    In the chess community a running joke is that Magnus is able to "squeeze water from a stone", in chess terms that would mean to manage to squeeze out a win from a theoretically drawn endgame, or to clutch out a draw from a seemingly lost position.

    I think you can 100% say Magnus knew everything you were talking about, maybe with the exception of how heavily his range indicated the A♠️. He’s used to having game plans and reading his opponents’ intentions based on their movements, so that blocker bet (being a change in behaviour from his opponent) would have completely tipped off Magnus what he had and left Magnus with just the question of what he needs to bet to bluff him off of it.

      @@roman343 Larry Kaufman:
      Magnus doesn't generally play such great openings, he strives to get the game out of book as early as possible usually. I think the issue here is that his greatest strength is the endgame, but FRC games are much more likely to be decided in the middlegame as the players are on their own so early. That's probably why he doesn't shine as brightly in FRC as in Classical chess.

    @Daniel Negreanu One misconception that poker players make about chess: Chess is NOT a "full information" game, because the tree of variations is simply too wide to calculate to the end. In fact, not even the best chess computers can calculate lines to the end. There are more available chess moves in a game than atoms in the universe. Chess players must make sort of %EV determinations almost every move.

    Chess and poker both give me the same feeling. For example, in a chess tournament; after a long think, I come up with what I think is the best move and then right as I'm moving the piece, my heart skips a beat and I forget to breath for like 2 or 3 seconds. The same sensation happens right when I make what I think is a big bet as a bluff. What is cool about Daniel Negreanu and Magnus Carlsen is that they are among the best at their prospective sports and dabble in the other for an intellectual challenge. As for me, I'm stuck in the "above average" category for both. Another name for that is, "I'm not making money at this" category. Love your content Daniel, just subscribed!

    Daniel: look how genius magnus is, evaluating all of the probable ranges and coming up with this great bluff based on pot percentages and reading his opponent
    Magnus, probably: hmmm.... aces seem pretty good. I guess I'll bet

    First time watching one of your videos. I’ve watched videos of poker containing you and I watch a decent amount of chess to. Love both games. Love watching Magnus Carlson. This was a great video to watch and I’m glad there’s so much content out there on RUclips for something like poker or chess. Keep up the high quality videos.

    Just realized that if you're holding Pocket Aces (with no spade) you can represent the Ace of Spades, since it is unlikely your opponent holds an Ace. Is this correct DNegs?

    • @riddlevidz9825
      @riddlevidz9825 2 года назад

      That's not correct. While it's true that your opponent is less likely to hold an ace, he's still just as likely to hold the ace of spades specifically when you have aces without the ace of spades.

  • @spencerlee3201
    @spencerlee3201 2 года назад +2

    That's an interesting spot! I was a bit surprised about his river raise sizing. With 180 in the pot I would have thought all in would have been the sizing of choice to better polarize the range (I'm likely mistaken here and am interested what the solver says on optimal sizing).
    Love these hand reviews Daniel, keep em coming!

    • @jedinxf7
      @jedinxf7 2 года назад +2

      i think 100k is enough to bluff off nearly anyone who wouldn't call you all in. magnus is representing the A of spades with some serious plausibility here, but he also doesn't have it, and a player doesn't have to fold if he is not convinced. so, why not hold back a reserve? either you win the exact same pot as you would by bluffing him all in, or you unfortunately lose a pretty big pot but at least survive to the next hand and a chance to win it back.

    • @jedinxf7
      @jedinxf7 2 года назад

      also from what I've heard (I haven't used one yet but it's official I have got to start) solvers can be a little weird about pot sizing. not wrong, obviously, just not always what a human would expect.

    • @xdc64
      @xdc64 Год назад

      Think about it for a second, what edge do you gain here with all in, when you only win if he folds? You gain +0 if you win because he folds, but you lose hell of a lot more. Also as you said all-in is more polarizing, and an all in here would look fishy to be honest, because if he has the Ace of Spades he wouldn't want to scare me aways from the pot, he would want to bet a range that I would actually call with a lesser flush. (Sorry I know I'm 1 year too late with this reply, but I just found this gem.) That 100k was a perfect raise to be honest.

    • @CRT4Dummies

    Daniel, I've had COVID this week and got bored in isolation, so one of the things I did to kill time was watch RUclips, and stumbled across poker via your podcast interview with Lex Fridman. I knew nothing about poker aside from "you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em". So, nothing. I quickly learned about you, Ivey and Hellmuth, and devoured a good couple of days' worth of content. Loved it. Especially loved you and your reads! That's the real deal feel... I love seeing you still active, still learning, and now here, giving back your knowledge. I downloaded Poker Stars on my phone and am finding my way. It's early days but I want to enter some local events here in Australia, see how I go face to face. Anyway, I'm also a massive chess fan, and it feels a little odd seeing Carlsen in *this* context when he is the cool, calm destroyer of the chessboard. Thank you for showcasing him and explaining his thought processes here. I'm also glad to hear you play a little chess! Do you play online on Lichess.org? If it's cool with you I want to play you! Cool if not, maybe one day we'll cross paths on a poker table. All the best to you my man.

    I had a hand exactly this where I was in Magnus' position. I played it exactly like Magnus and got called in pretty much the exact same situation. It was a hard call for my opponent, he tanked for a while, but ultimately called. What was frustrating was on one hand I felt like I made an awesome play and it just didn't work out, then on the other hand I felt like I got too fancy and just over played. I was really into poker but that hand has made me take a break. Thanks for posting this I needed to see it.
