2nd Interview with Dan Negreanu

CCAdmin · Mar 1, 2007

Hey guys,

We're doing another interview with Dan the Man and we want to use your input for the questions.

So, fire away, keep them sensible and make them as decent as possible. Let's really pick his brains

dj11 · Mar 1, 2007

How many days a week would you guestimate you got your 'A' game on? And, do you play every day?

k

ask him if he can adopt me?

no seriously ask him how he gets through his downslope's in poker. I mean during 2005 wsop main event (I think that was the year) he was playing perfect poker and just kept getting outdrawn over and over. How does he keep a cool head and continue to play top poker like he does?

also ask him about his reads, he dosen't seem like he use's visual tells but more of a feeling he has? is this true or does he use visual tells alot?

me 2 cents.

It's a notorious and recurring question on poker forums and a ludicrous setup but anyway.. .. it's the first hand of the WSOP main event and you've got AA on the BB. Everyone else goes all-in. What do you do and why? If you fold, what the maximum number of all-ins in front of you that you would call?

Lo-Dog · Mar 1, 2007

What are your thoughts on fancy play syndrome?

It seems to me that a lot of people try to get too fancy with their play when more straightforward play (betting for value etc) will get the job done. I know you have to mix up your play and make different moves at times but it seems many people are making these huge bluffs and traps (that can easily fail as much as they win) that only seem to increase volitility and not profit.

Dont get me wrong, I like to set a good trap as much as the next guy but I think a lot of people are making moves just for the sake of making a move.

My Question>> i saw you teaching a guy from Florida named Rob , his wife is Amber, this was on the reality channel,, you almost quit teaching him because he wasnt doing what you taught him,,>> If you teach someone to play poker, do they have to go strictly by your rules????<<< buck

Is there anyone that you play against that just seems to have your number or have you pegged every time and visaversa?

There are so many good players out there what is the major difference between the good players and the great players?

When did you realize that you had what it takes to play poker professionally and what made you come to that realization?

1. We posed the question of the absolute dream WSOP Main Event Final Table to watch, or play in, for our CC members. What would be your choices, if you could pick a dream final table to play with/watch, for the final 9 players of the Main Event at the WSOP, who would the final 9 of your fantasy final table be and what would be your the reasons for wanting to play with them or see them play?

2. When did you first start to play poker seriously, and what was your bankroll when you first began?

How annoying was it to tutor the boston rob guy from survivor?

What's the most you've ever lost on a prop bet?

What's your favorite breakfast food?

If you were big enough & good enough to play hockey professionally, would you quit poker?

Do you pay people to do outrageous (things that would make the people on jackass vomit) things? Seriously. I do anything for money/laughs.

smells_flushy · Mar 1, 2007

What did he give up on the pursuit of being a poker champion?

t1riel · Mar 1, 2007

What hand do you feel is overrated?

smd173 · Mar 2, 2007

What is his golf handicap down to?

How many people does he think will play in the Main Event this year since alot of the online rooms have shut out US players?

Coke or Pepsi?

Who will win the Stanley Cup this year?

Jack Daniels · Mar 2, 2007

1. If you could do it all over again would you still call Gus Hansen with your quads?

2. We're having an article writing contest, would you consider writing an article (even a short one) for the forum?

3. What do you really think of the movie "Rounders". Is it really all that and a bag of chips (ha, lol, no pun intended)?

withawedge · Mar 2, 2007

1) Who do you class as your hardest opponent

2) Has getting married changed your poker play in anyway

3) Nick, get DN to send you a signed hockey shirt. We could use it as a prize in a comp
