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.

Video is part of the stacked dvd and I’m not sure if these videos were added to YouTube with permission. Thing is, they’ve been up for over a year so I’m sure Daniel doesn’t really mind too much, or he would have asked them to be taken down, right?

Anyway — excellently played, didn’t put any more chips in after the flop. Talk about missing value bets by Ryan McClean.

Phil Hellmuth talks too much. Bleh.

I’m not dissing Phil, as Phil usually doesn’t make donkey rivercalls like this… Oh well, Daniel made some money in the hand so that’s always good to see.

Anyway, a decent read is on the twoplustwo-forums, a BIG chunk of text — but you should go over all of it. It’s entertaining, disturbing — but with an obvious conclusion. Enjoy!

The Poker talk is limited, but there is SOME.

My friend’s point: “Erick is the man”.

Good point. When I brought up the reading capabilities — my friend tackled that by saying: “if you yell other peoeples hands out loud 50% of the hands, you’re about to strike lucky”.

I guess he has a point right there — but still. ERICK LINDGREN? YOUGOTTOBEKIDDINGME!!

I mean, you start believing Mike The Mouth when he says he’s the poker player with the worst luck.

Both vids are painful — enjoy.

(look at Jamie Gold checking out the action, lol!)
