Anyone else catch Daniel talking about how he does things the rest of the pros can't comprehend and he loves it when his play gets criticized because that means he knows he's playing above the rim?

It felt like a page right out of Hellmuths book which is funny considering how much Negreanu has criticized Hellmuth over the years for this exact thing.

Yeah, he quite frequently tries to goad other players into making fun of Phil's play, when - in reality, they probably think Daniel's a complete fish too.


WSOP Day 21 -$635,271

WSOP Day 22 -$720,271

Daniel was tearing thru the re-buys on Day 22.
He was trying his best to buy a WSOP Bracelet.

No man alive (or deceased) has bought more WSOP re-buys than Daniel.

daniel isnt good at plo and is an ass but this aint it chief

Thanks Captain, I know that aint it. I just thought it was kinda funny that he got it in 5 ways with 10% equity. In PLO, that ain't easy to do, Sport!


by theporkchop

lets just ignore how often he's up against most of those hands in a 5 way preflop all in lets also ignore the price he was getting

daniel isnt good at plo and is an ass but this aint it chief

It's just funny that he had the audacity in his vlog to criticize all the other guys who got their stacks in like he was the only one who had a hand to get it in there.

Not to mention, many of them may be approaching it like he does. There's up to NINE ***** rebuys in the stupid thing, so they see an opportunity to win a MASSIVE pot to take into Day 2 to propel them deep, and if they don't get there, they just rebuy like crazy just like he did.

He also walked away from a "low-stakes" 2500 or 3K buyin tournament making comments about how bad at the game the guy who busted him was. He complains about levels being too long in the O.E. tournament when longer levels allows SKILL to rise more often than not. He just wants everything to be some hyper-turbo so he can fire more bullets than anyone else and try to buy himself a bracelet, **** what's good for the masses or what anyone else wants in an event, ALL events need to cater to his elitist view.

"Delusional Dan" should be his nickname at this point.

i think in the 5 way he was mainly joking about the hands

100 percent right about the half/half mix berating though

also you are right about the last part though i thinks its more a low T+adhd situation where dude physically cant handle a 4 day tournament anymore except for the main where there is enough going on to keep him engaged

That's some Nick Vertucci **** right there lol

I can almost hear him stating everything being Hyper turbo is better.

Starts at the 33:15 mark

"Oh my Gawd, I was LITERALLY locked up. 400K we did the job. We had 450. We played a pot just now for two million in a great spot. eight nine ten jack five ways against all that sh*t"

He had the worst equity of the bunch while claiming it was a great spot, he was in deep trouble most of the time against the QJTT guy alone, without adding in all the other hands to make it that much harder for him to "hold up".

He has a single suited rundown hand 5 ways. He's just playing bingo hoping to get lucky and acts like it's some can't miss spot. It's rare that his hand isn't dominated here 5 ways.

Lmao you put the down into the syndrome. It's obvious you hate the man but to suggest the game has passed him by in events such as all of the 10K mixed events and PGT/US Poker Open tournaments that are populated by best overall players is silly as his track record in those is very strong. He won the 50K PPC two years ago.He plays the SHR NLHE as a dog against guys who only spec

Yet still managed to lose a million that year even with that bink😄.

It is like you are braindead. In the games he is playing, he is losing money, thus he is a losing player.

If I played a combination of NL5 and NL500 throughout the year, lost 20k total while being up 50 buy-ins at NL5 I would definitely not claim I am winning player but hey, whatever makes you better about the results of your man-crush I guess.


by vrael111

If that’s true it’s due to SHRs such as 500K at Paradise. If Benny Glaser was sponsored and freerolled into the SHRs but it caused him to dip into the red it would not make him a losing player. He is neither losing money nor would be a losing player. Same exact thing with Danny N who has had a very strong record past several years in the non SHRs, the stuff he would be playing if he was not sponsored.

It’s a simple IQ test which you are failing, stay down, Corky!

It's always made me wonder whether being filthy rich just makes people extremely soft because I notice every year in these vlogs Daniel is constantly complaining about something that I can't ever imagine I'd care enough to complain about. Whether it's the chairs not being perfect enough so he constantly has to change out his chair or the temperate not being "even enough.". Or how he purposely leaves treats out for drivers then gets mad when they stop at his house and enjoys the treats.

There is just always something small that he fixates on that.

And again, it's ironic because he has a segment where he makes fun of Allen Kessler for doing the exact same thing.

Daniel Negreanu has been playing BINBO poker for more than two decades.
Can't say I blame him.
A $100 million (possibly $200 million) in lifetime sponsorship money can do that to a guy.
The Sponsors want an entertaining lol type poker show from him, and Daniel gives it to 'em.
I'd probably donk it up too if I had his money.


by ScotchOnDaRocks

Daniel won the 50K PPC (and $1.2 million) two years ago.

by vrael111

If you can lose well over a million dollars at the WSOP while binking an event for $1.2 million, you are obviously playing Bingo poker, just hoping to get lucky in some event.
Daniel had a huge Horseshoe up his arse during that $50K PPC event, like never having seen before.


i don't think daniel is filthy rich

i think he's comfortable, possibly doesn't need to work again if he maintains a comfortable but not too extravagant lifestyle

Daniel is just playing bingo hoping to get lucky.

Speaking of Daniel playing Bingo, I'm pretty sure Daniel is on his fifth buy-in
in Event #47: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha.

[i]That's called trying to buy a WSOP Bracelet.[i]

And Bingo was his name.

Daniel is filthy rich (>$10 million) in my estimation.
Although I think Phil Hellmuth is wealthier.

Tough to do with expensive hair plugs and all that plastic Amanda keeps putting in.

Hey, if he finishes top 3, he’s up for the series.

With 7 or 8 left he made some awful x/r ott in stud8 or o8 and hit a one outer to stay alive and win. Bingo things.

Got it Danny is a winning play wether he wins or loses playing poker and you know what? I agree he is a winning player because he won your heart and thats the most important.

IMO >100mln

And he dgaf if he loses a million this year; the main goal is winning the bracelets.

He doesn't lose any money, his sponsors are covering his buyins, dude is freerolling life

I would bet literally everything i own negreanu has less than 100MM in assets. Also I'd bet he'd rather take 1million cash vs a non main event bracelet.

No way.


Yeh I'd guess his contract has big bonuses for him final tabling and especially winning.
