Re: Where\'s Negreanu?
[ QUOTE ]
He is certainly not close to the player he was a couple years ago, not sure if this is because he got overconfident and doesn't work hard anymore or if there are just a ton of other good players that have joined the pro ranks that play better than he does. [/ QUOTE ] Are you forgetting something called he ran good? The guy ran like GOD for two years and now is back to normal luck.

Re: Where\'s Negreanu?
Perhaps I'm reading too much into his blog but it seems like he is always tired, doesn't want to be at the table, gets bored easily, always complains about the structure, etc.
The great ones rise up and face the challenge; to me, it seems he just wants to be playing golf or the Wii. Maybe being a part of Poker Stars will re-motivate him?

THEY got films of his play and he doesn't have films of those young internet players' play.

Re: Where\'s Negreanu?
"Not cashing so far this year in the series is pretty awful considering he has played several non-holdem events which he claims are better events for him."
Since only about 9% of the players cash, the chances of not cashing in x tournaments is .91 to the xth power. You might think its a lot smaller for the better players but that would only be true if they were playing to survive.

Re: Where\'s Negreanu?
No, that's for consecutive non-cashes.

Re: Where\'s Negreanu?
It's unlikely he's gotten worse at poker in the last few years. No one is as good as he appeared to be during his peak, no one is even close. He had a decent 2005, good 2006, and good 2007 so far. He ran extremely well in 2004, and it's unreasonable to expect him to run that well every year, or even ever again.

Re: Where\'s Negreanu?
Found him!
42 minutes ago Daniel Negreanu Advanced to Round 2 "I finally cashed!" screamed Negreanu after he won his table. "I wish we played shoot outs every day." according to the site of the worldseries.
