Hello!🙋♀️🤗
You know what I think?
A person loses exactly as much as he considers acceptable (in cases when he is well thought out). It's indecent to count other people's money, but Daniel's income is simply amazing! 💞
Having lost a million, he only attracted more attention to himself - this is marketing, and this marketing move will definitely pay off.🌺🌺🌺

I mean yes, I just mentioned how much he lost referring to how bad he's running. (he mentionned it in the Vlog anyways)
I know that he doesn't care about losing that much because he earns a lot more.

Believe me, as a marketing specialist, I can say that mentioning him failure in a blog is also a marketing ploy....Great move!👍🥰

I have reasons to think I might be the only one here (this thread) that has watched every one of Negreanu's blogs at wsop 2022 and it has been a mixed bag.
First he did something similar in the rescheduled 2021 WSOP accept he saved his skin by running deep in two high rollers at the very end of the series which ultimately put him in positive territory. He could still do something similar though I believe but the scheduling makes it a little tougher.
Regarding Negreanu's play, again, if you had watched the blogs you would know that many of his plays have been poor (and the comments on certain days have reflected this). That's just a fact. With the 250K two bullets fired, the first one was a mix of bad play and some run bad and the second bullet was also a lot of dubious calls with a bad beat at the very end. He then slammed his equipment on the table and then threw other pieces of equipment at the wall (as reported in Pokernews).
I always find it somewhat silly when anyone claims someone such as Negreanu can simply afford to lose a million here or there as though he is swimming in money. He is not that rich that a million is of no consequence and even the seriously wealthy would not be happy losing a million in public. And as noted Negreanu lost his cool on Friday and actually (if watching the blog) he has done to some degree throughout the series.
No doubt Negreanu is comfortably well off and can afford to take the hit....if he then rebounds elsewhere, but his record at the WSOP for years has been somewhat questionable. His runs for player of the year have masked the fact he has not won a WSOP event since 2013 and a bracelet for years since 2008. Describing this as good marketing is a stretch to say the least, I think being up a million and in player of the year contention would be a preferred spot for Negreanu.
Regarding the losses, it is funny because (once again) there has been some speculation within comments about Negreanu's sponsorship deals and some pose GG Poker is paying his buy-ins. In part because of his frivolous play at times. Who knows? I do not really subscribe to the GG theory but I do suspect that Negreanu might have a few sponsorship arrangements on the down low which could surprise people as he wants to present in a particular manner.
Regarding his current WSOP status, as someone else tabulated he could quite easily spend another $1 million on buy-ins before the series ends...but that also means the opportunity to make six and seven figure scores. Though very patchy so far, Negreanu's 2022 WSOP is far from over.

Who has never been angry and irritated at a poker table, cast the first stone, Negreanu is a human being just like all of us.

The way he spent $500,000 on a day, if GG is not paying a part of the buy-ins and I don't think maybe a small percentage tho. It means he can afford it easily, he has more than $60 Millions according to google but I think he's way richer than that.
I don't think he's tilted because he lost a million, losing a crucial all in with TT against QT runner runner is an enough raison to get mad.

hmmmmmm.
Is he really a "human being just like all of us"?
Or is he a professional player with decades of experience and sponsored by a big pokersite?
That kind of behavior would not be acceptable in any professional competition like Chess or Tennis without proper punishment.

First, if you reply to my posts could you do me the favor of paying attention to all points made?
He has only lost $1 million technically if he stops playing today, which he is not going to do. I pointed out he has ample opportunity to make a 6 or seven figure score before the end of WSOP. I also pointed out he was in the self same position last year and managed to salvage the series.
Regarding Negreanu's wealth, I can't believe anyone would cite 'they Goggled it' as if that were credible. I would have no idea of where his wealth stands but the idea it runs to well over 60 million is far fetched. As noted, I follow Negreanu (in an admitted love/hate mode). His house is modest, and has not been touched in terms of upgrades but for his wife's closet in years. He and she drive a Tesla. Just a few years ago Negreanu was detailing plots and houses around a private golf course in LV and implied he was buying a plot. I believe the plots were around 2 to 4 million each but the move never materialized. I am not saying he can't afford to upgrade his house but he does not appear to be living a $60 million dollar lifestyle. Negreanu got a great basic income from pokerstars and is doing so through GG Poker. Outside of that, I am sure he has some amount of millions in the bank but the idea he can then spew of millions casually just does not add up. Negreanu has been open about his profit and loss for years and in one 5 year spell he was up by 8 million but that rested entirely on the fact he made an 8 million dollar score in the One Drop, otherwise he had made no money. In fact he has also pointed out that he has, for example, had great a WSOP series and made over two million yet spent even more in buys in and still come away with a loss. There is a reason why Negreanu plays the ambassador role to the hilt. First he loves the attention but secondly he loves that steady income. Nothing wrong with that. But there is nothing about his lifestyle that would indicate he is worth $60 million
Finally, it has been well documented (via his own You Tube streams) once Negreanu left PokerStars his public image slipped and he has exhibited a lack of control and a very bad temper numerous times. In fact down in mexico for WSOP inline 2020 he ended up being banned from Twitter for his offensive outbursts. This was nowhere near to being a one off outburst.

Yup, this so much.
It's a bit like the Helmuth scenarios. If a regular player acted in a similar manner they would receive an instant warning if not a punishment. It's not as though anyone who has played poker cannot sympathize with a bad beat. But some of us have managed to never smash a mouse in anger as it frankly feels a tad juvenile.
However, to reiterate something I said above (and I have watched all his streams) his play has been questionable in many spots but since when did following in an all-in from Peters with pocket tens qualify as an EV move? Pocket tens? Obviously this was an attempt at a squeeze play from Peters (or randomizing) and it looked bad when the card flipped as he was holding Q 10, but what exactly did Negreanu think he was ahead of? After all Robl had the sense to muck his hand after he had raised. Not a good play.
The most amusing thing to me, was in the Pokernews update clip on the matter they featured Martin Kabrhel describing the hand in vivid detail with a smile on his face. Kabrhel is unquestionably the biggest disrupter and troll in the high rollers, so it was cheeky as all hell they had Kabrhel cheerfully relating the hand and how Negreanu 'didn't take it so well'.

Daniel Negreanu signed a multi-year deal with GGPoker in 2019, which was more lucrative than his previous deal with PokerStars, making him the best-paid poker ambassador.
The most famous poker player on the planet with the biggest poker room on the planet nowadays, seems good for both.
Regarding his wealth, the richest people don't brag about their money and I respect him for that, he doesn't need ten cars and a mansion ? He's simple.
When you talk about lifestyle, you expect him to live like Lil Pump ? He's 47 mate. 😂

to be fair, it wasn't just that hand, I've been watching his vlogs and it's been weeks of run bad/losing coin flips. He also hasn't had any luck chasing bracelets in the smaller events but I'm sure he'll be just fine.

I've also been watching his vlog on this years WSOP, and if I remember correctly he has cashed twice this year. I think it's a combination of bad play (trying to bluff too much), bad beats, and unfortunately losing a lot of coin flips. I still believe both Phil Ivey (as expected, doing pretty good this year), and Daniel Negreanu are the two of the greatest poker players.
I agree with you here DS3, I believe Negreanu can bounce back and at least break even. If I remember correctly, Daniel was over 400K in profits last year.
I also enjoy watching High Stakes poker, Daniel has been playing well at those cash games. I don't know how "rich" Negreanu is, but I can't see him retiring/walking away from poker any time soon. I think he's going to play longer than Doyle.
