I think I’ve figured out what I wanted to say …
|
|
|
The Comedy Festival was in town again and I had some good laughs...
|
|
|
Love the place, but just can't do it this year...
|
|
|
I can't tell you how many wise cracks I've heard over the past 10 years about the Canadian Dollar being inferior to the American dollar...
|
|
|
I had an eye opening experience on a one day trip to Los Angeles to attend a fund raiser for TACA (Talk About Curing Autism)…
|
|
|
Just haven't felt like bloggin...
|
|
|
Played the best that I could, and I don't think I could have done anything differently to win this event...
|
|
|
My second shot an an EPT title starts in a couple days...
|
|
|
Poker is just an awesome game and I’ve got the bug again big time…
|
|
|
With the game of poker that is. I’m really enjoying the WSOPE event here in London and in my off time all I want to do is play at PokerStars.com and/or write and think about the game…
|
|
|
I repeat, NEVER check a bag with the most incompetent airline in the world when it comes to handling your luggage… that, and a whole bunch of other stuff…
|
|
|
The lowdown and an assessment of play thus far…
|
|
|
That and golf, an improved version of “Coffee, Soda, Juice,” and the High Stakes Poker Showdown on PokerStars…
|
|
|
I was very happy with my play in Barcelona and excited about my level of confidence going forward…
|
|
|
and now I’m rarin’ to go on day two…
|
|
|
The atmosphere here is electric…
|
|
|
Golfing in Asia is very different than the U.S. Also, I question the recent trend for poker tournaments selling coverage rights…
|
|
|
Due to jetlag I’ve been on a strange sleeping schedule that’s left me watching lots of television here in the Philippines…
|
|
|
For those of you who don’t already know about the recent news, HBO Real Sports did a story on dog fighting recently…
|
|
|
With Marley in heat at the moment, Mushu is losing his mind...
|
|
|
A lull in poker action after the WSOP is soon to heat up later this month...
|
|
|
Including a 16 hour session at the Bellagio last night…
|
|
|
It’s been a while since I offended a large group of people, so here goes!
|
|
|
Still in Vancouver for a few more days...
|
|
|
I'm going over my schedule now that the WSOP is over and I'm thinking about making some trips overseas...
|
|
|
Rarely do I meet a celebrity or athlete that makes me feel like a fan, but meeting Agassi made me feel like an awkward little boy asking for an autograph...
|
|
|
The structure for this event is very different than the structures for the smaller events...
|
|
|
The latest video blog includes a tour of my new pad...
|
|
|
The year seemed to go by in a flash, but it's time once again for poker's most prestigious event...
|
|
|
Not all that into playing poker these days...
|
|
|
Yesterday I took part in filming season four and today I'm hoping to get some play time on today's schedule...
|
|
|
I played in one of the most entertaining games I've played in ages, with a crazy group of characters...
|
|
|
I've been reading a book recently that I can't put down...
|
|
|
Absolutely, without question, the worst hand I've played in... well, I don't remember how long...
|
|
|
This new house brings me one step closer to where I want to be in life...
|
|
|
I'm finally moving into a new house and it's been a long time coming...
|
|
|
Easter dinner turned into a rather unpleasant situation...
|
|
|
I read a blog recently that helped me understand how to tap into all of my poker powers!!!
|
|
|
This is the first season I've watched the show all the way through and I think it's riveting television, but some Amercians are out to destroy it...
|
|
|
Lots to cover from poker players across America being duped, the Reno WPT event, bowling, and finally, a marathon chinese poker session...
|
|
|
This discussion came up on some internet forums so I thought I'd throw my two cents in...
|
|
|
Played my first live session of the year at Bellagio this year with David Benyamine, Patrick Antonious, Jennifer Harman, and Eli Elezra...
|
|
|
Now you should know by now that I don't say stuff like that unless I mean it, and am always wiling to criticize, but this is a spot I love more and more each time...
|
|
|
Most of you will think I'm crazy for being so upset about this, but I am, and I don't really care...
|
|
|
A writer for espn.com wrote a column recently about Al D'Amato and I don't think it was very good...
|
|
|
Here are my picks with comments. Also, 3rd round predicitons with the actually players who are there...
|
|
|
It's that time of year again. Time to fill out your brackets for the National Heads Up Poker Championship on NBC. Also a bizarre story from my youth involving NBC...
|
|
|
What a great facility, structure, food options, etc. It is the best poker facility I've ever seen...
|
|
|
If you don't like movies or television, then this blog might not be for you...
|
|
|
A two week bet to put in 140 hours in two weeks and avering at least one big bet an hour...
|
|
|
It's official, there will be a new addition to the Negreanu family! That, and why I suck at online poker, the NBA All-Star game, and wasting way too much time on internet poker forums...
|
|
|
It's one of my favorite movies. Anyway, here is a clip I want to share with all of you...
|
|
|
Lots of discussion about my latest video blog...
|
|
|
I made the sickest 9-ball run ever last night against Gavin Smith. In other news, I read a recent Phil Gordon article that was so ridiculous I felt compelled to respond...
|
|
|
Lots of bizarre things happening in the poker world today, so much so, that I figured I'd chime in...
|
|
|
That Al Gore seems to be a passionate and great man. Too bad he got cheated in 2000 and we ended up with the jerk that it's office now...
|
|
|
The Super Bowl was fun, but now it's time for a quick trip to LA for a HEads Up tournament...
|
|
|
Colts 34 Bears 17. That's my prediction...
|
|
|
I actually listened to that clip from a couple years ago after reading Joe Rogan's blog, and realized that I was wrong...
|
|
|
Maybe I stuck the needle a little too deep...
|
|
|
Before we go celebrate the American pastime, the Super Bowl, here are a few things you should know about the league and it’s practices… (no poker content whatsoever)
|
|
|
I don't listen to the show, but someone sent me a link to something they said about me recently on their show...
|
|
|
Now it's time to go home...
|
|
|
I'm in AC now, set to play another event early in the morning...
|
|
|
For the third consecutive year I find myself at a final table in Tunica, Mississippi. Here is a rundown of the players and my view of them...
|
|
|
My flow is spot on…
|
|
|
I lost my mind in the morning but settled as the day went on. Also, a challenge to all tournament director's in this country...
|
|
|
I started off slowly but picked it up in the end...
|
|
|
I watched an insane amount of television in the last few days...
|
|
|
This blog isn't meant to be preachy in any way, shape, or form, but I'd be lying if I didn't mention the fact that my belief in God is an important part of my life...
|
|
|
I started off dodging bullets and then did something totally out of character...
|
|
|
Apparently the 100K buy in wasn't a typo after all...
|
|
|
I'm in the airport in Bahamas on my way to Miami, LA, and finally to Australia. It's given me a little time to reflect on poker...
|
|
|
Working out really does make you feel super human…
|
|
|
writing from the airport... (updated)
|
|
|
Just cause...
|
|
|
Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanza, and all that good stuff...

