Last week, Tony G asked his Twitter followers to ask him questions about poker and other stuff. Yesterday Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu followed in Tony G's footsteps during a flight, somewhere in the world. However, Daniel Negreanu didn't answer as many questions as Tony G.

He answered all of these questions so directly and simple that this shouldn’t have helped him that much to pass time on the plain. It’s interesting to see how a such wealthy person with high cultural level never visited Greece, I guess he still haven’t had time for that trip. And admitting he will adopt the Agassi hair style is awesome, he’s just making a prediction on how long will last his hair, that should be more like it.

I love his predictions about what hand his opponent has.. you can see several of them on youtube... my favorite poker videos on youtube together with bad beats which he got in one tv show (I dont remember the name right now)
He's managed to keep to himself and not allow his successes to go to his head. Like him because he remains a regular guy. He's a very good pool player as well and although it won't happen would like to shoot stick with him some day. His book is very good as well, he not only describes his own style of play as each chapter is written by a different pro which gives great insight to the other playing styles out there. Helped me recognize when I'm up against them and how to adapt.

Negreanu is my absolute favorite player. I am sure it has something to do with the fact that we are BOTH Canadian I also find him to be a truly class act when he plays and love to watch him put his competitor on a hand. He is most often right about what the other guy has. Daniel is just the real deal and I truly enjoyed watching him play and joke around with the God Father of poker on TV. Wish Doyle all the best with his new battle with cancer.

The more I read about this guy the more I grow to like him. Seem's logical, down to earth and speaks without arogance which is hard to find in people that have fortune and fame. Also, shows a lot of respect to fellow players except when he's playing them lol
Sorry, I absolutely cannot stand the bloke. He is so god damn irritating its unreal. That stupid laugh of his winds the crap out of me.
What really winds me up is how he someone is deemed to be a master at reading peoples hands. Just look on youtube at most of the so called "genius reads".
In one the player re-raises him pre flop then bets after the flop. He is there giving it "you've got aces".. Well any blind fool can see that.. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that a player playing his hand so strongly has the best hand in poker.
Then theres hands lwhere he's hit a straight on the river but theres three diamonds showing and his opponent three bets him on the river. He then sits there making out he's making a monster lay down.. A FLUSH SHOWING AND ITS SOMEHOW A MONSTER LAYDOWN.. DO ME A FAVOUR.
