It might be easy to mistake Daniel Negreanu with Ed Norton when you glance at him and although they both have a history with poker—Negreanu a poker pro of course and Norton in the poker flick Rounders—the two are individual entities.

Negreanu has been a well-known poker professional with his face gracing a number of PokerStars ads and his name attached to a number of poker articles.

We recently had an opportunity to talk to Negreanu, a.k.a. Kid Poker, at the recent B.C. Poker Championships at the River Rock Casino in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada (see how he did below).

Negreanu has been playing poker for awhile and reminisced about how it all began.

"I started as a teenager in Toronto [Ontario, Canada] when I was about 17-years old," begins Negreanu.

"I used to play Snooker at the pool halls and through that I met some guys who said, 'Let's play a house game,' and we went and did that and it started to become a regular thing."

Besides the UIGEA, one of the topics that raises the ire of poker players recently is the World Series of Poker's main event final table format change, where there is a three-month delay.

A lot of pros said that the delay would give an unfair advantage to amateurs as it would allow for more prep time, not so said Negreanu.

"I think it worked amazingly well," explained "Kid Poker."

"We filled the theatre with thousands of people to watch a live poker event, which would seem boring, but everyone showed up and I think it worked great because ratings were up 50 percent over last year."

Besides commercials an poker columns, Negreanu is a regular on NBC's Poker After Dark and he says that the experiencing is different from tournament situations.

"Poker After Dark is laid back, the show you see is a little more real because you have a chance to see a lot of the hands and a lot of the table banter that goes on."

Maybe talking to WinnerOnline was good karma because after the interview, Daniel Negranu would go on to outlast 689 other players in the B.C. Poker Championships' main event to take first place in the event.

"Being Canadian myself, playing and winning the B.C. Poker Championships is extra special to me," Negreanu said after winning.

Here's one looking at you "Kid."
