Daniel Negreanu says he lost $2.2 million playing tournament poker in 2023

Even the best can have a bad streak, it doesnt mean he will recover soon.

Recover ??? 2 million are peanuts for him. That's like we would lose 200$ , hurts but no biggie

Scary fact actually scares me a little because I play tournaments and I've seen him play and he's very good. But I guess it's been a rough patch

Dnegs losing that much just proves how terrible and soul crushing MTT variance really is. Quite an eye opener.

This is why I started playing and sometimes force myself to play full-ring cash tables. I usually have 1 cash table one when I play an MTT. Usually win more then enough to cover the MTT buy-in. Even thou I dislike and don't enjoy playing cash much it's a means to an end. MTT's are much different then lottery tickets. The only difference is there's a small limited number of lottery tickets compared to real lotteries so your chances are a little better of winning but still pretty terrible overall.

Cheers!!!

Even the best fall sometimes man. Just gotta stick around and fight through those tough times. Nothing else to it.

 

[Oliverromero]

Just a bad year.

The bottom line should always be that the profit-loss balance tilts to the side of profit, and then the amount lost does not matter as much if the profit is greater.

I want your thoughts on it!

I think he can afford it, unlike you and me. Considering how much money he won in previous years, such financial losses are not critical for him.

Playing poker is just one of his income streams. His biggest income would come from encouraging sucker fish to join the site that currently sponsors him.

 

[nguyenhanh]

For him it is too normal

 

[turnupthebb]

I don't think a pro should be in red after a year of poker. Maybe he didn't play so much, just very little? Because if he only played very little then variance will have bigger impact. He has enough money to not have to play poker ever again so it makes sense.

But if he has been grinding and managed to end the year in a loss then that's weird. He is mainly a live player too where winrates are very high compared to online so variance shouldn't be able to end a year of grinding in red.

He will bounce back.

I foresee 2024 will be a big year for Kid Poker

 

[shanest]

you would have to examine the volume of games and value he is playing.
how many buy ins does that equate to if hes playing all high rollers.
im sure its small change for him

 

[Gdefender]

This is exactly what I was referring to in a previous forum post, that the so-called professionals are not that profitable either, because what they sometimes win, a larger amount, they pack back.......however, they are sponsored, so their standard of living does not deteriorate from a loss....

 

[Jayinem]

I've watched him extensively and I'll be honest his play does not impress me that much. He doesn't have the reading skills of a Phil Ivey, I see him folding the winning hand a lot and calling when he's beat, and making some terrible bluffs that get called. Maybe he has lost a step from the past? I'm not sure.

 

[pankovarthur]

Daniel is the nicest guy in poker, definitely. Even in loss, i think we can all learn from him

 

[The_Kid456]

That sounds like a bunch of B.S! Sure he lost a lot of money actually playing poker, but I can almost guarantee that his income from YouTube and whatever else he does for money, (such as any sponsor ships or anything like that) offset any losses he had at the tables. I bet if you looked at his total income for the year he made money. He's obviously posting this video in hopes of getting lots of views, going viral, and making money off of it. Very smart move on his part

 

[WrongUsername]

what is 2millions for Daniel? nothing.

 

[luckyfish98]

But the fact that it affected Daniel's health, I think is a blow to him too!

 

[dem_al100]

Apparently, it can allow you to lose so much.Poker is an intellectual game.It will definitely make a profit in the future

 

[M13A13]

There's something that players can't do without losing. Although losses will be outweighed by gains, the reality for every player is that losing is part of the game.

 

[odonob]

And this is why I play mostly freerolls. If one of he supposedly best player in the world ,pmakes catastrophic losses, this shows how hard variance is to overcome for the ordinary punter.

 

[Vallet]

Even a master like Daniel Negreanu can suffer a crushing defeat. This is the most serious blow to the bankroll based on its schedule in the last 10 years.

 

[antonis32123]

i think nowadays he plays more loose and recklessly than in the past , trying to stay among first , i guess the bonus money from ambassador partnerships help him a lot .

Даниэль Негреану получил удар по подбородку в 2023 году.​

Although he's about a player, I saw him live poker at tournaments in Monaco three years ago and he lost there because he was bluffing stupid things that had never happened to him before. So another fact is that players make serious mistakes when playing poker
