Is the new generation better than the “old school” players?

According to Daniel Negreanu, it is obvious that “old school” is not as good as the new generation when it comes to reading live tells. Even though it has been one of the strongest arguments for a generation of players who grew up playing mainly live poker, he disagrees with that assumption.

Therefore, it is not surprising that multiple poker players replied to this highly controversial tweet. Phil Hellmuth was amongst the first ones to express his opinion:

Daniel Negreanu has experienced both: some best live poker players of all time and some of the best online poker pros. He has been playing live poker for more than 20 years and feels like that’s more than enough experience to make such an assumption.

Patrik Antonius discussing live tells with Daniel Negreanu

Patrik Antonius stepped into the discussion before things might get to heated between Hellmuth and Negreanu.

He argues that it is difficult for a player to make a strong play at the table if he is mainly thinking in a mathematical way.

Negreanu replied and stated that there are multiple poker pros who can actually do both: combining mathematical knowledge and live tells.

Antonius was certainly not fully convinced by Daniel’s arguments and Negreanu replied:

Mike McDonald also had something to add to the discussion…

and tweeted an epic bluff in a 5bet pot against Negreanu:

Fellow poker pro Martin Jacobsen was impressed by Negreanu’s tweet and asked him about the player who has impressed him most:

It is obvious that Negreanu’s tweet has huge discussions amongst poker players. Many players of the “old” generation were certainly not really agreeing with him, however, there were also many younger professionals who agreed with I’m.
