Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like I was filming it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:37:41.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Cause you know, I do for my vlog,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:37:42.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I smashed the stick through it in the corner, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:37:43.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It's just, that was my like hit rock bottom moment.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:37:46.220
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And then I put the camera on me and I was like, all right,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:37:49.220
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'll let people see it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:37:51.220
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But mentally it was very difficult
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:37:52.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
because there was a feeling of hopelessness
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:37:53.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
where I was making good decisions.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:37:56.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like I genuinely felt like I'm playing really, really well.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:00.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But every time my money went in and my opponent's money
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:02.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
went in and say, I was 60%, 70%, 80%
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:04.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
for about a two week stretch, I lost every one of those.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:08.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And you start to wonder, you're like,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:11.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I can't win if I never win, you know, in these spots.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:13.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So it was difficult.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:16.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Luckily I have, you know, 20 odd years of experience
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:18.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
on how to deal with it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:20.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And so, as I said, I wake up the next day, ready to go.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:21.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So as if nothing happened.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:26.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
To a certain degree.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:27.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Obviously, you know, the more,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:28.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the more it happens in the higher vines,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:30.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like the one where I broke the selfie stick,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:32.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I lost 500,000 in that tournament, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:34.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And it was like the last card, it was painful.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:37.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I think you lost.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:38.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, that was great, that video.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:40.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I think he lost.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:43.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What led up to the selfie stick gate?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:45.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like what, you just lost your shit
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:47.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
for a, like a hundred milliseconds.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:49.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like it was very brief.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:53.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You're just like, what, the world wasn't making any sense.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:55.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like, how do I keep losing kind of thing?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:38:58.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
How did you, why did you lose your shit?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:00.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You should never really think like this,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:02.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
but part of me felt like I deserved to win this, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:03.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So part of me was like, listen,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:06.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I've lost so many in the last two weeks, all right.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:07.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Let, you know, the poker gods be kind to me right now.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:10.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Let me win this.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:12.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And it looked good.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:13.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I was in a great situation on the flop,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:14.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
great situation on the turn.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:17.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'm about to be a competitor.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:18.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'm going to be a contender in this tournament
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:20.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
to win a big prize pool and turn the whole thing around.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:21.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It's all there for the taking.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:24.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And then boom, the last card, it just, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:26.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
it was a couple of weeks of frustration
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:29.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in the moment of filming that I just had, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:31.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
sort of a visceral reaction, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:33.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and I smacked the, smacked the selfie stick.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:35.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And then like, I, it was, I see a corner, it's safe.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:37.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I threw the selfie stick on the ground.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:40.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And of course, social media blows up about how, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:41.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
it was a violent act, you know?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:45.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I mean, it's like, have you never watched sports?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:47.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Have you never seen a guy on the golf course
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:49.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
smack his club or throw their helmet?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:51.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like, you know, there was the,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:53.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
there's a guy, Justin Bonomo is a poker player.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:55.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And he's a super, how to, for lack of a better word,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:39:57.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
offended by everything.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:00.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And he was equating my throwing a stick on the ground
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:02.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
to violence against women, domestic abuse,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:04.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and the idea that like,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:07.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
this makes women feel unsafe to play poker.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:09.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And so that was kind of a running joke
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:12.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
for the last two weeks where every time I sat at a table,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:13.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the guys would be like, oh, I feel unsafe, I feel unsafe.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:15.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:19.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Can you take me through the hand?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:20.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Do you remember what the hand was?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:21.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like, what was the...
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:21.840
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, so it was a, you know, a player on the button raised.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:22.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
David Peters, very aggressive player.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:25.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
He went all in from the blind
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:27.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and I had a pair of pocket tens.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:29.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I went with my tens and he had queen 10 of spades.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:31.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I was good.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:34.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I have way the best hand.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:35.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And the flop was like king nine, three, one spade.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:37.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Turn was like the eight of spades.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:40.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So now he has a flush draw and the river was another spade.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:42.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So he caught spade, spade, and he made a flush.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:45.220
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Wow, but statistically you were winning the whole time.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:47.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, I was winning it up until the last card.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:50.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What did he go all in on?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:52.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Was it a bluff?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:53.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
He made what's considered like a pretty standard play
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:54.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in modern poker where, you know, a guy raised
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:57.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and he was just trying to pick up, you know, what was there.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:40:59.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And he ran into a hand in the big blind
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:41:01.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and you know, he got lucky.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:41:03.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So what was the throughout the strategy of preparation,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:41:04.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the strategy of play?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:41:08.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So you're playing so many days.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:41:09.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Are you trying to ignore the results
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:41:12.580
