How can he be the best if he doesn't play 4-8k? I don't understand? I was told on here that you can only be the best if you play the highest limit. So i guess he's not the best.

Funny cause I have seen him playing that game at the Hustler more than once. Whats the point of responding if you have absolutey no clue what you are talking about?

The best poker player and the best limit hold'em player are 2 very different things. You are very obtuse.

if playing against one of the best in the world isn't easy playing with the bad luck he had is nearly impossible.

DN will probably end up losing a lot of money playing everyone in their best games.

Is Negreanu staked for these games by Wynn? That would make sense

[/ QUOTE ]

In the original thread on his own forum he said he stakes himself 100%

but he is PAID by Wynn!

how many times does this need to be said before someone understands that this means he is being staked a certain amount?!

That's not what a stake is. Negreanu is being paid by Wynn to be a "host". He's not in any way obligated to play these heads-up matches and Wynn doesn't get a share of the winnings. Wynn is not staking Negreanu.

Whoever your employer is doesn't stake your poker activities just because he pays you.

it's an in-direct stake - wynn is paying dan to be a host you say...which is true.

the difference is, he has no duties...he just needs to play there when not playing in a tournament. that's it. depending on what his salary is - dan can now come up with these challenges knowing that he's making an additional amount which could off-set his potential dis-advantages.

Reminds me of when I was a teenager, and the Kentucky Fried Chicken staked me in .25/.50 no-limit hold 'em. It took a lot of guts for them to do that.

Man, you are dumb. 15/30 player has no chance of beating a 4k/8k player. A 2k/k4 player does. Why is this so hard to understand?
