This is a massively underrated badass conversation

[@petershearouse661]

Jaffe is such a beast. Ike is an endboss! So glad they shared this with us! THANKS!!!

[@Mr.Muckington]

Endboss that killed tv poker single handedly 😂 great player horrible for poker in general. Wheres your mask Ike. Hate this guy

[@NFLed]

These GTO Lab podcasts are great. The questions and discussions are very interesting. I've always enjoyed listening to Ike's views on everything. Listening to him talk makes me feel a lot smarter than I actually am, and I can relate to some degree about most everything he says (even though I don't play poker after Black Friday).

[@GTOLAB]

Thank you 🙏

[@keyskd]

As a casual/hobbyist poker player, I really appreciate the deep dive into the mental aspects of the game you guys discussed, especially Ike's point about the importance of adapting strategies to different opponents. It's easy to get caught up in playing a 'perfect' GTO (Game Theory Optimal) strategy, but the reality is that poker is about reading people and making adjustments based on their tendencies. Your discussion about the meta-game and how top players like Ike balance between GTO and exploitative strategies really resonates. It reminds me that poker is as much about psychology and adaptability as it is about the math. Great insights

[@aa10759tghj]

what're you even talking about? these two are just a bunch of card players. there's nothing particularly "deep" being discussed here.

[@romuloferraz2369]

Thank you for this amazing content! It's both inspiring and insightful. Keep up the great work!

[@JonathanJaffeGLHF]

Thank you

[@texasilainen]

Ike is one of the goats of poker, big respect to this guy

[@BillJones23]

Great conversation. Amazing this content is free, it's incredibly valuable.

[@jordanpino4143]

New fan of Ike after this great interview he’s really good at breaking things down imo

[@leandro93160]

cant wait for part 2!! Shitload of gratitude from me all the inspirations for my career, so much content to allow us to better ourselves and very entertaining conversations, this is The poker podcast channel for me really apreciate this ❤

[@JonathanJaffeGLHF]

[@JansArends]

I would bingewatch an Ike podcast about medieval shipcontruction

[@Trephining]

If you didn't see it, you missed out. That was a good one.

[@bradsamford7682]

These covos are beyond valuable, thank you!

[@DeeDubbleYou]

Loved this! Thank you very much guys!

[@shaanscreativemind]

re: min 53 in the podcast, andrew huberman actually brings the science to prove jaffe’s point. not to celebrate your wins as it has an effect on dopamine and widens the gap between highs and lows and will lower motivation. think its one of hubermans episodes on dopamine, motivation and/or willpower. good episode guys.

[@JonathanJaffeGLHF]

I didn't realize that, thanks Shaun

[@KenpachiPoker]

Love this convo

[@MaximusMerideus]

Ike is someone I'd pay 500-1000/Hr for poker coaching and feel like I was getting the better side.

[@Buzzsawmcteal4]

This should have at least 100k views

[@BSweetVideos]

Jaffee drops an F bomb within the first two minutes. That's a negative for the algorithm, but otherwise this video is very good.

[@JonathanJaffeGLHF]

Fuck me 🤦‍♂

[@BSweetVideos]

Great convo. I agree with Ike about eating during the day and feeling sluggish. Breakfast is overrated.

[@nitisudornpim5649]

Bro this shit is gold! A lot of Sean Evans characteristics. Keep it up bud 👊

love these podcasts. keep them coming!

[@GTOLAB]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Tyrone_Gibon]

Big fan of Ike, but I do wonder whether the reason he takes losses so well could be in large part to at this point possibly being rich enough where a downswing is just a tickle. Almost anyone can handle say a few % networth loss. It's when it's 10%, 20%, 40% is when we can start talking about mental fortitude and dealing with adversity.

[@Trephining]

@Theother1two34 Did you mean to say "Isn't it all relative?", or did you mean relevant?

[@shaddow3456]

32:40 CLOCK!

[@GTOLAB]

:) right

[@ovorentals8422]

Ike is Seth Rogan meets Ed Kemper from mindhunter, took me a while but I got there.

[@choboruin]

Amazing pod, biggest question I took away from this since he didn't expand on it. How do you figure out what things are important?

[@LTUharis93]

great!

[@1312Mork2]

Only 3k subs is wild af for these pods.. thanks for doing these champs

[@deepmordor2411]

The view to sub ratio is almost at 100% tho

[@1312Mork2]

@@deepmordor2411 makes sense

[@GTOLAB]

More to come!

[@Dog8myhomework]

Can you ask him why he wears those over the top masks ?

[@johnhall32]

Without a mask he’s actually like able. With a mask I hate him

[@Trephining]

I thought I heard someone say during some final table he was at that he wears the masks routinely because he has some immune disorder.

[@blurplebear8573]

If you're having a lot of pain around the hole you better be taking that seriously.

[@Brian-vk1hm]

No N95?

[@bobb.2260]

what's the book you're writing?

[@JonathanJaffeGLHF]

It's a non-fiction account of the High-Roller tournament scene. Following a few players including Ike and attempting to answer some of the questions I think the poker playing public would be interested in. Hopeful for end of 2025 release?

[@bobb.2260]

@@JonathanJaffeGLHF cool sounds interesting, agree there should be more behind the curtain stuff on the top players

[@salvatorepiccino6880]

no mask? weird lol

[@DylanDavisPoker]

Hahahhaha

[@facesbookses2044]

You dont need to use masks when your not in public. You never understood that?

[@soulreadanalytics9781]

How dare you...

[@Trephining]

@@facesbookses2044 Considering I still sometimes see people wearing masks while driving, alone, in a car, it is definitely possible that someone would fully misunderstand the usefulness of masks.

[@pizzaduder]

I'm a mechanic. I drive people's cars before and after repairs. I work with about 9 other people. I wear an n95 mask at all times when at work once i leave my car. I don't take the mask off until I'm back in my car. I don't take it off to drive other people's cars. So I'm often alone in a car with a mask on. Lol. Once it's on i don't touch it. New one every 1.5 days.

[@jamesurbanic1975]

Ike trying to think of a name besides Dr Fauci

[@JS-lc4kg]

almost 40! can he drive a car yet?

[@1312Mork2]

Lmfao who drops 200mg caffeine and falls back asleep 😂 SUS AF

[@AcesH1gh]

Neurodivergants

[@Bean-js9bc]

I guess it's Ike's version of the nappuccino.

[@oldmancannabis3026]

I do the same with my adhd medicine. It takes 20 to 30 min for the therapeutic effects to be felt.

[@Trephining]

That way when he wakes back up, it has taken effect. He should look into how caffeine and adenosine interact though. Might want to reconsider his timing on that.

[@bitcoinjesus420]

This guy is what’s wrong with poker yet everyone want to praise him

[@Mr.Muckington]

This guys the worst 😂 how to kill the game of poker with the human mask

[@bobbenson4831]

wait till you hear about sunglasses and hoods