Without self confidence you won't be winning any tournaments any time soon...
|
|

My goal was to end day 3 with 500,000 in chips, but I fell way short with 174,000...
|
|
|
A Quick Update...
|
|
|
That, and Kameo on X-BOX 360, Jamie Lynn-Sigler, a horrible flight, the Bellagio main event, and my book...
|
|
|
I just watched it and this is what I thought of it...
|
|
|
The following blog is about everything bit poker. hockey, football, and TV...
|
|
|
Otherwise known as Thanksgiving I guess...
|
|
|
Another fun packed Weeked at Daniel's and great news about FCP... U.S. Players welcome!
|
|
|
I got a little frustrated today about the event structure, but I surely didn’t let it distract me from my play as I put in a solid effort today…
|
|
|
Good news, there is actually some poker content in the following blog...
|
|
|
Starting a new Thursday night tradition hopefully...
|
|
|
I've been doing a lot of vegging, but haven't felt like writing recently...oh, and I played poker too...

The Monopoly game televised...
|
|
|
Too many people got the wrong idea from my last blog...
|
|
|
Been watching lots of TV, and tomorrow I will be playing on TV in a fun Pro-Am event scheduled to air on ABC...
|
|
|
My trip here in Toronto is coming to an end...
|
|
|
This trip hasn’t been going according to plan, but that doesn’t mean that the time is lost…
|
|
|
Tampa Bay was a blast, the golf game is looking up, and the floor staff at the WSOP totally destroyed the integrity of the main event...
|
|
|
I be chillin’ in Tampa Bay, and so far things have been pretty cool…
|
|
|
It's been a while...
|
|
|
Another huge turnout in LA, plus a night at the Comedy Stop, and a response from the WPT in regards to the stupid lawsuit...
|
|
|
24, Breakfast Club, I'm kind of a racist, and my recent vacation to San Diego...
|
|
|
I'm on vacation in San Diego for a few days of R and R...
|
|

A whole bunch of random topics including behavioral profiling, and what would a blog be without some lawuit talk?

|
|
|
My Protégé, Brian Fidler, is exceeding expectations in a big way…
|
|
|
I'm amazed at how well my protege, Brian Fidler, is doing in just his second big time event...
|
|
|
We had another awesome crew of people come out for another Weekend at Daniel's and I think it's safe to say that everyone had a great time...
|
|
|
I golfed (no surprise there), spent an afternoon with a nice family, and am now preparing for a fun packed weekend...
|
|
|
That's all I can even think about right now... I'm totally obsessed with golf...
|
|
|
Whether it be poker or golf, I've been gambling pretty hard recently...
|
|
|
Last night's session at the Bellagio put me over a million this year in the big game...
|
|
|
I woke up at 6:00am and was awake for the next 24 hours shooting poker shows and playing in the big game...
|
|
|
This past weekend I felt like I was in the movie American Pie "The Wedding" when some old friends from high school were in town for a wedding...
|
|
|
Recently I've been living the life I'd always dreamed of when I first started grinding it out in little rooms across Toronto...
|
|
|
This should really be three blogs but I've been too busy to get them done...
|
|
|
Man, I've really been living it up lately and am really enjoying life...
|
|
|
Since being home from Toronto I've been relaxing and taking time for myself...
|
|

