Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:31:47.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Over years, what's your training regimen in poker
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:31:49.000
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in terms of how you keep improving?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:31:53.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So you said you study games,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:31:58.360
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
but that's mostly leading up to a particular tournament.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:31:59.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But is there kind of a behind the scenes daily activity
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:03.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you try to do that kind of over time keeps you sharp?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:07.800
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So for me, now that I'm 47,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:11.560
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and I feel like the predominant aspect of my poker game
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:12.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is going to be in terms of my success
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:17.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is gonna be my mental state, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:19.200
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I find it's really, really important for me now
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:21.560
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
at this age to have balance.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:23.840
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So when I'm not playing poker and I'm out of it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:26.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
poker is not even on my radar.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:30.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You're able to remove it from your mind.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:32.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Doing my fantasy hockey, play a little chess,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:34.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you know, play some golf, watch some hockey,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:37.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
whatever the case may be,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:40.000
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
outside of the game.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:41.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And then I start to get the itch.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:42.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like after the World Series of Poker,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:43.800
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the poker door was closed.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:46.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, you took some time off.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:47.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
All of August, I didn't play any poker at all
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:49.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
until just recently, you know.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:51.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I started to get the itch again.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:53.040
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Because that's what's important for me,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:54.440
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is if I don't have the itch and I don't want to play poker,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:55.800
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
then I'm not gonna be at my best.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:58.200
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Once I start getting the itch,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:32:59.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that's when I start to say,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:01.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
okay, let's start watching some of these streams.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:02.480
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Let's see what my opponents are up to lately.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:04.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And, you know, let's look at some solvers
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:06.800
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and different things like that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:09.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And you're doing pretty good.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:10.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You came back and doing pretty good.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:12.360
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, so far.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:15.360
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Do you like being in front of the camera
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:17.200
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
through the hell of the World Series of Poker this year?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:18.560
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You filmed every single day.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:21.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You did a vlog.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:23.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Does that energize you?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:24.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Is that exhausting?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:25.360
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Because it's really beneficial to a huge amount of people.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:26.200
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It energizes the poker community.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:28.360
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But do you see it as a service
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:30.520
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
or do you purely just love it?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:32.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I've been comfortable on camera since I was a kid.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:34.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
When I was a kid, I wanted to be an actor.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:37.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like really, really young.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:39.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I was always comfortable in that environment.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:40.360
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I think like that gives me a little bit of an advantage
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:42.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
sometimes too, with these film events.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:45.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Cause I'm comfortable with the mic on
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:47.880
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and on camera with the lights.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:49.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And I think a lot of people maybe aren't
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:50.840
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
with the knowledge that other people
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:52.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
are gonna see what they're doing every day.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:53.880
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So it's been so comfortable and easy for me.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:55.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
As far as the World Series goes
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:57.080
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and the vlogs and all the shooting,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:33:58.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
it's kind of therapeutic for me.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:00.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It is essentially my version of journaling, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:02.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So there's a lot of value, I think,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:06.520
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in like at the end of a day doing a brain dump
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:08.040
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
where you just write out and journal.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:10.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But doing it on camera has this similar effect.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:11.880
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And it also, when you make a mistake on your own,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:15.480
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you're held accountable to you.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:19.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But when I have to explain it to others,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:20.840
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like here's what I did.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:23.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And this is the mistake I made
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:24.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
or whatever the case may be.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:26.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It actually, I think that helps me.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:28.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Yeah, so you're held responsible by a larger audience.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:31.000
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I think it's like, so like I said,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:34.440
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
listen, I'm 47, my life is good.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:35.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I don't have to be in this tournament.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:38.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
If I'm over it, I can just dump my chips off and go home.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:39.560
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But I can't when I'm doing the vlog,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:42.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like I have to actually answer to that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:45.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And it keeps me in line.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:49.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
How hard is it to win the main event
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:51.080
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
of the World Series of Poker?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:53.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So the main event of the World Series of Poker
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:56.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is the hardest event to win
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:57.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
simply because of the sheer size of it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:34:59.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You're talking seven, 8,000 players, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:01.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And a lot of landmines.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:04.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And frankly, there are so many players
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:05.440
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that you've not played with before too.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:08.800
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You play these high roller events, like the super ones,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:10.840
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you get 30, 40 people, you know everybody, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:12.880
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So you have an idea.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:15.360
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You sit at the main event, you don't have any idea.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:16.880
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
This guy wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jersey
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:19.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and sunglasses, and he just raised you big.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:21.040
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I don't know this guy, I don't know what he's about.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:35:23.200
