Big Poker Losses

Poker fans had probably expected it to arrive much sooner, but Daniel Negreanu finally lost his cool after yet another cooler-filled losing session against Doug Polk in their Grudge Match of the Century.

1. With the game on the rise and setting its roots firmly in the sub-continent, we decided to explore the biggest losses in poker history. And yes, there is a lot of money involved: #5 Brian Townsend.
2. Hey man, your story hits very close to home for me. I also had big wins, and was care free when I started. I play blackjack which is a much different beast than poker,but still gambling. At my best point I was up 45k in profit with very little losses to my name. I've now been trying to quit. At this point in time I have my rent money.

Dealing with Big Wins then Big Losses I played this saturday and i bought in with 2k and added few hundred chips here and there. I was at 9k at one point (5-10 NL) and I wanted to leave but I felt as if I shouldn't cause I was only there for 1 hour. With a nickname like Vegas Dave, one has to assume that big losses are just going to be part of the experience. This sports bettor, whose actual name was Dave Oancea, was known for being showy with his gambling on social media. Unfortunately for Vegas Dave, he was about to get a big dose of harsh reality in 2016.

DNegs, trailing by close to $700k before this battle, had just lost a massive $117k pot that would end the day – has ace-king running into Polk’s pocket aces, yet another expensive cooler for the Canadian.

A few minutes later, as he joined Jeff Platt and Pastrik Tardif for his post-match interview, the air turned blue as DNegs finally snapped…

“What the fuck’s going on?” Negreanu asked. “Do I have to start every motherfucking, cock-sucking session flopping or turning a motherfucking straight… when he fucking makes a flush?' The rant continued, “What the fuck, dude? I have trips, he has a fucking flush, I turn a straight, he makes a fucking flush.”

The day had started with a brutal cooler, DNegs losing a full $40k stack when his turned straight ran into a turned Polk flush.

Then he referenced that fateful final hand that could have turned a big loss into a break-even session had he hit his flopped flush…

“I pick up ace-king…Maybe one fucking time this guy could not hold, with aces in a cooler spot..?”

Of course it’s far from the first time Negreanu has lost the plot and descended into an expletive-laden rage.

Earlier this year he went off on one during the online WSOP, again a NSFW video that went viral, with a text version below for those who don’t want Negreanu’s swearing to upset the kids or cost them their jobs!

“It’s on me? What the fuck man, motherfucking shit….Come on. Fuck. It says it’s on me over here but I’ve got no fucking cards…I’ve got a fucking big stupid thing…come on dude, what is up with this software?”

Of course, the current Grudge Match against Polk came about after Negreanu snapped at Polk’s constant poking and digs aimed at him, a meltdown compilation of the GGPoker ambassador the final straw.

With a few thousand hands still to go before Negreanu can call it quits, he’ll be hoping for some run-good to turn things around – otherwise we might be looking at a rather large collection in the swear jar!
