Micon Greater Than Negreanu?

[MikeR 0]

These guys should be arch-enemies, they are similar but different. Two young guns in the pro poker world. Both with their own forums.PersonalityMicon wins this one. Not that it's a big criticism of Negreanu per se, but Micon pretty much outshines most people in the personality department. He's been described as the "energy in the room".Poker skillsThis is hard to judge just going by tourney results and whatnot, I know Daniel had a good run a few years ago, but I know for a fact that Micon is the better cash game player. I remember someone telling me they had overheard Todd Brunson and Eskimo Clark discussing how when Daniel was doing his 100k headsup challenges that he refused to Play Micon. Also supposedly Micon took Johnny Chan for like 200k in Atlantic city a few years, and most of your big game type players will not play with Micon.StylePretty close, but again Micon wins. While Negreanu's street urban attire was popular for a little while, Micon has his own distinct style. Hawain pattern shirts and the sweatsuedo can not be dated, so he will never look like he was stuck in one time period. Also, this is not a knock on Negreanu, but Micon's hair looks cooler obv., and Negreanu will eventually have to come to terms with his "situation" up there.Poker ForumNow I don't really post too much in FCP or Neverwinpoker.com, but I have to admit NWP seems way ahead, no offense to the mods here or anything. NWP is the only uncensored poker forum in existance, where you can pretty much speak your mind without fear of bannings. Also the NWP brand and logo is way more recognizable than FCP. NWP is also frequented by this generation's greatest players. Micon, Tony G, WSOP bracelet winner Dan Druff, Dustin Woolfe, and Macon Marc.

I've got quotes to back that up. And if you remember the 2006 wsop the cameras loved him, he was doing the thriller dance, and laughing and joking the whole time.

Yup, and we all know how everyone loves Michael Jackson for doing the thriller dance. This is a joke right?Negreanu has the best style of all the well known poker pros, while Micon is just loud and incoherent. When Micon wins a few bracelets, WPT events and gets unstuck 1 million dollars in one season of HSP, I'll listen to your ramblings.

No, Micon is a winning player. According to the cash game specialists, he is actually one of the biggest cash game winners not playing in the big game regularly.

Micon is that you?I actually was getting him confused with another little punk. He has a long way to go before he catches DN.

How could you seriously compare DN with Micon??!?!!? Hahahahahaah!

yea sure, if having a million 12 year olds making homophobic jokes is your sort of thing.

You do realise why that statement is absurd when comparing him to Negreany, right? Again, no disrespect intended, there's nothing wrong with certain lifestyles, but I think it was Phil Ivey who said that Daniel treats Vegas as one big closet.

[Mercury69 3]

POTD, hands down.Micon prefers to be called "The Micon". Don't screw that up or he'll bust out his patented str8 flush from nothing move. Gottalove a site that features not one, but several loudmouths, not to mention the inestimable founder, Dustin Woolf, degenerate lying cheat that he's been made out to be. Bad press, only bad press, I'm sure. History will tell the true tale of these brave men who went against the grain to endear themselves to a great many people, most of whom are fictional.

I personally stopped reading here. Well, not reading, since it's funny, but actually thinking this guy was gonna be remotely taken seriously.

[Dogpatch 2]

I just can't believe any player would say "I won't play Micon". And if he's so great, why isn't he playing the Big Game? It doesn't make sense.As far as greater than Daniel? I don't care.

That would be Mike McDermott from Rounders.

LOL can't take this guy seriously.Daniel obviously has one of the best personalities in poker, look at Cardplayer.com, Negreanu is consistently in the top of the top viewed players, even when he hasnt made any recent final tablesOn cash games, Im pretty sure Negreanu has taken 200,000 off of people multiple times, OP has only one account of Micon supposedly winning 200K. Other than that since you only have heard of how good Micon is, you dont actually know how good he is, you have to go for Negreanu based on his results. Micon has been on TV once, and Negreanu has made multiple TV final tables.And my last point, there are people who don't even play poker who know Negreanu, I'm sure there are a ton of poker players who have never heard of Micon.

lol...How long before a Euro Rounders quote?
