Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
where I played the World Series of Poker
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:08.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and I made it a point to work out every day.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:10.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But what that did was it sacrificed sleep.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:13.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So then I found like at 1 a.m. I would be more tired,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:15.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you know, because I've expended more energy
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:18.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
than I would otherwise.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:20.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I essentially like look at the World Series
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:21.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is six, seven weeks where my body's
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:23.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
just gonna take a beating, not like UFC fighter,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:25.220
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
but like a different kind of beating.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:27.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And that's okay because I have so much confidence
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:29.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that within six weeks of just like eating right
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:31.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and working out, I can get back to where I was.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:34.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But it's just hilarious to me that you'd be eating chocolate.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:36.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What eating chocolate in bed
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:39.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
as you're trying to get to sleep is this.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:40.420
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like literally a bag of like chips or chocolate,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:42.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like on my way home and before bed,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:45.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you know, just whatever.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:48.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
This is what the professional athlete does
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:49.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
at the highest, most difficult event of his career.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:51.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Okay, so what else is there in terms of mental preparation
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:54.060
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and focus and meditation, those kinds of things
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:52:58.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
leading up to the games?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:01.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Is there anything you like to,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:03.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like any rituals you like to follow?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:05.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So yeah, I have dabbled in the past
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:07.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
with like meditation and different things like that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:10.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I know that there's health benefits to it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:11.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I understand that a lot of people get a lot from it
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:13.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and I've done it for a good amount of time,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:16.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like long periods of time.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:18.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I found that for me, I think it was predominantly placebo.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:20.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like it really wasn't doing anything for me
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:23.740
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that I felt like it was, it felt like I was doing something,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:26.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
but I really, I didn't see any specific results from it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:28.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I don't really do that too much.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:31.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
One thing that I will do for me is leading up
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:33.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is there's so much footage now
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:37.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that I'll make it a point to like watch my opponents
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:39.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and then with like my phone, I'll take notes
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:42.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and I'll keep track of different things that I'm seeing.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:45.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And that sort of, and then what I'll do
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:47.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is I'll formulate a game plan.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:49.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like I'm playing the Poker Masters coming up
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:50.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in about a week.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:52.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I'll look to see the tendencies
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:54.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
of what my opponents are doing.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:55.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And then I'll come up with like some things
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:56.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that I'm gonna do, some tricks of the trade, if you will.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:53:58.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Not game theory optimal stuff,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:00.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
stuff that I think, oh, they're making a mistake here
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:02.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that I can exploit.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:04.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And then I look to do that in different ways
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:05.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and always look to throw curve balls.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:07.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
How hard is that process?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:11.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Do you enjoy it or is it like really hard work
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:14.220
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
to analyze the players to try to understand
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:16.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
what are the different holes?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:18.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What are the different mistakes?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:20.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What are the strengths to avoid and that kind of stuff?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:21.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I think the only thing that makes it harder
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:23.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is when you're young, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:25.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And you're in your twenties
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:27.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and you're trying to make your nest egg.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:28.180
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You're like, you're trying to make your retirement money.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:29.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You're hungry, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:31.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You're like clubber Lang and you know the gym, you're hungry.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:32.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Whereas, you know, Rocky's in there taking pictures
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:35.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and smiling and doing commercials and stuff like that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:37.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I am 47, I'm financially okay.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:39.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I don't need to win.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:42.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I don't need to compete at the highest levels.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:44.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I think it was a boxer.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:46.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I don't remember which one.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:47.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
When asked this, he was asked the question,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:48.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
how do you get up in the morning still
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:51.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and do those morning runs?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:53.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And he says, you know what?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:54.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'll be honest with you.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:55.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It's a lot more difficult doing the 4 a.m. run
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:56.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in silk pajamas, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:54:58.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It just is, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:00.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But I've always been self motivated
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:02.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and I've always found a way.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:05.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So it's harder in the sense of like, it's not a need.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:07.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I can still get by without it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:10.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But so in that regard, it does feel like a little bit
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:12.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
of work where like, oh my God,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:15.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that's a lot of footage I gotta get through.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:16.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I don't know that I have the time or I don't know
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:18.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that I wanna spend 10 hours of my day doing that
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:20.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
when I could be doing other things.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:23.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I mean, what do you still love about poker?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:25.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
When you said, when you enter,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:28.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like the times you catch yourself just being able
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:30.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
to sort of take in the awe of it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:34.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What aspects do you love?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:37.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I think that like for me,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:39.260
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I've always been really competitive,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#00:55:40.380
