Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in Toronto, I was the big fish.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:11.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But here, they were playing because of me.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:12.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I was the sucker.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:15.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I remembered every one of their faces.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:16.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And then I remember not having enough money
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:17.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
to get back to budget suites where I was staying.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:19.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I walked, you know, I walked.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:22.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And in that moment I was thinking about like,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:24.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is this something that I'll be able to do?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:26.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Am I good enough?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:28.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You know, what am I going to do now?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:29.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'm in Vegas, I don't know anybody and I have no money,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:30.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:34.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So that was certainly like what felt like a low point,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:34.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
walking back behind Paradise and Twain,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:37.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
which is not a great part of town.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:40.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Where did you find the strength to answer yes
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:43.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
to that question that you can still do good?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:46.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I think this has been sort of a pattern in my life
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:48.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
where like in the evening after it happens,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:51.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like I don't have it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:53.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You know, I don't have that feeling of hope or,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:54.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you know, resilience, if you will.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:57.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'm allowing myself to experience despair,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:45:59.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
which is exactly where I'm at.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:02.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But then a good night's sleep, wake up the next morning
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:04.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and just within me, I have that inner confidence to say,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:06.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you know what?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:10.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Fuck it, get back on the hobby horse,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:10.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
find a way, make it work, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:13.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But I do believe it's really therapeutic and worthwhile
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:15.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
to allow yourself to feel and vent.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:19.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So many people today, the Instagram culture world,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:21.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I call it, it's like they want to act like they're perfect.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:24.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Nothing bothers them, bullshit, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:26.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You're pissed off, it's okay to show it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:28.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Emotion's fine, we all have it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:30.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
There's no reason you have to suppress it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:32.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Obviously, you don't want to have guys throwing selfie sticks
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:34.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
around the room every time they lose a pot, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:36.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But, you know, a little bit of...
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:39.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You're gonna make everybody feel unsafe.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:40.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, exactly.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:42.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
That happens.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:43.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So you're saying, there is a culture of saying,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:44.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you know, stay positive, all this kind of stuff,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:46.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
but you know, when you feel despair, don't resist it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:48.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
ride it out.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:52.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Because it doesn't go away, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:52.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
That feeling, you know, you think you put it away
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:54.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in the pit of your stomach and you think, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:56.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
it's gone, it's not, it's still there.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:57.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Let yourself go, fuck!
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:46:59.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:00.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It's all right.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:01.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You know, there's nothing wrong with being
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:02.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
a little bit emotional, because once you've experienced it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:05.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you let it out, now you can move past it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:07.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, and I feel like, as long as your brain chemistry
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:10.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
can support it, you can usually learn a good lesson
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:12.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
from it, like you become stronger,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:16.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you become more resilient through it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:18.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It's really interesting.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:20.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And a good night's sleep can really help.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:21.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Absolutely, yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:23.080
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So through 2022, and in general, what is a perfect day
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:24.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in the life of Daniel Negrano look like
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:29.560
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
when you're, like on a day when you have to play
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:31.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
a big game, big tournament game and so on?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:34.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So like, what time do you wake up?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:37.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What do you eat for breakfast?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:39.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So my life is twofold.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:41.220
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like one, when I'm playing hardcore, and one when I'm not.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:43.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And they look very different, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:47.360
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I'll give you a quick glimpse of like when I'm not,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:49.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
up at 10, you know, breakfast, in the gym at noon,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:51.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you know, post workout,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:55.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
meal, coffee, walk, like, you know, I try to get,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:47:58.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that's what I do for cardio, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:04.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and just very like home bodied.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:06.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I don't leave the house.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:07.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It's very like boring and mundane, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:08.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Long distance walks.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:10.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So like, what do you do when you're walking?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:11.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You're thinking about stuff?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:13.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Well, no, honestly, I just walk on the treadmill.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:14.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I try to get 15,000 steps a day.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:15.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I just walk for basically like an hour
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:17.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
while I watch a show or I'm on the computer
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:19.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
or something like that, you know, I'm on the treadmill.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:21.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Why walk and not running?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:23.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Well, I mean, I think walking, I mean,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:25.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I do a little bit of running, but hardly any.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:27.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I don't enjoy it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:29.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like, I just like walking.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:30.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And frankly, for fat loss,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:31.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
when it's usually what I'm doing after big poker tournaments
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:33.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is getting back in shape, that walking's ideal for it, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:36.220
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So essentially it's like the tale of two.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:40.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
During the World Series of Poker,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:41.700
