Daniel Negreanu The Smiling Poker Professional Who Can Read Minds

The World Series of Poker began its "Player of the Year" program in 2004. The award is based on points earned by the players as opposed to actual wins/losses. Daniel Negreanu, turning 30 that year, both lost and gained a place in history that year. His record as the youngest player to win a WSOP bracelet was taken over by a 22 year old but Daniel was the first player to ever receive the Player of the Year award. And that record can't be taken away.



So, what'd you get for your 30th birthday?



Daniel was born in Toronto a few years after his parents moved from their home in Romania. He was attracted to gambling early on in life and spent a lot of his teenage time shooting billiards but fell in love with poker. Demonstrating the kind of courage that's necessary to sit at a world-class table, Daniel left college and moved to Las Vegas�Despite the fact that he only needed one more credit to receive his degree.

He won his first WSOP bracelet when he was 23 (and has since added two more to the collection), ended up in the money more times than most folks can count and written a weekly syndicated poker column: it seems like his decision has worked out well enough.


Had you been watching Daniel play right after he hit Vegas you'd never believe that this was his future. He'd spent time, and made money, touring Canada as a rounder before making the move, but Vegas was different. He had some difficulties beating the middle limit games that were so prevalent under all of the neon.



Daniel began to study the successful players intensely and studied poker as if he were obsessed (which, in some ways, he probably was). In the World Poker Finals at Foxwood, in 1998, Daniel Negreanu received the paycheck for all of that studying. Winning two events worth over $130,000, Daniel was also named the best all-around player at the tournament.

That win kick started his career and Daniel soon found himself sitting at the tables of the World Series of Poker. In 1998 he proved that the Foxwoods feat wasn't an isolated event by winning almost $170,000 in Pot Limit Hold'Em to win his first bracelet, mentioned earlier.



Daniel's success came at a perfect time in poker history as it basically coincided with the meteoric rise in public consumption of the game. It became very uncommon to see a poker tournament on television without Daniel's friendly face in there behind a table somewhere.



That face is almost always sitting above a hockey jersey (Toronto Maple Leafs) and wearing a pair of headphones which pump relaxing and natural music into ears while he focuses on taking the other players chips.



It's an ensemble that seems to work quite well as he won two World Poker Tour tournaments and picked up his next to WSOP bracelets in short order.

At the WSOP in 2006 Jamie Gold, the winner of the main event, said Daniel was the only opponent he faced that he was utterly unable to read. The reverse, however, wasn't true and Daniel lightened the load of Jamie's chips a bit when he saw right through a bluff.



Daniel set up a site devoted to poker in 2005. The card room on the site allows players worldwide to get in on a game with Daniel himself, who frequently plays there. In addition to online gaming, FullContactPoker.com also features Daniel's blog, a poker forum and a player contest with a twist.



In 2006 Daniel announced, through the site, that he was looking for a prot�g�. The goal, of course, was to have Daniel help a player get into world-class shape. The winner of this first contest, Brian Fiddler, received personal instruction from Daniel and four $10,000 buy-ins staked by the masterful teacher. A 2nd place finish for Fiddler in a 2006 WSOP circuit event seems to indicate that Daniel's teaching works.



Daniel held the contest again, looking for a 2nd prot�g� and recently announced that Anthony Mak was the winner.

Aside from pulling down pot-after-pot at the table, Daniel is also an accomplished and successful writer. His blog is frequently updated with thoughtful posts about topics about poker and life. He's written columns for Card Player Magazine and was a contributor to Doyle Brunson's Super/System 2, the recently released sequel to Doyle's historic Super/System.



Daniel has published a book of his own, Hold'em Wisdom For All Players, and has another book, Power Hold'em Strategy, in the works for early 2008 publication. In the newest status-symbol available in our world, he was featured in his own video game called "Stacked With Daniel Negreanu," which provides strategies and suggestions along with the game play.



Despite all of this activity in his professional life, Daniel still had time to marry Lori Lin Weber in 2005. The couple lives in the Las Vegas and Daniel is frequently seen at tables around town and looks at side-games as his real "job," as opposed to tournaments which he does for fun.



While many folks could've doubted Daniel's chances for success while watching him struggle through games upon arriving in Vegas, Daniel never did. He is intensely competitive, very goal-oriented and highly driven. These three traits, along with an almost supernatural insight into human nature and other players, has allowed Daniel to become one of the most respected and successful players alive.



Unlike many of the other successful professional players, many of whom were accustomed to living a quiet life because they weren't known outside of poker, Daniel Negreanu has been very open publicly about himself, his play and his life. The elite poker player is very willing to discuss his opinions and outlooks on life but don't think you're going to get into his head at the table�Besides, he's already in yours so don't bother.http:
