Well after reading what you said zach i really thought the same to, so I watched again. It was very interesting that daniel said " I have the type of hand I can't cal you with". The only thing I can get from it is that he obv made a hand, since at first daniel said he had nothing or "squat" he can't just call, he has to raise, either to get the person to fold and not see what he was betting with(no information) or to get something less, like you said to call(possibly make it look like a bluff, a lot of fish would call it down)
This is the only thing I could pull from it, hope it helps, like you said Daniel knows a lot more so who knows really
Seen this before, but still glad to see it again, although I'd like to ask on the last hand why Daniel could only raise or fold there. Is anything weaker calling a bet? What's the purpose of that bet? It could easily be a bluff, set, 2-pair, so I would definitely call there, but I don't see what raising accomplishes. And then after the re-raise it was an easy lay-down, especially if he knew he was bluffing. The 3rd spade came on the river, why would he 3-bet with a hand like aces up (as he claimed he had) or a set? Even if he thought Daniel was bluffing he would have just flat called the raise. That wasn't exactly a great lay-down and I would question the river raise except for the fact that it's Daniel Negreanu who probably knows a bit more about poker than me lol. So instead of saying I think it's wrong I'd simply like to know why he's right. Why is that a fold or a raise and not a call?
This guy is only unbelievable good!!
The only exception I have seen was that highstack poker session
Fullhouse vs. Gus Hansons four of a kind
daniel is unbelieveble !!! if i wouda played with him and he woulda told me my pocket cards i think i wooulda be sh.....g in my pants
