Daniel Negreanu on the FAN590 yesterday

Daniel was on the FAN590 yesterday and one of the callers asked him if Ferguson and Lederer entered the room now what would he say to them, Daniel says "I wouldn't say anything, i would just spit on them." I guess they won't be going out for dinner together anytime soon lol.

  • You haven't seen any of Daniel's Vblogs have you?

    He is not a fan of them at all.

    @RealKidPoker @ShibbyJames21 @chrisrose not sure I'd want to ride Lederer shoulders sine he is destined for the county lock up!
  • You can like Daniel...just don't LIKE Daniel:

    Seriously, though...the guy is a joke himself. These pros that happened to rungood at the right time years ago and haven't made any money playing poker since are just attention whoring it up to stay in the spotlight so they can keep their image alive and get sponsorship monies.
  • lol at pic.

    Daniel has been pretty bad for the past few years hasn't he? Though has started out decent this year.

    Prolly not, that just isn't me. It's just to the point of being such a transparent charade to anyone in the know that it is laughable.
  • He's a good pitch man. Cardplayer shows he's made almost 1.5 million this year though, no wait it's over 1.5 US because of Euros.

    I hope you are kidding. Daniel has already won around 2 million this year from tournaments alone.
  • I like Daniel... obviously I do not know the man but he seems like he'd be a guy you could just hang out and have a beer with.

    There are alot more people who come across as jerks out of the "Celebrity players" to me... like Jean Robert, hate that guy.

    This. I flip flop on whether or not I am a fan, but the man is averaging a million plus a year on the felts. There are only like 50 Canadians total that have even won a million live over their careers. He is second world wide and when you remove >50k buyins and invitationals, first.

    He has game and seems to shine more against tough players.

    Whiny little bitch at times, but he seems over that and now accepting the new school for the skills they have.

    I actually like his weekly rants. Becoming a fan again.

    So he's the Ric Flair of poker.
  • I like DN . . . Met him at the stars tables at the last Grey Cup in T.O. I was shit-faced, loud, and not even thinking about poker during the BS SnGs they were running. Basically just playing blind, and coffee housing like a mother-humper . . . DN stops by our table (poor bastard) the glad hand routine, and notices I raised w/o looking at my cards. He said something that I didn't hear, and a guy at the other end of the table says, "he's doing it every hand". DN says something like, "come over the top with anything decent (cannot remember if he mentioned a minimum hand)". He stuck around while somebody at the far end shoved . . . I called blind with 10/7 and hit my straight on the turn. DN starts laughing, shaking his head and said something about the poker Gods loving aggression and fools. Pretty sure I was the latter, but he still cam by and shook my hand after I won the table. Drunk as I was he was gracious to a fault.

    Next rant he'll have to do is the state of the Full Contact Poker server(s)? Not sure if it was a coincidence but...they tried to workaround the weekly rant issue with Zodiak Rights blocking the video on youtube. They put the rant on the full contact site last night and now it's down.
  • Like him or hate him, he's clearly still making huge money playing poker and got in at the right time so is set for life just being a poker personality.
    These days, you have to respect someone who is willing to publically throw a strong opinion out there. The world has become a 'wishy washy politically correct everyone is too much of a pussy to have an opinion' sort of place in the past few years. It's really getting sad. Nobody is allowed to publically dislike someone, nobody is allowed to make fun of anyone, nobody is allowed to 'not love' other races (other than black people......err African Americans....errr dark skinned Canadians....err...for them it's still ok). Yep, the world is doomed to be a very very beige place where nobody is allowed to say anything that doesn't blend with the 'norm' stipulated by the politically correct police :(
    Sadly the politically correct police usually have it backwards....
  • Milo, that is a hilarious story. How come we're just hearing it now?

    I'm a huge DN fan, although I can't spell his last name :D He is one of the best all-around players in the world who cut his teeth at Niagara/Fallsview, then took it to the big time in Vegas.

    I've never found him to be whiny, unlike some of the Show Ponies that always seem to draw TV time. I love that he is so chatty on camera. Pretty sure he's like that 24/7

    cuz it's never seemed relevant? I think I posted about the Grey Cup party before . . . got the tix through work, and it was a blast. totally hammered by the end of the night. Hoping to scam some tickets again THIS year, too.

    also, I thought he got his start in the charity casinos that used to dot the GTA many moons ago.
  • Daniel is heads up in a 5 card draw Scoop event
  • Daniel has made his 27 WSOP final table tonight in the 5th event and is in day 2 of the 6th event

    Actually, if you read his writings on his early days, it was more the underground games around TO. He was definitely gone to Vegas by the time Niagara/Fallsview got poker.

    Al
  • Yup he played at the underground and some of the charity places and weekends he flew to vegas.

    I have played at some of the underground clubs he used to frequent...I can see why he crushed them, the games haven't improved lol

    I guess he will multi-table.
  • I remember reading the first time he tried out he ended up getting crushed and had to move back in with his parents (Did he switch to NL?) I'd love to read more about that.
  • Gavin still in event 6 toooo
