Why I love Daniel Negreanu pt. 1
Let’s talk a bit about my favourite pro-poker player Daniel Negreanu. Not only is he arguably the best all-around poker player at the moment, he also seems like a very likeable person.
One of the things Negreanu is most famous for is his ability to read his opponents. I’ll let Youtube do the talking here:
Legendary. “You know what I think he’s got? ACES.” Mr. Negreanu sir, you are a genius.
Another great feat Daniel has mastered, is the table talk. In the previous example his “ACES” banter confused his opponent and as a result Daniel got two free cards! Another example of his talking skills:
First he figured out Sam Farha was weak and secondly he convinced Sammy he had a king. Very nice.
Next time we’ll talk about Negreanu’s humor and impressions, and his own poker blog.
