02:01seven or eight people you have time in
02:03between you can chat heads up it's like
02:05boom boom boom boom boom it's like it's
02:07like you playing bullet chess versus you

02:12play here H instead of just which is how
02:16I play bullet this is true raise raise
02:20250 I'm pretty sure this is one of the
02:22cards I'm supposed to fold right we
02:24don't play that even in Heads Up N okay
02:26but you are very good at at live tells
02:28do you think it's easier when you're
02:29just isolating one person yes that's the
02:32cool thing have I given anything away it
02:33no I mean we just sat down but like
02:36that's the thing right like when there's
02:37eight people to focus on yeah you know
02:39you probably miss things but when it's
02:41just one person you're looking at them
02:42every single decision so like you might
02:44spot a lot more like I always find that
02:46by the time I get heads up you know I
02:48usually have something on on my opponent
02:50unless they're like stepen chidwick who
02:52doesn't give away any do Pros still give
02:56away live TS or is it just amateurs see
02:58the thing about live tells they
02:59conscious you don't even realize like
03:02there's a lot of things people do I
03:03can't give them all my secrets away but
03:05even some of the best players in the
03:06world like there's there's things that
03:08are so reliable with them I'll tell you
03:10one after tell you please
03:17check 200 200 I will see a turn card
03:22call two
03:25players
03:27check okay do you want to see the river
03:29card also probably was I said okay here
03:33we go is that 500 yeah big bucks okayy
03:42go
03:50check okay I give up that's a smart move
03:53yeah I was uh going to going to have a
03:55whole Spiel on the river about what I'm
03:57going to do depending on what you bet oh
03:59nice no I there's a teaching moment in
04:01here if you bet I'm too embarrassed to
04:03even show my hand but it's learning so
04:05here we go well in theory you're
04:08probably supposed to Bluff that on the
04:10River on the river too yeah like say you
04:13but I got a live you know you're
04:15probably you I gave away a live tell
04:17sure I'll see a river blah blah blah
04:19check I was not folding no ah there go
04:23all my blacks I didn't expect this to
04:25happen so easily and when you do find
04:28tells on these Pros is it things that
04:31you've noticed from years of playing
04:32with them or are they things that are
04:34commonly known amongst other people in
04:36the community so I'll tell you what
04:37there's sort of an analogy here I played
04:39in the the POG champs yeah I remember
04:41and I played against uh Pokemon who was
04:45po pokem sorry right off the bat I'm
04:47like I had a higher rating whatever
04:48right off the bat she like killing me I
04:51have no idea why and then I realized oh
04:53her coach told her exactly how I open
04:56and how to defend against it so like she
04:58had a huge Advantage right so with poker
05:00the analogy would be I study my
05:02opponents on video a lot of the time
05:04I'll watch like for patterns and things
05:05like that sometimes I'll take a notepad
05:07old school and keep track all right he's
05:10done this 10 times eight times he had a
05:12marginal hand you know and then I use
05:14that to sort of help me make decisions
05:15interesting yeah you can study like I
05:18feel like so you really watch the tapes
05:20I do when I'm really trying to get into
05:22it these are 500 yeah I'll just get
05:25changed then
05:28okay but I mean yeah that's the cool
05:30thing like I didn't I I then I realized
05:32I had to have a burner account on
05:33chess.com no you do you can't let people
05:36I didn't know I was trying a new thing
05:38I'm like oh can't show anybody and on
05:39chess.com it's really clean because if
05:41you have an opponent you can go through
05:43all of their thousands of games and put
05:45in the line specifically against what
05:47you play which is why preparing for your
05:49tournament is so EXT for your opponent
05:51is so extreme in chess yeah I had no
05:53idea luckily she didn't know what to do
05:55after she had the advantage in the open
05:56so I was able to win but let's do 300
06:01300 what would Landon do Landon would
06:05call
06:07okay he's your coach um he's one of my
06:10coaches yeah I also recently started
06:12working with chance cornets a little bit
06:14that's that's a good but I like it CU
06:16then I have a GTO guy and a livel guy so
06:19together Perfect combo you know chance
06:21is very good because he combines both I
06:23think that's like what you want to do
06:25but what I like with Landon is that you
06:27know and I think you're were talking
06:28about something similar with Lex is 1
06:32he's someone who can explain how the
06:33solver works for me so when you're
06:36playing online poker there's obviously a
06:38lot it's sure button never M fewer live
06:40tells which feels like it's one of your
06:43strengths do you think you're better
06:44online or in well definitely better live
06:47yeah right because you know I love
06:49playing online for the comfort and and
06:51the convenience of it just sit on your
06:53couch with your puppies on you and stuff
06:54like that but then you have to focus
06:56more on like the numbers on the patterns
06:58so like I make notes my opponents you
07:00know where I'm like all right and with
07:01what's great with like the GG software
07:03is they show you like okay who's playing
07:05a lot of hands who's been winning who's
07:07been losing they give you a little bit
07:08of feedback on the players right to give
07:10you some kind of an idea of how they're
07:12going to play but for me there's no
07:13substitute to live yeah for my for my
07:19advantage looks like someone's three
07:21betting I was thinking about it yeah I
07:23know damn it he's in my head
07:28already
07:34no
07:36[Laughter]
07:38thanks come on Daniel just give me a
07:40little nibble nothing look I have a king
07:42queen I'm going to fold no my God I'm
07:44going to tell you what one of your tells
07:46are later okay good CU that was no I I
07:49as soon as I I knew it's because we're
07:51all chatting so my guard is off you
07:54know oh
07:56[Laughter]
07:57boy so that's that's a perfect example
08:00of how an online poker I wouldn't have
08:01known to fold the king queen but because
08:03it's live no I I I I was uncertain and
08:06like I was calling I but I could have
08:08been uncertain maybe I want it to fold
08:10I'll tell you after what you did if you
08:12want to know okay you okay I I'll take
08:14it and in the comments try to guess what
08:16it is oh you guys will know this is a
08:18that's a great one watch what you did
08:19and tell me ask what did I see that made
08:22me fold that hand actually one of the
08:24things that's been really helpful to me
08:25since I've been vlogging so much at
08:27tournaments is looking over it and
08:28realizing when I'm doing things that are
08:31obvious tell since I'm you know I'm I'm
08:33new to the game these are things that
08:34are going to take time to learn yeah no
08:37that's really smart just to is to watch
08:38yourself I think yeah you know that's
