What do you do when you want people to say nice things about you? Produce a list of your top 10 legends of the game and leave your own name out, of course! Well, that’s one reason Daniel Negreanu may have had when he named Doyle Brunson, Stu Ungar and the rest of his favourites – with one or two slightly surprising names among them.

Well, nothing too unusual in that list – except for the omission of Kid Poker himself of course, as his fan club was quick to point out…

…and inevitably there were ‘what about such-and-such?’ comments, the man who helped spark the modern poker boom with his 2003 Main Event win cropping up once or twice…

…and England’s ‘legendary Devilfish’ getting a vote too…

…while some were looking for Negreanu to rise to the bait when they tweeted…

…events of this week cementing Ferguson’s place in top 10 anti-heroes of the poker world, and almost certainly very high up the list in Negreanu’s book at least.

The perhaps younger generation of Negreanu’s fans struggled with the list at times, one of the most famous of all poker players not ringing a bell for one poster…

…and the lack of females was picked up on too…

While some thought Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan should be replaced with Negreanu instead…

We all have our own idea of poker legends, but it’s hard to argue with Negreanu’s list – but of course people will anyway!

When we did a piece on the release of KidPoker a few days ago, it left me excited to go sit down and watch the documentary. After all, Daniel Negreanu has an interesting origin story, and he is one of the few poker players who can come across as natural in front of the cameras.

There’s also a fair bit of drama in his past; with plenty of bad behaviour, rivalries, feuds, and general shenaniganising. He’s someone who is outspoken away from the table and a bit of a showboater too, but still manages to be charismatic and, in general, not entirely unlikeable.

In short he’s an ideal candidate for this sort of rags to riches to megabucks story.

The Setup

KidPoker tells Daniel Negreanu’s story starting from his middle-class origins in Toronto, through his school years, to him taking up poker, moving to Vegas, and next falling in with Jennifer Harman and Co. Then we get to see his his growing success and finally his move into being a sort of poker spokesman.

There is an attempt to frame the story around his induction speech into the Poker Hall of Fame at Binion’s, but that theme sort of disappears early and doesn’t resurface until ten minutes before the end.

Otherwise, the plot, as it were, is told in a straightforward manner, mostly by Daniel himself but also through interviews with family and other poker notables, including Phil Ivey, Jennifer Harman and a rather grovelling panegyric from Antonio Esfandiari.

Helmuth is notably absent, and no doubt is fuming somewhere about his lack of involvement in the film.

The Short Version

It really shouldn’t have taken much to make the documentary work, but with the exception of a few brief moments, I was bored by the whole thing.

As a piece of storytelling, it failed, skipping over the moments of conflict, failure, and drama as cursorily as its constant reassurance at each turn about a great guy Daniel really is, no matter what happens on the screen.

As a piece of journalism it fails too. I watched it with my ladyfriend whose interest in poker is limited to the occasional home game she is forced to take part in hosting. She came away saying she had learned nothing about poker or the poker world.

Which made sense as each time, and there are several, that Daniel decides to ‘relearn the game’ –buckling down to studying online play, or getting a book from the library– we get little more information than that. There is no real explanation of what the WSOP might be or mean, the Big Game is never mentioned except a quick reference to Daniel playing $2,000-$4,000 limits.

The obvious questions like: Why is he so good? and How was he different than every other player at the table? are not addressed. In the end, I came away knowing little more about Daniel than I knew from WPT player profiles and WSOP commentator banter.

Some of the weaknesses can be excused somewhat by the inexperience of the team. Francine Watson and Gary Davis do not have a world of documentary experience behind them and are both first time directors on this.

Which is not to say it is a disaster, as a documentary it is fairly solidly put together and largely competent, but at a level I might expect for a Channel 5 documentary not one on Netflix.

It is also shot well with the cinematography of a much slicker film, but as Mark Kermode says ‘beautifully shot’ is often code for dull, and in the end KidPoker just doesn’t do enough to justify its own existence.

Narrative Issues

In some ways, the problems are minor but they are pervasive.

Let's talk about the most significant aspect of the film: the storytelling. Look at how the piece is framed, opening on Daniel as he arrives at Binion’s in Vegas to accept his induction into the Poker Hall of Fame. Then we cut to an interview with Daniel where he talks about his childhood. The promise is that the story will be how he gets to the Hall of Fame, the way it will be told is through the speech.

Neither of those things comes true. In reality, the story is more about his development as a person
