ah yes i'll remember this next time im playing against Ivey in a $1 mtt.

I just can’t get enough of this guy, he is so damn interesting and likeable

thank you for this! Since watching this, I'm now a regular at the final table in my bar league. The couple times I missed, I won or at least cashed all the sit'n'go games! Amazing how many people ignore the little things lol

If Phil Ivey stared at me from across the poker table... poo would come out.

The most intelligent and honest player of poker in the world. Definitely i play better poker because of him. So, thanks Daniel and greetings from Macedonia 🇲🇰

Me: 9 3 off suit Opponent: aces Me: im in danger

If I call a min raise from bb with 92 and the flop comes 9 8 2 I'm getting my money in ....Idc if it's against phil ivey Jesus Christ or my garbage man

I've been trying this advice and it seems to be working. Thank you!

these free lectures are priceless

Great vlog and great thought process. There's a reason u have so much success. Keep up the good work in life and poker

Really good tip Daniel , really enjoying to watch your videos. Keep it up!

Great advice. Thanks!

"you don't necessarily want to get in a big pot when the flop comes 982 when you have 92 because the guy may have 98 or whatever" -Daniel Negreanu 2017

I love this series ....Good Job Daniel .....Old SChool ;) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are the Best Love watching you play You make it look so easy God Bless

Good stuff. Thanks Daniel! You paint a pretty good picture. Will be taking a lot of this to a decent tournament in my area. Based on my level of play (low level ameatur) this is a big one that will test me. -Terry

Thank you the poker master.

Hello Daniel. First of all, credits for the awesome videos lately. Was thinking if maybe you could explain more about all the terms of poker, such as pot odds, implied odds, or whatever they're called, and how to use them properly, maybe in a later video. All of this is obviously obtainable information on google, but I'd love to hear your explaination on it :)

THANK YOU DANIEL for these videos - wishing you many more bracelets in your lifetime.

Thx for the great tips! 👍

the thumbnail of you with the tank is funny

I want to thank you, you have changed my game! !

Love your Videos Daniel keep it up 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Thanks Danny!!!

This is a shoutout to tournament players. I heard Pokerstars added rake even to tournament chips. You guys should defend tighter.

Love the thumbnail!

great videos Daniel keep it up!!!

Thank you for this!

Thank you sir!

Great tip, will consider it

Thanks for the tips Dan. always helpful. I met you once in an elevator at Mohegan Sun napt 2010. not like you would remember.😎

love your vids!!!

Thank you master ✌️

Hi Daniel, big fan here. Can you do a video on button abuse please? A lot of new players (including me) struggle with understanding the advantage of having the button.

This is an absolutely perfect explanation

Hey Daniel great video man! I was just wondering who you think are the "best" poker players. Cash game players? Tournament Players? And to get a little more specific do you think HU players are better than the average Cash game or Tournament player? I know they are all better at each game depending what they play, but which group would you categorize as the all around best? I doubt you'll see this, but if you do thanks in advance.

Remember the 5 D's of Dodgeball... Dodge Duck Dip Dive and Dodge

Great information 👍

Love you Daniel.

Thank you for that great Tips must play more Online i keep my play toggle betwen TAG and LAG play and prefer the reading of others

Very coo lesson!

Daniel can you make a video on your thoughts on limit Texas Holdem maybe some tips because my casino only hosts open limit Holdem tables when they aren't doing tournaments and I haven't found the time to join a tournament yet.

I have been analyzing ONLY roulette for 8 years now ... I don't know ANYTHING about poker ... so it's very nice to see that everybody has his or her own speciality ... yours is poker , ty for sharing your knowledge and experience

Thank you so much. I think I always misunderstood this (ok really I've only been studying poker seriously like the last couple months) but I was always under the impression you play a very small range in the blinds and took that to mean you rarely bet and usually fold, and only play with a small range of hands. Looks like the opposite is true and you are just really careful moving forward. So your first move is to usually check or bet because of the odds?

This was gold!

Hello Daniel, a bit off topic but what is a better hand 2,7 off suit or 2,9 off suit? Thanks again, keep up the great videos!