08:40something I think chance and Alex do is
08:42they you know have you on video look at
08:44yourself yep exactly which you're giving
08:48away confidence in decisions I have
08:51question for you how frustrating it's
08:54like in chess right you make the Right
08:55Moves you win yep how frustrating is it
08:57to play poker when you make the right
08:58moves and still still because of luck
09:00lose so I've played in the D usop Mains
09:03three times and every single time I've
09:05busted with pocket kings all in Pre oh
09:08man that being said I I just accept it
09:10as a different part of the game the the
09:12truly hard thing about
09:14poker is handling the intensity of your
09:17emotions this happens with chess as well
09:20obviously when you lose a game you go to
09:21your room you don't talk to anyone you
09:23don't eat but with poker it feels like
09:25the swings are way lower and it was one
09:27of the things that I took for granted
09:29getting into poker so I was like I'm a
09:31chess player I'm objective I have no
09:33feelings and then I go into poker and
09:34I'm tilted for like a week after a loss
09:36I'm like who is this woman and what do I
09:38do you check I check yeah were were you
09:41always emotionally stable no I'm still
09:43not emotionally
09:44stable I think people have see me I wear
09:47my emotions on my sleeves in a lot of
09:49ways but I have a little trick myself so
09:51I was curious before I tell you my trick
09:52yes like how do you so in chess right
09:54you know you make a mistake yep you cost
09:56yourself like how do you deal with that
09:58after that over in game it's extremely
10:02tilting once you make a mistake um but
10:05at least blind all
10:07right we'll double the blinds and once
10:10it starts getting the more variants the
10:12better for me um so in game honestly so
10:16I'm going to start competing in chess
10:18tournaments again I'm going to be
10:19playing two over the next month and I
10:21realize that I haven't had the same
10:23amount of time to train chess but I do
10:25care about telling the story of
10:27competitive chess and I think to do it
10:28properly you need to be in it a little
10:30bit and I have been mentally preparing
10:31for the fact that if I'm losing I need
10:33to not let it ruin the rest of my day
10:35and see the bigger picture but I truly
10:37struggle with it so I I wish I had yay
10:4094 takes it so I think when when you
10:42play chess they're timed right so you're
10:44under a lot of time pressure but your
10:45games take like four to six hours and
10:48you're sitting there for 20 minutes
10:49while your opponent is thinking so you
10:51kind of get used to it one trick that I
10:53use in Poker I don't know if it's
10:54applicable for chess but it might be is
10:56um when something bad happens and I can
10:58feel myself like being really tilted is
11:00I internally I just vent I'll be like
11:03you vent to yourself this idiot just
11:04played a hand so stupid that's going to
11:06cost me the tournament they have no
11:07chance this is the worst player in allow
11:09myself to do the full hel Ute right
11:11called a race
11:12with 10 of we called a race with Queen T
11:15honey in your head yeah so I allow
11:17myself to do that right then I'll sort
11:19of get present say okay what am I what
11:22am I what am I feeling right now what is
11:24what is the emotion I'm feeling okay
11:26anger right and then I'll ask myself
11:27like what are the physical Sensations my
11:29heart
11:30myet are Tapp I don't feel at ease you
11:32know uncomfortable so now I'm getting
11:34conscious to what I'm feeling then I'll
11:36take three deep breaths really at the
11:39table eyes closed like whole new Agy and
11:41then I'll be like all right what do I
11:42want to be right now I want to be
11:44focused want to be engaged I want to be
11:47dominant whatever it is right now I've
11:49noticed just by doing that practice of
11:51allowing myself to feel what I'm
11:53feeling it's not instant but a lot more
11:55quickly I'm able to be past that than if
11:57you're just trying to hold it in yeah
11:59exactly you hold in it doesn't go away
12:00how many times you see a poker player
12:02like 2 hours after a bad beat still
12:04talking about it so often still like oh
12:07man I would have had I would have had
12:08six million in chips but I got million
12:10because if that guy wouldn't have played
12:11that like that was two hours ago bro
12:12yeah one of my favorite quotes is
12:14actually Tiger Woods cuz tiger if you
12:16golf like he goes after putts right and
12:19like sometimes he'll really go after it
12:21and he was asked the question he's like
12:23tiger on these when you need to two putt
12:24like why are you so aggressive on your
12:26first putt leaving yourself a lot more
12:28room on the second put he goes cuz I'm
12:31not thinking about the second part I'm
12:33thinking about this part yeah making
12:35this part that's it there is no fail
12:37right yeah and that's something that's
12:39been helping me too because whenever I
12:41make a big mistake either in poker or
12:43chess I think whenever you're emotional
12:45about something you imprint it in your
12:47memory better so I try to look at it as
12:50like I'm not going to do this mistake
12:51again this won't be repeated and when
12:53it's something out of my control I'm
12:56okay with that that's the one thing
12:57that's been helpful that's very simar I
13:00change it nope that's a very similar way
13:02like to my process in terms of like when
13:04you when you break down a hand whenever
13:05I make a mistake I look that as an
13:07opportunity yep it's like oo ooh there's
13:10a there's a there's a leak here I need
13:11to plug aha so the next time you see
13:14this situation of this movie you know
13:16you're more prepared for it the more you
13:17do that the fewer leaks you have the
13:19better you get like again I'm going to
13:21go to golf 500 but like when you first
13:24start playing golf all you're trying to
13:26do is hit the ball right just hit the
13:28ball then you try to hit it in the air
13:30then you try to hit it straight then you
13:31hide it to your target a pro is trying
13:33to sink it from like wherever they are
13:36yeah so even them they make mistakes and
13:38they miss but their misses are like this
13:40they don't have the big misses yeah
13:42right they're getting closer at least
13:43when you start playing poker you make
13:45really dumb stupid mistakes you don't
13:47know what to do with right as you get
13:48better your mistakes are like oo I
13:50should have bet 750 instead of 825 you
13:53know like really finite like with chess
13:55yeah that's the thing I well chess I'm
13:57blabbing here but with chess I the hard
13:59part is like as you get better it's so
14:01much harder to get better 200 200 oh 200
14:05yeah raise o check raise all right you
14:08win all right I I think that's what I'm
14:11doing here or calling yeah I would
14:12mostly call that hand yeah yeah you had
14:15me dead I had 7 eight fair I should be a
14:18little
14:18slower well not not about how fast you
14:21did it just that hand on that board yeah
14:24like you're out of position so you check
