Daniel Negreanu

I mean, you're making it sound like certain people are just genetically able to in certain... I do think some people are more apt to being able to deal with adversity and having resilience, and some people just can't hack it.

But generally what I would advise people that are, let's say a guy's playing really high stakes or whatever, doing badly is...

Step number one is take a little bit of a break here.

Let's recalibrate and let's start small again.

Let's restart and let's play smaller stakes and let's get our confidence back.

Because in poker, without confidence, you cannot be successful.

It is incredibly important to have almost an inflated level of confidence in yourself because you're up against it, right?

As I said, the majority of people fail.

So why are you special?

Why are you different?

You have to be pretty confident about yourself to think that you are one of the chosen ones.

Listen, it's okay to experience it, like I said.

Yeah, you're going to experience despair.

What else?

What should you be feeling?

You know, if things are going poorly and you just lost all your money.

Excited?

Maybe like, okay, have your moment of grief.

Allow yourself to experience it so that you can, you know, reassemble.

You have a jaded view of the world, right?
