"He likes to rule by fear, and you like to rule by... what is it... love?" Perfectly human response.

[@randallmartin2508]

Used to play every Friday at a friends house. After a few weeks of playing there, a mutual friend revealed a tell to me which was a kind of deep breath or sigh when he had a good hand. After about 15 weeks in a row of destroying him I finally told him how I kept beating him. He was shocked at how obvious it was and that I was the only one who picked up on it. So people do subconsciously give information like Daniel says. Pay attention and watch for this type of stuff.

[@kaymadd]

I'm curious to know how this works. How did you destroy him if he already had a good hand?

[@randallmartin2508]

@@kaymadd because I knew when to fold when he had a very good hand, and when he raised without his tell and other people folded, I knew I could raise him and he would fold. Or I could call his big raise and beat him if he didn’t give his tell. So it kept me from losing to his big hands, and let me call or raise his bad ones.

[@kevinhammond2361]

My favorite table talk moment in Poker was this hand where Daniel was in a hand with Scott Seiver, and Scott was so casually brazen with his comments on the hand, and Daniel accused Scott of speaking in riddles. I can’t find the clip but it’s glorious.

[@HereinLA213_Original]

DNegs is a good guy, you can tell. This is a good one, Lex!!

[@Opeon1]

He's actually well known to be a jerk irl

[@OldSchopenhauer]

Not really. Doug Polk ran a character assassination of him.

[@HereinLA213_Original]

@@OldSchopenhauer when did Doug Polk become the authority of character?

[@OldSchopenhauer]

@@HereinLA213_Original He appointed himself, and the online poker community rode his dick for years.

You're just naive buddy, it's all an act this charming persona for the cameras. Now imagine if you're wrong about DN (and you are) how many other people/figures/ideas you have been duped into believing were for a good/just cause? The wolves come dressed in sheeps clothing. Might need to go back and brush up on Little Red Riding Hood buddy.

Dont be all loosey goosey while eating a sandwich at the poker table

Is that the white version of the film?

@@vladzorin1006 nah that's just phil helmuth dude

[@jdtremblay2331]

Me sitting here stoned, licking my lips and drinking water

[@Bajeeebus]

I learned very quickly that it's probably not a good idea to turn up to a table stoned haha

[@aidandowd414]

Well that's just your opinion... Man.

Loosey goosey?

MARK IT ZERO!

[@untouchable360x]

Daniel just got PTSD remembering Gus Hansen's pocket 5s.

[@davidhill2020]

5:12 In Maverick, Annabelle gets busted out and Maverick tells her that she holds her breath when she bluffs and everybody, good guys and bad guys, acknowledge this, the joke being that, even though we didn't see it, the rest of the players figured it out. Tabletop game like poker and chess are hard to put in movies because they're not action oriented and involve a level of intricacy that's hard to visualize, although Rounders did it really well.

[@thedebatehitman]

4:24 Hellmuth inhales a roast beef sandwich.

[@RCTricking]

3:00 hilarious because during his whole WSOP Downswing DNEGS has been saying "Oh I always lose my all-ins"

[@HalConick]

Downswings get ya in your head.

[@marknoble5495]

I was thinking the same. I watched his vlogs over 2-3 days straight when I had Covid. I was getting irritated with him constantly screaming about never winning a flip. When he would win 3 in a row and then lose 1.

[@samidhchoudhury5809]

he may not be the goat. but he is great. and he has fun. Whats important?

[@bajorekjon]

Matt Damon does expose the oreo tell. He says something like "i would let him munch those oreos until he's broke"

[@jeffreyobrien1944]

Daniel with the beard looks like a mini Josh Barnett

[@crizzleyo815]

3:16 i literally see daniel negreanu sitting next to phil helmuth taking all his chips :D

[@ChatGPT1111]

I compare the current cadence with their prior ones. Observe when they speed up or slow down.

[@lockdowndb4863]

I obviously don't know everything there is to know about the psychology aspect of poker. But I know enough that I didn't learn anything really new from this video because I didn't pick up on the subtleties of what Negreanu's insights were

[@johndavidson1944]

Watch their eyes during the flop....the cards will still be on the table for you to see after...I always watch my opponent during the flop and I never stare at the board during the flop because it gives away info....when a card connects there is almost ALWAYS a tell

[@IamChilly91]

Is he just saying the opposite to get us at the table later!?

[@davidchodds]

Oh my god. It's like the interviewer never watched Rounders and is trying to fake it.

[@stevenw7438]

Good insights

[@bbertgilo1574]

I always say what separates the good players from the great players is their ability o lay down a monster in key spots when many just wouldnt be able to...

[@Ongargis]

Is Daniel going to be Wolverine?

[@ShooterSanoff]

I would drink water if I didn’t care about the hand like I am not trying to bluff or hoping for a certain card but if I wasn bluffing or hoping for a card to hit then I wouldn’t drink because I would be too focused.. it would be a bad tell I think

[@twig7219]

Drinking water in general is a pretty common tell for being relaxed. It even shows up in stuff like Chess. It's pretty frequent that towards the end of a difficult game, once the player has reached an easy win / has saved a losing game - they will take a drink of water.

[@futurescalling]

Maybe, making YOU think that they're a loser is THEIR tactic ... maybe not

[@derekg8587]

MK Ultra poker program experiment 😎

[@rumckinley]

Thanks 😊

[@cakeboss1721]

Don't go on your phone or eat a sandwich

[@Ellifiknow]

I wanted to listen but I can't stand to hear somebody say right at the end of sentences all the time

[@ZenHolisticFitness]

Love d negs.

[@stelios83]

I never notice any of these 😂

[@guillaumelagueyte1019]

Neither do I. I suppose you have to already be super strong so that you don't even have to focus on your hand, in order to focus on the other stuff

[@billyaces5397]

Bit like you in this years WSOP sucked out for a mill

[@thomascharles44]

Disarm them

[@WXVA9]

Daniel is leaving out everything about the bets the player is making, determining their range of hands, etc. I'm sure these kinds of physical and verbal tells have value, but they're not the primary thing.

[@trump45and2zig-zags]

And who are you? How much have you won? I'm willing to bet he knows a tad more than you on this subject! Maybe lex should ask you for advice on robotics too? Lol

[@JWar-]

This is just a clip. He talks about those things in the full podcast.

[@bryanjohnson8162]

I look at it as I don't have an investment in the pot I have an investment opportunity to win the pot whatever I put in there previously does not matter!!

[@abdiasneto3791]

Id love to give money to Daniel hahahah

[@ThereIsNoTime1986]

Fuuuck that

[@zelouras]

You repeated the Rounders part. Guess you re not the Cristiano Ronaldo of podcasts.

[@jaimepatena7372]

I like Daniel..but if he thinks lawyers are less honest than Sunday School teachers...he needs to get out the casinos and into the world more....lol....

[@nickfavre8117]

He is definitely talking about @mikematusow 🤣🤣
