DNegs To Hellmuth: "You Talk Smack And Don't Back It Up"

DNegs To Hellmuth: “You Talk Smack And Don’t Back It Up”

After heading home without the purple jacket from the recent Poker Masters event, Daniel Negreanu humbly admitted he needs to work on his game.

He revealed that he feels currently outmatched by the talented young pros on the circuit and that he needs to work hard to improve in order to get back into the top 20 poker players in the world.

Oct-Dec I will be working really hard on my poker game. It’s time. The top players today are just too good and I need to improve and I will.— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) September 20, 2017

If I had to rank my current skill level against the best I’d say I’m in the top 100. My goal by Jan 2018 it to crack the top 20.— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) September 20, 2017

I’m not embarrassed to say I don’t think I’m as good as these guys. They are unreal. In order to improve you have to humble yourself & learn— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) September 20, 2017

I was the best NLH tourney player in the world in early 2000’s. I truly believe that. I’m inspired to be able to compete with the best now.— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) September 20, 2017

@RealKidPoker Not many people are, hit the lab hard & get back after it. You have the heart & desire to make it happen papi lfg— gN TGGP 🚀🚀🚀 (@Joeingram1) September 20, 2017

But then things escalated quickly when Phil Hellmuth got involved asking Negreanu for a list of players who he thinks would beat him at NLH.

Here’s just some of the tweets to give you a taste of the spat with the Poker Brat — but really you need to go to Twitter to see it for yourself.
