It's the same with chess it's actually easier to learn the game online and strategy now when it was playing without computers. The grandmasters in chess would only meet up 5 times a year during the last cold war it's the same with poker plus they where not travelling back then for games. You look at America it's only since the 90s that poker players from Europe where going to America for the world series. America likes making them the world champions of sports they only played really lol

Love listening to Ivey. Guys the obvious 🐐 of poker. But he’s also an incredibly intelligent human being.

He is probably the goat all rounder, but his 11 wsop bracelets to Hellmuths 17 says he isnt the goat in tournaments. Hellmuth isnt great at cash games, Many people think Hellmuth sucks but his record in tournaments is pretty incredible.

It is so cool to see and hear Ivey open up. He had this mystery around him. Still has some of it. He almost had a cult of personality, let me say in 2008.

He is so smart. I want to get better at not being on social media as much. It's definitely a weakness/addiction I have. He is right. Shorts are scary how you just get caught up seeing one after the other, and it's a lil sickening the dopamine hits we are getting so fast it's ruining our brains :/

I once heard Ivey say "I've never had a poker session where I didn't make a mistake." That says a lot coming from the goat compared to other hot shots who pride themselves on "perfect decisions". It also explains how Ivey got to be the goat. Endless learning curve. I also remember Ivey telling how to get good at poker. "Play a lot. Learn from your mistakes. Lose money." LOL.

[@EGarrett01]

He's made references to doing stuff he shouldn't be doing over the last 10-20 years so he may have some addictions.

[@morganspector5161]

Phil's capacity for being self-aware and self-critical should be a model for anyone. He's doing wonderfully well, but is also aware of his shortcomings. This is something Hellmuth should consider. He makes noises about being aware of his shortcomings, but usually only as a way to segue (usually abruptly) back into how wonderful he is. The most amazing thing I've ever seen Ivey do was in a cash game in (I believe) Monte Carlo, where he and the opponent (don't remember his name) made multiple bets pre-flop, neither holding better than (if I remember correctly) 7-high. Ivey ultimately went all-in and his opponent folded. I know there's a video of this hand so it would be great if you could dig it out and play it.

[@TwinPeaksSugarWallz]

2:30 i think even now...with all the books n computer stuff...there's still some players that rather learn on their own by just being at the table...bccause no one relaly wants to stare at a computer screen of charts or read books...the best teacher is being at the table gridning and gambling , winning and lossing...that's the best teaching you can get.

Does Daniel really believe AK is a favorite over 66?

[@rdf274]

Got curious about that, ran a few hands on poker odds calc, on heads up seems like 66 is 2% better, with more players on the table things change a lot, apparently in favor of AK (suited)

[@canaans1]

An argument could be played. Way easier to win on most boards post flop with AK than 66. So many boards easy to continue as the aggressor and 66 will generally call a 3 bet or get 5 bet jammed if they decide to 4 bet and be in a tough spot preflop. Post flip ak way easier to manage so I'd take it over 66 every time even though in direct equity 66 has the edge. What does 66 do on basically any board facing multiple barrels. Fold eventually more often than not.

[@JayakrishnanNairOmana]

@@canaans1 There is no doubt AK has better PLAYABILITY than 66, but here on this occasion, he is specifically talking about AIPF equities. He demonstrates that by saying Doyle "figured out" that AK was 53-47 over 66 by "dealing 100 hands and scoring the outcomes". If he had really done that over a larger sample size, he would get something close to 52%-48% in favor of 66.

[@JayakrishnanNairOmana]

Note that a 4% edge is not that small. All of Las Vegas is built on table games like Blackjack and Baccarat where the house edge is less than 2% against an informed player.

I don't really see what you are adding to the content except for some questionable memes/jokes and some general comments. So many questions...

[@ltisenotem]

I think Phil is shy, he was always nervy with table talk. Sure, you can understand something more indepth than others, but finding a middle with people is having social skills. I think Phil just felt safer being quiet and never letting anyone know what he thinks about anything poker related.. which worked for him!

Phil is the GOAT, but I think he is wrong here. You can always learn SOMETHING from most everybody. I think it was more that he felt in his own mind that there was no one he could learn anything from, which is completely reasonable for someone achieving so much success especially at a young age where our EGO's are often inflated. Not denying that he was one of the top if not the absolute top player in the game, but there are things he could have learned from other players if he was willing to collaborate, but by thinking in his own mind that there was nothing anyone could teach him, he closed himself off from that possibility.
