Daniel Negreanu is still a legend in the world of poker, he has been in the center of attention many times. I think we will always marvel at his accomplishments. That he lost a fortune (for some news protagonists) does not change his value and achievements,..... in the end maybe he allowed himself, or felt comfortable in the eventuality of a doubling.
Big players, Big pots 😉 .

At the beginning of every year, Daniel Negreanu reports on the progress (or lack of progress) of his poker bankroll. This year Kid Poker announced he had lost $2,228,174 playing tournament poker in 2023. In his yearly YouTube video, Daniel has faced the loss and also provides thoughts on why and how the loss occurred.

Check out the article and the YouTube video for more on this topic.

What's wrong with marketing yourself well?

He has turned a passion/hobby into his main job and tries to get the best out of it and seems to be very successful with it.

Even if he were a bad player (which I don't claim), it would still be all the more remarkable that he is still so popular and successful!

Regardless of whether I personally like him or not, performance should always be recognized.

Poker grows and flourishes through people like Daniel and that's what we all want, isn't it, dear poker community!?

Hello, here I am sad because the balance I have is 50 dollars down throughout the year from everything I played and the amount I spend is incredible, but we know that this is the case, in the long run the investment is recovered or even doubled

Oh it's time to get personal?
At least proper english please. This forum is english only.
If you watch D. recent stuff you might understand why I don't buy his Mr. Nice Guy table acting image.
O sorry, was my post in german ?

I watch Daniel and i do not care if he is losing or not, but you just say he has to lose all, why ?
It seems that you are losing to much and you are just jalours he has some millions on his bankaccount.

You are getting personel to Daniel and why is that ?

Have a nice time in playing, i hope you win and not lose.

I hope every player is wiining, but that is not possible.

As I've often said, high stakes poker is obscene. Anyone who can afford to lose that kind of money should be doing something productive instead.

calculating an estimated total he lost 3.5 Mio and won 13.6.
So he's still in the plus.

Hello, I think that for a player like him with so many profits over the years, that loss will not affect him much. If I think that mentally something is going to have to change

The things I've read about, BIG name poker players, almost all losing players, only their sponsors keep them alive... So a player wins a tournament with a big total prize, then they drop the amount back, and some even double it, because they enter tournaments with a large buy-in fee... but the featured celebrities are of course sponsored by gg or stars or one of the well-known gambling companies, so they always have something to start over!

Great and honest video, because it shows how big the swing are for all the hightstacks/pro players. Few good or bad tournament can realy make or break an entire year earning in poker. Usually, among poker players, everyone talks about the winnings they have collected, but not the money they have lost because it is not recorded. 2024 will be interesting year for Dnegs., let see if he can get out of that huge drawdown. :unsure:

Interesting when he shows his last 10 years results, it's enviable.
I wonder how much he does with sponsors, books and teaching programs.

The most beautiful and fun poker tables are the ones where DANIEL NEGREANU is with PHIL HELLMUTH and sometimes PHIL IVEY. You'll see the peak of competition. As for DANIEL NEGREANU, I read on one of the sites specialized in poker that his fortune is estimated at 50 million dollars. He ranks fourth in the list of theTop 10 greatest poker players of all time

I don't know and I don't understand Negreanu but I know that poker is like that for one to win the rest have to lose, of course he is famous and makes a lot of money with his image and has sponsorship, he can make money with casinos and other things with his fame, He's a fan of Stu Ungar and so am I, Stu went bankrupt and I managed to win again and go bankrupt again. A player can't keep money all the time

Goes to show how important it is the way you run at a certain point. As he says, competition is way stronger today than it used to be and you're not only depending on your play anymore. Got to win those all-ins and flips to get far.
Also nice to see how he sees the mistakes he made (too many tournaments and playing while not feeling like playing) and is prepared to correct them. Nothing else but the right mindset from kid poker.

I couldn't handle it tbh. It's better to risk the money of others. Like the bank!

It's part of the life of a professional poker player, big tournaments with big prizes will have consequences of big losses, it's not always that he wins, but for him 2.2 million dollars doesn't make a dent in his bankroll, because he's always grinding master In tournaments, whether online or live, the first rule of a professional player is to have very precise bankroll control.

I wonder when he says something about the superuser account discovered on GG :unsure:

"Well i actually think more superusers are good for the game. They drive the pros out and therefore, games will get softer in general. Amandaaaaa and my cutie cutie puppies have the same opinion."

Possible Negreanu statement.
