the seven weeks and right.

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

I'll give a little bit of mental energy to the 1500, which means I'll be on my phone.

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

I'm not going to, I don't care as much about this one, but the two 50 K fully engaged, fully focused, you know, up against obviously the higher, the buy-in, you know, super top competition.

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

And, you know, as far as strategy goes, focusing on each day, playing the best I can, not the result.

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

Like, cause if you focus on the result, you're, you're focused in the wrong place.

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

Your focus should be on the decisions you actually make.

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

And if you're making good decisions consistently, you have to continue to do that.

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

The frustrating part is this.

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

With poker, unlike chess or other things, making the best possible decision doesn't mean you win.

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

Often you lose.

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

You don't in chess.

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

Sure.

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

Yeah.

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

Well, when you think of the World Series of Poker, so as you said, I lost about 1 million, right?

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

In one tournament, that was 500,000.

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

So then, you know, like a few others here of high buying tournaments.

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

So the sample or the amount was, you know, 40, 50 total tournaments with, you know, high variance.

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

And if you don't run well or do well in the highest buy-ins, you know, you're going to have a losing summer.

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

I think the most difficult thing for people is self-awareness, right?

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

And resilience.
