Daniel Negreanu bases Mike Matusow on Twitter, gets bashed back by community for "going too far"

The presidential election of 2016 is reaching its final stage in the USA and the atmosphere is really starting to heat up between supporters of both candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Many people are turning to social media to show their support for their candidate, as Daniel Negreanu, who has over 400,000 followers and is a fully supporting Hillary Clinton.

Daniel Negreanu might have gone too far though. It all started with comment from Eric Seidel, who tweeted "If Trump wins and gets his hands on nuclear codes it can well be the end of the civilisation which we know." Matusow responded, and Negreanu followed. You can see entire conversation below:


It is Mike Matusow that has the nickname ‘The Mouth’, but that comment caused an outburst in poker community - many people are saying Negreanu went out of line, especially given Matusow’s history of personal problems of drug abuse.

What do you think?

1. Those are not Seidel's words, he is quoting this article: (http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/donald-trumps-ghostwriter-tells-all)

2. Mike is joking and I think most people would agree with that.

3. Daniel's comment is pretty aggressive, especially compared to Mike's tweet.

There are probably some deeper issues in their relationship, doesn't seem *to me* that Mike and Daniel are on good terms even previous to this incident.

EDIT: *

We don't really know their relationship and they have every right to be jerks towards each other

0 to 100 real fast

LOLLLLLL

What DooMeR said.

I mean whatever, Matusow s move s pretty amateurish considering he was a coke mule . DN s a joke regardless of what the situation is and prior to that anyway, its what happens when mediocre people get a lot of power in a community

in Matusows defense thinking Trump will start a nuclear war is pretty stupid, Hillary is probably way more likely to do a thing like that.

yup, i agree.

How recent is that picture of Daniel?

In the last video I saw of him, he purchased a full head of hair.

In the picture you posted, he looks like he's going bald again.

Well said. I've always felt this way about Daniel "teh hareplugz" Negreanu, and I'm always surprised about how people seem to disregard what a tool he is.

Yea, still can't believe how Daniel gets any respect. He's such a moron

Its only natural, he s the face of poker basically at this point. And DN does make a good first impression, he s def marketable and casuals wouldnt observe the scene so closely to understand his stupidity

lol daniel may or may not be a sociopath =P

Spotted typo. Eric Lindgren =/= Erik Seidel.

DN is a coorporate bitch that would suck Amaya straight away and swallow it. His comment wasnt a joke ... He's spreading his shitty opinions everywhere

He understands one thing tho, never bit the hand that is feeding you :D

I agree mostly (not a troll) - but i think with that PS patch and all the international media exposure, he feels like he can say whatever he wants in general...

I would call Daniel many things, but never mediocre, a shill or a sociopath (wtf)

If Siedel has a fried brain, how the hell would he win all those high rollers?

Daniel is definitely an amaya shill. Kinda mediocre at poker as well (at least compared to the elite level of players he portrays himself to be on. Not really a sociopath though

Look at your own brain.

Pretending you want to be doing everything in your powers to empower the game you love and then doing the exact opposite cause you get paid to do so like a little bitch is by default a definition of mediocrity imo.If you sell the things you stand for, for money , there s not much more room to be a weak individual.

Daniel has made a career off his charisma. He has the ability to do make an incredibly bad play on the poker table and then, with a big smile, talk his way into making people think he had a good reason to do so, i.e. "paying for information".
