@@wasabigamer9235 if you consider what they do as 'gambling' per se. its certainly a gamble in that you can make all the right moves and still lose your buy in, however imagine a game where we roll 2 dice and i pay you $10 if its 2-8 but you pay me $10 if its 9-12.. this game is technically 'gambling' but you are certain that given enough runs you will come out ahead since you win 7 of the outcomes compared to my 4 for the same exact price. a poker pro playing against a novice is a similar proposition. sure they will lose their fair share of individual outcomes but over time they will end up with more chips than you.

He is years behind.....most great players are better! Daniel was good years ago, but he played golf and goofed off, while the younger guys had no money.....so had no choice but do their home work, now surpassing the old pros.

[@Tek-Nik-S]

Calling someone a legend in action pretty much amounts to feeble minded hero-worship

[@jopasc8998]

he's way out of his depth at this level. like the 88 hand had no showdown value(bluffcatcher) and good opponents value range is higher pairs that can fold. Plus trying to learn how to play your $10 MTTS by watching $25k buyins is the antithesis of useful, they are opposites. What I admire about Daniel is his longevity, discipline and dedication to keep improving. Not an easy thing to do for 25 years and traits that will make you successful in almost any field

Where can you watch the live stream?

[@heart.9889]

Also wondering how live streaming an online tournament can even work

[@FallLineJP]

@@heart.9889 Was wondering the same thing. I'm guessing he would just have the stream delayed by a few minutes to avoid showing hands in progress. Still leaking alot of information about his thinking and the cards he didn't show, though. I guess the point of optimal play is that this doesn't matter.

[@JoshyKel]

Honestly Daniel Negreanu is my favorite poker player to watch. These kind of videos watching how he outweighs the numbers is great to hear his internal thought process, that being said my favorite experience is when he plays live against other players.

[@iamamish]

I love this analysis. Too many hand reviews are of exceptional hands - they're obviously the ones that generate interest. But it seems to me poker is won and lost in the trenches with hands that aren't as exciting.

[@SandSeven]

Yes, yes and yes. So many difficult decisions are made that don't have any real value if you only look at the +/- BBs/chips earned. I'm still trying to master that concept, but like mastering poker itself, it'll never happen, but I'll never stop trying :)

[@GreatBritishBeast]

For me, though a poor player, massively lacking in knowledge as well as composure to settle and think properly through situations at the table midhand, I have an opinion on your point. Poker is absolutely lost from the outset if you can't navigate the trenches as you say, but it is most definitely won with the strategy applied going over the top! The big hands, the big moments. Having the fortitude to make decisions for either straight up or essentially your tournament life. That includes letting go of very good hands, but also committing to a few well timed bluffs. So much easier said than done. I say this because often I will make 200 correct(ish) decisions over hours that leave me up... but then 1 in hindsight obvious mess up that takes 1 minute can eradicate all the good work. And so working on those big moments then really is the difference. I say this as someone who out of my last 10 live tournaments has 4 cashes including a 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place. Only £1700 winnings, but I feel I've a valid point. I am bad though compared to others and I damn well know it 😅 Those books and poker magazines of 10 to 15 years ago really are mostly outdated now!!

[@whoimia5208]

@@GreatBritishBeast I cannot agree with you more. I have placed high in several tournaments where I was not playing well after the flop but won a few preflop all-in hands for big pots.

[@thisisit1991]

I watched that entire stream replay spread out over a week, some amazing moves but the end was tragic even though it was unavoidable. It's just poker for ya! But I did learn a lot just from watching the video and hearing your process about when to bluff because of the blockers you are holding, when to simply give up the hand, the cards to open depending on the situation, especially with short stacks. Good lessons

not scared of folding good cards, something i needed to learn, so many times i’d get bored and jump all in pre-flop because i thought AQ or big slick was a good hand, ultimately any starting hand can be beat

Yeah. New players need to see this. Good cards preflop are only really good depending on your position/amount of leverage. Being too confident in good cards will lose you lots of money.

[@socal515]

A friend and I were playing heads-up texas hold-em. She had $21 left in her stack. I had $229. The blinds were $16/32 and she had the button and therefore had the small blind. She put in her $16 small blind and I put in my $32 big blind. She saw her cards and then pushed all-in with her remaining $5. She claimed that I was required to put in an additional $5 so that I'd have $37 invested into the pot even though she was all-in for a total of only $21 invested. She claimed that if she won the hand, she would get my $37 even though she had only begun the hand with a total stack of only $21. I disagreed and said that the most she could win from me was only $21 and that I'd be entitled to have the excess above and beyond my $21 "call" returned to me. She insisted that I would forfeit the full $32 big blind plus the additional $5 she had "raised" to go all-in. Who is right and who is wrong?

[@TDOLLA]

@@prgnify lol, the word ‘Expatriate’ or expat for short is a real word- you might not agree with what groups tend to be called expats vs other groups who tend to be labeled immigrants even though they are both doing relatively the same thing. There are situations though where the word expat is a better descriptor than immigrant so it has valid uses… I agree it’s used a little loosely though and basically anytime an old white guy from the US, UK or Australia wants to move to southeast asia and bang younger women they call him an “expat” even though really an expat is someone who has taken residence outside their home country and is a skilled worker or educated or some kind of artist and has been sent there by their employer or maybe independently… To me some old low skill worker from Australia who moves to Thailand to make his money stretch farther and to get a 19 year old girlfriend is less an “expat” and more like a sex tourist or something. No judgement though I don’t really care what people do and I understand the appeal of moving to a different country.
