Default Re: Negreanu v.s. Williams, heads up

I agree. I didn't think he was really slow rolling and I felt that Williams comment was out of line. I think Daniel wanted to make sure that Williams was all-in and he was especially excited to probably win his first WPT event (wasn't this his first one?).

I agree that Daniel got lucky with the QQ vs A2 hand, but I think they all got a bit carried away with the ultra-aggressive play (Josh too). Now I realize that they didn't show all of the hands (think about how Daniel doubles up and gets pretty close after the QQ vs A2 hand but then a few minutes later it's clear that he's way behind again) but it seemed to get pretty predictable that if you did catch a hand or good flop that you would get paid off pretty quickly.

I played with him at the 2.5k event at the LA Poker Classic and was a bit surprised how aggressive he was. He really doesn't slow down, at least not that day. Obviously it works for him, but he makes Gus Hanson look like a tight player!
