Daniel Negreanu

Born in 1974 in Toronto, Daniel Negraneu is a young Canadian who started playing poker at the age of 15 and moved to Las Vegas to play poker full-time. In 1998, at 23, he became the youngest world championship event winner in history and also won the 97' Best all around player at Foxwoods, the 98' World Series Champion Pot Limit Hold'em, the 99' US Poker Champion, and won 12 tournaments over that span, more than any other player on the circuit. He lists his most respected poker players as Jennifer Harman for making it to the top of a 'man's' world, Allen Cunningham for his ability and table demeanor, and Ted Forrest and lists his favorite game as Pot-Limit Hold Em.
He now resides in Las Vegas, would like to find the right person and have a family, and if he could change anything in the poker world he would change the negative image of poker - "For society to see that it can be a healthy profession although it's not traditional. Get rid of all the bad apples, the cheats, the badmouths, the hot tempered, etc. If that happens, I can see poker being accepted more readily my mainstream society in the near future."

Hi Daniel, I really enjoy watching you play. I've seen your commercial where you're sitting on your couch with a laptop and you're using a mouse that looks like you just use one finger to work it. I've searched everywhere for that mouse and can't find it. Could you tell me where you got it and it's name? Thank you in advance for your time, I really appreciate it. Good Luck in the future and take care, Tabi

"talking alot" isn't the definition of a loud mouth. Hellmuth and Matusow are assholes at the table but negranue is rarely rude, if ever. And IMO he doesn' talk to get a read (even though he may say he does), I think he talks because he is a very social person.

jarrel
July 25, 2006
the most overrated player in the game. I give him credit for his reads but from what i can tell he doesnt have a real solid game. People probably make fun of Phil Hellmuth and Mike Matusow for their loud mouths but he also has a loud mouth. Players who needs to talk to their opponents just to get better read on them really sucks.

Good old Daniel....Daniel rung me up last evening to enquire whether I would be interested in going clubbing with him. Unfortunately, I had to decline due to previous made plans with Kathy Liebert (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). But I did inform Daniel that I am available on Tuesday for a night on the town. Daniel liked that very much saying, "Thanks friend Cat2, I can always count on you for an exciting night on the town." Yes, good old Daniel.....

wow a lot of canadian bashers on this site. have you ever been to canada? ever met a canadian? probably not. i am a canadian that used to live in the states and to be honest the only difference is that amaericans are a lot more arrogant and money hungry, canadians are more laid back. and i don't really see where the arrogance comes from, i've seen the southern states...yikes, talk about slack jawed yokels, not the brightest breed on earth. oh ya good luck with bush the next three years, thought you would have learned your lesson the first 4.

I think he is the one of the greatest poker players around. Why? he is smart and able to read almost every hand his opponents have. Just like one person earlier in comments. He is a sheep in wolf's clothing. But I disagree on him be a total sheep. He is both the wolf and the sheep. Sheep: being innocent, living life to the fullest, and enjoying everything it has. Wolf: cunning, agressive, a fighter when needed, enjoys family life, a person who loves you if he ends up loving you, a man who can be a great friend and more. That is Daniel Negreanu. He is all that and more. He is hilarious! He has this great charm. Innocent, yet undoubtly chilling. To the people who talk bad about his hair do. Just stop hating him. This is who he is. I don't think he hates Annie Duke. I don't think anyone should hate anyone. Just Dislike. He dislikes her and when I read his words on why he dislikes her I had to admit some of the things are plain true.He is the best poker player of his generation and will have great wins for many years to come.He is Canadian, and Romanian. But frankly I don't care about this issue.Daniel is a great player and to the that one person who called him a fag. Well go somewhere else and shush. I must admit Daniel Negreanu is FINE. under line three times. capitalize all letters.ok call that obsessed but he is fine, hot, or sexy. whatever you want to call him. HE IS THE BEST PLAYER OF POKER.!!!!!!! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!

