Daniel, will you marry me? I don't have much money, but I cook sooo good (vegan), I can teach you how to speak Latin and I can be your poker wife and we'll be Beyonce and Jay-z of poker. After you teach me how to play better.
Great videos! Please continue to post stuff like this. You're a legend for sharing some of your knowledge with fans who strive to be half the player you are!
I think that whole "chicken thing" was one of the hardest techniques, and pivital, for me to learn for multiple reasons in my young poker career. This year's goal is simply bankroll management. I can get rich making videos on what not to do. .lol. Besides that, pray me in, and stand strong. Much luv D! God Bless!
3x in cash games is my opening raise, mostly. 2.3x in tournaments, mostly. Depends of my position and characteristics I think B, SB and BB have, and of effective stack sizes; so it can vary like a little bit smaller or/and significantly higher. Talk about 3-, 4-bet ranges and sizes Daniel, that's what I would like to hear from you ☺
For me it is really something different when you play in a "real" tournament. First of all you can see your opponent. You can try to read them, in tournaments with a cheaper buy-in it really matters cause there are a lot of amateurs who dont know how to act when they actually sit at the table. And, I dont know if its just me, bit I feel like I have better control over my stack when I play in rl. When I play online I often dont even realize how much I actually have/how low my stack is because its just a small window showing how much you have. When you have an actual stack sitting in front of you you can keep it under control easier. But the most important thing for me: its way more fun playing against people you can talk to face to face, make some jokes and just talk about different stuff when there is a break or something.
Nathan Young absolutely is different imo. just seeing your opponent face to face and physically holding chips to me is just an awesome, and exciting feeling. I honestly can't not stand online poker (being 22) I just never got into it so I'm being a bit biased haha. it's hard to put in words but there's just a more "Genuine" feeling. for lack of a better word . guess you'd just have to play to really understand or get a personal opinion lol
I tend to keep my pre flop raises low but one hand I had kings on the button the small blind calls and the flop goes q 9 7 rainbow he checks I raise about 2/3 the pot so about 6,000 then he raises 60,000 which is 90 percent of my stack and half of his what do you do ? Anyone feel free to answer
F&S Reacts depends on how many chips you have behind. If you're confident your ahead of him snap him off, if not then lay the hand. Think of what beats you there aces or a set. Do you put him on a big hand pre flop. My pick would be he wants the pot with his ace queen. So snap him off
I've been playing tournaments for past month; been playing Hold Em since start of 2024. I've three firsts; a few final tables; and my biggest win was recently a $965 3rd place finish in a 1277 player tournament. Overall, I wasn't in profit until I started playing tournaments. Now I have made back all losses from SNG/Cash games +$400 profit. My biggest loss streaks come from raising too small. It's better to raise larger; like Daniel said. Each and every time I have an extended loss streak; I bet smaller and smaller; making the streak worse and worse; until finally I snap; go all in more often, bet larger....and somehow when I snap; I place my best...because big bets are better. Small bets don't get draw hands off their hands.
There are so many nuances to tournament hold 'em. I always try to think, "What am I trying to accomplish with my raise?" Sometimes I like to put in a small raise pre flop with marginal hands in middle position that I want to see a flop with -- like 97 suited -- and I don't want to limp and get blown off the hand before I see a flop. There's a million different reasons to raise and how much you put in greatly influences how the hand can play out.
this is crazy ive been watching you play live poker on youtube for years and now you have made a youtube channel. one question Daniel i saw you on millionaires match maker but nothing came of it, when you going to settle down? whos the lucky girl if you could choose?
Daniel Negreanu cheers for the reply made a guy very happy as you have been my idol for many years... back on topic, good to hear mate because your getting to that age where we should be expecting a baby daniel haha
You talk a lot about frequency in the analysis of your play. Could you possibly make a video explaining the frequency range a player should pick in certain situations to maximize winnings? Some general rule of thumb would make a world of difference in my ability to apply this concept.
He never said avoid post flop improvement. He obviously thinks it is alot easier to improve your bet sizing than post flopplY. There are so many strategies for post flop play in different positions against different players in different scenarios that ya that is going to be the hardest to improve overall. He never said learning one is better than the other. He is offering a fast way to improve your game if there was a bet sizing hole in it.
