I think that Daniel is correct about that. That's some good advice. If I can't spot another player that is weaker than me, I would just leave and find another table to play at.

#6 October 26th, 2019, 8:26 PM

I think it's a very generalized statement. It's going to depend on the type of game, the stack sizes, and how much of a difference there is in skill levels just to name a few things. I'm pretty sure top 20 could hold their own against one another given equal footing.

#7 October 26th, 2019, 8:28 PM

Jajaja yes dude, until you can prove otherwise during the game

#8 October 26th, 2019, 8:38 PM

There you feel great playing against them

Daniel Negreanu , wants to say in this , which always as a player we must have our privilege as a player , not there that feel less player , always be powerful wherever one is and always think big, I would withdraw from the table? Rather it would take notes because I am with master of poker

You have to remember,these guys have all the time in the world to sit around and talk,,,,,they can't always be right,,,and sometimes (like all of us) we talk out of our azzes,,, What do you think about this quote from Daniel Negreanu?

Nobody should feel bad about being 5th best in the world in anything,,,, Nobody. What do you think about this quote from Daniel Negreanu?

#10 October 26th, 2019, 9:10 PM

Top 5 in the world would be amazing. Even if the top 4 at table, I would try to beat them .

#11 October 26th, 2019, 9:31 PM

On any table I am the 5th one What do you think about this quote from Daniel Negreanu?

#12 October 26th, 2019, 9:41 PM

Hi There

lololol

#13 October 26th, 2019, 11:57 PM

I will play more conservative,and wait more for good hands after the flop.

#14 October 27th, 2019, 1:38 AM

It�s the truth. If they�re rated better then you in earning that would be debatable but he�s referring to skill which he�s correct.

#15 October 28th, 2019, 6:47 AM

I went to the bathroom for a few minutes and when I came back there was no one at the poker table, and then I realized they were only playing because of me, because I'm a sucker !
(C)Daniel Negreanu

#16 October 28th, 2019, 1:24 PM

I'm the best player

#17 October 28th, 2019, 1:53 PM

I can say that poker profit comes from playing against players who are less technical than you

#18 October 29th, 2019, 3:58 PM

Completely true. Playing at the correct stakes where you are better than most of the players is crucial if you want to achieve long term winnings.

You can be the best player at the table and lose if the cards aren't running favourable for you.

I disagree with him, if you arrived at the final table with the fourth best in the world because you do not have the chanche to win them, it may even be very good, but they are not invincible.

Your presence at the poker sharks table should be an incentive to show your strongest qualities.If you can-excellent.If it didn t work,that s okay.You will succeed next time.

#28 October 31st, 2019, 1:57 PM

I don’t think that the top 20 poker players are very different in terms of game level. But I would prefer to switch to another table in order to maximize my profit.
Daniel did not say anything new in this regard. I see no reason to discuss this.

#29 October 31st, 2019, 3:02 PM

If you do not want to be the kid at the table, beat the fourth one and show what you are!

#30 October 31st, 2019, 3:20 PM

Who is saying is number 1 and who is number 5 hard to say who's the best unless your playing the same 5 guys day in and day out,a few weeks of that then you should be able to tell who's better then who, otherwise anyone can run well and beat anybody but over a few weeks there should be a clear winner What do you think about this quote from Daniel Negreanu?

#31 October 31st, 2019, 3:41 PM

Play poker with that mindset and you are a loser before your backside hits the chair. There is no best player because even the best have off days and I would take my chances with them any day on form or off.

#32 October 31st, 2019, 4:12 PM

To some extent, he is certainly right. But if you already got to this table and you are the fifth, it means that you are also worth it.

I think he is talking in cash games, on a tournament in a final table, we havent choice.

#34 November 2nd, 2019, 3:37 PM

His point, that table selection is extremely important, is a very true one! If you only play with people that are better than you, then it is simple logic that you�ll lose money in the long run.

What�s interesting to me is that this is a point that many very visible/famous poker players seem hesitant to make. A few years ago, there was even this sort of general sentiment among pros that �bum hunting� or seeking out worse opponents to play against was somehow unethical�which I never agreed with.

If you want to win in the long run, you have to play against people that aren�t as good of a poker player as you are, plain and simple! What do you think about this quote from Daniel Negreanu?

#35 November 3rd, 2019, 8:00 AM

This is nonsense in saying. It turns out that if Negreanu 5 is the best in the company of top high scooters, does he look like a cheater? I believe that all players in this situation are equal in status. What do you think about this quote from Daniel Negreanu?

I think everyone would have an equal chance of winning at the table in this scenario.

#37 November 4th, 2019, 10:04 AM

I think he is right - if we want to play profitably - we have to look for weaker players from each other.

#38 November 4th, 2019, 4:22 PM

it is new philosophical discipline negreanusophy

#39 November 4th, 2019, 5:40 PM

I absolutely agree! If you are 5 then you should sit 6, 7, 8, 9, and so on)))

#40 November 4th, 2019, 7:53 PM

Interesting because it helps you keep thinking about improving day to be the best and is applied in anything in life, not to fall into a comfort zone on achieving certain goals, the need to achieve them look better and better every detail, without have distractions to reach the ultimate goal and be the best

#41 November 4th, 2019, 7:56 PM

how damn right he is! I have not heard this before!

#42 November 4th, 2019, 7:56 PM

He would obviously know what he is talking about. It's a funny quote though. I wonder
if the 5th best player could get lucky enough to win it all sometimes! For sure they would.

True but your probably not a big sucker, your just slightly at a disadvantage.

#44 November 4th, 2019, 9:00 PM

I think if you consider yourself the fifth best player in the tournament, then you already have a loser thought ...
Think positive and play your game and do your analysis, previous wins don't title before head's up.

#45 November 6th, 2019, 6:45 PM

I don't think is that way if is the 5 best player one of them will be the sucker loosing or ending in last place. But if you run lets say 5 different games the sucker will not always be the 5 best player, so I don't really think there is a sucker!

#46 November 6th, 2019, 8:08 PM

I completely agree with Daniel, it sounds logical.

#47 November 6th, 2019, 8:14 PM

How will you get better than 5 if you don't play 1, 2, 3 or 4?

#48 November 6th, 2019, 10:57 PM

If you sit at the table and are the 5th best player you would be able to adapt to the situation, tighten your game and by the end of it you could be the best one knocking someone else to the 5th place

#49 December 26th, 2019, 8:32 PM

Thats like joke. Top 5 players have almost same skills

#50 December 26th, 2019, 8:43 PM

Daniel loves to joke. He’s very cool. If he knew that his every word under the microscope was parsed on the forum, he would probably be very surprised. I think that his words do not mean anything.
