So right now on PS, Daniel Negreanu (kidpoker) is playing 0.01/0.02 NL (Table Althaea) on Stars with like 400 ppl in line. Observer chat is out of control but rumoring that he has a wager with Phil Ivey to turn $10 into $100,000.

Anyone heard of this?

There is a post by DN on FCP detailing what he is doing. Here is an excerpt

'OK, so I'm starting with $10 and playing ring game NL hold'em online at pokerstars. A few rules:

1. I won't move up in limits unless I have 500 big blinds for that limit. I'm starting at $0.01-$0.02 with a $10 bankroll.
2. When possible, my buy in amount will allow me 5 buy ins at that limit. For example, if I have $5 left, my buy in for the game will be $1. I'll continue to do that until I dip below the min buy in.
3. I will play only NL cash games.
4. NEW: If I double my bankroll in a session I'll quit on my blind to help avoid risking too high a percentage of my bankroll in any one hand.
'

Sorry for being in the dark, who is DN and what is FCP?

I would like to read about the wager, seems like there could be something to learn from is BR management.

DN is in the op. FCP was/is DN's original forum and what used to be his online poker site till it was sold to PS. FCP = Full Contact Poker. I'm sure you can find it thru ant search engine.

He won't turn $10 into $100,000 in just side games. Can't be done. Jesus turned his money into $10,000 playing other games and multi tables. Daniel must have a big ego to think he won't go broke over and over again at that level to start with.

I wonder what his timetable is and how many times can he go broke?

It's interesting, but won't happen.

OMG how absolutely gorgeous would it be to see ChuckTs and DN at the same 6max table and see ChuckTs take his candy ass down . I picked ChuckTs because he's a fellow Canadian to DN and the slaughter would be sweeter for him.

Just so happens that I seen DN go bust last night a little after midnight.When I first spotted his table I observed him all-in and everyone was telling the guy to call and he was weak if he didnt call,after thinking for a long time the guy called and broke DN with A10 and a 10 on the board.DN mucked his hand but I guess he had J10.

I was just thinking about Daniel. I would love to sit on the rail watching him work his way through a tournament. I'm sure they only show the clashes on TV, but i would like to see what he does the rest of the time. I would like to see how aggressive he is and how he builds his stack. How lose/tight does he play in the beginning, how often he tries to steal, etc. To be a fly on the wall, I would probably learn a bunch by just watching him play!! He uses 'kidpoker' at PS?

I 2nd this:) . Look CF was one thing, and how he did it, I sure as hell can't, but DN@.1/.2 working it all the way to 100k, is un-do-able.

If he does this then I'll top him, but working 10 into 1Mill:D (Ya right, lol). But really though, ppl at those levels, will just donate left right and center just to donk DN, and then 10 is bye bye bye.

Haha... well... let me tell you a story.

I sold 1 million play chips on stars last summer. I started with $10 just the same as him. I have never deposited, and never gone broke. Now I have a few hundred bucks and am only playing 10nl and less but I entirely plan to get up to much higher tables eventually. I have all the time left in my life. I am in no hurry at all.

I just play a much nittier BRM style than his at the micros, and I only play a hundred hands or so a day so it's gonna take me a lot longer. ;) (not to mention hes slightly better at poker than me.)

But I don't see how you think beating the cash games (if thats what you mean by side games) isn't possible.

By the time he gets to $5/$10 he will hit his 100k in a matter of days or maybe weeks IMO.

I have to say that i am a fan of Daniel at PS because when i signed up he sent me a message and a free $5.00...I thought it was nice that the biggest and best poker site still wants to work a little for my attention by giving me a free $5...daniel is adding some much need customer service/appreciation to a lackluster team over there at PS

I find it amazing how many people will sacrifice their dignity to try and talk to these pros when they play in these lower level games. I can understand waiting inline for a chance to play with them, but to go into observer chat and act like some teenage girl going nuts for some teen idol, come on, just grow up.
