Daniel Negreanu leaves Pokerstars

[Pryakin D]

that's right after he got married...very strange

 

[manzanillo53]

I saw that, did he give a reason why. I mean a real reason, not a nice guy reason, like just need to pursue other interest or something like that. Just like to know if he has any issues with PS we should be aware of.

Here's an opinion piece from one of CardsChat contributors - although, there isn't an exact answer yet, Jon can give you some of his ideas.

CardsChat Poker Podcast: Why Did Daniel Negreanu Leave PokerStars?

 

[Aca0012]

Oh, that's possible! I'm sorry that he is the best player of all time for me and pokerstars will be weakened without him.

 

[demibar]

He is professional player and successful one ,he chooses what's best for him also pokerstars is a company who can replace him.

 

[dgroes]

I think Daniel leaving pokerstars is a good thing. They both have different ways of playing poker. The probability isn't involved the ethics is involved. Different attitudes of poker. Leaving the money to the Europeans and other third world countries is Pokerstars method. Daniel must think his fans want money. Needs them to break off Pokerstars and go for it on ACR and Betonline and some other site. Like thier big three. Partypoker, Fulltilt and Pokerstars.

Last time i checked Fulltilt went broke and they were bought by Pokerstars... so they are one. am I wrong?

I think he chose to take care of his new family now, as he himself said, will make some babies and will continue to play wsop. Surely he promoted the game a lot.

 

[sergo1203]

probably it is very sad for someone ..... I do not deny that this is a successful and very extraordinary player. but I have no idols !! Successes him in further and personal life! that's all i can say ...

 

[dregan]

Very sorry. I liked not so much his game as his behavior at the table.His conversations and jokes will be lacking.

 

[kientek]

-

he was my greatest player :/

 

[TheGenera1]

Maybe now they'll be able to afford to lower the rake back down again.

 

[molokheia]

in last few years majority of pros left Stars because PS is no more PS we knew... but there is a question posted above Why does it matter if he is at Stars or not?

Hi There
Whats the diff between old and new pokerstar?
Just want to know
Rgds

Not sure it was a great move for either one of them. He's been synonymous with Pokerstars forever and does a great job representing them. Makes a lot of late runs in big tourneys and is generally very entertaining. Curious to see if the real reason ever gets out - maybe PS cut his compensation?

 

[MikeCarasone]

I am shocked to see him leave stars. Obviously moving on to focus on family etc is great for him. But walking away from likely the highest poker deal must’ve been hard to do, no matter how much money he has. Wish him well. Even if he thinks rake is good. [emoji23]

 

[prizzy711]

Retiring? Like polk....

 

[Dorugremon]

Does this mean that more rake isn't better?

 

[magik9118]

It s a New start for him maybe!

 

[Inequitas]

Lol [emoji16] I bet money that Daniel goes over to Party Poker...

 

[dzemer]

He leaves PokerStars not poker. We will hear about him sooner or later

 

[Maurits92]

Daniel has done many great things for poker. I've always enjoyed watching his vlogs, twitter feed and following him as a player. I will continue doing so.

On the other hand there's PokerStars involved and I feel like they have been going downhill recently, or at least taking a different road. Releasing many of their TeamPRO players. Maybe it's just fresh air, but it will be interested to see where they're going.

 

[Poker Orifice]

Lol [emoji16] I bet money that Daniel goes over to Party Poker...

How much? And by what date?

I'm interested in taking this bet! Can we set up a time (under / over)... and an escrow for funds?

Just a small bet is good enough.

 

[iwont20]

That's the end of an era! What will Pokerstars be doing now without their biggest advocate in the poker community Relying solely on the goodwill?

 

[xy23]

PartyPokers gonna overtake Pokerstars

 

[Darth_Moola]

PartyPoker is taking over. If only they could get the US back then they would dominate.

It seems that the way is this. Look, the proposal will have to be very good, even because everything is very recent.

In expectation for a great news that may arise at any time.
