Daniel Negreanu is now 1st a businessman, 2nd a poker player

[Oilcan]

I just finished watching a 1 hr interview on Score here in Canada with Daniel Negreanu.

I am disappointed. He is all business now, and I don't mean by his approach to playing or tourneys.

He must be a highly paid employee of wynn ltd, for the new casino, he plugged it 3 times in the hour, mentioning no other places in LV.

But what bothered me even more was when a person called in a question about where would be a good place to play on the internet, what places did Dan mention?.

ONLY ONE!..POKER MOUNTAIN!.

He could have said there are many choices and mentioned briefly Party, Pokerstars, and Paradise, then closed by saying how "great" Poker Mountain is...(lying of course), but he gave no such info to the caller.

He also talked about the coming software game stacked, his dvd's and the book he was writing.

It almost felt like..like..an infomercial.

To be fair, he had to answer some basic lame questions that were coming in, that might have helped some callers, but overall it was a giant +EV program for him.

Is this what happens when you get really wealthy and famous?
You can't stop making +EV "moves" for more money?.