14:26raise you're making the pot bigger and
14:27if I call a lot of bad cards come King
14:31Jack nine you know it's not an easy spot
14:34for you so you're like basically you're
14:36over playing over playing my hand you
14:38should be like more polar there or have
14:39like just a gut shot
14:41nothing strong hands yeah the middle
14:43hands are the ones you want to call up
14:44that's fair see I know what I'm talking
14:46about um GTO vat Su so potentially tough
14:50question but what's been your lowest
14:52point in your poker career and how are
14:54you able to overcome it lowest point in
14:57my poker career man there's been so many
15:00I mean that's good because I mean that's
15:02how poker usually is right you know when
15:04I
15:06was uh it was a long long time ago but
15:11it was kind of fun so like I kind of
15:12romanticized the early days of being
15:14broke like coming to Vegas for
15:16$3,000 yeah like I'm going to crush
15:18these guys I'm the best in the world
15:20yeah 24 hours
15:22later I have no money whatsoever and I'm
15:26walking back to Budget Suites the motel
15:28I was staying at thinking about like
15:29what I was going to do the next day I'm
15:31just contemplating life and my life
15:34choices but it was like low but I woke
15:36up the next morning ready to go ready to
15:39borrow some money get back in the game
15:42but at that point you were still
15:43confident like it never broke your
15:45spirit which is well no in the that's
15:48because I think one of the things that I
15:49innately knew even before I thought
15:51about this stuff is that I always knew
15:54it was better to deal with your emotions
15:55in the moment rather than like oh nice
15:58fold I was straight oh wow I have a hand
15:59you're supposed to go all in with
16:00according to that's true yeah ace4 nice
16:03I had but
16:07810 but that's something I've always
16:09innately kind of understood it's like
16:12authenticity I love authenticity and I'm
16:14worried this generation are so authentic
16:17your generation I'm worried about no I'm
16:19worried about it too and with public
16:21figures what I really appreciate about
16:23you is how authentic you are and how you
16:24just don't give a [Â __Â ] and you could see
16:26it and you know what sometimes it rub
16:29people the wrong way but at the end of
16:30the day people know that what you're
16:31saying is what you believe what I
16:33realized especially being a social media
16:36Creator is that you start authentic but
16:38then you start being a slave to the
16:40algorithm and you also just start
16:43tweaking your P Persona to what you
16:45think people want which is something I'm
16:46completely working on cutting out of my
16:48habits right now but I how how have you
16:51been able to stay like that what's the
16:53secret confidence I was you know I had
16:55great Romanian parents I don't know if
16:56you know anything about that no idea my
16:58parents Lov me my mother fed me she said
17:00I was never wrong I have a letter it's
17:03funny she kept this it gave it to me as
17:05a birthday present like 10 years ago
17:08when I was 10 years old there's a letter
17:09from the principal that that says 2000
17:12to Mrs Neu in due to your son's poor
17:15behavior and manners we will have no
17:17choice but to take remove him from
17:18school because of the fact that you
17:20support him in every possible way and
17:22you never think he's wrong I'm like
17:23you're right cuz I'm never wrong that's
17:25a wonderful parents honestly I did have
17:27what is it n 2000
17:291500 2,000 yeah all right a
17:37pot yeah no I think I genuinely think
17:40that like whatever it's whether your
17:42influencer or all that I think people
17:44genuinely appreciate authenticity more
17:46than any in a fake world that we live in
17:48the Instagram world where you always
17:49have a filter and you look perfect and
17:52your life's amazing and look how great
17:53they are meanwhile those a lot of those
17:55people are like crying in a bowl of ice
17:57cream at like 2: a.m. cuz they're alone
17:59sad
18:011,600
18:03what okay you're going for it
18:07huh all right she's going for it now
18:11what turn that's the hard part the hand
18:13gets more
18:21complex I have no idea what to do I'm
18:23trying to I'm trying to think of what
18:25you could be possibly playing I mean I'm
18:27not used to playing heads up so like
18:28ranges are very different for me to try
18:30to put you on
18:32things so most likely it's straight
18:34draws a jack a nine yeah pocket pairs
18:37ace
18:38high that's what I'm going to have most
18:40do you want to say it again but start
18:42with the one you have
18:44no all right we'll check to
18:47you 2,000
18:522,000 it's a very small bet it is a very
18:55small
18:56bet in the old days we'd say finding out
18:59where you're at okay but but they don't
19:01do that anymore kids stay laugh at that
19:03they don't try to find out where you're
19:04at
19:09no let's do
19:124500 another small bet thin value as
19:16they
19:23say thin value
19:26H can you beat a jack
19:30no but I could beat no Jack all right so
19:34it's the uh I uh I have one of these oo
19:38you have so you have two pair with a
19:41very with a really nice kicker yeah
19:43nines and fours there are nines and
19:45fours like what are you call I mean I
19:47guess you would be call I don't think
19:49you have a quad nine so that would be
19:51really sick I do not have a nine so I I
19:54mean yeah I'm I'm afraid of a Jackie or
19:56like any other pair any other higher two
19:58pair um well other two pairs would
20:01probably r ra pre that's true that's
20:03true Aces Kings or Queens I would have
20:04four bet so I don't have tens tens is
20:07very thin tens is very thin M um Landon
20:12told me that you usually play your hands
20:14pretty straight up so if like it's not
20:16that big of a
20:17bet probably I hav it maybe probably
20:21maybe but you could just be trying to
20:23get me to pay a little bit reverse
20:25reverse
20:27um
20:29I think you have it I'm in a
20:31[Music]
20:32full oh no what's the other card don't
20:36do this to
20:39me this you want to see yes okay a four
20:43feels better man Full House absolutely
20:47like I have no idea how in heads up
20:49you're supposed to like consider this is
20:50what someone's playing with cuz I
20:52haven't played enough but you you live
20:53and you learn heads up is a completely
20:55different animal I gave you the full
20:57Spiel you did you did
20:59was helpful I didn't mention four so
21:01with poker like you do you just like
21:03right now you're playing tournaments or
21:05do you like cash or both so I like
21:07tournaments more than cash I I think
21:10it's nice to have a limit it feels less
21:13gamly and it reminds me more of Chess
21:17because in chess tournaments you're
21:18playing like 10 days of six to eight
21:21hours of Chess plus the prep before so
21:23it's like 10 hours of Chess every day so
21:24it's kind of a marathon whereas you know
21:26cash is great but it's usually one day
21:28that goes really long
21:30whereas yeah tournaments are the closest
21:33thing I have found to chess and I still
21:36enjoy chess but obviously it's less fun
