Today, January 4, 2024, Daniel Negreanu wrote in his X/Twitter feed: I've been in poker for 30 years and throughout that time I've had several lightbulb moments
The latest, I shared in a VLOG from WSOP Paradise in Bahamas
I busted a small tourney and was going to do what everyone does and just rebuy... but I didn't really feel like playing and the $25k GG Millions was the next day
I always play If there is a rebuy available- I take it even if I don't feel like I have access to my A game I text @RadioAmanda that night and she said, "You know you never do any good when you don't feel like playing right?"
And it was like my poker career flashed before my eyes, searching for a time when I wasn't all there, but won anyway!
I didn't find it She was right I've always prided myself on just keeping at it and playing no matter what, but that isn't the best approach for me It isn't admirable- it's a leak
In order for me to win at the highest levels, I'm not going to out "GTO" the wizards- I need to be dialed in and just care. About every tourney I enter, every bullet I fire, every hand I play, every decision, on every street So I listened to her and went back to the room and got a good nights sleep
The next day I felt fresh and excited to play and I made a deep run in that one
So my commitment in 2024 is: QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
That means skipping events, getting past FOMO, and only showing up when I feel like a killer ready for battle I'm 49 now and I learn something new all the time and always plan to
I won late last night and today I recover on the couch and will play again when I NEED to play. When I can't WAIT to play
And not a moment sooner And I'm proud of myself because before this epiphany I'd be at the studio right now yawning and just going through the motions
In addition to the fact that there was no level, there were not many competent players, that was easier for the professional player, but now almost most of them join a poker school from the beginning to play at the highest level.
there is no doubt about it, negreanu has won a lot of money in the previous years and it gives him enough to live all his life, for sure we will see him in the high level tournaments, but I think he himself has already said that he will select the best tournaments.
It wasn't a poor one... I like Daniel Negranu as a person and in terms of his style of playing poker. Well, you don't always have a good run, sometimes there's a dowswing for everyone, even for professionals. Everyone has good and bad moments when it comes to poker. For us ordinary people, $2 million is a lot of money, but not necessarily for him... He will handle it calmly and will probably bounce back... I believe in him.
he himself said in his youtube channel that he was playing many tournaments and that he was not really selecting which one he should play, that's why he has had bad results, he is a great player, if not the best player.
a professional player can also play at low stakes, but he is used to high stakes, that's why he plays tournaments with high buy-in, even if many times they also play satellite tournaments. Such is the life of these players, but in cash the risk is even greater.
It is very difficult to be a high level player, to remain for long years is much more difficult, this player already has many years playing poker at the highest level, his advice is worth a lot, he is an example for everyone.
everything is a process, overnight you can't do it, in my case I have profits at the end of the month in poker, but that's not all, to become a high level winner you have to have other things more.
the gain that the high level players have is incomparable with the low level mortals, but they deserve it, they have had to sacrifice a lot of things for years to get to where they are.
this is poker and even the best professional players can have bad periods where they can lose money. I hope that Daniel wins something important this year and recovers his damage.
bad streaks are always present in any poker player, we must always be prepared to face those bad streaks that is something common in this game, we must always be prepared for it.
It takes a lot of courage to be able to share your results with your followers, not everyone talks about their results, this player is incredible that's why he is one of the best poker players in the world of high level, not only shares his victories but also his defeats.
unfortunately he is a more honest player and he made the mistake of revealing some of his strategies. The sharks saw that and this is a big mistake for him because is a great player, but the secrets don't have to be shown.
you are very right, there are things that can be revealed but there are others that can not, I think this player looks very prepared and I do not think he has revealed many things that will hurt him in the long run, he knows.
What does pele have to do here? you spam every day, you should comment on what the news says, and not be always changing and putting nonsense in the forum.
Daniel Negreanu is more appropriate to follow, than to enter in ugly the game of this member of BRM. He does this with all the members he hates. We must to talk about the threads and wish luck to this professional player, in the hope that he will recover his money and make a profit in 2024.
