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.
I love looking at Daniels facial expressions when Lex is talking, he is listening intently and concentrating on what is being asked. I want to have that sort of attention in conversations.
@@paulmosman6468 Careful what you wish for. Someone with ADD might be able to easily focus on a conversation like this but struggle hard with other tasks.
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.
I actually got to meet Daniel through the make a wish foundation in 2006 before I had open heart surgery. We played a few hands and after like 3 hands he knew what I had the next hand it was wild. I lost pretty quickly lol, but it was one of my best memories of my childhood. It's nice to see the energy and love he has with poker is the same as it was back then. Great interview Lex.
@@micahpediford Your special if you think everyone that is covered by Make a Wish foundation has gone on to die. I knew a Kid whose heart was too large and had open heart surgery at the age of 8. Before his surgery was sponsored by Make A Wish, due to the likelihood that complications may occur. His heart surgery was a success, but he went on to pass 10 years later
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.
2:20:21 "If an event happens, the event itself is neither good or bad until you assign a value. It can be dramatic, painful, but how you respond to it is ultimately up to you, you actually do have a choice".
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!
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
99% of the people are sheeple with no mindset to learn. They only want to watch Netflix, tik-tok, and complain about having no money. Achiever watch Lex.
Absolutely wonderful. Always enjoyed Negreanu’s POV in Hold em, and his ability is to explain concepts really shined through this podcast...Thanks Lex for being a warm host!
It’s only when Lex does a subject that you’re reasonably intimately close to that you realise this kid does t just turn up and talk. A real dedication to facilitating learning and understanding.
Seriously, I played a lot during the boom around 2005 and for some reason have started watching poker vids on youtube over the last month or so. Then this pops up!
You guys into chess too? Seeing Magnus then Negreanu now is literally pulling from my personal interests... A few others too, but honestly it's insane.
And there it is. I noticed Daniel has a very good and healthy understanding of the human psyche but also mental health in general. Then he shared about his wife, and it all makes sense. You gain so much understanding, when you are open, and mental health from somebody who has overcome difficulties. Its always inspiring.
Kid Poker.. watched this man for years. One of my favs by far. He always had an amazing ability to guess exactly or damn close what his opponent has. Always amazed me.. Excellent podcast!
This was one of my favorite podcasts/interviews. I've been playing poker for over 20 years and used to play full time. I always thought Daniel did a great job of explaining the game and concepts in layman's terms for the sake of teaching or conveying ideas, much like he did here. Then you have Lex who knows little to nothing about the gam, but is a critical and analytical thinker and even without knowing the game is able to discern and ask astute questions. It ended up being a high level thinking component with regards to poker talk and theory/ideology, and I found that fascinating. At the same time, one can ascertain parallels from the critical thinking required for poker to general life and using those same thinking skills.

DNegs arch nemesis Doug would be a good interview. The two of them together would be awesome as well. I’d say DNeg’s idol Mr. Ivey would be great but I doubt he’d say much. Hellmuth would no doubt give the worst interview ever.
@oldschoolpk Uhhh, that's idiotic. He's doing just fine, poker is a cycle, not an ending unless you catch the best luck at hands, fellow players and bluffs and the best luck at cards. I've seen Dnegs weather 30 straight dead card hands and still top 10. What is your "modern" poker? Little kids sucking on their shirts so they don't show a small mouth tick? Wearing a "Kenny" from Southpark deep hoodest sweatshirt so it doesn't show any of his face. Glasses so dark that they openly admit that they can barely see the table? LOL!!! I think that old old guys would rather play without solvers before playing that embarassing flop of shit.
@oldschoolpk you're....not very knowledgeable. Negraneu has over 10 years of online poker (they play both,, einstein) AND he gets 10 million a year from GGPoker. Hmmm, how many final wins can you fit inside 10 million dollars? You people should chat at things you know the answers to.
Wow. Was not expecting this. I’m a huge fan of Daniel. I ended up meeting him at a leafs game. Everyone kept pointing at him, I decided to go chat with him. Amazing dude. Always cracking jokes and just love his approach to life. Stand up guy no doubt
Thank you Lex! Daniel is such a great personality in the world of pro poker players. So interesting to listen to brilliant people speak whatever their career focus is. Great choice of guests once again! 👏👍
Daniel is such an underrated genius. His nonchalant attitude at the table is so practiced and deceiving while luring you into believing he’s just ‘winging it’. His ability to talk shit while simultaneously processing all of the things is unparalleled. Good ish to both of you
I was just casually binging poker videos lately, out of the blue. I fell in love with Daniel Negreanus plays and personality. then bam, podcast on Lex? that's straight up telepathic.