21:38when you're not a beginner so I feel
21:39like I get to be a beginner again oh for
21:41sure which is the best feeling I'll tell
21:43you when I was young starting out I
21:45looked at cash as a job like that's my
21:48job during the day so that I can afford
21:50to go play tournaments that makes sense
21:52that's a lot of fun yeah no I I really
21:54love tournaments 12200 oh 1,200 yeah
21:58yeah no I like the fact that there's a
22:00you know like there's a beginning middle
22:02and an end and a trophy yeah no
22:04definitely you got to get the trophies
22:06and and honestly navigating the cash
22:08scene is really hard and T tournaments
22:12are just so much more straightforward
22:14yeah well there's you know it's
22:15interesting too because like when you
22:17play tournaments there's a lot more
22:18things to think about you know right
22:21because you're like okay this guy's
22:23short will I make more money if I fold I
22:25have a short stack how should I play
22:27like how do you play when you only have
22:2810 big blinds or 100 big blinds there's
22:30a lot more variables and cash you know
22:32it's just kind of like autopilot what is
22:34that 11 I'll play for
22:3711 and I know that you know online poker
22:41has had kind of its recent wave of
22:43controversies lately what do you think
22:45about it especially the ones recently
22:47about GG well here's the deal right ever
22:50since I've been in poker I remember way
22:51back when you had all these stories of
22:53of cheats and stuff like that anytime
22:55there's a lot of money involved you're
22:57always going to have people that are a
22:59trying to cheat and then you have B you
23:01have the police if you will you have the
23:02organizers you have the the you know the
23:04people The Operators who it's their
23:06responsibility to stay one step ahead of
23:07course and they don't want these guys
23:09either of course right so you've got
23:11like the cheats trying to figure things
23:12out and then you've got like the tech
23:13guys over here you know trying to stay
23:15one you know one step ahead of them
23:17right and we're always going to see that
23:18you know but I have a lot of faith and
23:19trust in like the team at GG right and
23:22there's all like I said there's always
23:23going to be people that try and GG in
23:25the last couple years you know they've
23:26released 60 I think 200 different
23:29accounts that were trying to do stuff
23:30like if you are going to try to do
23:32things on there you will get caught I
23:33have a firm belief of that that doesn't
23:35stop people from trying right and that's
23:37always going to be the case whether you
23:38play Live or you play online there's
23:40always people when there's money on the
23:41table that are you know potentially
23:43going to do nefarious things yeah so I
23:46think honestly with online poker it's
23:47kind of easier to catch them because you
23:49have all the data right like if I think
23:52you're doing something with your sister
23:54and I'm like wait a minute how come when
23:55they're in the same table they don't bet
23:56hard against each other well then you
23:58bring that up I bet even harder against
24:00my sister but yes right but in theory so
24:03like then we could like they could look
24:05back at all your hands and sort of
24:06really have a good gauge what's going on
24:08and we have really like now we have you
24:10know Fedor Holtz I saw he's the new he's
24:12one of the best po players in the world
24:14and he comes from that world so he
24:16understands what's going on and I think
24:17it's really important to have players
24:19this is similar to chess.com they bring
24:20some of their top players obviously not
24:22going to give any names to be part of
24:23their anti-cheating team because there's
24:25certain subtleties that you know
24:26computers are going to catch up to it
24:28but for now you need these people who
24:30understand things that feel fishy do you
24:32think online poker is the net positive
24:34for poker oh I think online poker offers
24:36a couple things one the convenience
24:38right it introduces people to the game
24:40so maybe they will play live and stuff
24:42like that it's a less intimidating
24:43environment I would imagine too for like
24:45women right like I actually don't mind
24:48at all being a woman and po you're a
24:50special kind of woman yeah okay you know
24:52not all women are built like you just
24:54saying you know what I mean like you're
24:55you have a lot of self-confidence you
24:57know what you're doing and stuff grew up
24:58playing chess right for some you know it
25:00can be an intimidating environment
25:02whether you're woman or a man like
25:04coming into a poke room it is actually I
25:06mean the first time you go it's intim
25:08you know the rules you don't know if
25:10you're like I remember stories of even
25:12like the famous skier Alberto Toma big
25:14strong Macho Man right he came to play a
25:16tournament and he didn't know the rules
25:18he bet out a turn or something like that
25:19and he got a penalty and he's like I I
25:21can't play with you you know he was
25:22really he felt really uncomfortable
25:24right so with online poker you know you
25:26get past that you get more comfortable
25:28you learn the ins and outs you know you
25:29learn how to play then maybe you play
25:31live and also just the convenience or
25:32I'm like my dad who grinds you know half
25:35cent one cent and every now he's like so
25:37you know I've made $80 in the last and
25:40like he doesn't care about it he just
25:41likes playing yeah should we double the
25:43blinds again all right let's do it
25:4748 kick it up okay I like this okay so
25:51so so speaking a fun one thing I've
25:53noticed kind of similar to chess poker
25:56has a bit of an audience problem where
25:59it it's not always the most entertaining
26:01for the viewers unless it's something
26:03cut and it's the best hands what do you
26:06think are some of the things poker can
26:07do to keep growing the audience and
26:09making it more accessible so I look back
26:11at the history of Poker and what's
26:13worked and what hasn't worked as far as
26:14I was concerned right what has worked
26:17historically really well with the
26:18mainstream is edited shows yes right
26:20because then because like you know what
26:22poker's like sometimes you go 30 minutes
26:23there nothing interesting going on yeah
26:25if you're a dieh hard poker fan you love
26:27these live streams you feel like you're
26:29in the moment even though there's a
26:31delay but yes but if you're like you
26:33know like me I can't sit there and watch
26:34a 7our stream give me the clips right so
26:37I think doing a good job of taking those
26:38streams and making like the two minute
26:40Clips the one minute Clips also just
26:42editing down like the best hands and
26:44stuff like that is a really good way to
26:45do that but ultimately like what poker
26:48has in terms of let's say high stakes
26:50poker is it's such a serious Endeavor
26:52now yeah that you have a lot
26:56of you know like how much is it bet yes
27:00this is so serious because they're
27:02playing for a lot of money right of
