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

Well, I know because most of the people who make it.

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

So like, you know, when you play these high rollers, these guys are accustomed to playing for $100,000.

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

They're accustomed to this kind of money.

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

So they're going to play, right?

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

But you're talking about guys who bought into a $10,000 tournament, maybe never had $100,000 cash in their life.

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

And now they're sitting there.

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

And it's like $1 million for fifth and $2 million for fourth.

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

So they don't want to be fifth.

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

They're just going to sit there and go, ah, I don't want to.

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

So they'll be under more financial pressure because they're not like your typical high roller type player.

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

Yeah.

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

See, I'm trying to win.

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

I think that gives me an advantage, frankly, where I might make decisions that are financially suboptimal.

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

Because I'm trying to win, but there's also an inherent advantage to that.

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

Like that, again, something I watched and learned from a guy like Michael Adamo, where he takes advantage of these people playing so passively in these spots where he's like, I don't, I'm not trying to come, I'm going to win.

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

I'm just going to bully bulldoze you.

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

Cause I'm not worried about, you know, the small financial mistake of, you know, a pay jump.

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

So one of the ways, I mean, I think way back to how I started, right?

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

And there's so many resources and tools available right now to analyze hands.

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

But when you play, right, and you find yourself in a situation or a hand that you're not really sure about, not because you had aces and went all in and you lost.
