If it's in a live setting I'd give a slight edge to Deng's online more towards polk but it's hard to know both are good so variance could end up deciding things and polk hasn't played in a while, so it depends when it is!

This gone be an interesting match , If i had to pick one of them i would pick Daniel Negreanu . I've meet him once when he came in my country to play a tournament , and i had the chance to talk to him for a couple of minutes , great man . So all the way Kidpoker

A.

i think Doug Polk has a lot of online poker skills
i think he will win

My money's on negranu due to experience.

I was a Negreanu's fan many years ago when I watched poker on TV, I wish him win but probably young Doug Polk will take over.

I like both players. Two of my most favorite players ever. It depends. If its live, i think Daniel will win. If its online, i think Doug will win.

I agree with these being the likely outcomes--would be really epic if the match involved both modes of play!

both great players
interesting to watch their confrontation

Doug was one of the best online NL heads-up players in the world and I expect he has seen millions more hands in this format than Negreanu. If I had any money, it would be bet on Doug.

Doug and it's not close.

Negreanu tried to cast himself as the underdog during this weeks DAT podcast. On paper that is true but Negreanu has a lot more current experience than Polk, who has literally played nothing for the past few years. If I had to bet I would say Polk, but Negreanu is very, very uptight about Polk to I might put it a closer run thing than people think.

Unless something's changed it's 200/400nl HU right? Polk easily

Depends on who gets lucky here

A Negreanu \o/

Of course, Daniel Negreanu. Simply because he's a good guy.

So far, apparently, the opinion of the forum is very even, there are those who go for Kidpoker and others for WCGRider.

I agree with what the majority express in particular with what Loyal_Flush says
and
Katie Dozier

But if I had a chance to put some money in stocks, I wouldn't hesitate to do it for "Kidpoker" as it always works well if it is duels.

Polk for the win. He has too much experience heads up, he'll be able to exploit Negreanu's play to where it's going to be very polarized. Negreanu is going to need a ton of luck and make some bold hero calls to win this one.

Negreanu for the win!!!

Doug. He is much better player than Negreanu in heads up and cash games generally.

Although I like Negreanu, I think Doug Polk will win. Doug Polk is very famous in heads up high stake. I heard he spent a lot of time analyzing heads up games and has become one of the best players in the world. Doug Polk has not only experience but also the best skills in heads up, it is very difficult for Negreanu to beat him.

i think poulk can win

Doug is the clear favourite, but anything can happen in poker.

Without hesitation Doug Polk is a HU specialist and I think he has an advantage in this match. If it were tournaments Negreanu would have the advantage but this is not the case, so I would choose WCGrider

I hope daniel wins, but i think he's the underdog here...

Doug will teach him some manners , and some HU advanced poker Rooting for him , hopefully he'll beat Daniel easily

Not only does Doug have a heads up advantage but he also has an online advantage. If it were a live match I would give Daniel the edge as more capable of reading his opponent.

If Doug does win Daniel should challenge him to a live rematch.

I guess Doug Polk "WCGRider" wins this bet. He is more motivated now in a better psychological state than his opponent.

Doug FTW!!!

I really think the format favors Doug so I think he will win the match. I would not be surprised if DNegs wins though. This format is in Dougs wheelhouse while Dnegs is more of a mixed game guy from what I remember about him. Advantage Doug Polk.

doug hes a headsup player so makes sense

Doug has a cooler hair cut but Daniel will kick it.

Doug is gonna win..

Is easy when Negreanu is too agressive in HU

Think you are spot on with this. Also think the format will matter, ie if they are playing 4 tables HU online then Polk would have a big edge, but it if its live 1 table I would go with Daniel.

I think Daniel is going to win

Can we all agree that they are both very good players and whomever wins- it doesn't really matter or mean much. We all win and loose at poker throughout a poker session and we often put our chips in the middle on a coinflip. Maybe Doug is trying to refuel some imaginary competition so he can get some press about himself or poker. A'' poker duel'' draws people's attention and interest. Even if Negreanu looses what does it really mean? GG poker are using emoji's with his face so that's probably the epitome of making it in poker, not some ego duel.
