You know, it's a different mindset required.

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

Like a lot of these young guys, they're accustomed to 20 tables at a time.

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

It's much more robotic, right?

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

So if you're playing 20 tables, you're just making decisions based on like what you, you know, you're not thinking about the depth of the situation and what just happened 15 minutes ago.

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

You don't even know what happened because you can't pay attention to all that at once.

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

I agree, yeah.

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

especially that event the world series poker main event historically like that's it you know that's the pinnacle that's where like mainstream watches that's where people are tuning in and the gravity of the moment you know it's so much bigger than people like everyone gets the opportunity to play armchair quarterback too right oh he should do this you're not there you're not under the lights you're not under the pressure you know it might seem easy for you at home to be like well they have because you can see the whole cards you know they can't certainly the idea of

The small sample with tournaments.

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

I like the idea that you don't have to worry about, oh, well, if I do this now, then in the future, you know, I won't be balanced.

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

I have to be balanced here or anything like that.

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

That's like really boring and lame, right?

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

Again, that is kind of the way the younger generation learns how to play the game, being balanced in every spot.

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

Um, and then randomizing, you know, like, oh, I'm supposed to do this 50% of the time.

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

Okay.

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

So if my left card is red, I'll do it.

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

And if it's black, I don't.

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

So you're not even making, you're no longer making actual decisions for yourself.

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

You're just randomizing.

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

And that's way less fun for me than tailoring it to the situation.

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

Well, you shouldn't be, but there are.
