Daniel Negreanu: Poker | Lex Fridman Podcast #324

daniel is one of the best podcast guests ive ever seen on a podcast. he never interupts, hes so descriptive with his answers. it just works so well with him.

lex never fucking fails to deliver.

2M subscribers is SO freaking underrated for a channel that brings in this caliber of guests, not to mention a host that can talk the talk in so many different fields

One of Daniel’s superpowers is his ability to chat with anyone.

Never seen or even heard of Lex Fridman, but I do appreciate his interview style. Straight to the point questions, and ALLOWS the person to fully answer. So many times in these sort of interviews the host tries to control the convo or allows their ego to chime in too much. Instead he allowed a poker legend share more than he has in the past 20+ years. Great job!

Hands down the best poker interview I've ever seen. Lex is asking and picking up all the right questions and Daniel is answering them in a way that the layman can understand. This is a must for beginner players and casual fans alike.

“They’re not typically gonna eat food in the middle of a hand.” PH: “Someone bring me a sandwich!”

2:13:14 "Have your moment of grief, allow yourself to experience it, so that you can reassemble". This little diamond of wisdom has been truly lost for the past decades. Daniel is a great one.

I've seen Daniel call other players' hands on numerous occasions. "So you have fives, huh?" YEP. "I guess you got suited connecters...what, seven, eight?" YEP. "Sitting on a open-ended straight draw..." YEP.
