Daniel Negreanu - will you ever win again?

[ QUOTE ]
It's meaningless to post the amount a poker player has won in tournament play in order to show that he's a good tournament player? You're a bright one aren't you.

Oh wise one, you're right, Joe Hachem is the best tournament player in the world according to your great logic.

Now I bid you farewell, as I go talk to World Champions and tournament millionaires Robert Varkonyi and Chris Moneymaker for private poker lessons, so I can destroy Phil Ivey.

Moron.

See,there you go again refusing to use any independent thought. It's obvious to anyone with a relatively basic knowledge of poker and the WSOP that the bulk of Hachem's earnings are from one event. It's also obvious to anyone that knows a bit about poker that Negreanu's earnings are comprised of more than just one event and, in fact, he has been a professional for a decent amount of time. And if it weren't obvious...oh, lookey, you can click on their names and actually see what their tournament results look like. You're either lazy or dense.

I hope you're enjoying wasting my time as much I as am enjoying wasting your time. Your futile attempt at arguing is amusing!

I find it hilarious that you keep saying you're going to leave but you won't.

What is is it about 2+2ers and their inability to spot parody posters? Vince riles most of you up for like a year and you still bite.

And Phil Hellmuth is not even close to being the best?... Just look at his record. When it comes to NL Hold'em tournaments, Hellmuth is easily one of the best in history, despite how much the guy bitches on suckouts.

[/ QUOTE ] NLHE tournaments is 1 game out of many. He is a great player in NLHE tournaments. But as for other games and cash games, he's nothing special at all.

ANYONE WINNING A TOURNAMENT TAKES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF LUCK!!! EVERYONE WHO HAS WON A BIG TOURNAMENT HAS GOTTEN VERY VERY VERY LUCKY. YOU GUYS DONT REASON TOO WELL. AND THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WHO WIN TOURNAMENTS GET ENDORSEMENT DEALS AND BECOME FAMOUS ONLY BECAUSE THEY GOT LUCKY CARE THAT THEY ARE NOW FAMOUS BECAUSE OF PURE DUMB RANDOM LUCK? PEOPLE IN THE POKER BUSINESS NEED FACES AND NAMES TO PROMOTE POKER, FROM THE CASINOS, CARDPLAYER.COM, ONLINE POKER SITES, BOOK PUBLISHERS, ETc...ALL NEED FACES FOR POKER. AND THE PLAYERS SELF PROMOTE THEMSELVES TOO. IT'S [censored]. BUT WHO CARES? $ is THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY MATTERS. YOU KIDS NEED TO SMARTEN UP AND STOP POSTING ALL THESE DUMB THREADS.

But yet you always seems to find my posts. I seem to have a fan. How is it that you found my post in this category? Thank you for your continued support.

he could go a couple years on a bad run, that still wouldn't put any doubt that he will continue to dominate poker tournaments throughout his career.

ok, lets not get me wrong here, but he hasnt been focused on winning poker for around 7-9 months now. Instead its been side stunts and publicity to make more out of his new found fourtune in just his namesake. poker has been a side project not the main event in his life. I hope that it will change in the future but his mind is certainly not focused on poker. he is an incredible talented player but without focus even the best cant produce. for some reason he is still out in the public looking for either more money or more acceptance, but his focus is certainly no where near what a real professional of his calliber should be at(phil ivey's league which he certainly isnt even close to that sort of focus right now) in short , he has the talent but certainly not the desire he once had.


there should prabable be a paragragh in there somewher but I dont give a [censored] right now.

One of my main points of my post was to dispel the myth of the 'Poker Superstar'. I was using Daniel as just an example of what I was talking about.

What do people think about that myth?
