Like I've done it before where I played the world series of poker and I made it a point to work out every day.

#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

I found that for me, I think it was predominantly placebo.

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

Like it really wasn't doing anything for me that I felt like it was, it felt like I was doing something, but I really, I didn't see any specific results from it.

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

So I don't really do that too much.
