I think that its difficult, because poker is not a exactly game, but I'm sure he is one of the best players all the time

I think he's both - he's a very good player AND he's exceptionally good at marketing himself

He is a very good player but nowadays it's more marketing than anything.

He is good, but isnt in the top 50 anymore.

Great marketer though!

He one of the best. If you took the first place in the tournament - you are the best, in the next tournament you again have to prove that you are the best.

I like Negreanu, a very good player, but he was famous for his PR. Like all television players. Of course, he won many tournaments and was in prizes, but he's all a cash game player, not a tournament player.

I heard from one of his dealer friend that he was deeply in trouble with the IRS and that he is called a two-faced poisonous elf. He likes to call himself an ambassador to the game but what that means is he wants fresh fish to lose their learning curve money when they start NLH cash without knowing how dangerous it is to do that.


I personally think the guy is an outgoing scumbag...really tricky guy professional marketer.

He is one of the most complete players considering his great reading, he is very patient, and he controls the size of the pot. However, I think there are players with better strategies and with a little less luck.

I think so is because if you look how much he earned for his poker career, and the most interesting is that his bankroll fiction from balchem he's not from a very rich family so he's earned himself .

As answered... Just ONE of the bests. He is in fact good at marketing himself and it makes he "bigger" than other players.

Is Daniel Negreanu a great poker player; absolutely. Is he the best now; probably not, because poker goes in ebbs and flows. He is still very capable of winning any tournament he enters, but it is not the same as rating the best in a particular sport. Who's the best: Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Any team owner would love to have either.
