Negreanu dissing Annie Duke
DocHoliday
I just read this excerpt from a new book coming out called "Aces ands Kings"
mentioning that Daniel Negreanu said some pretty bad stuff about Annie Duke here
on RGP, can anyone past it in here or put a link where I can read exactly what
he said?
In the tight-lipped world of high-stakes poker, he developed a reputation as a
bigmouth, writing a candid monthly column in Card Player magazine and posting
frequently to the popular online bulletin board rec.gambling.poker. To the
public, he was an approachable everyman, writing openly about "party day" and
his troubles with alcohol, but he occasionally stepped on toes when he voiced
strong opinions about other pros.
In one notorious example, Negreanu posted a blistering takedown of Annie Duke,
commenting on everything from her table behavior to her personal hygiene. The
diatribe stemmed from Negreanu's close friendship with Jennifer Harman, who he
believed was the best female player in the world, despite persistent media
reports awarding that title to Duke. In his post, Negreanu didn't name Duke, but
the target was clear to everyone in the poker community. Howard Lederer, Duke's
older brother, posted a lengthy response defending his sister. He closed by
writing: "I will, from now on, ignore your entire existence, unless, of course,
I am trying to bust you at the poker table. You have crossed the line, and I
don't really care if you ever come back."

All I know is it had something to do with her not wearing shoes at the poker
table and sitting on her feet...I dont think its too much to ask to put on
clothes.

Danny was drunk at the time. He sobered up a few days later and apologized.

he's a little shithead with a big mouth, he's also a raging liberal and could
easily be confused as being gay. how can he make fun of someone else's clothes
when his attire makes him look like a fag?. i expected nothing less of what he
proves everyday.
but i guess he is a hell of a poker player and in the end thats all that
matters.
