That's not good unless your opponents are playing way too passively.

#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

So if your opponents are playing passively, the answer is to be more aggressive with them.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

And that's, I think one of the biggest advantages he had was he was willing to do that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

So in a spot where somebody would make it a thousand, he's, he's, he's making it 22,000.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

What is this?

Lex Fridman Podcast

#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

You're like, man, this guy's crazy.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

He's bluffing like nuts.

#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

Then he bets the 22,000 and you say, ah, I'm taking my stand.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

I call.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

And then he shows you like, you know, four of a kind or something like that.

#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

So he gets people out of their comfort zone.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

And I really enjoy watching him play.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

He's probably my favorite player to watch today.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

watching a guy like that what aspect of his play have you been able to incorporate into your own like what do you learn from that because you're constantly learning you're constantly adjusting yeah well no and i love it and as i said so i think a lot of players sort of come to the same conclusions about this is how you play the spot but he doesn't and i love watching and thinking in terms of like why he's doing this and one specific thing for example is

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

He's willing to really go for it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

So in a spot where let's say he bets 2,000, he knows he'll get you to call 2,000, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

But he wants it all.
