Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
all my sort of structured life thrown out the window.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:43.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
There's no walking.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:47.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
There's very little walking.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:48.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
There's very little working out.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:50.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
There's very little anything.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:51.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I go into the World Series, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:52.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like this year I went in around 157
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:54.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and I expected to gain about 10 pounds
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:57.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
during the World Series.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:48:59.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Not good pounds, it wasn't muscle,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:00.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
but that's about what I did, 165.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:01.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And then I spend the next month trying to, you know, lose it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:03.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But during the World Series, when I'm playing,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:06.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the most important thing without question
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:08.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that I have to focus on,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:10.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and this is why I stopped focusing
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:12.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
on working on all this stuff is sleep.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:13.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
If I'm not rested, I'm useless.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:16.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
If I only get five, six hours
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:18.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and I have to go back the next day and play 14 hours,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:20.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the chances of me being at my best, very, very slim.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:23.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So sleep is a priority.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:26.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What's the perfect amount of sleep for you on those days?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:27.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Eight, seven?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:30.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So eight hours is my go to every night.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:30.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
During the World Series of Poker, it's just not possible
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:33.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
because of the way that it's structured.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:36.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Sometimes the tournaments end at 2.15 a.m.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:37.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I get home about three o clock.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:40.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Takes me 30 minutes, 40 minutes to get to sleep.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:44.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So now let's say I'm in bed by four.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:46.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Well, the tournament's at, you know, two.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:48.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I have to get up and whatever.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:51.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So it's very difficult to get exactly eight
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:53.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
a lot of the time.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:55.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You know, and also get back there in time.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:56.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Is there any hacks to quiet the mind?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:49:57.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Because you're going on a pretty intense rollercoaster
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:01.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
mentally when you're playing.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:04.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Is there any tricks to getting to sleep
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:07.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
given the rollercoaster?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:10.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I've been very lucky.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:10.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like I'm blessed.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:12.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I don't know if it's because of diet or what,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:12.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
but I've always been a very good sleeper.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:14.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You just shut off.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:16.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I get to sleep and I sleep like a baby, you know?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:17.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I also nap really well.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:19.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like during the World Series, sometimes what will happen
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:21.840
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is let's say I get knocked out of one event at 4 p.m.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:23.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And there's another one that I can jump in.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:26.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Instead of jumping right into it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:28.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'll go into like a private room and take 45 minute nap.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:30.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And you know, and give me enough energy to continue
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:34.220
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and sort of reset my mind.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:36.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, and it solves a lot of problems with the nap too.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:38.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It does.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:41.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, I feel like the nap is a magical trick in life.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:41.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What else, diet wise?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:46.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What do you, your mind is going, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:47.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
pretty intensely all day.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:52.220
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, so during like, like I said,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:53.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
when I'm not playing, I'm super regimented.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:55.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You know, I have, I literally measure everything.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:50:58.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You know, I count calories, I count macros,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:01.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I follow it to a T.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:04.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Pretty balanced diet or any?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:05.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'm a vegan.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:07.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Vegan, yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:08.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So it's, you know, a vegan diet, like.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:09.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But balanced in terms of carbs and protein.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:10.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, I eat a healthy amount.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:12.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'm doing probably 150 grams of protein,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:13.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like 60 grams of fat, 50, and then about.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:17.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And try to measure it all out.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:20.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I do, yeah, I basically, I created a meal plan.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:21.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So what I did for myself is,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:23.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
cause I'm really anal and I made a spreadsheet
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:24.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
with like a day's food and I have six different ones.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:26.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I just follow it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:29.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like I don't, it actually makes my life so much easier
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:30.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
when I don't have to think about what I'm going to eat
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:34.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
for lunch or what I'm going to eat for dinner.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:35.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I already know what I'm going to eat.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:37.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I already wrote it down and it doesn't get boring
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:38.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
because I'm switching it up every day, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:40.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
every six days and occasionally I'll, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:42.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
splurge or do something different.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:45.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
During the World Series of Poker,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:46.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I eat whatever the fuck I want to eat.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:47.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like it's at 2 a.m. I don't crave
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:50.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like a broccoli carrot salad.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:52.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like I want chocolate, candy and chips.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:54.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I'll just do it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:58.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So you listen to the cravings.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:51:59.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, I realized like.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:01.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It's surprising because like,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:02.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you're so regimented outside of that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:04.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It's really difficult.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:06.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like I've done it before
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:07.740
