The More You Talk

The more you talk, the more information you are giving to your opponents.  See for yourself.

Daniel Negreanu is normally a decent talker who keeps his opponents guessing, but this time he came off as a babbling amateur who gave his hand away because he couldn’t shut up.  Come to think of it, Negreanu usually waits until the action rests on him to start really talking it out.  This time the roles reversed and Antonio Esfandiari was the one thinking.  Daniel had woven a nice web until the end.

In a seperate aspect of the video, I had no idea Gabe Kaplan was such a Monday Morning QB.  Here he continues to boast on how obvious it is Antonio has Jacks.  I’d love to see how obvious these hands are when Kaplan can’t see the cards.
