Daniel Negreanu sat down with Chance Kornuth for a sprawling conversation covering everything from the latest WSOP controversies to the enduring art of reading live tells.

He doesn’t shy away from naming names, discussing Martin Kabrhel, William Kassouf, and even his own beef with Phil Hellmuth. According to Negreanu, the modern era of solver-driven strategy is a far cry from the golden days.

He goes into detail about studying with younger players, the shifting prestige of WSOP bracelets, and what it takes to stay on top. As for the cheating scandals and online poker integrity, Negreanu is blunt about the challenges the industry faces.

“The best way to study poker today is not the same as it was ten years ago. You have to adapt if you want to win.”

By the end, he offers advice to aspiring grinders and reflects on his own legacy, all with the practiced candor you’d expect from a poker legend.