remember on the big game you kept raising Abe Mosseri bb to 1500. he said to you everyone else's blind you raise to 12 but mine is 1500. and you said I'll explain it to you later. and he was playing the most hands throughout the week too. now I get it
Hey Daniel, how do you handle straddlers? Playing cash games, I went against a very aggressive opponent using straddling, he would raise 5 times no matter what and then just kept firing both barrels after the flop. It did well, obviously once he gets caught then he will lose lots, but he was dominating the table. Would really enjoy your POV and well do you even straddle?
I have a good question Daniel. In a cash game. 1-2 no limit. The table has been playing a typical $8-12 preflop raise(because ppl generally play 1-2 like 2-4). Anyways, I crazy player sits down and starts raising $28 minimum. And the table loosens way up. And the typical preflop for every other player becomes $20. Should I start thinking of this game as a 2-5 or 5-10 game?
just wanna point out dnegs logic of "getting in there first" aint always the greatest with hands like AJo as u remove villains opportunity to 4b bluffshove with hands like A4s etc. Granted, standard is to 3b ship 20bb vs btn open, but defo something to consider.
Hey Daniel (or anyone else reading these comments), I'm looking to learn non-Hold'em games (Omaha, Stud, etc.) but I can't seem to find anyone interested, either online or live. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi Daniel.. I have been playing since 2003 when I first read your book I thought small ball was the most ridiculous approach to poker. All these years later I find myself basically playing small ball and crushing it.
Daniel thank you, you have simplified the game for me small ball has been great for me thank you i look forward to meeting you one day 21 next year vegas here i come
this tip hit home quite a bit. seems my small raises lets to many 6-8 or 7-9 type hands in and i just dont get away when when i have top pair top kicker.
Nice helpful tips Daniel! Maybe it´s too deep in details, but if there is a „sticky“ opponent on the button, he tends to call all kind of garbage hands, just because of the position right? Especially in early levels of a tourney, because everyone is still so deep stacked. Know that from low-buy-in tourneys, but is that the same in high or high roller buy-in tourneys too?
Thank you Daniel. But do you think there is are difference between the power of “in position”/ button position in low buy-in tourneys and high-rollers? Could imagine that in high-rollers you play more “real poker” and don´t gamble with bad cards only because of the position. That´s definitely players tend to do in low buy-in or daily tourneys. Like calling for example with 72 off in position because they think it´s “cool” to call with crappy hands, they hit the deuce and call all streets and the original raiser “only” had Ace high with AK.
This content encourages to make me not quit poker. Really enjoying it and learning a lot as a new player. I would love to see a video on building your bankroll eg cash vs tournament grinds, online vs live. Whatever you have to say about it I would LOVE to hear. Thanks
hey Daniel I'm a big fan of you.Can you answer me a simple question?What's your advice for someone who is going for the first time at a casino to play poker? think that is not just a simple question but a whole video-conversation,but I want a professional answer to this.I wish you answer to this Daniel
Hey Daniel, shouldn't you work on some better titles/thumbnails? it doesn't even mention poker on either and "How much should you raise?" doesn't really draw people into clicking should this video be suggested to them
bro its simple who knows him follows him and we "all know" his area and skill so either put decent questions on these videos or why do you bother t all seeing them
yeah that's why I said "suggested videos" because people following him already know.. but it's the people not following him he wants to reach. He should defo put himself in the thumbnails
hey d negs remember when full flush rekt you with AAs in the premier league hahahahahaahah, this dude is all ego no wonder hes trying to get into acting. hollywood called they arent interested dude. lol
One of his most informative short videos. Betting is the weakest part of my game, and I think there's some important insights here.
Great advice thanks Daniel
thanx, Go Leafs Go!!!!! :)
Go pens!
can u check wat riverrock says on its site? does bclc regulate poker gameplay or does gpeb?
Daniel, will you marry me? I don't have much money, but I cook sooo good (vegan), I can teach you how to speak Latin and I can be your poker wife and we'll be Beyonce and Jay-z of poker. After you teach me how to play better.
No, YOU are, you little poker vegan sugar cookie

