Default Re: Negreanu now vs. 8 months ago... sad times.

it is funny that Negreanu seems to kind of passive-aggressively cut into others...

There are the 'math guys' who he speaks of with a condescending tone

There are the 'move-in specialists' (Juanda) who he seems to think aren't real poker players

There are the 'solid/book' players (Cloutier and the mass public) who play too tight and are easy to play against

-----------

I think Negreanu is a pretty likeable guy and he is clearly one of the premiere players in the world but we will have to see how he starts acting when bad variance comes back knocking on his door... he does seem a little insecure and seems susceptible to big emotional swings... let's see how he handles his new fame and ego when poker goes sour for a while... I think his true good character will shine but the jury is out.
