Daniel Negreanu vs Doug Polk (2 Viewers)

[ChipEnvy]

I think you are talking about all in EV. There was someone tracking that for DNegs. Yeah that number would way lower at the end of the challenge. Id say closer to 100K. It still doenst account for the other $1M he lost though so I think the point is kind of moot.

Edit. The final All in EV numbers have been tallied and the range you quoted was correct. -$256.8K. Still down around $950k if you want to adjust for that.

Wouldn't that be a $500K swing though. Take $256K away from Doug and add $256K to Daniel? Or is that already taken into account? Not insignificant but it definitely doesn't change the outcome of the match.

Not a 500k swing. just the amount.

Negreanu is going to take on Phil Hellmuth in a heads up match now. This came about after Hellmuth criticized Negreanu's play against Polk.

The same format as against Antonio?

Didn’t PH coach Daniel?

Also, Phil has agreed to take on many people according to his comments on Twitter.

Negreanu dumps a million to Polk to win two million against hellmuth? That is some serious 4D chess .

Haven’t paid close attention to this but I think Hellmuth is talking about heads up SnGs? Not as interesting IMO but still worth a watch

I agree but the matches against Antonio were surprisingly enjoyable

Phil didn't coach Daniel. That's just shit Daniel was talking as a joke, because Hellmuth is still old school exploitative and Daniel was training with all that GTO / solvers stuff.

I'm fairly certain that isn't going to be televised here in Middle Tennessee.

Sounds like it’s time to call your local satellite provider and request...nay, DEMAND that TSPN be brought to a television set near you!

Don't get me started on our most recent "negotiations" with Comcast...

It may be too much for even the "bullshit" thread.

Phils says yes but it has to be on his terms which typically what I have seen are pretty boring terms in actual play.

That comes from this session - totally worth 7:40. hilarious. Not sure why the last hand is on that video - you can stop it after the rant after the 3rd hand

That is interesting. My take is that Polk just outplayed DNegs. Polk turns the screw one more time.

outplayed is an understatement. he was like a wrecking ball.

Upswing poker sales going through the roof right now

 

[Pgheddie]

Also, if dnegs didn't care, why was he losing his mind during the post match interviews?

Doug won? I have to find that somewhere online to watch.

@ChipEnvy. Have a read of that I think you will appreciate the analysis. It does a great job of explaining how most of the money was won and lost.

lol incredible.

doug was very secretive of all the side bets and I can understand why. was probably more invested in side bets than the actual game.

 

[Frogzilla]

I think one of the streams it was mentioned lots of the side bets were escrowed in Bitcoin...if true that certainly didn’t hurt