Hair transplantation.
TheBoldImperator lol i wanna know like exactly what he did, im not knocking the guy for doing it all
Great stuff Daniel. Sometimes it can be tough to put concepts that you understand internally in to words, but you do an amazing job at it.
Does playing poker in real life differ from playing online?
Nathan Young are you asking him or in general?
Alexander Geiss just in general mate. ive only played online so im just asking out of curiosity
For me it is really something different when you play in a "real" tournament. First of all you can see your opponent. You can try to read them, in tournaments with a cheaper buy-in it really matters cause there are a lot of amateurs who dont know how to act when they actually sit at the table.

Hey Daniel can you see if Doug is free to do your next Polker Hand, you will come of much better if you do

Big fan of yours, and I'm learning to play hold em. These videos are great! Please keep the "educational" videos coming!

Hey I'm in Vegas in two weeks time staying at the aria would love to get a picture with the poker GOD!
Thank you, Daniel! These instructional videos are great! Thanks for taking the time. Have a great day!

Ahh Daniel... the WPT Fallsview $5k is calling your name! ;)
daniel, please release your documentary to your viewers in brazil
Thanks Daniel, tell us about your crazy cash games in the old days please
Great vid! The one part Im confused on is why you want to target the sticky players when they are on the big blind?
I adjust my raises based on how many limpers are on that pot - more accurately, based on the size of the pot.
So you want me to either go all-in, bet a lot, or bet a little bit. Amazing advice, no once would think of this
Don't you think that if you're a beginner/intermediate player, you should learn how to play postflop game instead of avoiding it.
He never said avoid post flop improvement. He obviously thinks it is alot easier to improve your bet sizing than post flopplY. There are so many strategies for post flop play in different positions against different players in different scenarios that ya that is going to be the hardest to improve overall.

More vlogs from the tournaments Daniel :D

Daniel Negreanu do you remember what I'm talking abt with you and him??
Was actually having a conversation with myself this morning about this subject. Thanks for the help
you might need more help than that if you're having conversations with yourself
Hey Daniel, how do you handle straddlers? Playing cash games, I went against a very aggressive opponent using straddling, he would raise 5 times no matter what and then just kept firing both barrels after the flop. It did well, obviously once he gets caught then he will lose lots, but he was dominating the table. Would really enjoy your POV and well do you even straddle?
Just play the straddle as if it was the big blind. Don't limp into a straddle. If he's playing every straddle then raise wider and call lighter.
I usually get off my seat and try to knock them out. I then hope they don't wake up for the next 7-8 hands before I try again.
This guys been listening to Daniel Negreanu's podcast.
I have a good question Daniel. In a cash game. 1-2 no limit. The table has been playing a typical $8-12 preflop raise(because ppl generally play 1-2 like 2-4).

Hi Daniel.. I have been playing since 2003 when I first read your book I thought small ball was the most ridiculous approach to poker. All these years later I find myself basically playing small ball and crushing it.
Yeah thanks for taking the time to give tips to us beginners (Y)
Say you are waiting for gut shot and flush on the river and a guy makes a small raise. Is it ok to re-raise for a semi bluff here and how much? Thx!!

Hi Daniel, Could you do a video on counting blinds ? as in if you have xx blinds then you should play differenty and stuff like that ? thank you
Wow, I feel like he's giving away secrets of successful poker players for free.

Hey Daniel, I'm reading your book right now. When are you writing a new one?
When are you going to apologize for Justin Bieber?
36 people are just loose-passive calling stations...
GOLD
danny boy, do you edit your videos? if so, which software do you use?
When short, be overly aggressive or more passive with the raises... I see
I have been watching you play for long time now..Love your prospective on the game! thanks for the insight!
Really appreciate these videos!
Please keep em' coming.
What happens if you raise the exact same amount of money ?
great info Daniel, that definitely helped
Hey Daniel, who is the person on your youtube profile pic? Thanks for the vids, much enjoyed!
Daniel Negreanu That's what I would have guessed ;-)
Nice helpful tips Daniel!

Does this apply to online holdem?
Great advice thanks Daniel
Thanks Daniel! see ya next week!

I have a question, do you think that the small ball method is still valid to play tourney?

It never hurts to go to a smaller casino the first few times. Get a feel for things in a low pressure environment.
Thx guys
you da man
Nice video
блин не шарю англ.
I know how to raise, but like hell am I going to share my secrets, I don't want everyone else doing what I do.
Hey Daniel, shouldn't you work on some better titles/thumbnails? it doesn't even mention poker on either and "How much should you raise?" doesn't really draw people into clicking should this video be suggested to them
bro its simple who knows him follows him and we "all know" his area and skill so either put decent questions on these videos or why do you bother t all seeing them
yeah that's why I said "suggested videos" because people following him already know.. but it's the people not following him he wants to reach. He should defo put himself in the thumbnails
I enjoy the titles, its a good break from clickbait
Maybe he just already has millions and doesn't need cash from youtube and just enjoys making these vids as a hobby
