Following Victoria Coren's decision to quit PokerStars, Daniel Negreanu has weighed in on the debate about poker and casino gambling.

He wrote on his blog "I would personally feel like a hypocrite if I justified that it’s OK for me to take money from problem gamblers, but it's not OK for the casino to do the same."

How about neither?

Every time he opens his slimy little mouth I detest Negreanu a tiny bit more.

I'll hate him more than Vinnie Jones on July 9th 2016 if he maintains his current momentum.

Seen the new Stars pro?

What all this proves is a statement I first made about 10 years ago and have repeated many times since is definitely correct.

Whenever Daniel Negreanu says a prospective change in the industry "is for the good of poker" he actually means it is for the good of Daniel Negreanu.

Now I think anyone who has ever sneered, laughed or disagreed with me when I have expressed that view down the years owes me an apology.

And a pint.

Meh! I think you're wrong about the bolded bit. Lol.

Your mate Kendall thinks the sun shines out out of Negreanu's arse.

The truth is that he is actually more poisonous than Hellmuth.

It wasn't Negreanu, it was just the bolded bit I was sneering, laughing & disagreeing with.

Do you think that DNegs has done worse than Hellmuth? Hellmuth who kept on taking UB's money happily after the superuser affair?

[TightEnd]

I think its difficult to argue that DN isn't a very successful Pro for his site in terms of attracting players. As Keith's views show it may be a different story for the hardened poker player but completely disagree that you can bracket him with PH

I can think of few who work as hard and consistently for their site, whether you agree with his views or not, than DN

[The Camel]

Do you think that DNegs has done worse than Hellmuth? Hellmuth who kept on taking UB's money happily after the superuser affair?

It's pretty subjective.

Hellmuth is a whore, just like Daniel Colman said he is. But he embraces his whoredom. He'll do anything for a dollar bill

Butthere is no smoke and mirrors with Phil. He is an egomaniac and he knows he is.

Negreanu is self serving, devious and selfish. But tries to maintain the image he's an all round good guy.

I have thought he's a scumbag for years. Seems like the rest of the poker world is finally coming to the same conclusion about him.

'Bout time.

Are they? Regardless of your dislike for him, I think DN's got a pretty positive image on the whole to be honest.

but how representative is that?

as we saw on other recent issues, there is a lot of group think there, and a lot of very blinkered opinions

I wouldn't expect a casual poker player to dislike Negreanu, because he has been so successful at creating his image.

But among people who follows poker seriously, I think they are starting to see through his act.

Why should he be anything other than that?  He is a professional gambler.  Isn't that what the vast majority of people in any business are effectively?

[DaveShoelace]

What's the actual bad thing that he has done?

100% understand if people find him annoying, he is like marmite to listen to.

100% understand if you think he is self serving, but if you don't like that, you won't like most people.

100% understand if you fundamentally disagree with his worldview, think he is overly opinionated, his politics etc etc.

But what has he actually done that's so bad to call him devious and a scumbag? That's the sort of shit usually reserved for people who have really fucked someone over.

I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with you, you are totally entitled to hate the fella and he certainly invites people not to like him - I'm just intrigued because you always talk like he has actually done something specifically harmful which he should be repremanded for.
