      @@wasabigamer9235 if you consider what they do as 'gambling' per se. its certainly a gamble in that you can make all the right moves and still lose your buy in, however imagine a game where we roll 2 dice and i pay you $10 if its 2-8 but you pay me $10 if its 9-12.. this game is technically 'gambling' but you are certain that given enough runs you will come out ahead since you win 7 of the outcomes compared to my 4 for the same exact price. a poker pro playing against a novice is a similar proposition. sure they will lose their fair share of individual outcomes but over time they will end up with more chips than you.

      he's way out of his depth at this level. like the 88 hand had no showdown value(bluffcatcher) and good opponents value range is higher pairs that can fold. Plus trying to learn how to play your $10 MTTS by watching $25k buyins is the antithesis of useful, they are opposites.
      What I admire about Daniel is his longevity, discipline and dedication to keep improving. Not an easy thing to do for 25 years and traits that will make you successful in almost any field

    I love this analysis. Too many hand reviews are of exceptional hands - they're obviously the ones that generate interest. But it seems to me poker is won and lost in the trenches with hands that aren't as exciting.

      Yes, yes and yes. So many difficult decisions are made that don't have any real value if you only look at the +/- BBs/chips earned. I'm still trying to master that concept, but like mastering poker itself, it'll never happen, but I'll never stop trying :)

      For me, though a poor player, massively lacking in knowledge as well as composure to settle and think properly through situations at the table midhand, I have an opinion on your point.
      Poker is absolutely lost from the outset if you can't navigate the trenches as you say, but it is most definitely won with the strategy applied going over the top! The big hands, the big moments. Having the fortitude to make decisions for either straight up or essentially your tournament life. That includes letting go of very good hands, but also committing to a few well timed bluffs.
      So much easier said than done.
      I say this because often I will make 200 correct(ish) decisions over hours that leave me up... but then 1 in hindsight obvious mess up that takes 1 minute can eradicate all the good work.
      And so working on those big moments then really is the difference.
      I say this as someone who out of my last 10 live tournaments has 4 cashes including a 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place. Only £1700 winnings, but I feel I've a valid point.
      I am bad though compared to others and I damn well know it 😅
      Those books and poker magazines of 10 to 15 years ago really are mostly outdated now!!

      @@GreatBritishBeast I cannot agree with you more. I have placed high in several tournaments where I was not playing well after the flop but won a few preflop all-in hands for big pots.
