Default Negraneau\'s hand gestures

I am becoming increasingly annoyed with Daniel Negraneau's hand gestures now that we've seen him twice this season. Yes, I know he's calculating pot odds and replaying the hand, but just what does the hand gesturing add? Surely he's bright enough to do it all in his head without pen and paper. His gesturing is like counting to ten using your fingers and toes.

Oh, heck, I didn't even notice the gesticulating.

I'm just becoming increasingly annoyed with Negreanu on his own merits.

It's a shame people like Negreanu can play poker so well.

Exactly, why is it a shame? He trys to promote poker in a very good way. Very very good for the game if you ask me.

Read his petulant takes on Annie Duke. A class individual just doesn't publish stuff like that.

For the record, I do not claim to be a class individual.

I have read those articles and agree those were tasteless. He should have kept those feelings to himself and not published them for the entire world to read.
Still, do you think he presents himself in a bad manner at the table, one that would not be good for poker?

Outstanding player, and that's what matters, but man he is just totally obnoxious and irritating whenever he's on TV.

I think Negreanu and Varkonyi have an ongoing battle over who is the most effiminate straight man in poker.

Yeah, well I like girly-men. I think looks-wise, Negreanu is hot.

His personality just annoys me.
