I like this concept. Love the hand histories. But we need some graphics to show the stack sizes! Key piece of information missing on almost all of these hand histories.

[moriorinvictus]

I can't imagine what a pain in the ass it must be to vlog during the WSOP grind. Much appreciated.

[llawma]

I've been into poker only for 6 months and studied everyday from different players. Dnegs is the most interesting teacher for me and the best period

[joshualongo]

Insane fold by 89 in the last hand. Mad props

[dilloncoop]

These breakdowns are insane, you remeber hands off the table down to the suits and exact betting sizes. That's so sick, amazing energy on the 9 10 off hand.

[YTSparty]

Seeing that you're starting to go full Addamo, I'd absolutely call you if I had a Q. The only thing I'd be afraid of is like AQ. But if I had a Q, knowing that you've suddenly become a bully, hands down I'd call. Bully = huge range. Honestly, the guy must have been playing to get in the money.

[juspagg]

I got damn love this concept. Especially how u lay it down, and Give me time to think about the situations and what would be my actions.

[Hanz_Moleman]

Daniel looks like a really sound chap, the type you could happily share a beer with and just have a genuinely pleasant conversation. In short, a really nice chap.

[jessenelson]

Missed you Daniel. Got so used to seeing your vlogs every day that I didn't know what to do while I was supposed to be working...

[nilslandis]

This video was the one I needed so I would understand how much knowledge you need to actually play poker. I fold & walk away. Thanks for saving me money and frustration! 😆

[seahawkblazing]

I would call! Your range is insane from there. Probably kings or Aces, set or bluff 😂 I couldn’t fold trips.

[nickreed]

My poker instincts say that you have middle pocket pair like 77-99 or a suited connector like 67s, 86s (mid pair). That betting sequence makes the most sense judging by the bet sizing. I just cant fold the QTs there vs you, especially if it's not on the bubble or any other special stage of the mtt. It's doubly unlikely that you have a better Q seeing that 3 Qs are accounted for.

[mitchybenny]

Was hoping you would do some more of these videos Daniel! Awesome. Top content. Wish more big time poker pros put the work in for the people like you do!

[flaco]

Thanks for the breakdowns @Dnegs, the influence you have in so many lives with each video you make has to be satisfying. That alone is a testimony to all your hard work. Keep it up brother!

[isentient]

YES! I guessed right. I knew you had to have an overpair on the hand at 16:00. Great call and I hope that guy with pocket tens folded.

[owenschilling]

Lol I don’t care how much “credit” D-Negs has, if I have a set of queens on the turn there’s no way I’m folding. Especially if I’m already invested in the pot

[yaronnir]

Hey Daniel, to your question in the video at 08:57 (I have paused the video so maybe you have answered it after).
UTG starts the raise, and you're in the cut off, so you're in late position, and your range is a little opened, BUT, as he was raising under the gun his range from this early position is limited, he can represent a high pair (9-A) or an AK, AQ, AJ and maybe A10s and maybe KQs and maybe some more hands which depends how is this player (loose, tight etc.)

your hand could be a pair, probably less than a pocket 9s otherwise you would have raised
your hand could be AQo, AJo/s, A10s, if you would have had AK you would have raised
your hand could be KQs, KJs, QJs

your apponent fold with Q10 where he hit the 3 of a kind, so he must have placed you with at least a Q and a kicker that is higher than his for that range i've noted above, could be KQ, AQ

Am I right?

[ΛΑΕΡΤΗΣΤ]

Thank u daniel 🙏🙏🙏 we love the hand breakdowns!Looking forward for part 2 💪

[TsavMemorai]

Love these ones! Very digestible and straight to the point. Keep them up!

[KT-ymcn]

How did he make the right fold? He called the flop with his Q, his hand improved with the same card on turn and he laid it down.

Seems to me you shouldn't call the flop, get the best card you could improve with, then fold because the screen says Daniel N
