These are the flaws in all poker players including me

1.) we like to complain
2.)We think we are always right
3.) we don't like to be told what we can and can not do
4.)we are lazy
5.)we think we are special
and each one of these flaws contributed to what happened here and here's how..

Daniel Negreanu was standing and was feeling to lazy to sit down (4) The dealer mucks his hand as soon as he deals his cards. "Wait a minute, I'm Daniel negreanu my hand shouldn't be dead!!!" (5) Yaps Daniel towards the dealer. "You can not be standing while the cards are being dealt" the dealer replies "Floor!!!!" (3) cries Daniel. The floor man tells daniel "The dealer is in the right according to the rule" Daniel gets furious "You and the dealer are wrong!!!! (2)"I was standing right there!!" Daniel says as he points to the ground "I am Daniel Negreanu the ambassador of poker, google me" (5)(1) "this is ridiculous I'm going all in next hand" Screams Daniel as his face gets red. Daniel then splashes the pot out of turn and gets called by the SB. "FAHHHKKK" screams Daniel "I lost!!!" he continues screaming as he gives the floor man a This is Sparta kick to the chest before he takes to twitter to tweet "The Tournament Director is wrong the dealer is wrong and the Floor Man is wrong" Tweets Daniel (1) (2)(5) "How can they think I'm wrong just look!" Daniel posts a link to his name on google right next to the link of the dealers name on google. "This guy doesn't even have one page to his name I have.. Well I'm to lazy to look how many pages I got but it's a lot" (4)(5)Daniel tweets, "Whatever I'll just go back there and get in the top 3 with a rebuy" Daniel says to himself.

Technicallly, he was in the wrong, but if he was standing right there, behind his chair, the dealer could have just asked if he was in the hand, as a courtesy. Hell, they do that for players at my local casino, and we're just a bunch of goobs playing $1/$2 no-limit. :p
You are exactly right, I've seen them do that many times at different casinos.

I read the rule and it says "at his chair", not "in" he was certainly "at" I think his behavior was appropriate. The money was not an issue for him. He made a strong statement about his feelings.

Yeah I agree here. The guy has money to play thousands of these games. He has a right to sound off here.

I think the rule is way too strict, he was standing next to his seat so why is his hand mucked? He could have seen his hand immediately if he had to, so this rule makes no sense. I respect him for quitting the tourney afterwards though, since he wanted to make clear that he did not agree with this rule.

i think the rule is right, i wouldnt want the player next to me to be standing when i'm looking at my cards, it is just annoying and cheaters will benefit from that,
princess Negreanu should have kept his ass on the seat until he folds his hand, then he can stand up when he is no longer involved in the pot, makes sense to me

His actions in this tournament are very immature and I wouldn't expect it from someone of his stature.

This can be looked at from many angles, but at least he exposed this way some possibly ricidulous rule.
But if he reentered and finished second I guess the thread title could be updated, although this way it draws more attention.

I like negreanu no more that tournament game :eviltongu, To that respect.

good to the part that is also the fault of the By Putting talk to their friends in full live tournament I think that sometimes a bit distracting and disruptive Mind one Player of Poker.

I don't know about that ^ He did actually 're-enter' and ended up taking second place for ~260,000 euros.

Way to go Daniel. I like the new hair, too.
From what I've read, the rule seems to be too strict, but also kind of open for an interpretation.

I don't think he does the same thing if he knows that he's not allowed time to "cool off" and then rebuy back into the tournament. Just speculation, but just saying...