I watched Daniel Negreanu beat Jerry Buss the other night by calling an 8diamond on the turn and a Jdiamond on the river, thereby solidifying his win with a diamond straight, queen high. I heard later that he was beaten by someone that was not expected to win. In any case, I believe he took that beat like a gentleman. One thing I've noticed about this particular message board that's different than the Phil Gordon message board on this site, Daniel has a LOT more negative comments than Phil. I am just wondering what is the "real deal" with Daniel? He seems like a very decent human being with a huge heart for the game. He has a joy and a child-like attitude that I find very refreshing. It makes no difference to me concerning his biological or geographic roots; Dan is what he is, and all he is is just a man. He's been blessed with some very nice talents, and I wish only the best with him. Have a great poker life, Daniel, I only hope to meet you someday when I move to Vegas! :) *goes back to dreaming of Phil Gordon...*

What a bunch of assholes! Who cares if Daniel Negreanu is Canadian, Roumanian, or maybe eventually even American. He could apply for citizenship some day. Will all you "American" creeps cry out as vociferously that he's not American? What is Arnold Schwarzenegger, besides being Governor of California? A German? Or a German-born American? The only TRUE Canadians and Americans are those of Indian (Navajo, Apache, Mohawk, etc.) or Eskimo descent. Everyone else...white, black, Asian etcetera are just 3rd, 2nd, or even first generation immigrants ...including all those of "Mayflower" descent!!!Wake up! A person born in the USA is an American. A person born in Canada is a Canadian, as is anyone who enters either of these two countries as an immigrant and becomes a citizen! To the everlasting shame of the USA and Canada, all true native peoples were robbed of their land and put on reservations....only recently have they even been given back a modicom of their rights by all the foreigners that rule these two countries.

Something else moronic and pointless by flush80. Daniel Negreanu is one of the best poker players and is still aproachable and a class act all the way. the love he shows his mom and the friendliness he displays combined with his impeccible play could make him an ambassador for poker in this revitalized atmosphere. As for him dating Ng... Wow You Go Daniel. But seriously in Card Players interview with him as Player Of The Year he expressed he wanted to find the right person and have a good life I for one am pretty sure he'll have no problem doing it. Hats off to Daniel. Best of luck at this years World Series and other events.

I think you are just jealous on Daniel Negreanu's success. I did not suggest that he is the perfect man.

It is easy to cover and say bad things about someone when no knows who you are.

iveyfan05 - if you knew anything about the romanian genetics you would know that romanians are much above average level of intelligence in the world. The environment has a great influence too but at his roots he is romanian.baccardi - you should keep your words in your mouth when you try to speak about romanians. You do not even dare to state your real name so watch your own "manhood". And try to read a little about romanian besides drinking habbits.

I do not understand why all the people are bragging about Daniel Negreanu being canadian. He was born in Toronto but his parents are both romanian. So he is romanian. That is why he is such a good poker player.I don't want to offend anyone but romanian people are far clever than the canadians. You can check it looking at the prizes they won at International Olympics for Informatics, Mathematics, Physics and even English international contests.

Daniel made Freddy Deeb look pretty bad at the last heads up battle they had, but then again he does that to most of the players he plays.

Dan is truely a talented player. His reads are precist, he always knows when he has the best hand. Most of the time when Daniel is in a pot, he knows what the other person has right down to the exact card, and if he doesnt know exactly he is extremely close. I hope to meet Daniel one day and I am looking forward to watching Daniel in the 05 world series, World poker tour, and on FSN. Daniel makes it look easy, but those of us who play know its not.

Seriously this guy is a fabulous player and highly entertaining to watch. Loved WSOP 04. Whats the point of dissing his hair and looks? Is that all the negative stuff you can come up with? I'm an 18 year old girl and besides respecting him greatly as a fellow player of the game I reckon he's also a bit of alright ;)As for him being a nerd as some of you say...I certainly hope so cause nerds/geeks etc ROCK.And thats my two cents :)

At the moment, the #1 overall tournament poker player in the world, taking all formats into account. Part of that has to do with the fact that he plays in almost -everything-, but he plays -and does well- in almost everything too. One of my favorite players.

daniel is the best in the game hands down, with winning wsop player of the month and now cardplayer's player of the year is enough to say that he is the man to beat. looking at the wins he's racked up and keeps racking it'll be something to watch as he continues to get better, you the man d.

Free speech is a wonderful thing taken advantage of by the ignorant sector of society. Thank you, Daniel, for having a site where we who love you can express our views as well. You make watching poker on tv very positive and entertaining. Not sure what your girlfriend or your mom have to do with it. LOL You are a great player and asset to the game. Would love to hear from you anytime. Anglfish

I'd let to say that Mr Negreanu is a credit to poker.Ive only got into poker since watching WPT on challenge (uk tv),and then read your articles in cardplayer which has helped me improve my game.I then discovered your website which has also been really helpful. Mr Negreanu is probably number1 player in the world right now and fully deserves his success,also from reading his journal that he keeps he also seems like a good bloke. Cheers Will

I guess daniel really is the best huh?

