Daniel Negreanu on Micro at PokerStars

[amagic]

Chris Fergusson played on freeroll and CG and cash tour gathering 100 000$ maybe half year.?!

Kidpoker has poker knowledge, he has maybe 1-2 mounth 500-1000$.

Talking about online pros and those who sit on the rail like giddy schoolgirls.
I just peeped LadyMaverick(Vanessa Rousso), the railers are pathetic, I had a little class.
I stopped in and typed "LadyMaverick, absolutely beautiful, that is all I came here to say" and left.
FWIW, she is my poker pro crush

I believe any good player who has PATIENCE and DESIRE to make it can make $10 into $100,000. Problem is it will take a long time.. And I think DN will not make it.. Not because he got no skill.. he has enough, but because he has so much money he will eventually give up.. Why play penny tables for hours a day while he could be playing higher stakes and actually be making money for himself? In 1 month if he is not in at least $1/$2 he is going to give up....

 

[Jillychemung]

When you have all the money you need there are other motivations that bubble to the top. DN has said why he's doing this and I think his motivation at the beginning was very high to do something he thought was a 'cool challenge'. But as has been said we'll see if this will be enough motivation to gind onwards. He has updated his progress as of yesterday Jan. 21

'Sweet! On to the next level.'

I'd guess that pokerstars is offering him some sort of substantial bonus if he can meet this challenge. It's a good promotion for them. It encourages people to make their first deposits so they can do the same thing Daniel did.

We wont know if that's the case since he did not say anything about it. So either he is getting something from PS or he is doing it for himself. From the blogs i read he said that he is doing it for himself to get to know game on all the levels... Is it for his own research? Is he planning on releasing some videos for his POKERVT website one day? Who knows.. But i also remember him saying that this year he wants more free time for himself so I wont be surprised that in a month or 2 if he isnt doing as good as he predicted/expected to be doing he will give up.. will see..

He's already made $2nl videos from those sessions for PokerVT . I think his latest blog said they'd be posted soon.

I think he will make it because every idiot on the table will be trying to bust him all-in with garbage. Daniel plays limp/aggressive style a lot. It will suit him fine at the 1/2 tables.

 

[ChasersWanted]

Thats kinda cool how he's playing min NL tables to build a br and see how far he can go. Ther odds of being able to sit with him at this level are crazy, but just imagine how much rake he will produce for PS once he get up in levels....lol

 

[freddevil]

should be interesting to see, dont know if it possible only on cash game.ill try to watch him

 

[PokerPete]

OMG how absolutely gorgeous would it be to see ChuckTs and DN at the same 6max table and see ChuckTs take his candy ass down . I picked ChuckTs because he's a fellow Canadian to DN and the slaughter would be sweeter for him.

lol.... big smile just thinking about it... at some point he's bound to run into a least one of our ring players.... t'would be sweet to have 'em bust him down a level .... just hope we get a HH or two from it!

 

[hotwings18]

people are going to be calling with any two cards in order to try and felt Daniel. if anyone can do it then i think he can but even he gets drawn out on a lot of the time. Anyone seen High Stakes Poker? He loses twice when he flops a full house and loses to quads (on the turn) and then flops a queen high straight and loses to quad eights on the river.

 

[chooo]

the quad eights were on the turn i think

 

[nomasburros]

lol im trying to turn nothing into millions...wonder how long it will take me hmmmmmmmm

I'm a bit of a contrarian, so I'm going the other way. So far, so good.

[ukaliks]

it'll b impossible for him to turn $10 into $100,000 cos of all the donk retards on that level who will wanna go all-in with J2 against him so they can go NEEER i've beaten DN!!
Plus y play with dan when u can come play with me? ^____^

 

[oneleggedman]

lol,
this guys are unvelivable, ha have so much money and he playing at mikro limit and taking money from people who have 20-40$. :argh:

Personally, if I ever played 1/2cent and had DN sitting and my table I would be floored!! But who the hell plays those ridiculously low blinds? The people who have lost all their money and on their last hopes of not re-depositing...

 

[baltdawg]

Daniel like Ferguson

So do you think this is a comparison to what Chris Ferguson did at full tilt. Starting with nothing as reaching 25k in a year?

 

[tubaralhao]

I love daniel. Hope he makes it! I am sure he will

 

[Janon]

Daniel is my favorite pro he seems to always lose with some monster hands tho feel bad for the guy

 

[Jaynore]

Definately possible, just not very probable. The variance on those 1/2NL games is super rediculous. Plus, there are some pretty good players out there that just haven't hit a big tourney and grind those cash games out. Will be interesting in the least to see him at those middle stake games.

 

[marvinas]

He could post his playing times somewhere, would be a massive pr campaign for PS. People could start selling seats at his table lol

 

[Xyphon]

Is this for real? I wouldn't mind going and playing against one of the greats! Just to see if I can get a hand in and beat the snot outta him. Course this guy is good....I'd prob be the one to get beat.

 

[hotwings18]

daniel is a god

 

[Fokyernh]

Ive always wondered if Daniel actually played on pokerstars..
What name does he play under?
