Lex Fridman Podcast · #324 – Daniel Negreanu: Poker · 27 Sep 2022 podcast

Poker players usually think, like, well, my hand is pretty good, so I got a call.

But that's not how a solver would think.

But I think one of the best ways to learn poker is when you see a solver output and it tells you one of these things, try to figure out why.

Why does this solver do this?

Why does it want you to call with this and fold this?

And try to think about it on a deeper level.

And you go, aha, probably because this card that I have here, you know, changes the range of my opponent's, you know, potential.

Absolutely.

I totally can relate to what Magnus is saying.

First and foremost, because when Solvers was first introduced, I didn't come from that world.

I was so intimidated because I didn't know how to use it.

I don't know how to do an input.

So I had two guys.

One guy's a data scientist and another guy's like a poker savant, if you will.

And they coached me and they did it.

So today, if I was in a tough spot...

And I'm like, I don't know, what would a solver do?

I will send them the hand and they'll run the solve for me and then sort of give me the parameters of what to do.

When I was playing regularly using solvers with them, we were spending six to eight hours a day going over all these solves.

So intuitively, I started to think and learn about what the solver would want, but I sort of understand where Magnus is coming from in that
