Re: anyone see this? DN lays down KK preflop..

What is a novice player to Daniel Negreanu? I certainly would be, since Ive never played a big tourney. I did the "reverse" on my first live tourney. I stared the guy down when I had a big hand to act like I was weak. You have to play the player not generalities.

I would think that he has some conception of what a "novice" is in absolute terms; it'd be pretty silly if he wrote articles on the web for a large and varied audience while defining "novice" as "anyone who is worse than Daniel Negreanu."
And when you don't know anything about the player specifically, you can't play the player by definition - you have to play generalities. It is much more likely that when a novice player says "you'd better fold, my hand is unbeatable", he is weak than that he is strong.
If I knew basically nothing about someone, I'd assume that the usual "weak means strong, strong means weak" applies to him until I'm shown otherwise.
