Nitro 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Daniel's my top favorite because he indirectly got me into poker. A few years ago, I flipped on the TV and poker was on. Daniel was playing and he called out (I think it was) Freddy Deeb's hand and he was right. I couldn't believe how anyone could know that. From then on I started watching every poker show known to man. After that I started playing it and i've been rooting Daniel on ever since. Link to post Share on other sites

gkunit20 1 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Not much of a personality man, but he is well known and must have some skills So, did you just start playing poker? Ted Forrest is considered by many of the top pros, including DN to be in the Top10, if not top 5 around today. The reason he hasn't done as well in tournies lately is becuase his game is limit stud ring style.They guy took andy beal for nearly 4 milion in one sitting. He's got a little more than some skills.And anyone who can run a marathon in 110 degree weather deserves respect. Link to post Share on other sites

theresa113 0 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I wrote this last February... I got flame for it then, probably will again, but hey... I think it is good. 10 Reasons why Daniel Negreanu is the Best Poker Player Ever! 10. Daniel is always willing to think outside of the box. This type of thinking is displayed not only his in poker game but also in business. Daniel ventures into arrangements that are different from his counterparts instead of following the path of others before. Though he has seen mixed success, he is blazing new trails. Expect to one day see something quite revolutionary with Daniel in its association. 9. Daniel could easily be a fashion icon. Secure in his masculinity, Daniel is willing to take fashion risk with his clothing. You will see him wearing bold colors like orange, soft colors like pink or don the sophistication of all black. He keeps up with current trends while adding his own style to the mix. He has evolved from the “kid” attire of hockey jerseys to wearing expertly tailored Armani suits. 8. Daniel is good to his fans. Look out on his website or out on the web and you will see lots of fans posting pictures that they have taken with Daniel. There are stories of Daniel spending precious minutes chatting with his fans. Daniel is the only pro I know of who has created contest to where the winners get flown to Las Vegas and hang out with him at his house! 7. Daniel has Moxie! When I first joined Daniel’s forum, one of his members told me a story about Daniel several years ago before he became a big pro. The forum member was playing at the Bellagio and Daniel was standing behind the table watching. The forum member excused himself to go to the bathroom. Daniel asked him if he could play for him. They guy said sure, not thinking that Daniel was serious. Anyway, the bathroom guy comes back in shock to see Daniel sitting in his seat playing with his stack. The guys shock turned into a pleasant surprise when he saw that in that short time Daniel had more than doubled his stack. (Just a note… I have never been able to verify this story but it does sound like the real thing.) 6. Daniel is a funny man. Don’t believe me, read his blog. Daniel has told tales of airport mishaps and buying leather jackets from the back of a car that will keep you in stitches. He does a great Ali G. impression. Watch him on TV and observe his quick wit. Daniel would probably see as much success as a stand up comic as he has seen with being a professional poker player. 5. He is generous. Daniel gives to his fans but he gives to others as well. You will not see Daniel bragging about who or what he gives to but others have commented on his generosity. He takes care of his family. He has also helped many of his friends who have run into trouble. The way Daniel writes about his friends and family you can tell he is the kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. How refreshing! 4. Daniel speaks his mind. Daniel will talk about business, religion, sports, politics and social mores with passion and without censorship. When Daniel has an opinion, he is not shy to share it. However, Daniel also appears to have a very open mind as well. He responds quickly to issues that affect poker players and gets his facts together before finalizing his thoughts. Daniel is a great debater and negotiator. 3. "Behind every great man is a great woman". Well, Daniel has 2 great women behind him, his mother and his beautiful wife Lori. Daniel has stated many times that he is who he is because of his great up bringing. You can watch Mrs. Negreanu on the edge of her seat watching Daniel in tournaments. View pictures of Daniel and Lori and you can see a deep love that glows between them. Lori’s beauty is more than skin deep. Daniel has given her credit for being the one to help him focus and she has given him an anchor. 2. The results speak for themselves. Daniel was Player of the Year in 2004. However, it is not Daniel’s wins that necessarily makes him the best player out there but it is also his losses. Watch the WSOP main event and you will see a man who can read every player at the table. A person who can make tough lay downs and is will to take the “right” risk as well. When cards are not running his way, Daniel keeps a positive spirit. Daniel has made a great start for 2006 by winning the event in Tunica. Daniel will continue his success at poker tables everywhere. 1. He created and started a href="."/">www.fullcontactpoker.com forums. Daniel’s influence is what makes FCP forums the best out on the web. He post on there frequently and keeps his fans aware of his whereabouts. He voices his opinions and shares his ideas. He created an environment where individual posters have emerged as characters with lots of popularity but at the same time, while perusing through the site, you get a strong feeling of community. He chose great administrators to design and formulate the site which is easy to use and is inviting to new members. Daniel also chose moderators who were already a strong presence on the site with unique styles and attributes. Daniel is Full Contact Poker. Link to post Share on other sites