Im just getting startet with the hole poker world. So i would like to thank you for sharing your Experience with us and giving us tips so we have a fighting chance.. I just hit that Sub. Button. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you. 👌

Wow okay...thank you!!!!

Most of what Daniel said is true. I’ll also take into consideration if I’m playing in a short stack, middle stack or deep stack tournament.

how often and what ranges should you be calling with if there are no antes and its a minraise?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm really just trying to expand my processing of advanced betting mechanics. But regarding that hypothetical 92 off & 982 rainbow flop, I believe it's solid to raise. Most will assume you're still strong at this point but not two-paired, sending out a C-bet. This would not only work in your favor on a perception level but it adds value to your hand. If you bet quarter pot or half pot you're applying pressure to opponents floating high cards and forcing mid pairs to commit or fold. Based on opponent response to this bet, you get decent info regarding who's likely holding what combos. Assuming most folded pre flop and you're playing 3-handed or less, you could assume you're up against premium pairs or high cards floating to the river if they call. If they come over the top they might be too strong to continue or bluffing, depends on how tight of a player they are. From this point forward, assuming nobody reraises, I'd say to play for pot control and not be afraid to take your hand to showdown so long as you don't over-commit financially and nobody has given you reason to believe they're sitting on a monster hand come the turn or river. More often than not, your two pair will be the best made hand at the table. So long as you stay vigilant and account for all variables important at the time, I'd say you shouldn't fold the two pair immediately post flop. And honestly I don't think Daniel would either, but I also don't think he's trying to advise people to play exactly like he does because of his excellent reading ability. What do you guys think?

is this advice only applicable to tournaments or cash games as well?

Just wanted to let you know...applied your lesson. Got on a hot streak after HOURS...literally after 18 hours of being almost completely card dead in an aggressive 1/3 game.... Back to back Big Blind and Small Blind hands flopped Full Houses. BB was 9/2 Suited spades against AA....flopped 9/2/2 and SB 4/5 Suited Spades against KK...flopped 5/5/4. Nice raises...four callers each...and called ALL-IN...about $500 in profit. DEFINITELY would have folded before! Thank you Sir!

I watched this three times and matched a new concept with something that had occurred in a previous hand of mine. Wish I had DN as a teacher in hs I would have made something of my life

Hey Daniel ! Congrats for amazing videos and your great history ! Can you pls make one video,or serie,about playstyle and how people can find the best style for himselves ? Thx anyway and GL,im a big fan !

This is going to be really helpful😍😍😊😊

Great vid

HE's a very very smart man ,,,,, and a good teacher .

GRACIAS DANIEL POR EL SUBTITULO EN ESPAÑOL 😎😎😎😎😎

Huge admirer of your skills and cool! But I read some old pro saying that you should never educate your opponents and point out their faulty play.. Because of, well, obvious reasons. How would you respond to such a statement?

Hola! Sería excelente que tengas un canal con tus videos hablados (traducidos) en español. 🎉Latinoamerica quiere ver tus videos hablados al español.

How do you feel about re-raising with nothing from the big blind, especially if you feel the player is trying to steal?

so question, is this specifically for tournaments, seeing how cash games don't always have anties what means the price and odds you get are less good.

I probably could get it in with 9 2 (nines up), but it depends on a lot of factors. What Ive learned is that I take far more bad beats, suk outs, etc... when I shove on the flop. The more information I have when I shove allows me to minimize the bad effects that poor luck can have... or whether to shove at all. I really think that shoving on the turn or river is a far better plan than shoving 2 pair on the flop...if you have a choice.

But I still like the entertainment !!!good shit respect

thanks daniel

such a likeable guy

Have you considered calling this series 'Polker Tip of the Week?'

nice video! keep it up

daniel, your vids are the best.. been watching them and tournament highlights especially for a while now; you were the one that got me hooked on poker; you're a legend. From your expertise, if i get a really good hand on the flop (trips, flush or flush draw, or straight), what strategy do i do to get all the player to call or bet in the hand so i can win a big pot

salut daniel, nu ai vrea sa faci un videoclip cu sfaturi si in romana? Ar fi superr!!

great video Daniel! multumesc frumos, datorita tutorialelor tale am reusit sa scot bani chiar si online! all the best from Romania! - ProProphet98

Hey Daniel, or anyone here, recreational/novice player, 500 hours so far in two years and winning. Want to hear yours or anyone else's thought on uncapped buy ins at the 1/2, and 2/5 level. Benefits, dangers, pros, cons etc...Thanks!

