Daniel Negreanu

It appears that no other player has managed to gain wealth like Daniel Negreaunu did. The Canadian gambler has won over $33 million by playing the card game; and even now, he continues to disturb his circuit opponents. His success is primarily due to his approach to bluffing and bets. As Daniel says, bluffing is similar to telling a story. You should be completely sure about the facts you’re going to say, even though they don’t quite match with the reality! But on the other hand, it also depends on the people you’re playing against. If your opponent thinks that you’re a bluffer, don’t ever bluff him! As for his betting strategy, this is pretty simple too; although this may be surprising for some gamblers. Daniel Negreanu is an adherent of the minimum-bet theory. In most cases, he doesn’t go after betting heavily, but rather places the smallest bet. Daniel’s Instagram is primarily about his life beyond poker; but some game-related posts do feature from time to time.