27:03course and I don't blame they're not
27:04there to entertain that's not you know
27:06their job so you have that being like
27:09you know a big part of what you see in
27:11these shows I think continuing to create
27:13content with just like fun people yeah
27:15people that actually you know like you
27:17your streams are always fun you bring a
27:18really fun crowd
27:27check
27:30800
27:31okay 800 it
27:34is this is going to be it this going to
27:36be the hand is this the hand I think it
27:37might be okay you're either going to
27:39double or or not
27:52check who's more likely to have a six
27:54here me or
27:57you okay so Landon gave me this tip and
27:59it's like when you guys both have the
28:01likelihood of having something keep
28:02betting and I thought that was this but
28:04I could be wrong on the ranger got it
28:05okay just curious yeah yeah I think in a
28:08heads up it's different it's different
28:10like if it was eight people then it
28:12would be me but heads up you're playing
28:14heads up it feels like we both have
28:15similar likelihood here but I could
28:17again I'm
28:24learning she's in the tank deep
28:37you leaving yourself a crumb just in
28:40case she left herself a crumb usually
28:43when people believe themselves a crumb
28:45they're bluffing because they want to
28:46save a little something for bus fair or
28:49maybe I thought you were going to think
28:50that or maybe you have an A I'm all
28:54in damn it Daniel this is B
29:01oh she left the crumb were you bluffing
29:02yeah I was bluffing I had a seven though
29:04no I had a six yeah that's that's a
29:06little better see that's what I knew it
29:08when she left the little crumb it's
29:09probably a bluff still got to put it
29:12well hey my crumb survived your crumb
29:14survived I'm going to have some fun
29:15shoving okay and it's going to be the
29:18biggest comeback story ever hey seen it
29:20happen who knows we don't take it easy
29:23just cuz you're new give me
29:25that like if it was chess you're not
29:27going to let me win so who is more
29:29likely to have a six in that situation
29:31yeah it's actually a good question I'm
29:32not I think me but but but slightly I I
29:35thought it was neg you you way more
29:37likely to have an ace way more
29:39likely you always have have an ace there
29:42like and
29:43I don't many that's actually a good as
29:47far as I'm concerned it's like
29:47theoretically a good way for beginners
29:49to learn how to play is to go who's more
29:51likely to have a really strong hand here
29:53yeah like you or me which whose range is
29:55it better for no I actually uh the first
29:57poker Theory I Learned was for heads up
29:59and it actually made me understand
30:00ranges I think a lot faster because it's
30:02just more simplified so I think it's a
30:04good way actually for beginners although
30:06heads up is tough the difference with
30:07like heads up is like okay you have
30:09Queen five I'm like that's not a good
30:11hand is it well yeah but heads up it is
30:13wait a minute you know all
30:15in all in be it are you robbing me we'll
30:19see no thank you I have a monster okay
30:21you did I had Jack four suited but oh
30:24Jack four if you called and beat me
30:26investigation Jack Jack four off
30:28investigation and and then we could run
30:29it back you know speaking of you know
30:31cheating and stuff like that right like
30:33you know like that happens like there's
30:34always stuff going on people are always
30:36trying to do you think she cheated I
30:39don't I'm not listen I don't I think
30:40it's above zero right okay but I don't
30:42know like I never would have accused her
30:44in the moment I never would have gone
30:46that route CU without evidence you know
30:48it's not a thing to do yeah it looks
30:50really suspicious but I don't know like
30:52we had fun me and my wife we were in bed
30:53trying to figure it out and then she saw
30:55the pants she was wearing and she's like
30:57oh I know what those pants are from
30:58they're from this line and she was doing
31:00like her DET she was doing her
31:01investigation yeah cuz like there was a
31:02shine on her pants right she's like no
31:05that's the design and she show like look
31:07these are the pants they have a ripple
31:08right here that's why it's shining off
31:09the light and all this stuff it was like
31:11d the female brain oh God yeah she has
31:14that yeah all right is now or never oh
31:18you know I should just in honor of Mr do
31:20Brunson how much is
31:23it425 3,400 for

32:11heaven 34 there so you know in most of
32:14the competitive players you're one of
32:16the few who's still super chatty at the
32:19tables are you a Dying Breed yeah I
32:21think at the highest level certainly a d
32:23breed I think they'll it'll make a
32:25comeback at some point but do you think
32:27there's any advantages to your style of
32:29Poker but I'm guess I mean there
32:31obviously are but I think it's just so
32:32hard to master right I think the
32:34advantages are this I've been under the
32:36lights for most of my life it's my
32:38comfort zone to be chatty and talk
32:40talkative Under The Lights it's maybe
32:42not as comfortable for others yeah you
32:44know like I've watched some of your
32:45videos when you go play Street guys you
32:47know what I mean you're comfy you're
32:48shooting [Â __Â ] like this is what feels
32:51normal to like you're beating up on the
32:52New York Hustlers and stuff it's like
32:54you're comfortable sometimes I'm at a
32:55poker tournament and they put me on the
32:57TV table and I just feel more
32:58comfortable cuz I've streamed for 5
33:00years now You' you you you're used to
33:02living your life as though there was a
33:03camera on you at all times basically
33:06something to be said about that if there
33:07was a camera on me all the time that
33:09might be a problem for me

33:56one and two Fair fair fair now we're
33:59really playing poker good well hey at
34:02least anyone can win in poker have you
34:04won a poker tournament I have I won a
34:07turbo oh nice um in Bahamas it was just
34:11playing for fun it was like a 550 turbo
34:13and I ended up winning which was pretty
34:14cool what's your biggest cash um
34:17probably the WSOP Main it's like how
34:20much did you get for that
34:2217,500 but I was Freer rolled so I got
34:25to keep it which is nice deal no I mean
34:28my my my craziest game was definitely
34:31the uh you know cash game where I played
34:34against the creators and I ended up
34:36walking million I was and you were at it
34:39cuz you were upset about Phil I was
34:41watching it and I was like thinking
34:42there's so many good lines for you that
34:44I wish I could have written for him CU
34:46you know who he does next time I play
34:47against Phil I'm going to just ask you
34:49for a few jokes and I'm going to
34:50surprise him when he Le you made this
34:52call against Phil where he went all in
34:54with like Ace eight and you called with
34:55ace9 yeah and he's like
34:58and then in that you know he's he always
35:01says he's got to read he's got to read
35:02he's like just well Phil I read you as
35:05week and I was right I read you was weak
