Negreanu buys in for 125k in a 5/10NL game?

Wait for a big hand, get all in, double up. Leave.

5/5 up usually isn't as far as I know

In my opinion that journal entry made him look like a nit.

"Look at me... I'm filthy rich and can buy into a baby no limit game for $125k!"

Good for you.

5/10NL is hardly a baby NL game. If I recall, it's the biggest NL regularly spread at the Wynn. Additionally, as it is uncapped and at the Wynn it plays bigger than a normal, capped 5/10NL.

It actually made me wonder if he took up drinking again. After all buying in for ridiculous amounts probably sounds good after lots of drinks.

how did he fit 125K in his pocket?

For a guy who buys in for $125k it is.

Everyone is such a Daniel hater. It's funny what jealousy does to people.

I like him a lot. I just don't like what he did.

As Yarney pointed out, for a pro tourney player who works for the Wynn, it's the best game in town.

It was an amusing post but very nitty. This makes me wish that NL game had a cap so you don't have a table captain turn into a table bully.

Uncapped NL games are one of several reasons why I will play mostly at the Wynn in the future. I view them as a huge advantage because when stacks get deep, I play much better than most opponents.

If he didn't buyin for 125k then no one would be talking about it and thinking about going down there to play w/ him. It sounds like a publicity stunt