Just a comment from a while back about the WSOP guy who thought there were 4 burn cards and the guy who rubutted the statement. We know that all of the cards are random, but since we know the card we saw wasnt the right one the probability that the other one was correct is increased, take it as a conditional probability problem if you know what that means

Bibby, my guess is that one of the people he refers to is Gus Hansen. I've heard that Hansen regularly gets beat up in cash games. One more note on Daniel though. While I do enjoy his play it's starting to get old seeing him all over the place. His agent probably doesn't give a rats ass but Daniel is starting to be overexposed. People are going to start growing weary of that Canadian charm if you see him everytime you turn on a poker show (not as a player but as a commentator or 'advisor') or go to a poker web site.

September 10, 2005
Daniel is one of the best players today because of his table-smarts. He can analyze hands and players very well. Where he suffers, like many pros, is when he goes up against amatuers and unseasoned pros who do illogical things. He's the ying to Phil Hellmuth's yang. Phil is great at reading people too but when he misses a read, he self-destructs. When Daniel misses, he moves on. He is an outstanding player.

Hey sweete224... I am actually crushing on Layne Flack. Daniel is more out there and he has a really cool website. Daniel is engaged and I do wish him well on his marriage. My enthusiasm has lots to do with the game. I appreciate all players who play well. I play with a large group of players in Central Florida and I could easily rave about many of them, both male and female. I loved watching Annie Duke beat Phil Hellmuth (I talked about that one for weeks) and I like watching the Internet kids get to the final tables. However... I do think both Daniel and Layne are cuties... its just a fact. I am just the kind of woman who is more into the brain than the brawn.There are many great poker players out there that will never get the same kind of recognition that Daniel Negreanu gets and the main reason for that is Daniel has charisma. None of these post would be here if he didn't have that extra something. It's what makes him a poker star. John Juanda is an amazing player, he is very cool, calm and calculating. However, he does not generate the same amount of post that Daniel Negreanu (or Layne Flack) gets. The difference is that even though all of these people are professional poker players some of them are also poker stars. A poker star is someone you enjoy watching whether or not they are at the top of their game. A poker star is engaging, entertaining, charming, dramatic and you can't wait to watch them play. So am I crushing on them? Maybe. I think when it comes down to it, I am just a little bit starstruck.

Theresa/ theresa113
September 10, 2005
I absolutely love Daniel Negreanu. He is a little boy in wolf's clothing. He has this sweet innocent charm but he is so very skilled at the poker table. I have noticed how well he can read others and he is smart enough (most of the time) to know when to fold even with a very strong hand. I love his website [url]www.fullcontactpoker.com[/url]. I look forward to read his journal (it's always witty and amusing, even when he talks about video games) and I like that fact that he lets people in on his personal life as well as his poker life. I think he is one of the few (except for maybe Doyle Brunson) who reconizes that a good poker player needs stability in both their personal life and at the table. (Note to the Ladies... Check out on Daniel's site his photo gallery and the picture of Daniel with Layne Flack, it is photo number 6 under the category of poker friends. WOW! These two are hotties! Don't you think Daniel should make a poster out of that picture?)

Daniel is a very well rounded player. Quite possibly the best in the game. Did anybody see the tournament of champions episode he was in? He folded a 2 pair to Lederer's flush on the flop. That's pretty impressive, I'd say. I wouldn't be able to let that one go.

Hi all, I have only a couple of things to say. First, Daniel has a beautiful girlfriend! Er, at least he did in the last WSOP episode I watched the other day. She's an American of Asian decent, with short, black hair and a beautiful face. Her name was something like Lesley, but that's not it. Also, wasn't Daniel the WSOP Player of the Year? Something to that effect that he had the most points? I don't yet understand the "point" aspect of playing poker.

Great player, no debate. His writing is easy to read and he tells it like it is. His articles really explain the background of hands, the tournament, and the players. He talks objectively, even when he makes a mistake (or mistakes), while telling the story of his poker and his life: good and bad. You could do a lot worse than head off to his site ([url]www.fullcontactpoker.com[/url]) and read all of his articles from the earliest to the current. One of the best writers out there, as well as one of the best poker players too.

He's got a girlfriend now, someone he's apparently serious about.
