Something Kowalski said on another thread got me thinking. Whilst MM emphasises the use of negs whilst opening a set, there is the potential that DLV people within the group (in the form of negs that are a bit too harsh) is something a person of low value might do to in order to seek approval.

On the other hand, MM is very useful for aspiring beginners such as myself who are going to take time to become natural (we've all got to start somewhere right?). Are we wise to incorporate the neg into our game?

It's probably worth mentioning that Style is not a fan of the neg. And he's one of the best in the world.

Discuss!
