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.
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.

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.

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

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:reddy:

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.

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

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! :)

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.:bandit::cool::bandit:

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
