#324 โ€“ Daniel Negreanu: Poker

They say, okay.

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

They agree to everything that he says.

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

He never touches the cards.

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

He doesn't do anything outside of the fact that the cards that you supplied- Mm-hmm.

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

have imperfections on them and he can see them yeah okay so that increases his chances of winning he could still lose theoretically right probably not but he can't lose in theory he just gives him a little bit of an edge and it's all stuff based on what you provided yeah so the idea that you offered a game i accepted i beat you and now you want to free roll me that's disgusting

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

pattern imperfections yeah so some of the cards like you said like you know they had those like that pattern on it and some of them this was faulty cards on there were not cut properly so like the eights and nines had the card cut differently and those are important cards in this game you know the eights and nines or whatever so you could essentially from looking at the back of the card discern

Well, see, Phil had, you know, in his heyday, he had โ€“

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

He exploited weaknesses in casinos, you know, systems all over the country.

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

Like in one night, I don't know if you know this story.

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

In one night, he would take a plane, a private plane, and fly to 30 different casinos all over the country.

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

Because he would have these deals where they're like, all right, we've got this big rich sucker who's going to come here and play craps and he's going to lose all our money.

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

So he'd have this deal with one of the casinos where they'd be like, all right, you get 20% back up to half a million.

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

Right?

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

So if you lose half a million, we'll give you back 100K.