35:08he would just lose it I wish I had that
35:10line that would have been Excell well I
35:12mean I read you was weak it was obvious
35:13you had A8 I mean who didn't know that
35:16next time I tilt a pro I'm going to use
35:18that I read you as weak I read you as
35:20weak yes and then just watch them look
35:23at me angrily re is weak one of my
35:26especially if you make a dumb play
35:27that's even better but one of my toxic
35:29personality traits is I get true
35:31enjoyment out of tilting people not to
35:33the point where it's serious but just
35:34where I see them a little uncomfortable
35:36I watch I I knew that about you just
35:37from watching your chess videos
35:39seriously when like you really get under
35:41these Hustler skin you're like just you
35:43know they're cursing under their breath
35:45and you're just mocking them as you're
35:46like just like you
35:49know just beating them and they they
35:53before they don't even no it's fun I
35:55like those videos no I I appreciate and
35:57you did one with your grand like you
35:58were dressed up like a grandma yes that
36:00was funny we were in like 12 hours of
36:03Prosthetics to get ready for that but it
36:05was worth it yeah I love all those kind
36:08of that that genre video how often do
36:10you watch chess videos um I when I was
36:13into it for a while I was really
36:14watching like I watch a lot of your
36:15stuff and I liked you know some of
36:17hikaru's stuff and and he did some
36:19lessons with you for podcast I did
36:20lessons with Hikaru and I did one with
36:22with Gotham as well yeah yeah yeah who
36:24was the better teacher being completely
36:26honest like I think Gotham had me at
36:28like understanding stuff I got two
36:31pair oh me too oh you win in a different
36:35world could you ever see yourself being
36:37a professional chess player
36:39uh is that a lifestyle you think you
36:41would enjoy I don't think so I don't
36:44know like you tell me but I think it's
36:46like first of all to be at the top level
36:48you have to work a lot right so much you
36:49have to dedicate your which is why
36:51whenever I see chess players coming into
36:52poker including myself I have all the
36:54trauma of the amount of work it took me
36:56to get to this level CH like and now
36:58you're starting over yeah and it's
36:59[Â __Â ] terrifying but also extremely
37:01exciting I think it's more fun for me to
37:03like be really bad at something yeah and
37:05then like the journey to get pretty good
37:07yeah it becomes less fun when in order
37:09to get like 1% better you have to work
37:12really hard that's what feels like at me
37:15breaking point where you get like okay
37:17do I do I care enough do I want do I
37:19want it bad enough because if I do I
37:21know the sacrifice it's necessary and in
37:23this case the sacrifice is all in
37:26ooh all the money all the
37:30money is it doy Brunson 10 to off or 10
37:34to suited it's both okay you got Doyle
37:37you're going to beat me with Doyle well
37:38I I do have 102 suited but like I really
37:41want to win so okay I had a pair okay
37:45nice even though if if I knocked if you
37:48would have winked at me I would have
37:49called you just need to give the signal
37:52yeah like every time you play poker I
37:54imagine like you learn something new yes
37:56you're like ah it's so fun yeah it's so
37:59cool to be able to do that
38:02again oh
38:06sorry what I meant to do was not that
38:08what I meant to do was this okay we'll
38:11let it slide we'll allow it this time
38:12we'll allow it yes that is what's known
38:14as a string raise ladies and gentlemen
38:16totally illegal would get her banned in
38:18Louisiana Texas and New Orleans but over
38:21here in Lake Las Vegas we allow it
38:25friendly Vibes call it the Lost
38:28I I saw that you were commenting a
38:29little bit on the ike mask controversy
38:32and without digging too much into that
38:34one in general do you think competitive
38:36poker is moving towards letting having
38:38people just do like sunglasses mask and
38:40covering everything possible yeah so
38:42Mike I'm going to check so my take is
38:45this like I'm you know the prisoners
38:47dilemma right like if everybody did what
38:50you were doing what would be the like
38:51long-term effect right right so the
38:53question is you see Kristoff vocal
38:54saying who you know completely covers
38:56himself and all that if everyone did
38:58that what do we have as a viewer right
39:01so again aside from you know the reasons
39:03for wearing masks or whatever I I put
39:05them all in the same category of
39:06covering your face you know like should
39:09you be allowed to cover your face I've
39:11been against sunglasses for a long time
39:12interesting I don't think sunglasses
39:14should be allowed at the poker table I
39:15don't think you should be able to cover
39:16your face yeah right again I understand
39:18you know there are health reasons why
39:19some people you know choose to but it is
39:22undeniable undeniable that it is an
39:24advantage period the question is well if
39:27it's an advantage why doesn't everyone
39:29do it why doesn't everybody do it well
39:31some people don't want to for you know
39:33their own you know reasons but just
39:35because like and again I think it's like
39:38I think it's a bad look if everyone
39:40covers their face and does that sort of
39:41thing what if people only cover their
39:43face when they're playing in tournaments
39:45but if they're on a TV table or anything
39:48like that they're not allowed like Mi I
39:49I don't think it should matter really
39:51because um part of like here's the thing
39:53if you want to play poker without the
39:55physical aspect you can play on GG of
39:57course right you got that for You' got
39:59that available that's what you're you
40:00know you're into if you're afraid to
40:01play Live then go ahead but if you want
40:03to play Live part of it is people skills
40:06and I saw a couple people tweet this and
40:08I'm like man you guys really don't know
40:09what you're talking about then they said
40:11well there's no tails in your
40:12mouth that that is that blew my mind
40:15there any tells in your mouth that you
40:16can share I have a whole book on tells
40:19that are directly from people's mouth HS
40:21lips Smiles awkward Smiles grins smirs
40:25this is going to be me playing heads up
40:26I'm just going to hold a smile enre time
40:29you think so but like I'm telling you so
40:31can you tell like this is a fun exercise
40:32people who want to Wi SP watch five
40:34different Smiles tell me if they're
40:36authentic or fake interesting if you can
40:38fot a fake if you can spot a fake smile
40:40what's the fake smile
40:41about right you like I talk a lot so
40:45part of what I do when I'm talking let's
40:46say I'm trying to I'm trying to get a
40:47read from you I might talk to him and
40:49I'm like why did I even play this hand
40:51so stupid she obviously has it right I'm
40:52actually looking at you right now from
40:54your peripheral yeah so I'm actually
40:56this is God he's such a master take
40:57notes everybody this actually happened
40:59all right I'm going to pause for a
