Daniel Negreanu

Daniels career took off when he won two events at the Foxwoods in 1997 earning him $133,600. He was thereby named the best all-round player. The following year he also won a world series of poker pot-limit event earning him $169,460. This also made him the youngest bracelet winner until his record was beaten in 2004. Due to the winnings at this early age he was given the nickname “Kid Poker”, a handle that is still well used today even thought he is not a kid anymore.

His series of winnings continued and he won two World Poker Tour events and two World Series of Poker bracelets. In 2004 he was named the World Series of Poker player of the year.
Daniel also owns his own poker skin, called Full Contact Poker. He started the site in late 2005 and it also features the official blog of Daniel Negreanu. If you want to play against him he uses the nick “KidPoker” on his poker room.

When Daniel doesn’t play poker he writes for the Card Player Magazine, in which has written over 100 columns. He has contributed to the strategy section of Doyle Brunson’s book “Super System 2”. Currently he is also writing his own book named “Daniel Negreanu’s Power Poker Strategy”. The book will be pretty much like Super System 2, but it will use fresh material from several writers and is set to hit the shelves in early 2007.
