He highlighted that one of the main mistakes amateurs make is spending more than they earn. He also mentioned that players nowadays are much smarter and the game has evolved significantly over the past decade.
Negreanu shared that he used to play limit hold'em $80/$160 with a bankroll of $2,500, which he now considers a mistake. He emphasized the importance of proper bankroll management and realistic expectations in poker.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes.