41:00second this actually happened it was
41:01playing in a WBT or something was on the
41:04river the board is like Ace Ace seven
41:06three Deuce yeah I have Ace 10 player
41:09raisin I have Ace Jack so no no I had
41:12yeah I had uh I Ace Jack okay
41:16okay now he bets all all in on the river
41:19and I'm like whoa I don't I mean he
41:21could have a king a so I look at the
41:23deal I go why do he even play this hand
41:24in the first place you know cuz at he
41:26was giggling right he was smiling
41:28laughing cuz you know he's got he knows
41:29he's got the best hand and I go then I
41:30looked and I said what if he just has
41:33like Ace 10 or something and then I
41:34smiling he
41:37went cuz he had A1 so now I made the
41:40call he had h10 he ended up rivering me
41:43actually was on the turn but that's
41:44neither here nor there but the point is
41:46is that people's mouths you know there's
41:49a lot there yeah yeah no I I really love
41:53the psychological aspect of Poker and
41:55that's something that was always missing
41:57in chess where it's literally just
41:59perfect information if you played well
42:02you're usually I mean yes there's some
42:03luck with like opening traps and stuff
42:05like that but most of it how much does
42:07body language play a role in chess when
42:09like you're playing against somebody and
42:10you can tell that they're like like
42:12losing it like they're tilted honest for
42:14most people it doesn't matter at all
42:16doesn't make a difference does not make
42:17a difference like I've heard you know
42:18like guys like uh you know like Magnus
42:21you say that he can tell when his
42:23opponent's like I have 5 seven I don't
42:25think I'm allowed to call that
42:28you're
42:29first
42:31H what to do here do we shove or do we
42:35just
42:36bet I'm enjoying the
42:39conversation okay ra me too but I want
42:42to put it all in all in all in what
42:47there's a five over there I got
42:49Blackjack okay I have five for off yeah
42:52I see you you know should I go all in or
42:54should I bet see that was a that was a
42:56good I I was trying to see if I could
42:57reverse psychology that was actually
42:59quite good okay cuz you made it seem
43:01like you only had two options yeah right
43:03you planted that in my head with like
43:04she has to have a hand Yeah question is
43:06how good so you scared me off of it nice
43:08I just had a good hand no you did I know
43:11yeah it wouldn't have changed what you
43:12did no but now the the thing I do want
43:15to try is I've noticed some of my lifet
43:17Tails but I don't want people to know
43:19I've noticed them and like it would be
43:21really cool to get super good one day
43:23where it's like a fake lifa fake ones
43:25but I don't that feels feels very
43:27ambitious all right I'm going to tell
43:28you what you did on that A6 hand okay
43:30for the for the viewers right the right
43:33now they would have commented already
43:34now you get to see if this is what
43:35happened the Flop came out okay you were
43:37looking at the Flop go ahead mhm oh
43:40noar looking at the Flop you
43:43went flop went out and you were like so
43:46that is the number one at your chips the
43:48most number one basic tell you will find
43:50especially with beginners is the brain
43:51doesn't realize they're doing it you
43:53look at the Flop and if you don't see
43:54anything you like you keep staring right
43:56but sub when you see something you like
43:58the next thing you're going to do is BET
43:59chips so your eyes quickly glance over
44:02there and when you see that I mean if
44:04you can learn how to fake that that'd be
44:06pretty solid oh I'll work on it I don't
44:08know if it's going to work CU as soon as
44:09you did like nope right flag I'm not
44:12betting no I mean and the good thing is
44:14we're talking so I'm on autopilot so I
44:16don't so I don't have the time to catch
44:17myself from doing these but I think even
44:19trying to build these habits and get
44:21them get rid of them even while I'm on
44:23autopilot would be
44:26nice
44:29actually okay so usually the button has
44:32all the aces but you limp so maybe
44:34that's not true so do we bet here I
44:37guess it sounds reasonable to
44:42me actually let's not use Blues let's
44:44keep it simple how much am I supposed to
44:46bet here are you even supposed to bet am
44:48I even supposed to bet all right a I I
44:52looked at my chips you have a king
44:53didn't I or was I trying the fake up I'm
44:56saying do you have a king
44:58do you have a king simple
45:02question I mean it's a simple question
45:04do you have a king I don't know you
45:06could pay and find out not paying I'm
45:09not going to pay but if you have a king
45:10you win M I have a nine that was good
45:14too
45:15okay no maybe should be check trapping
45:18here I mean but then again I had a pair
45:20had had three M if I what was the
45:23correct thing to do there with 98 you
45:25that's a little too thin with 98 for
45:27that size right because you one of the
45:29things you want to think about when
45:30you're you're you're doing one of two
45:31things you're either value betting or
45:33you're bluffing always that's like when
45:35people say why did you bet well I was
45:37think no you're either value betting or
45:38you're bluffing know it either want call
45:40it does feel too thin but it didn't feel
45:42like you had an as or a king there
45:43here's what you need to think about
45:44though generally speaking is my calling
45:48range right yeah if I'm going to call
45:50you there I'm going to call you with an
45:51ace I'm gonna call you with a king yeah
45:53I might call you with a better Nine so
45:54the question is do you beat more hands
45:57do you beat more hands that are going to
45:58call or do you do you lose to more hands
46:00that are no you're right I mean I was
46:01only getting called by better and folded
46:03by worse maybe yeah probably because I'm
46:06good very true yes okay willia will go
46:116,000 again okay fine only because it's
46:14a special hand special hand yeah it's
46:17got a name
46:20okay she's like going through a list of
46:22names dirty diaper Doyle Brunson Robbie
46:28yeah you don't know the old school names
46:30that's true I
46:38don't very small
46:40bet for you don't have anything but I'll
46:43just go all in you have nothing it all
46:45in right you just have nothing okay is
46:48he seeing my cards like what is
46:50happening here this is ridiculous I have
46:52my own favorite hand what's your
46:54favorite hand that's my favorite hand
46:57seven
46:58offsuit figured I just put it in not let
47:01you catch anything you weren't going to
47:03keep
47:03bluffing you were done White Flag I was
47:07done bluffing it was a very weak
47:09Bluff okay so I don't know how to play
47:11when I have less blinds and heads up I
47:14mean I'm assuming probably just all in
47:15all in or fold no you could limp too or
47:19limp probably probably all in or fold
47:21for the most I already said her fold so
47:22I gave away that a we we were going to
47:24get snapped yeah yeah yeah
47:29H can we come back and then the World
47:31Series of Poker you're going to be
47:32playing that yes so then I I'll be
