They're like, oh,

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

So all the amateurs are built different.

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

Some of the amateurs are just too weak and passive.

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

They're just waiting for the nuts.

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

And then the pros, everyone notices that.

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

And then when they make their big hand, they don't get paid anyway.

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

So in order to win the main event, I mean, you have to have some components of your game that are aggressive.

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

It's very unlikely to expect to just get the cards the whole way and just always have the best hand.

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

You're going to have to find ways to win pots that, you know, where you don't have the best hand.

#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

The final table is unique now, especially because you're talking about the way that poker works in tournaments is that if there's seven people left and you're very short on chips, but if one other player goes out, you just make like $300,000 for folding, like just for sitting out, right?

#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

The term for that that kids use is ICM, independent chip model, right?

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

Where it talks about the value of each chip.

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

Where what happens, what we see now is, let's say one guy has a big chip lead.

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

And there's another guy who's second in chips.

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

And there's a couple that are short.

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

These guys in the middle, they just play super tight.

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

And they wait for the little guys to go while the big stack is just pounding them because he can afford to, right?

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

He knows that people are handcuffed.

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

So let's say I had 10 million in chips and you have 9 million in chips.

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

And these guys have little chips.
