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:

  1. Daniel Negreanu did not want to get bluffed on national television.
  2. Daniel flopped a lot of hands, got beaten a lot times — and couldn’t believe it kept happening.
  3. Daniel wanted information. He was paying for information (a lot of cash, though).
  4.  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.

He did bet the turn, but not enough — he could have known Sammy was drawing, seeing as he bets everything…

Excellent fold though, on the river. :)
