Poker is an amazing environment in which there are several leading players. The entire poker community is following their successes and failures! So we still remember the deception with Justin Bonomo’s multi-accounts and follow the records of Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey. Of course, with Daniel Negreanu, we have been waiting for the 7th WSOP bracelet for 11 years! Negreanu won his 6th bracelet in 2013. That year, he also became the best series player, finishing top 1 in the corresponding leaderboard. But WSOP 2024 became a new chapter in poker history and Daniel himself! This is a very prestigious event with a $50,000 buy-in.

Why is there such a fuss about Negreanu's victory? The new poker generation believes that old-school players are no longer good. Now due to the Internet and fast payout sites, young stars are playing more hands daily than some poker old-timers have played during their careers. Naturally, winning a gold bracelet now and winning it 10 years ago are quite different things. However, Daniel Negreanu (the legendary KidPoker) once again proved his high poker level! What is his secret?

Daniel Negreanu: Top Poker Tips

Let's start with the fact that for Daniel, life is a gamble! He emphasizes that every life step is a bet. When you decide to do something, you bet on the success of the action! Moreover, he was never interested in money. He came to poker not for the love of money, but for the love of poker. The money was a nice addition to the game. Money was never his passion - he just really wanted to play at the highest level with the best poker pros. However, he has several practical tips:

  • You should pay much more attention to practical poker games than to theory. Always show your A-game - use 100% of your capabilities, stay focused, make better decisions, and avoid mistakes. However, do not forget about balance - the mind will work badly if it is overloaded.
  • Treat your poker career like a business. This is the best way to maximize your income. Keeping detailed profit and loss records will allow you to adjust to the situation most effectively. Analyze game statistics to identify problem areas and eliminate them. At the very beginning of his poker journey, Negreanu’s mother was against it - she wanted her son to study. However, he showed her records of his winnings - per week/day/hour. He proved that this was his job, which brought him money, and she agreed. Then he bought her a house and a car, and she decided that she liked poker.
  • Improve your skills in all types of poker. Tournament players should practice cash games more often to improve their level in deep stack play. Of course, poker tournaments are short-stack games. Still, they start with deep stacks. This interdisciplinary training is essential to reaching your potential. A well-rounded poker player is capable of amazing results in the long run!
  • Focus on your losses. Analyze them and be as objective as possible about yourself. It's also worth discussing losing hands with stronger players. Regardless of what you find out, be critical of your game and try to find ways to improve your win rate.
  • Compare your statistics to those of the strong regulars you are playing against. Try to determine what they do to be successful. Start using these tactics in your game as part of your overall poker strategy.

Of course, among other things, Daniel Negreanu says that it is important to use all modern poker resources. Playing online or watching experienced players on Twitch are some of the best ways to speed up your learning process. Online poker is much faster than live games and you can play at multiple tables simultaneously (at lower limits). Online experience accumulates very quickly! This also applies to the best Gamblorium casino games. In just a couple of years, users can accumulate as much poker experience as legendary Doyle Brunson did during 60 years.

Bluffing Is Not Fraud, But A Way To Study The Opponent & Win!

According to Negreanu, bluffing is not a lie! It is part of the game and its strategic aspect. Daniel doesn't focus on how much he's bluffing - he needs to study his opponent and choose the best strategy. He does not perceive bluff as a way to deceive a person - he can bluff to set the rival's weakness! Daniel also believes that poker helps him to be more disciplined. Sometimes he can lose with aces and kings - it's hard and stressful. The ability to cope with poker troubles and losses allows him to solve everyday problems.

Daniel Negreanu treats poker as his profession. This seems the main reason for his success! He started playing because he was interested in the competitive poker aspect and enjoyed his progress. He even perceived the ten-year period of his failures as an experience and, judging by the 7th WSOP bracelet, he learned the lesson well! Fortunately, it turned out that the profession he chose brought him a lot of money!
