Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu was born in Toronto, Canada on July 26th, 1974. Daniel now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. With two first place finishes at the 1997 World Poker Finals at Foxwoods, Daniel took the world of tournament poker by storm and never looked back. He has since added three World Series of Poker bracelets, two World Poker Tour titles, and more than thirty victories in tournaments across the globe. He won 12 major tournaments from 1997 to 1999, more wins than any other player at the time. More recently, Negreanu won the 2004 Five Diamond World Poker Classic, taking home over 1.7 million. Daniel's reported winnings for 2004 alone totaled $4,420,221. Negreanu has a creative and aggressive edge, and the result is very effective Poker. His strategy is more about extracting hands- he isn’t concerned as much about the pre-flop action as he is about outplaying his opponent once cards are shown.
At the highest levels, everyone has a decent understanding of the game. Feel, or psychological warfare is what it is all about. I honestly don't think that a pure math guy has much of a chance in those games because they aren't psychologically prepared for the game. --Daniel Negreanu
