Default Will Negranu EVER take a day off from HSP?

High Stakes Poker is by far my favorite poker show. The only thing about it that I dislike is wannabe table captain "kid poker" NEVER taking a session off. I already didn't care for him much before the first season aired, but now after watching him squirm in his seat and chatter nervously for 20 episodes, I absolutely cannot stand the sight of him. If I see him make a 'spot-on read' on his opponent AFTER their hole cards have been revealed one more time, I might explode. Why does everyone else in the game make room for new players except DN?

My kingdom for just one episode of HSP without him!

Negreaunu sees the game as profitable so why should he leave? Its only 2 8 hour sessions. A better question would be how come none of the other pro's stay the full session.

I don't mind him and he usually makes the game much better, but you do bring up a hilarious point. Typical Negreanu chat: "Well, you've obviously got KJ or AJ (opponent shows 77), sevens, yep, knew it."

I liked when Eli challenged him on that sort of acting. Daniel 'called out' Eli's hand and was wrong, when Eli showed it Daniel said 'ah that was the other one'. Eli retorted that it wasn't ANY one that Daniel had been thinking about, that it wasn't a scenario he had even imagined.

It's all about TV time and popularity. "Kid Poker" is a product and that product needs advertisement.

I also like how he covers him self all the time saying things like "I know you have me beat what a cooler" when he calls on the end. But he has a lot of heart though, I never make crying calls anymore after watching him call those big bets like when he snaped Todd Brunson of for like 100k wit TPTK dude in an savage.

I actually like Negreanu, but i agree, he's been shown far too much on this season of HSP. His chatter is starting to get really irritating, and i'd now much prefer to be watching somebody else play.
