Daniel Negreanu was known for being good at poker, Winner of six World Poker Series (WSOP) bracelets and two World Poker Tour (WPT) titles. The poker ranking service Global Poker Index recognized Daniel Negreanu as the best poker player of the year 2014. What if he plays poker in a btc-based gambling site, will he manage to defeat an algorithm and bring a lot of profit?

Nice question but I don't know, is there any news or invitation or statement that he's longing to try btc-based poker sites?

He buys bitcoin in the year 2017 but I don't think he uses it for gambling, or maybe he tried at least. It pops up in my mind since Negreanu was very famous now because of being a title holder so I think it's possible? but there are chances that he won't because there's no bluff in algorithm haha.  ;D

It he is going to play at other players then there's a chance that can beat them. But if you are saying a algorithm or casino's colluding against him? Then definitely he doesn't have a shot at winning in my opinion.

But I agree that he is one of the best, reading the cards of his opponents is just eerie and even his contemporaries are amazed as how Daniel 'see' their card.

I am not so sure that he will follow in the footsteps of gambling where Btc is based, because he is comfortable with his own zone without having to try anything else and chances are he will buy Bitcoin as an investment not for gambling, I just guess and never know what he will do it in the future, maybe crypto-based gambling will be very famous if he takes part in this game.

I do believe he has skills in poker and even in cryptocurrency or blockchain poker he can still win. Though 2014, is a very long time ago and I don’t really know if some other person has break that records. We are seeing many blockchain pokers sites this days and I don’t know how many of them has good players that are making it big.

There is no need to defeat an algorithm in poker in a bitcoin based casino as the game of poker is the same everywhere you play.

He cannot do nothing is this algorithm gives him cards which are 80% losing cards as you cannot beat a computer controlled game.No one can do nothing in this event.

Gambling sites wont let that happen, there is simply too much money involved. As long as they can control what cards the player get they can favour the algorithm. Additionally, an algorithm is not prone feelings and greed, which is a massive advantage in playing poker. Concerning all that together is next to impossible that Daniel would win such a game.

What do you mean by defeating the algorythm? Is there a certain skill that can help you know what card will be delt next? You don't play online poker with strategy to beat the RNG. This is ridiculous if someone has that approach.
What you are suggesting is that anyone, in order to profit online, must cheat the RNG algorythm otherwise he is doomed as every crypto poker room will cheat him.
If this is the case why you ask if he has any chance to profit? Obviously if he plays against a person that can cheat by looking into his cards or having rigged the RNG then noone can beat the cheater.
While gambling with poker online you need to put a lot of trust to the party and the staff involved that provide the game.

Lol at the suggestion that Negreanu is the best poker player in the world.  But if somebody was new to the whole scene, I'd understand why he would think that...  But no.  Negreanu is def not the best in the world.  There's not even an argument.

I think that is different if Daniel Negreanu or known as the best poker player in the world, but that is a different algorithm. Probably Negreanu is a good poker card reader through the eyes he will know the opponent's cards and take advantage of it. When it comes betting poker in the site and I don't think if it is will works really hard in defeat other online opponents which you didn't know if they are a real player or just a computer programmed already. Well, this is only my opinion but who knows that man will break the record again and will be the great poker online base on bitcoin.

He is just one of the most famous because of his sponsorships and his charisma.  I only know a handful of professional poker players myself and him and Phil are the two biggest names on television.

Really he bought? was that the peak during all time high at end of 2017?

Algo's against a popular poker player, well yeah you can't beat the system.
