Black Deuces - Poker Blog

While searching some movies for my new “Why I love Daniel Negreanu”-post I came across this awesome interview.

In part one Daniel talks about his teenage years, his first bracelet, his rise as a professional poker player and tells a very funny story about McDonalds and Evelyne Ng.

In part two he talks about his miracle year 2004, his religious beliefs (yep) and the difference between live and online poker (AND a funny impression of an internet kid -lol).

Great interview indeed.

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.
