Jesus, Negreanu is running REALLY badly this year
 

With everything that happened to him at the WSOP and how his cash games are going (http://fullcontactpoker.com/poker-jo...amp;ucat=&) I wonder how he manages to remain tilt-free.

Seriously, being stuck a quarter of a million dollars after playing as well as possible = [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

That is not much in that game. In that blog entry he said most people bought in for $100K. So he lost 2.5 buy-ins in a no-limit game while getting his money in as a favorite. Happens all the time. He could continue to play well and lose another 20 buy-ins.

So when and where is this game going to be on TV?

Maybe he was just running REALLY well last year.

He won Cardplayer's Player of the year award and the similiar award for the WSOP.

Skilled player w/o a doubt, but he was certainly on a good run of cards.

The Big Game is mixed games most of which are limit, when they play NL there is a cap.

I think DN's losses aren't that big in that game, also I think most of us know what it's like to move to a new limit/game, there's an initiation period before you hit your comfort zone.

I do think it's exceptionally cool that he's posting all this in his blog.

P.S.
When I read the title of this thread I thought you were talking about two players and you had crappy grammar.

I think this one they are taping for TV is just NLHE.

That's what Daniel wrote in the blog.

Re: Jesus, Negreanu is running REALLY badly this year
 

Maybe this is better discussed in one of the strategy forums, but I don't really like Barry's call of daniel's check-raise all-in with the AcJx on the all club flop. He's getting 1.38-1, and is probably at LEAST a 2-1 dog against daniels range here. Lay it down barry.

I like this quote

".... I made it $2600 with the K-9 of clubs. Barry made it $10,000 behind me as he likes to do before the flop with weakish hands.... Barry... sent his money to the center with the Ac Jd"

So Short handed.. AJo is a weakish hand?

Although I think Barry's call is pretty bad. There is 30ish thousand in the middle before Daniel makes it 110 all-in. So 110 to call to win 140

110:140

Needs about 47% equity to call here, and after running the numbers, putting Daniel on a wide range of hands.. (77+/22-33+/Made flush)

Barry only has about a 40% equity against this hand range.

There's actually 40-ish in the pot. 10K from both PF + blinds and antes (negligible.. between 1 and 2K) + 10K from both post flop (Barry bet 10K, Daniel put in 10K to match plus 110 more). Still looks like a fold to me.

if all info is correct what's the deal with these top guys playing like the average party player.

Re: Jesus, Negreanu is running REALLY badly this year
 

You simply can't play like the average solid rock and expect to win anything at those stakes.

Let's say that the hand range you selected is about right. 110:140 tells me that Barry needs 44% to call, not 47 (110/250=.44). Also if there is in fact 40 grand plus already in the pot, then Barry only needs 110/261= .423 to make it an EV neutral call.

So he has about 40% vs needing at least 42.3% against DN's likely range of hands. Bad call? Only marginally, and then only if DN never bluffs with nothing. If he's bluffing here 5% of the time (or more) though ....

I'm not too positive, but this "Barry" guy and "Daniel" might have some sort of history of playing together. That could come into play. And they *might* think that they could run into each other again in the future. I don't know though. That might have some effect.

Re: Jesus, Negreanu is running REALLY badly this year
 

Wow, he says on his blog he just took a 447k hit on the second day of High Stakes Poker. I know he's loaded, but that's still gotta hurt.

Re: Jesus, Negreanu is running REALLY badly this year
 

That amount is so absurd to read I really don't know what to say.

I mean honestly, losing 15 years of my salary in one night just stymies me. Bigtime.
