Daniel Negreanus suggestions to changes for live poker.

[Goggelheimer]

As seen in some poker news(Spadespoker) Mr. Negreanu has some suggestions for live poker.

1. No face covering. Fun fact for his style? What about beards? Can you force people to be totally shaved?
2. No sun glasses
3. If a player is betting 90% or more of his stack, this shall be considered as an All In
4. No card protectors at the tables

What are your thoughts about that.

I have also one suggestion for live and online poker.

No limping to enter the pot.

At least the first player that wants to play for the forced bets from SB and BB plus antes has to make a raise,
he has to risk more than the pot size is.

Limping is not a fair play esp. when there are antes in play.

At a nine player table there is nearly 1 BB more in the pot which he tries to win without taking a risk.

Players that want to play against the SB and BB forced bets, should do that not lightly,
they should also be forced to take a risk.

I don't like limping is pimping, because of the position advantage of the late positions.

4. No card protectors at the tables

I couldn't understand why he said this, but then he mentioned it was because there could be cameras hidden inside. I guess that makes sense.

Negreanu is just one player. Let's see how the world turns...

Limping is not a fair play esp. when there are antes in play.

Players that want to play against the SB and BB forced bets, should do that not lightly,
they should also be forced to take a risk.

Then again, if there would be a forced raise the possibility of checking would be taken away from BB.

Limping might not be wise but I don't see it as unfair since everyone has their turn to serve as SB/BB.

I know that 1 to 3 are things people use for tactical reasons, Seems a bit childish to ban things like that just because he doesn't like them. In the case of number 3 "All in" means what it says, not "90% in".

I can't fathom why anyone would want to ban card protectors.

 

[pentazepam]

Agree on all points.

Also not any electronics or things that can contain electronics. And scan every player before they sit down.

 

[dreamer13]

He is right, changes are needed, poker needs to be rejuvenated, innovation is always good.

 

[Luvepoker]

Why card protectors is what I don't get . While I can agree some maybe to much. 99.9% are small and not a distraction at all. Heck Maybe we should raise the rake too. LOL

 

[Suns of Beaches]

Op's perception of how limping benefits people is way way off, completely ignoring the downsides off it.

My guess is OP got busted badly by limpers in the past otherwise I don't know how one would come up with such a suggestion. Like one of the worst suggestions I have ever read about regarding making games better. Basically trying to make games tougher😅

No limping? That’s a funny one! I remember I was in a card room somewhere and they had their posted house rules on the wall. One of the rules was “Check-Raising is allowed”. I thought wow people complained enough about being check raised they actually had to make a rule to say it’s ok lol.

Decades ago I was playing a low stakes private game at a local fraternal organization. I did a check raise and was quickly told that it was against the rules. LOL!!

Daniel has always rallied against sunglasses…. Despite wearing them a few times lol.

Personally I like sunglasses and use them myself - but I also learned how to play poker in the money maker / Chris fugerson era.

So I am biased

 

[enno]

Isn’t limping preflop the same as checking postflop. You might as well change the game so that everyone has to raise or fold - lol. Limping and check-raising have been part of the game from day one.

#3 is stupid. Players would obviously just bet 89% of their stack and then it would become a huge pain in the ass that would constantly require the floor. If the concern is the possibility that someone is trying to angle than it would be better to make it so whenever it's time for a showdown the dealer instructs the players before they flip over their cards.

I doubt it's really even an issue. It probably gets someone to prematurely flip their hands over here and there and when it does happen it's probably even more rare that it's an angle.

 

[R.Holynskyi]

I think his suggestions are quite relevant and adequate. As for the beard, as for me, a beard is not a face mask, a beard is just a beard
And your proposal is also quite relevant in my opinion, I would support you.

 

[EarnDAStack]

Daniel Negreanu is a figure head to casuals.

He doesn't care about the poker community, he cares about enriching himself.

I'd rather hear what someone like Pads Giraf or JKoon has to say about improving live poker, not Daniel "More Rake is Better" "I'm sponsored by a site that doesn't even run RNG verification anymore but don't you dare think you're going to come into my games and make them harder" Negreanu

I mean doesn't even want you to choose bet sizes he doesn't like playing against...

live poker is a complete waste of time to be honest.

 

[MK_]

I think he's completely lost the plot lately in a whole lot of ways,

a quick perusal of his twitter is quite a trip down a lot of rabbit holes...,

anyway not sure why he thinks poker needs his opinion on everything or

why poker needs changing. everything he mentioned is totally within long term accepted standards,

limping is within the rules, positional play is part of the game, 90% is 90% not 100%..., no just no🙄👎

It seemed fair to me, let's just play what was put into play. If you want more, start another game if it's accepted. 😀 it was a good joke .

My idol Daniel Negreanus ​

with the size of elactronics these days i guess that means no clothes and no hair lmao he he

 

[Urameshi]

Negreanu is the phoniest poker player out there.

You want to make live poker better?


How about stop recording the game with your cellphone for your stupid vlogs?

1) Why no face covering? No clue.
2) No sunglasses. They could be prescription to see the flop from positions 2 and 9 (furthest from mid table).
3) 90% is 90%...that old expression about "A chip and a chair"...why not keep some chips behind for another hand?
4) No card protectors? Seriously?

Covering one's face and eyes are not the advantage he thinks they are. DNegs thinks that pros can outplay amateurs by reading their facial features. I got news, Daniel...my pupils will dilate in the same manner if I have a monster hand, or if I am bluffing with Diddly-squat...I might swallow hard, so my Adams Apple moves under stress of either decision. And what in the world can one hide in a flat coin, the most common card protector. I have been at a table where the dealer erroneously took a player in seat 10's cards into the muck before he had a chance to act...the dealer used the excuse that he should have used a card protector. I like Negeanu, but this is nonsense.

 

[rei signo]

I agree with the 1st item about facial coverage!

 

[rei signo]

Glasses and card protectors in this highly technological world can also be quite complicated!