47:34trying to come out here from most of the
47:35WSOP do they have they they have like
47:38women's events right for chess they do
47:40yeah and what do you think of like chess
47:42events and poker events for women I
47:44actually like them just in terms of you
47:47get to make new friends
47:50um and it's nice to have ladies nights
47:53sometime and you just don't really get
47:55it in poker and most of your friends are
47:56dudes so I think it helps you meet
47:58people who you might get along with a
48:00little bit better I don't really have
48:02anything against them okay good yeah cuz
48:04I I'm curious I was curious your take on
48:05that cuz like there's there's two sides
48:07of it right what are the sides of it
48:08well a lot of people have said well
48:10listen it's a game of just intellect so
48:12why it's not a physical game so why
48:14wouldn't you put you know like why would
48:16they have special events for ladies I
48:18think especially because poker is male
48:20dominated that's like a smaller group of
48:22women it's like allowing them to
48:23congregate and play amongst themselves
48:25is a good thing and it's a different
48:26vibe you know like I I believe true
48:29freedom is allowing women to congregate
48:30amongst themselves if they want to
48:31what's wrong with that I I don't see it
48:33as like women need their own section
48:35because they're worse I see it as like
48:36it's sometimes nice to have women
48:38friends who play the same thing you do
48:40yeah I think Robbie right I remember
48:43years ago there some people there was
48:44like a lot of there's always been
48:45discussion about you know are they good
48:47for poker are they bad for poker do they
48:48set a precedence that you know women are
48:51less than they need their own little
48:52category whatever the cas this is
48:54actually something I've been thinking
48:55about female only titles chess where you
48:58know when I when I grew up like it was
49:00cool I was like oh there's this title
49:02because you don't think of it as a kid
49:03but then when I got older I was like I'm
49:05kind of embarrassed to have one of these
49:07because it's kind of implying that the
49:08bar is lower for women in chess um so
49:12I've actually been really torn about
49:14those that's what I was getting at like
49:15is it you know the question is from a
49:18competitive standpoint oh boy here we go
49:20from a competitive standpoint we got
49:22hand she got a real hand I got a Landon
49:25hand Suited poor Landon just getting
49:28getting all the shout outs today um okay
49:32yeah you're you're gonna win this one
49:36again okay you need now a Jack to chop
49:40is it coming nope no how Fe female only
49:44tournaments I'm I feel different about
49:47than female only titles because I think
49:49those events are more just so you can
49:50meet some other people who play the game
49:53but with female only titles that's
49:55making a completely new achievement just
49:58CU you're a female like we don't have
49:59female phds why do we have female titles
50:03but then I asked these young girls when
50:04I'm at tournaments and I'm like what is
50:06keeping what are you excited about in
50:08chest they like I want to get this title
50:10so I see how excited it is exciting it
50:12is for the young girls but I'm also torn
50:15about it so I don't know what the right
50:16answer is I'll tell you so my assistant
50:17who's been playing for you know she's
50:20been with me for a long time she plays
50:21one event a year every year yeah it's
50:23the ladies event that's like her that's
50:25her World Series of Po Main Event she
50:27loves it you know for various reasons
50:29but uh it's like it's an appoint
50:31appointment tournament right I think
50:33there's a lot of women who come into
50:34town specifically for that and I don't
50:36see how there's any like yeah any
50:38downside to it now are we going to have
50:40the argument is it as tough as a all
50:42male tournament or an open tournament no
50:45but that's but that's not the point like
50:47who cares yeah like two and four
50:52yeah yeah do do you think players play
50:55differently against against females yeah
50:58no I think what about pros and amateurs
51:01I think I would say this this is
51:02interesting but of the top females in
51:05the world uhhuh they generally lean more
51:08aggressive than male players the Vanessa
51:10s players too right they generally lean
51:13even more aggressive the ones at the top
51:16now as a whole women in general you
51:18would suspect them to be a little more
51:19passive not as aggressive the top women
51:22are way aggro so Jen shahadi she plays
51:25poker and chess and she wrote a book on
51:26this and she explained how women feel
51:28sometimes like they have to
51:29overcompensate and play more
51:31aggressive every time I again I don't
51:33think I'm supposed to be calling these
51:34no I had a good hand
51:36yeah no that's you know that's actually
51:39like spot-on true that it's interesting
51:41that it's true for both but I also think
51:43too as a woman there are so many
51:45advantages to being a woman right that
51:47you can manipulate in your own you know
51:49to your own benefit right taking
51:50advantage of like the male ego right um
51:54understanding how they perceive you one
51:55way or the other
51:57sometimes they give you breaks take them
51:59you know what I mean like oh you want to
52:00play nice nice with me cool I'm going to
52:02cut your throat but you can play nice
52:04and nice with me all you want
52:06check and also
52:09um like they're um underestimated yeah
52:13in a lot of ways check so you know some
52:16people might be in Sp like yeah a woman
52:17would never be do that a woman wouldn't
52:19Bluff here the the stereo I always hear
52:22that people think women don't Bluff yeah
52:25and then that's what I was going to you
52:26are bullying me and it's not cool but
52:29once again I'm not super excited I had a
52:31big draw okay nice straight flush draw
52:35well both but that's the thing is like
52:38you look at Vanessa selps who kind of
52:39broke the mold really yeah for women in
52:41poker yeah and then you know now Kristen
52:43Foxon super aggressive and a lot of the
52:46women that play at the high stakes
52:47tournaments like I said they're more
52:48aggressive than on average yeah than
52:50than their male counterparts H so then
52:53maybe the reputation is that novice
52:56women don't Bluff but top women are even
52:59more aggressive and this is what well
53:00most people don't I don't think me most
53:02people have actually like thought about
53:03it that way that I have but I've I've
53:05noticed that pattern with women at the
53:07highest levels or generally like for the
53:08compensation reasons but more often than
53:10not people will see oh like a woman at
53:12table yeah I'll just bully her okay if
53:15you know that you can just like trap
53:17them and do you and do you think Pros
53:19think like this too cuz I feel like pros
53:21make so many fewer of these mistakes
53:24they make fewer of them right but you
53:26know we all have our own kind of like oh
53:30how much more not much I have such a bad
