Master Troll: Doug Polk Billboard Taunts Daniel Negreanu Outside WSOP


I guess Doug is getting as much as he can out of this.

What are your thoughts on this ongoing battle?

Doug is out to have a laugh master marketing stroke to advertise himself and I assume up swing poker will take more business due to this billboard and hype going through the net news.
Daniel kind of got last laugh though taking 3 million out of that high roller event am sure he is well able for a bit of teasing and will not lose any sleep over it.

Doug putting his $$$ to good use! WTG Dougie!!

while Daniel spends 20k tipping dealers some others like to spend their money trolling.

This is what bad parenting looks like.

I think they have their reasons. Maybe he got a bad deal with Poker Stars so rather than just walk away he attacks them and their star player. Daniel is a fantastic player high intellect and great sense of humour way more personable than his counterpart. I personally have no preference between the two but I bet its more about some bad deal between Doug and Poker Stars than a real personal grudge against Daniel

I laughed so hard when I saw this coffee was sprayed lol Thanks for this and too funny .... And Doug's antics are kind of silly to me ...but his poker videos are a good thing to watch ..except for his attempts at comedy, and all the faces ..... Just not really a favorite I guess you would say ....but extra funny if he's been drinking : )

Doug likely has a few fans that think this is ok and likely laughing (or whatever) with him. As far as marketing? this could really backfire on him, too.

It is getting old, in my opinion.

I personally don't care for Doug Polk and his attempts what he thinks is funny some of his poker videos are okay and informative but I don't care for his style personally that much. It's not that I am more partial to Daniel negreanu either but I prefer the way he acts compared to Doug polks antics....

I prefer Doug Polk's antics.

Polk and Negreanu need each other to keep people talking about Poker. It's like the UFC trashtalking thing where some of the worst fighters get more PPV than the best fighters, all because of trashtalking. Who's right and who's wrong doesn't even matter to Polk. If Negreanu says A Polk automatically says B. I see right through it. It's good for Polk to disagree with pro's so he can uphold his image as a niche in the pokerscene.

I really like both guys. The trolling is kinda fun and I hope Negs hits him back with something though out of chaacter it may be. More rake is not better. He's a company man I get it, he has to be so no foul there.

Publicly expressed by Daniel opinion that the increase in rail's good for poker, would be absurd and ridiculous. Doug continues to mock him, and he is absolutely right. This will continue as long as Daniel does not find the strength to apologize and admit his words for the Protection of recreational players increase rail direct deception.
