FTR AMA: Daniel Negreanu from Team PokerStars, Dec 12 @ 6 PM ET (Closed)

[Laurita]

Hi Daniel !!!
First of all I want to say I'm in love with you !!!
I can't believe you are going to read my message !!!
and best of all: answer my questions !!!

I admire the way you talk, I mean u talk honestly and without fear.

Here comes the MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION:

Some of us, before entering the online poker world, did some research to see where we were going to deposit our money. If it was all a scam, if poker sites invested in some sort of security, if there were rigged bots from the own site in tourneys that collected the players money... Considering that mobs were related to gambling from the beginning i thought online poker room owners weren't exactly Mother Teresa of Calcutta... all kinds of stuff came to my head...

I have played in PokerStars and didn't find anything irregular. I think it's a safe site.

After the Absolute Poker Cheating Scandal where there was a player that could see hole cards, I began doubting if this happened in the old administration of Full Tilt Poker too.

So I started to check the profit highstakes graphs of some players in www . highstakesdb . com

In a normal profit graph the player should have ups and downs like this one on pokerstars:
0Human0 on Pokerstars - Poker Player Ignat Liviu


Your highstake profit graph on pokerstars:
KidPoker on Pokerstars - Poker Player Daniel Negreanu



Gus Hansen's profit graph on Old Full Tilt
Gus Hansen on Full Tilt Poker - Poker Player Gustav Hansen


And here is Phil Ivey's highstakes profit graph on old Full Tilt poker site:
Phil Ivey on Full Tilt Poker - Poker Player Phil Ivey



Isn't it suspicious that he never had big downswing in all those years? ... someone that likes playing dices in casinos...

Considering that Full Tilt Poker was a Ponzi Scheme I think we have the right to be at least a little suspicious about if someone used his account to play seeing the hole cards.

I know he's your friend and that you defended him in the scandal.

Do you think that something similar to what happened in Absolute Poker could had been happening in old Full Tilt Poker?

Do you think Howard "The Professor" Lederer, Ray Bitar or Chris "Jesus" Ferguson would be capable of doing something like that?

Phil Ivey is the best poker player in the world and is a special case. I don't believe he was involved in anything shady in terms of his poker results, he simply is world class in every discipline and gets the money in the end.
