I don't think Negreanu is a "crazy gambler"

Reckless gambling to me, are the guys betting huge sums of money with a high likelihood of going broke. It may be interesting and cool from afar, but if the perpetrator were a close friend or family member, I certainly wouldn't be laughing about 25k coinflips.

This does not make sense, DUCY?

Actually, if you are flipping coins, negative variance can make you GO BROKE without the proper bankroll.

You do not have a HIGH LIKELIHOOD of going broke though. That was his point. Since flipping coins is about neutral EV, the likelihood of you going broke based solely on that, is small.

You could also go broke with AA vs KK preflop if your bankroll is not big enough, but there isn't a high likelihood of that happening either.