I have never worked so hard on anything and been so satisfied than I have this week..

|
|
|
I just put in a solid session of writing and man does that take a load off...
|
|
|
That about sums up my first day at the WPT Championship...
|
|
|
I spent the day relaxing and studying for the start of the tournament tomorrow. Also, some FCP News you'll all want to know about...
|
|
|
I forgot how much more I enjoy playing mixed games rather than the the same game over, and over, and over, and over again...
|
|
|
I put in another 28 hours of poker on the show as well as three more hours playing in the dark at the Bellagio...
|
|
|
Erick Lindgren won the tournament today at the Bellagio and we celebrated that night with him and some of the Gonzaga boyz...
|
|
|
I've been on a bad streak of getting cold decked...
|

|

Man, I really thought I was cruising right along until disaster hit...
|
|
|
FCP Announces The Poker Classic with a guaranteed prize pool of $5,000,000. Along with that announcement, comes the "Spring Has Sprung Reload Bonus." All that, and a funny phone call I just had with a telemarketer, poor guy, lol...
|
|
|
That basically gives you a rough outline of what this blog is all about...
|
|
|
I'm ready to play some poker...
|
|
|
This blog is all about poker, so if that doesn't interest you, well... you can skip it!
|
|
|
Yup, that is officially my new nickname as I haven't left the house in... when was it? Hmmm, oh well, I don't remember!
|
|
|
My secret trip is over and I'm back at home and lovin' it...

A bitter sweet result for me against my good friend Evelyn Ng...

Two straight days of golf and I'm not even all that soar!
|

It looks like I have a nice little stretch ahead where I'll be home in Las Vegas...
|
|
|
No poker content whatsoever, just a lot of opinions on a wide variety of topics...
|
|
|
I've literally just been having too much fun while in L.A. and I'm ready to get some rest...
|
|
|
I just spent a few days doing the town in L.A. and I guess I can understand why people live here after all...
|
|
|
The Cardplayer.com/Bodog Awards and the L.A.P.C...
|
|
|
OK, so I did get a little sleep, but it didn't really feel like it...
|
|
|
I have been beyond busy over the last few days...
|
|
|
FCP Weekend at Daniel's II is officially in the books and I think it's safe to say that everyone involved had an awesome time…

|
|
After being on the road for all of January I finally had a chance to play for a few hours down at the Bellagio...

|
|
|
I wrote in the forums that when I won my next tournament the title of the blog would be a simple yet clear response to the haters...
|
|
|
I had a roller coaster day, up, down, and up again on the leaderboard, but ended the day in excellent shape...
|
|
|
Day two is officially in the books and with 27 players remaining I sit in 5th place with 140,200...
|
|
|
I know, I know, shocking isn't it?
|
|
|
This blog is going to seem pretty random and pretty scattered...
|
|
|
I've watched Tennis on television before, but it's just nothing like being there live...

That might have been the toughest run I've been through in a tournament...

The way things are going I wouldn't be surprised if the phrase "Merry Christmas" becomes illegal...

|
|
I've been on the phone all day about the WPT e-mail and it's release, and I'm really happy about the result...
|
|
|
I'm a lot more focused on playing poker recently and really have missed playing limit hold'em. There's that, and a whole bunch of other random thoughts in this blog including homosexuality, Paula Abdul, and a major issue with the WPT...
|
|
|
I really do, probably the most annoying afternoons are those spent waiting in line at the bank...
|
|
|
In a previous blog I mentioned that the future of mixed game poker is in jeapordy, but after tonight, I'm not so sure...
|

A lot of money has been raised this week for a very good cause...
|
|
|
I went to the Leafs/Habs game tonight and I still can't believe what I did...
|
|
|
I just had yet another day where nothing seemed to go right...
|
|
|
It has been a while since I entertained guests, but I just had to show off my new TV!
|
|
|
The comedy festival is in town and I had a chance to catch one of the shows...
|
|
|
Combining props and poker raises your level of intensity to new highs...
|
|
|
Doesn't it go something like, "what can go wrong will go wrong?" I dunno, but it's something like that...
|
|
|
The Poker Superstars III is underway and in between heats I had a chance to have dinner with Jeffrey Pollack who now runs the WSOP...

|
|
I put in an eight hour session today playing no limit hold'em and am really happy with my focus and performance...

It was a very bizarre evening at the poker tables for me last night in more ways then one...
