@2TheDeath
Yup, novice players will get themselves into a lot of trouble following this advice.

wtf i watched this video to see the fucking outcome and it never came… FUCKER!!

Seanyboyh said, in July 30th, 2009 at 9:53 am

this advice is definitely good but only for advanced players. You try and get a weak loose or calling station type player to fold an overpair by bluffing that river and you are burning money.

ojideagu said, in July 30th, 2009 at 10:30 am

Err just becaue he’s a bracelet winner does not mean everything he says is correct or the best strategy. Infact small ball has been shown to be merely a week version of a loose aggressive style with small bets. If small ball was so great it would have been adopted by a lot more players. That’s why Daniel is being creamed at High stakes cash games by the better players.

have you ever noticed that if you make a successful bluff, then show it, the rest of the game people will assume you are always bluffing? can be very usefull:)

Deimnos said, in July 30th, 2009 at 11:40 am

That is possible and i speak from experience from experience; Managed to bluff my opponent that had trips from the flop; had both straight and flush draw, but i didnt get it till the end, however i managed to bluff him into folding three of a kind:D
Showed him the bluff afterwards too:)

So if you can read an opponent, you can get away with a play like this, however, just as Daniel said, not always

Deimnos said, in July 30th, 2009 at 12:07 pm

Actually, that can work IF YOU READ YOUR OPPONENT RIGHT, i’m talking from personal experience. I once had an excellent night palying poker with friends and got into a hand you just described: i had flush and straight draw, but in the end, i did not get it. My only opponent that lasted to the river had trips from the turn, and very high trips. With the final big bet(i bet big throughout the hand), managed to make him fold:))
I won the pot then showed him my bluff:))

its not meant for microstakes, hell his subscription for his site is probably double a micro’s bankroll.

Fahnestock said, in July 30th, 2009 at 12:38 pm

play better players{higher levels). Most of the best players in the world are online players anyways.

goug40 said, in July 30th, 2009 at 1:00 pm

Your right about the mistake about the spades but there are only 17 outs. Your counting the 4 of clubs as two outs when it is only one..

checkfoldcallraise said, in July 30th, 2009 at 1:48 pm

lol at people who disagree with a multiple wsop bracelet winner like negreanu. i became a better player with better results over the years just watching and listening. i also have great people reading ability which is good because in order to learn to be a great player you have to sort of be good at it.

rigbst said, in July 30th, 2009 at 1:51 pm

2 3′s? lol why isnt it 3 3s! how about you guys stfu! lol

AhDaaa said, in July 30th, 2009 at 2:51 pm

its 17 outs..daniel is spot on.
9 clubs
3 fours
2 fives
3 threes

baschtiii said, in July 30th, 2009 at 3:39 pm

disagree. “4c” is a fd and a str8 out. i guess daniel knows how to count outs ;)

TheCornedbeefhasable said, in July 30th, 2009 at 4:09 pm

16 outs

TheCornedbeefhasable said, in July 30th, 2009 at 4:26 pm

actually there are only 16 outs
9 clubs
3 fours
2 fives
2 threes

yistackness said, in July 30th, 2009 at 5:06 pm

Does anyone else notice a mistake in the video? At 1:40 he mentions outs that can improve your hand on the river “3 threes, 2 fives, 3 FOURS, and 9 SPADES, equals 17 outs”… but there are 4 fours, and your outs are with clubs, not spades (unless your talking about phantom outs). So really, you have 18 outs. Comon Daniel, I expected better, lol (just kidding).

TheSilligirl said, in July 30th, 2009 at 5:46 pm

Sad that not everyone’s thinking your way. I would love to earn money on you.

mauricec87 said, in July 30th, 2009 at 6:26 pm

just ‘coz your a donk?

