Daniel Negreanu

Why does Daniel Negreanu have to have such a difficult name to spell? Is it because he is Canadian? Yes, yes I know he lives in Las Vegas now but you’d hard pressed to find another poker star with a name that gets as many mispellings as Daniels last name. I mean we have people searching for Daniel Nagranu, Negranu, Nagano, Negrano and lots of people want to know if he is gay? I don’t know, or care really but I do know that he is probably one of the most well known poker stars on the planet and he appears a genuinely nice guy.

Daniels online poker history. While we don’t know the full story, we do know that back in 2005 and 06 Daniel was very active in promoting his own online poker room called fullcontactpoker.com. While the poker room no longer exists, there is an active forum and website at the domain, and you can still see Daniels videos, blogs and the sort.

A few other places you can find Daniel online other than PokerStars.com is a new virtual training poker site called PokerVT.com. It is an online poker training site with training from Daniel Negranu ;) as well as other poker professionals.

Along with Daniel Negreanu, the biggest of the big name poker star that you can see endorsing PokerStars.net is Barry Greenstein. There are more pro’s like Greg Fossilman Raymer, Joe Hachem and the guy who kick started the poker boom, Chris Moneymaker but arguably it is Barry Greenstein who is the best known pro to endorse and play on the site.

If you’re like me and like watching degenerates (but kickass poker players) like Mike Matusow play online then you’re going to have to check out arch rival to PokerStars, FullTiltPoker.com. It is so fun to watch Mike blow through $40k in a couple hours that it just warms my heart to know that Mike can afford to blow through 40k playing online poker in a couple hours. Wait… maybe he can’t. Isn’t Mikey always busto?