Awesome

Your books are cool man.

Incredible thumbnail

This one is perfect- I played live shortly after watching this... used this lesson.. it works.. I cashed - (chopped final 4) ... Thanks

Hey Daniel, I was just wondering how to beat players online. I'm not playing on a really professional app (don't worry, its all legal), and the players aren't really that great. They will call with almost any hand, including 2 and 7 off suit. So I call with a decent hand like King Jack or Ace King, and they get lucky and flop 2 pair. Any tips? Thanks

@Daniel Negreanu : Great vid as usual 👍. But (yes, there is a "but"), you only talk about the big blind and the title of the video is Defending your Blinds, plural. What about the small blind ? You get half of the odds you get in the big blind, so it is not as much as correct to call, especially when you do not know what the big blind is going to do. What are your thoughts on this, please ? 🤔

What do I have to do to play cards with you?

I dont understand the 5-1 odds, can someone explain that to me?

But in comparison with some of the tips I've heard, calling isn't an option when you're big blind, I thought blinds/late position must be aggressive, means they must either raise or fold, "calling isn't an option" specially with unconnected off-suited hands. Don't know... kinda confused. I'm a beginner tho :) please guide. Thanks.

DANI

big fan

so play unless your opponent is good, >_< noted.

are u ever going to plan coming to india??...we love u

Daniel !!!

Idk Daniel. I might be able to exploit you after the flop. ;). Haha. Love your style and analytics dnegs! :).

“You don’t want to overplay your hand” No pun intended.

danny is the man i hope to get the chance to study under him

The card house I play at makes the big blind pay the ante, it’ll be like 2k-1k-2k it really sucks man. The odds don’t apply 😐

And if you haven't gotten to the Antes yet in a tournament maybe a cash game where there aren't any? What about small blind spot? Please tell us how you defend or don't defend those blinds.

Liked just for the thumbnail

Mr Daniel i would like to know if i can call my self a semi professional i play in Sydney N.S.W. Australia in hotel's and RSL Clubs (pubs and working men club) i play about 8 game's a week at a buy-in of between $25 to $55 per-game with prize pools of between $1000 to $3000 i have been playing pub poker (which is at most pubs ) for 5 year's in Australia but 5 card stud is my favorite game and been playing that for 40 from the age of 9 ( with 5 card drew and 7 card stud as my dad tutored me ( he was a 3 card brag and 9 card brag and cribbage champ in Kent in UK ) i can say studying ur play not watching or read ur tutorials and i have have in the last 11 month won twice a month placed 2nd and 3rd once a week either one or the other and placed in the money places between 4th to 7th positions three time's a week and no money positions 15th place or less, so not playing large tournament at the Sydney or Melbourne casinos or cash game's there either can i call my self sem-professional i have fixed income of $550 a week and now in the last 11 month i am now making $669 a week profit after i take out buy-in and losses so to cut a long story short THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATE UR PLAY AS A PROFESSIONAL WORLD CHAMPION ( if u find ur-self in Sydney Australia and not in a big casino game it would be an honour to play against you and show you how hard Australian pub poker is )

where i play its really hard cuz everyone calls with everything so u cant bluff cuz they will call u with anything

I was reading a book that had such a different view on defending blinds. It said that people become too attached to blinds that they didn't even put in the pot voluntarily and that they should let the go more easily than people tend to to. I think that, although math IS on your side (5:1 e.g.), it's not 5:1 anymore if you look at the situation that you already did put 1 bb, so it becomes 3:1 again. My English is so bad in trying to explain this haha.

remember the faces of the locals you play with

Quá quá hay👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

Daniel, you sure have buffed up sporting a beard, looking good my friend.

which hero makes these thumnails
