Daniel Negreanu’s Weak River Calls
Monday, April 14th, 2008
Went into a discussion with a poker friend of mine. We discussed some of Daniel’s weak calls on the river in various High Stakes Poker seasons, and we pretty much broke it down to these factors:
- Daniel Negreanu did not want to get bluffed on national television.
- Daniel flopped a lot of hands, got beaten a lot times — and couldn’t believe it kept happening.
- Daniel wanted information. He was paying for information (a lot of cash, though).
- Daniel was steaming.
I’m afraid most of it was 2 and 4 — and 50% was cold deck as well. Whatever it was, we both agreed on some of the calls being bad.
Then again — if I was dealt his cards against those opponents (I mean can you fold a straight to Sam Farha?) good chance I would have busted. Meh.
