Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
people will figure out a way to exploit you.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:29.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But if you're like an average player playing
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:30.880
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
an average buy ins, like that's sort of what I coined,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:32.560
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like small ball approach, absolutely will work.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:35.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You know, at the highest level,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:38.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you have to add much more, a lot more bluffing.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:39.800
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But overall, I think it's still, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:42.340
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
for the most part, there's a lot of really,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:44.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
especially with tournaments,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:45.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
there's a lot of really good principles in the book.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:46.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What's the difference in the dynamics,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:48.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
if you could just comment on between a heads up poker
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:50.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and when multiple people are in one hand,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:53.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
what are interesting aspects to everything
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:56.520
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
we've been talking about from game theory
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:46:58.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
to exploitative strategies, all that kind of stuff.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:01.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So the biggest difference when you play,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:04.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
let's say nine handed, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:06.040
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
against eight other players and you know, heads up is,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:07.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
first of all, just the type of hands
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:11.200
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and the number of hands you're gonna have to play.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:13.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So the way that it works is if there's nine people,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:15.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
two out of the nine hands, you have to put in money.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:18.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And the other seven, you could just fold for nothing, okay?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:20.300
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
When you're heads up,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:22.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you're forced to put money in every single hand, okay?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:23.800
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And there's only one other hand in front of you,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:27.440
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
which means the ranges of hands that you play
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:29.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is way wider, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:31.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So if you're nine handed, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:33.480
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And you're in first position, you're like, all right,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:35.040
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
what do I need to play?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:36.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like a good pair, you know, two high cards suited,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:37.880
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
a big ace, you know, stuff like that, that's it, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:41.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
That's what you're gonna play, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:44.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And you're gonna fold all the rest.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:46.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
When you're heads up, you look at a king and a two
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:47.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and you're like, well, I gotta play this.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:50.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You know, you're gonna, you're gonna,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:52.360
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you're forced to play a lot more hands
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:53.540
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
in a lot more complex situations
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:55.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
when you're playing heads up,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:57.400
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
because you're gonna be playing much far weaker hands.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:47:59.860
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Queen five, Jack three, all these types of hands.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:02.520
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And you're gonna see flops where you're,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:05.480
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you're not gonna have the luxury of being like,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:06.920
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I'm in there with a premium hand, queens, kings, aces.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:08.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Those are easier to play, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:11.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Very, very strong holdings.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:13.080
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Heads up, you're forced to dance and fight a lot more.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:14.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You know, you can't sit in the weeds and wait.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:19.360
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
What do you enjoy more?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:21.520
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Heads up is very intense.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:24.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I like heads up, but I think if you had to play heads up
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:25.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
eight, 10 hours, it's so mentally draining
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:29.520
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
because your face with so many constant decisions
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:31.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
each and every spot.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:34.760
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Like you play nine handed, you look at a nine and a three,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:35.600
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you throw it away, you hang out for a bit, relax,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:37.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you go, you get a little break and then play hand.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:40.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Heads up, you're like, it's like, boom, boom.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:42.240
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
It's like you're in the ring, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:44.000
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you're in the octagon and you're facing like
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:45.200
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
haymakers nonstop.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:47.640
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Since we talked about online a bit,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:50.680
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
is it possible to cheat in poker, especially online?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:53.720
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So we offline also talked about the cheating controversy
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:48:56.840
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
that's going on in the chess world.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:00.320
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Is it possible to use, what is it?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:02.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
Remotely connected anal beads to somehow cheat?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:06.660
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
No, is that a concern of cheating online?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:10.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So here's the thing, it's kind of like romanticized
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:15.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
from the old days, like, you know, in the Western stuff,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:19.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
like people trying to cheat.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:21.280
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And have you ever killed a man because he cheated?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:22.120
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
No, I have not.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:24.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But when I started out as a teenager,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:25.100
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I played in a game with a bunch of Italians
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:26.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
and I knew they cheated and I didn't care
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:28.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
because they were so bad that I could win anyway.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:31.160
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
I was like, I knew they would cheat,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:33.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
but I knew how they were cheating.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:34.780
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
So I was like, all right, you guys suck.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:35.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But so here's the thing,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:37.140
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
anytime you're talking about large sums of money,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:37.980
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
there will be people looking to take advantage,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:40.960
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
whether that's live or online, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:43.580
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And so it's like the job essentially of the, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:45.820
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
the online operators or the, you know, live event staff
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:49.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
to police it the best they can.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:52.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And the players themselves being on the lookout for it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:54.560
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
You know, like a guy like Dole Brunson is a great resource
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:56.620
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
because he's seen it all and he's seen all the tricks,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:49:58.940
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
you know, and so live, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:50:01.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
he probably could spot a few things.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:50:02.900
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
But online, there's various ways people can try to cheat,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:50:04.460
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
but there's also really good security measures in place
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:50:07.500
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
to catch them, you know?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:50:12.700
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
And we've caught, you know, like about two years ago,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:50:14.380
Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324
there was a huge undertaking of like 500 accounts
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0324-large.html#01:50:16.660
