Poker Daniel Negreanu 2018
If you’re considering becoming a professional poker player or are just love watching pros win stacks of cash, let Daniel Negreanu give you a reality check.
He later wore a T-shirt with the phrase while randomly seated alongside Negreanu in a poker tournament, then paid to put the phrase on a billboard outside the Rio during the WSOP in 2018. Sadly, there will be no World Series of Poker Main Event bracelet for legend Daniel Negreanu this year. But at least the poker pro — known for his tableside chatter — went out with some jokes. Daniel Negreanu is easily the most recognizable poker player on the planet. It’s also safe to say he has already earned the status of a true Poker Legend. GGPoker proudly calls him one of our own. It is within the live poker sphere where Daniel is best known for his table exploits. 28 August 2018 Tags: Daniel Negreanu, European Poker Tour Lee Davy talks to Daniel Negreanu about his Platinum Pass Adventure, the importance of living a life of abundance, service and refusing to.

The legendary poker pro wrote a year-end blog with his results from 2017, revealing he had won over $2.7 million last year. That seems like a ton of money, right?
Not quite, per Negreanu:
Well, the truth is, if a player plays the full high roller schedule and cashes for $2 million, they are all but certain to have had a losing year, and that’s before expenses.
I felt like I had a decent year in terms of results, but when you break down the numbers into an actual profit vs loss, I essentially broke even!

Wsop Daniel Negreanu 2018
Buyins: $2,874,164
Payouts:$2,792,104
Profit: -$86,140
Crazy, right? His $2.7 million didn’t even cover all of his buy-ins into events. Although he said most players don’t fund everything by themselves, he does pay his own way into events despite sponsorship deals.
Negreanu also broke down how he did this year in terms of cashing out in tournaments: He said he played in 71 events and cashed out in JUST 21 OF THEM! The previous year he went 10-for-49 and 11-for-49 in 2015. Yet when he tallied up his five-year total, he went 68-for-291 and made an $8 million-plus profit.
What does all that mean? If you can stomach all the losses and balance them with occasionally cashing in, all while affording the expenses, you could be a pro.
