Daniel Negreanu Poker Professional (Daniel Negreanu) knows very well what the stress and difficulties associated with the publicity of his life during the tournament. Liabilities relating to an entirely new training site, a huge number of publications, surveys in advertising and affection for fantasy sport, forced to wonder how Negreanu still manages to entertain people constantly updated blog post, describing his daily life.
Card Player correspondent met with Negreanu during the second break on the first day in (which is one of the steps on the way to the tournament Legends of Poker) in the casino Bike, to discuss his latest blog posts, and his plans for the coming month, during which will be a lot of tournaments.
Julio Rodriguez: Well, first of all, I would like to avoid the topic of poker and talk about your most recent posts on the blog. Do not want to describe your experience of meeting with the ghosts in the hotel?
DN: To try something new, I first stopped at the Embassy Suites. It looked like an old school, the situation terrified. I dreamed of the most horrific nightmares in my life. This is when you sleep, and think that woke up and suddenly you see in front of his father, who died seven years ago. These are the dreams:
As soon as I woke up, everything has become even more strange. In the dream, not working light switches, when I woke up, they were also defective. I had to get out there and, literally speaking, I moved to a more convenient location. I do not know all of this somehow brings horror, scary.
Maybe there were no ghosts: but their presence felt.
HR: So I have to start to get nervous, once I decided to take a room there?
DN: Do you stop there? Well, I do not know, not in the room selites number 808. It seems to me that there were people, who dropped from the balcony … happened or something like that.
HR: Let’s talk about the endless stream of money that you get by becoming a professional PokerStars. Rumor has it that if a player sends $ .02 in your account on PokerStars, is automatically activated some kind of “wash”, which helps to achieve success in the future and increases the size of your bankroll. If someone does not list the money, then it will happen with precision but on the contrary. My question follows: how much did you earn?
DS: [laughs and responds jokingly] Why this is stupid. Of course, I sent enough money to take part in no-limit game with $ 200 – $ 400, well, actually, just me and the money sent. I have put them in business. In fact, never spend their own money, but just these.
But seriously, I do not even know how much money I have sent this way, but someday I will gather them and write out a check for his name. [Laughs] In my own charity, of course. We call this fund rebuys Negreanu.
HR: Okay, let’s talk about poker. How was your part in the first day of the Legends of Poker so far?
DN: It is not clear. It seems that I have not yet fully tuned in to poker. After the World Series we did not play, but there I was in the middle of it. So, now I need some time to get on track, and even more so with such a short structure, which takes place here. I have already met with the cool guys at the table, for example, BodogAri with another fellow, who calls himself KidPokerJD: on the Stars.
