That's a terrible argument, since Joe Hachem is first on that list for winning ONE major tournament.

better argument?

He's done good in '05 placing 3rd in a 10K and 4th in a 20K tournament. This isn't chess your not going to see one player winning every tournament.

Re: Daniel Negreanu - will you ever win again?
 

In my opinion, Daniel has more pure poker talent than almost any player not named Phil Ivey. However, he has lost his focus and drive for poker and that explains his lack of results.

He will get it back eventually, I have no doubt. It may take a couple of years, and it may take him taking a break from the game for awhile to get that drive back.

With the commercial opportunities available to him, I just don't see him seriously focusing on playing poker like he used to for awhile.

Daniel is smart. He saw what Phil Hellmuth was doing in terms of marketing himself and exploring other money making opportunities. You can make much more money through creating and marketing your brand than playing poker. It's to be expected that his poker results would drop off ala Phil Hellmuth once he made that concentrated decision to switch his focus. In the long run, he will be a much richer man for it.

Thank you. Much better.

I wasn't disagreeing with the other poster's point of view, but his "evidence" was basically meaningless.

On this page, click on Daniel's name and look down his list of tournament results. 11-Dec-03: He takes 4th in a $2500 buy-in event and gets paid HOW MUCH? Somebody confirm that this is a typo.

Re: Daniel Negreanu - will you ever win again?
 

Threads like this are rediculous. He won two 10k+ buy-in events and took third in another in 2004. He was WSOP POY. What some of you saying about losing his focus may have some merit, but he was the best player in the world in 2004 as far as tourneys are concerned. When there are 400+ players in every tourney and you play a high variance style like Daniel, you will have bad stretches. Remember, he is not playing to sneak into the money, so that explains why so few cashes.

Re: Daniel Negreanu - will you ever win again?
 

bro check it out the guy above him got 33k and below him like 18k so im guessing its probably more like 20k huuuuuuuuup

Re: Daniel Negreanu - will you ever win again?
 

He's written some really good strategy stuff.

You're kidding right? You couldn't be bothered to click Negreanu's name yourself? Pathetic.

Re: Daniel Negreanu - will you ever win again?
 

Man what a loser, he hasn't won a major tournament in 364 days.
