Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that was especially gutsy and powerful or memorable
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:10:39.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
for that you've seen in the history of poker?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:10:44.080
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Well, for me, the one that stands out
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:10:46.080
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and probably because I was so young
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:10:47.520
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and it was my first year, like one of my wife,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:10:49.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
won a bracelet that year,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:10:51.800
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
was I was friends with Scotty Wynn, the Prince of Poker.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:10:53.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And he was heads up against the guy named Kevin McBride.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:10:56.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I was on the rail, you know, I'm like, wow,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:10:58.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
he's gonna, you know, he's heads up.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:00.880
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And he was so cool.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:02.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like he had a mullet, but it's perfect, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:03.480
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
He had the white shirt, the black thing.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:05.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
He's drinking a Michelob, smoking a cigarette, whatever,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:07.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you know, all chill.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:10.520
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
He bets it all on the river.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:12.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And the guy's thinking, and he psychologically owned him.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:13.800
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And he said, he goes with his beer, he goes,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:17.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you call gonna be all over baby.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:20.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Ha ha ha, that's right.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:21.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Okay, so this guy who was an amateur heard that
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:23.560
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and was like, there's so much pressure
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:27.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in this moment right now.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:29.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I can't handle this pressure.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:30.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But Scotty just told me, if I call here,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:31.840
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the pressure's gone.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:33.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I don't have to be under it anymore.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:34.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So he sort of hypnotized them into making the call,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:36.200
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you know, and Scotty had it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:39.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Scotty had, you know, the full house
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:41.440
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and it was over for the guy.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:43.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You call gonna be all over baby.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:44.200
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It was, I just, I love that aspect,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:45.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
sort of the table talk dynamic,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:47.880
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
which isn't as prevalent today as it was back then,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:49.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
but that one sticks out.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:54.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And it probably, because it was one of my first.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:55.200
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So the few words you say at the table can completely affect
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:11:57.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
a hand like that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:03.000
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
That's almost, that's scary.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:05.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It was just so cool to me, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:07.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like just how he was so calm.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:09.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I think that too, added more pressure to the amateur.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:11.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I think like, again, part of it is,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:14.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
even back then it was 1998,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:17.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
there's still a big rail of people and there's lights
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:19.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and they're, you know, they're filming
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:21.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and all this kind of stuff.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:22.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And it's a lot of pressure for a guy
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:23.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
who's never been in this environment.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:25.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And now I'm telling you, it can all be over soon.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:26.560
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It will all be over soon.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:31.080
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Just call, it's finished.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:33.560
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Something about that accent too.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:36.840
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Now you're a master at table talk as well.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:39.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Do you have, do you just kind of go with your gut,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:41.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you flow with it?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:45.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Or is there a deliberate strategy with this sometimes?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:46.200
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
There's usually some sort of strategy that I think about
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:49.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in terms of what I want to say and whatnot.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:51.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But a lot of the time I just go, I go with it, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:53.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the more you talk, the more information you get.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:56.520
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, but in some cases against really good players,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:12:59.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you're just giving away information, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:02.000
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like if I'm playing against Phil Ivey,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:04.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'm not engaging in anything.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:05.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Cause he can read through it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:08.020
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
He can sense based on what I'm saying, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:08.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the clues and where I'm trying to take him.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:11.480
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And he reads through, he sees the tree through the forest
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:13.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
or whatever you want to call it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:16.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the forest through the trees.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:17.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And you know, so then I would just be like
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:18.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
allowing myself to be exploitable.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:23.080
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Is some of it just for fun?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:24.480
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Because at the end of the day, if you're having fun,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:26.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you might be at the top of your game.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:29.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I've been thinking about this a lot lately actually.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:31.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It's funny you bring this up
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:33.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
because I've been thinking about when I'm at my best.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:34.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I think I'm at my best when I am comfortable like that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:36.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:39.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Where I'm not so stiff and worried about, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:40.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
checking properly and worried about reading people.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:42.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'm like, no, I'm me.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:44.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
All right, I'm going to play some poker.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:46.440
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What do you want?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:47.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Do you want to call me?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:48.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Call, go ahead, do what you want.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:48.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:49.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Cause then I realized, you know, ultimately it was like,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:50.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'm comfortable in that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:51.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
My opponents aren't as comfortable in that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:53.080
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
They're comfortable with this, you know, the robot thing.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:54.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But I thought more about that and how,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:57.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
especially with some tournaments coming up,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:13:59.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I plan on really kind of sort of getting back to my roots
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:14:01.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in that regard.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:14:05.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I love it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:14:07.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
From a spectator perspective, I love it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:14:08.480
