cemo76 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hey Daniel, good luck in Barcelona it seems you have your game face on.Also I'd like to thank you for finally writing about some poker hands. I think the otherswould agree that getting into your mind and how you rationalize the hands and players is awesome.I know you are writing alot about your life but when you write about Poker and stradegy it makesit a whole lot better. ps. Do you remember the hands off the top of your head or are you continously writing these down?Take Care Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well I'm glad you liked it. As for what I write about, there is nothing I can do about a lack of strategy content when I'm on my post-WSOP vacation. Usually around August and late in December you won't be reading much about poker as I play very few hours during that time. When I'm on the road playing tournaments, well, then obviously I'll have something to write about. On that note, I'm going to write a blog now. Link to post Share on other sites

What did you think of their level of play, compared to the poker greats you hang out with? The players I talked to, like Jan Sjavik, said you played your small-ball strategy and raised it up with anything, allot of trash all the time with 2,5X Bb, so that is why he played so much with you in position. One time he also had KJ and you raised it up 2,5 with KK, and he was gonna call, but for some reason didn't, and the flop came K-J-x, so you would have busted him that hand if he didn't fold it.

I remember that hand and remember thinking how odd it was that he folded Kh Jh for just 2.5 times the blind. I did have KK and the flop was KJ. As for Norwegian players, unfortunately unless they tell me they are from Norway I'm never quite sure where they are from, whether it be Sweden, Denmark, Finland, or Norway.

Aces88 0 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Great to hear you are back on a strong inspirational poker flow ! Best way to annoy someone from Denmark, Finalnd or Norway. Ask them where them are from and when they tell you which country say with a serious face 'Which part of Sweden is that?'Lol yea, that could work in table tilt talking, and i bet i know alot about sweden but after living with some original americans indians and seeing the movie pathfinder my annoyance level have increased everytime i see the blue yellow hats in sports event...i mean wow its some past culture to be proud off eh..invading villages and destroy what they did build. sweden is like a lenin country in too many ways, america hating in the media and ironically still trying to be america with a communist politically based foundation. Thinking back on topics i don't feel positive about bush either, like using the 9/11 thing to get the power to push through all kinda issues he feels for, putting in the poker ban thing with the port bill security thing, now the taxstuff...25%? phone surveillance etc... One thing id love to see happen is the gaming thing grow,i grew up with NES and super mario wooa how it felt being 13 in 1987 playing zelda-metroid-punch out The Wii WC would be cool, for me im a sony boy now looking forward to games like Granturismo 5-Gta 4 and the sony Home community etc... with this new technology and possabillitys they should realise that its a market with "old" mature ppl that been here since the 80'ths. we should have the possabillitys to have tournaments in games like Gt5 with different $ buyin levels to add up the excitment and commitment playing against online competitors and it could easily be password protected...Im sure Bush and the general laws will ban that too for terrorist protection reasons or maybe he find a quote in the bible he can spin around like fox news spin free zone. Uhh, yeah, enough off my off topic rant, back ontopic, keep the inspirational poker hands flow for you DTho i have to end with sayingF*** Off with the F*C**** Wiking proud thing sweden and wake up with a coffe latte and realise sweden aint s~*T anyway. And white house Bushy boy you can take me off your friend list now.God bless Link to post Share on other sites
