I am pretty interested in watching this match. I am glad to see that one of the old guard, Daniel Negreanu, has realized the skill of many of these young guns in the game today and has decided to embrace their knowledge and become a better player. I would really like to hope that he can compete with Isildur, but honestly I think he is still at a disadvantage with multi-tabling against a pro who does it for a living. Let's hope Daniel knows what he is getting himself into!

It is astonishing to me how nobody in this thread has any idea what they are talking about.

Yes, Negreanu has a good live reading ability, but up against another pro, it more than likely wouldn't be a game changer.

In a live setting? Ya think?
I disagree. I think he has an uncanny ability in live play. I watched for a couple of days throughout a tournament, one that he went to go on & win (& had him sitting at my table) & I'd say his live reading abilities are pretty intimidating.

Funny how no one ever knows what they are talking about in any thread you enter.

I'm not sure exactly what you watched him do, but I always saw DN talking as more of a magic trick. And by that I mean it is just a trick. Obviously, it is done more to intimidate and get people to not bet and things more than getting tells.

Yeah. Daniel will even use simple conversation to extract information. For example, "How about this weather?" He has said he can gain information this way. Watched him on the PS Big Game and he asked the loose cannon a ton of questions about his days of racing cars. Like Daniel cares? lol

I'll be rooting for the kid but to be honest I think Blom has a bit of an edge.

Perth on the West Coast - you made the right choice in going to Melbs, I reckon the Crown is Australias best Casino... My local is horrible :(

This should be a good showdown. I know from his tweets, that DN is excited about the showdown. Oh and he's looking a sparring partner right now.

He just posted this about an hour ago:
If you want to be a sparring partner @PokerStars today I'll be looking to 4-table 50-100 NLH to practice for Isildur. No min raisers sorry.

so will DN have access to the supposed bot that was made of Isul using 50k hands that allowed that one guy to get him for over 4 million?

It doesn't look like it is going to go to a second week at this rate.

After 934 hands, Isildur1 is leading the match with a massive $119,000 in profit.