Ayoudell said, in July 30th, 2009 at 6:49 pm

I revisit this vid occasionally – this comment has 61 thumbs-ups now! No doubt trying these plays on players that can’t put down top pair with top kicker or overpairs, even on a very draw-heavy board, is a bad idea(but of course Daniel stresses this in the vid) If they’re holding stronger than one pair, fuggetaboutit ;-p

1classx said, in July 30th, 2009 at 7:01 pm

A real big “go fuck your whore mother” to anyone on this stupid site who thinks they’re qualified to critique/correct Daniel. Are you out of your stupid little mind you lousy worm? Daniel will kill you. Get your donk advice to yourself and your whore of a mother.

miro108 said, in July 30th, 2009 at 7:26 pm

Hi David , interesting clip with Kid Poker. From which video is this from? Also from what he says, this strategy doesn’t seem so easy in internet poker, right?

linglings10 said, in July 30th, 2009 at 7:42 pm

thanks danny boy for telliing your donkey tails

dial8675309 said, in July 30th, 2009 at 8:16 pm

great advice but i wouldnt recommend trying to bluff opponents who are pot committed that dont know how to click the fold button and are calling stations..these type of plays id recommend doing maybe 1/4 times or so and against tight players. You cant get predictable

Stevemasta3000 said, in July 30th, 2009 at 8:32 pm

yes,,, never try to bluff a maniac

and besides they could call you with low pairs and high cards, they can also call a preflop raise with undercards.

Even at a live cashgame, thats where I got hitted.

treezX said, in July 30th, 2009 at 8:39 pm

@sinan187 you know he tore into that itch like he was crazy soon as they cut to commercial haha

sinan187 said, in July 30th, 2009 at 11:10 pm

@ 1:25 he wanted to scratch his ass but thought shit im on tv

Jacobobi1 said, in July 30th, 2009 at 11:54 pm

he has Facebook, and he played Zanga Online poker through Facebook, at first i thought nah this cant be the real steve martin, and he never admitted to being the real steve martin, but his picture was real- i mean as if his wife took it. It was him in a pool with a baby it wasnt paparazzi taken it was legit. so that’s one true celeb story in my books.

bigbling83 said, in July 31st, 2009 at 12:02 am

LMAO thats pretty good.

milton2milton said, in July 31st, 2009 at 12:50 am

it is not legal! that’s why the sites you play in come from everywhere else in the world ,countries like russia, india, etc… by the way, you win once ( a thousand $ and then lose ), there’s no control or federal regulation on foreign sites, beware!

simonjeste said, in July 31st, 2009 at 12:53 am

under the influence of Ambien, he thought it was StudHi ;)

MylesM316 said, in July 31st, 2009 at 1:08 am

Hitler dreamed of Nazi Germany being what USA is today. Ultimate control and power over its citizens, tracking everything they do, control over what they do, and instilling fear to keep em in line. I work, but the extra couple hun a week from online is a big bonus to my pocket. TAX FUCKING FREE BABY!

pokerslut530 said, in July 31st, 2009 at 1:11 am

Depends on your state apparently. I have heard all Kentucky residents are no longer capable of connecting to various sites. There are a few other states as well.. I’m sure someone will chime in who knows the others.

richobenard said, in July 31st, 2009 at 1:58 am

lol, i bet he plays razz.

OrangeSFO said, in July 31st, 2009 at 2:17 am

I better stop playing then

oldmangrimis said, in July 31st, 2009 at 2:19 am

Also a new case has pass the court that said that one state could not shut down poker site.

Playing poker is legal, running a poker site from US is illegal.

oldmangrimis said, in July 31st, 2009 at 2:35 am

Can you site the law that make it illegal and please don’t site bill that has to to about shiping money from banks. Two diffrent things and becouse people don’t read the full info they make error like you have.

captainrock2002 said, in July 31st, 2009 at 2:49 am

lol, idiot.

hawtdewd said, in July 31st, 2009 at 3:04 am

Only if the site isn’t regulated by the Feds. Cyber Nazi’s.

hawtdewd said, in July 31st, 2009 at 3:15 am

Yes it is illegal to play poker online. Especially in America.

ugaistheteam said, in July 31st, 2009 at 3:20 am

It is not illegal to play poker online. Come back Steve.
