My remaining two questions would be:Thank you for this opportunity!
I have to think of the other 2 but the first question that comes to my mind is:
What's the worst bad beat you ever had? What did it cost you and what have you learned from it?
2. What's the type of opponent you dislike playing against the most and why?
3. What's the best tip you can give to players who want to improve their game?

My questions for Daniel:
1. Canadians are such polite people, unless they have a hockey stick or a poker cards in their hand; then they will pull your shirt over your head and punch you. Did you play hockey growing up and are you just as dangerous on the ice as you are on the felt?
2. You had a producer credit for the movie Skin, how did you get involved in that project? Do you have plans for other productions; if so, what is next for you?
I may come up with some more, I should probably read everyone else's responses so I don't repeat.

Wow, this is amazing news; I look forward to participating and learning a little insight from one of the world elite poker players. Daniel Negreanu is one of the best of the best
Q: Power Hold'em Strategy was one of the first poker books I ever read (great book by the way), so I'd like to ask if poker solvers and GTO poker becoming more mainstream makes this book either outdated, or actually more valuable in some ways?
Obviously, high stakes poker with pros requires a need to stay close to GTO just so you aren't run over, but especially at the micro/mid-stakes, this isn't necessarily the case. I'd like to hear your opinion on the value of Power Hold'em Strategy in today's poker as a whole and not as much at just certain game stakes.
Q: I know that you and Phil Hellmuth have been friendly over the years; I can even sense the respect you have for Hellmuth's opinions in your YouTube channel (Day 22 ADVICE FROM HELLMUTH and winning with the worst hand? Blog video wsop 2022 is one example where this is apparent). This gets me curious to ask, do you see Hellmuth as more of a friend who occasionally competes against you, or do you see Hellmuth more as a competitor first and only "friends" as the result of playing high stakes poker together for so many years?
You both are POKER LEGENDS and have always been my two favorite poker pros
Q: As an avid golfer as well (handicap of 7), do you have any cool "golf stories" you'd like to share?

My question(s) for Daniel is:
After all these years playing poker, how do you maintain your motivation for competition at your highest level?
How is it that you haven't quit (taking your winnings with you) and taken up some other form of business pursuit?
Cheers!

You smile after mentioning inappropriate questions, that smile isn't directed at me surely!?

My questions would be:
1. Did you play a lot with Chip Reese? If so, why is he considered as one of the best, some call him the best, cash game player ever?
2. You say that Stud H/L is your best game. Why do you think this is, as your results show, that you are top of the crop in any game?
3. You wrote the chapter about Limit 2-7 TD in Super System 2. Were you confident that you are one of the best in that game back then and would you consider yourself as one of the best now?

Hi everyone! Thanks to the community for such a guest and for the opportunity to ask him questions, because thanks to Daniil, I started playing poker.
1) School was boring for you. You often took a pillow to school and slept in class saying you were bored. Why isn't poker a boring game for you?
2) You have often won in your city. But when you first went to Las Vegas, you lost big more than once, why didn't you stop, go to work and keep playing, and how did you know you were going to be a champion?
3) Is it true that you played not for fun or money, but to make your parents proud, you improved your games and tried again to make them happy? Thanks for any answer.)))

Congrats CC for 18 years and the postcad with Daniel!
My questions :
1 - Do you believe a poker player's current level is correlated with their knowledge of GTO?
2 - Do you believe in luck in gambling or in life? (something like being in the right place at the right time or living in a time where poker makes a good money and is allowed, for example)... If so, if you could represent a player's success as a percentage, how much would it be?

Mainly to welcome the great Daniel Negreanu, a player who inspired me to start playing at poker stars
Question 1: When you play I love your funny moves. Is that a strategy? or is it your way of seeing the game???
2nd question: Within the follow-up that I have done of your poker career, the best moments were experienced in your confrontations with Phil Hellmuth in various tables. Is there really a great rivalry with Phil??? or within the rivalry, then there is a friendship that leads them to do a kind of show ???
3rd question: This is about poker strategy and especially with one of the problems that we all have, which is the bubble game. Suppose we are in the middle of the board of players in theory far from the bubble, without supposed problems, and an AA comes to us suppose in initial position and the one with a higher stack than ours inside the table sends us an all-in So let's say he has the KK or QQ, the question is: Do we pay or do we expect to enter the prize when the bubble ends and then play freely???
Thank you for always being Master Daniel with your good energy and with that funny smile. You make this game not become so dramatic. Congratulations for being so.
A big hug. Carlos from Algarrobo - argentina
