Default Re: Negreanu, the next Bobby Baldwin?

I am probably splitting hairs here... but I don't think any single players contribution to poker growth the last three years is "significant" in comparison to the contribution of the production of WSOP by ESPN or the WPT.

Certainly the players are part of those productions, but it would not really matter if it was Daniel, Phil H, and Gus or Tom, Dick, and Harry in those telecasts. The producers do a great job of creating storylines for each show and can make a "star" out of anyone at anytime.

That said, I agree Daniel is a likeable fellow and I would never wish him anything but continued success.

Regarding OP question. I would be shocked if Daniel's career follows Baldwin's all that closely.

Though likeable and engaging, Daniel seems too naive and uneducated in his writings for him to be able to be an important decision maker in a big business - as I understand Baldwin is. Poker Ambassador, a purely public relations position, sounds about right for him.
