When it comes to Canadian stars in poker, Daniel Negreanu shines the brightest of any.

'Kid Poker' has six World Series of Poker bracelets and two World Poker Tour championship titles to his name, but there's something unique about his game that you often don't see in poker players.

While poker is usually a very quiet game that doesn't feature a lot of talking at the table, Negreanu's the exact opposite as he loves talking at the table.

In fact, the talking was part of his game as it allows him to gather valuable information from his opponents that will help him decide to fold or call.
