#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

But I could have all these hands.

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

So my opponent, if he's thinking on a high level, he knows I could have all these hands and I have this one.

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

So what do I do with this one, right?

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

In the bigger scope of things.

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

Sure.

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

So that makes it... So yeah, so that's true.

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

So for example, one of the most extreme examples is...

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

We have, there's spots where there's a bet that's considered polarizing, right?

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

So let's say there's a thousand in the pot and you bet 10,000, which is crazy big, right?

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

That's saying one of two things.

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

I either have the absolute best possible hand or absolutely nothing because any of the hands in the middle, I wouldn't do that with.

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

So I'm essentially telling you when I bet that I'm like, I either got it or, you know, I got, I don't have a mediocre hand, like just a pair of nines or a pair of tens.

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

I have a Royal flush or have nine high.

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

So with my bet sizing, I can control how my opponent is perceiving what my range is going to be.

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

So for example, you know, similarly, if I bet small, right?

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

Well, that could be a lot of hands, right?

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

That could represent a big part of my range.

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

Apparently, the more polarized it is.

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

It depends on who I'm playing with, right?

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

So if I was playing in a tournament with mediocre or weak players, I think I could probably do pretty well.
