If somebody makes a huge bet, if you're playing no-limit hold'em and somebody makes a huge bet,

There might come a point where you're like, this is too much money for me to handle.

I can't risk this amount.

And that's what throws a lot of people off.

So that's the big difference, I think, between no limit and limit.

I think that's right.

I think...

One of the key strategies in poker is to put the other person into an uncomfortable position.

And if you're doing that, then you're playing poker well.

And there's a lot of opportunities to do that at No Limit Hold'em.

You can have like $50 in there, you throw in a $1,000 bet.

And that's sometimes, if you do it right, it puts the other person in a really tough spot.

Now, it's also possible that you make huge mistakes that way.

And so it's really easy to lose a lot of money in no limit hold'em if you don't know what you're doing.

But there's a lot of upside potential too.

I'm drawn in by the beauty of the game.

I started playing poker when I was in high school.

And the idea to me that there is an objectively correct way of playing poker, and if you could figure out what that is, then you're making unlimited money, basically.

That's a really fascinating concept to me.

And so I was fascinated by the strategy of poker even when I was 16 years old.
