When reading my emails a few days ago, I was shocked to find one telling me that a column I’d written was the basis for an article by Daniel Negreanu. Unfortunately, his piece pulled apart the column I wrote in PokerPlayer, Issue 12 when I talked about the size of pre-flop raises. He was pretty critical and, despite agreeing with a few basic principles, I felt he’d completely misunderstood what I’d written.

Now I have a lot of respect for Daniel Negreanu – it’s hard not to with his status in the game. But it would be nice, if when criticising someone, he could read the piece he’s criticising a bit more thoroughly.
