances where I was greater than 70% preflop, but they're hard to come by)

So if he's doing well because he's getting it in and winning the flips that matter, that can account for it.

If he's actually going to flops and playing post-flop poker, it attests to more skill in the game.