Lex, one of my favorite things about you as an interviewer and podcaster is you truly just ask the expert about what it is they do and you’re genuinely intrigued. Which leads to a fascinating and fun conversation to listen to. You don’t try to inject things that have nothing to do with the person you’re interviewing with and curtail the conversation into something it doesn’t need to be. You’re great, keep it up
Hey Lex, as a Poker Player for the past 55 years, I am 67 and playing for cash since I'm 12 years old, having this young man on is great! I have watched Dan play since he came on the poker scene. When I would watch him a decade ago, he would call guys hands, J Q he'd say... And the fucking guy had J Q!! Or the next best either way... Always blew me away. He has a gift that not too many will ever figure out or get a piece of. The game of Poker is ever evolving in what strategies are available to a player. Remember, one night, you clean up, the next, you get cleaned out. LOL I prefer playing only tournaments these days. Pay the entry for a great payoff. Cash games anymore are too volitile and anyone can make stupid all in bets and hit on the river and take your straight to the cleaners when he hits the flush on the river. Good luck, Lex. Let's play. I'm in NYC!! Greenwich Village!
Lex- man, you're making some podcast dreams come true with this one. Kid Poker is my absolute favorite, and I can't wait to dive into this one! Thanks, brother!
As someone who plays very often and would love to go pro, I’ve never been so captivated by a podcast. This is the kind of conversation I often have with people all the time, and you asked daniel most questions id ask. Love it thanks
im at my mid 20's now and struggling with life and the only thing I target for this video is his lowest point in his life and how he made it what lessons I can learn from his struggles in his younger times❤️
I had the fortunate opportunity to meet Daniel in the Bahamas. He was in the middle of a tournament on his way back to play from the hotel, he stopped and obliged a photo and was as cool a dude as he was here. Love ya Daniel win win win brother!
Daniel is a class act - He heard I was a big fan, got my phone number and called me. Talked like we were boys and was in no rush. He does tons of things for fans/ people and doesn’t need the world to know he’s doing it.
This is super exciting having Daniel on here. I come from the same area of Toronto as he does, and I've been a fan of him.for 20+ years. Good interview lex!
Excellent job Lex, you really held your own for someone not very familiar with the game. I could say its the best poker conversation ive ever heard between two men who aren't both poker pros. Well done.
This has to be the best interview with Daniel and definitely one of the most informative videos on poker I’ve seen. Every player that thinks he is good should watch this. You’ll realize how many mistakes you’re probably making, and if you don’t realize that than you should probably stop playing poker
I've been watching poker for about 20 years. Negreanu has always stood out for me, not necessarily for his skills (although he's made some sick plays, like any high level player has), but for his ability to reinvent himself and keep up with the game. At 47, he's still there with the best of them, always learning and adjusting. It's refreshing to see.
Yeah totally agree. Just in general, the levels of sports professionals has increased dramatically in the last 20 years. I'm english so when I say football, I mean actual football, but players used to have a smoke at half time, and drink loads, and still be at the top. Now it's all nutrician, lifestyle, anything to get an edge, and if you ain't doing all that, you're falling behind. And poker is a great example of this. Watching the plays they used to make in poker 20 years ago, they'd get crushed now. Ranges, blockers, fucking gto. It's unreal. Have to be a nerd to be a winning playing these days, especially online. But Daniel has evolved, he's recognised the situation and adapted to it. It's a credit to him, and I fully respect it. RIP Doyle.
I used to watch Negreanu years ago during my poker phase. Such a good feeling that this interview found its way into my autoplay list. Such a good guy and he deserves all the wins imo. Thx!
This is amazing! D Negs is one of my favorite poker players ever. Following him for years. Watching also his channel. Thank you Lex for this! I have 2 amazing hours ahead of me!
56:27 This little "speech" negreaunu gives here is easily translatable into ANYTHING. Anything. You could do a whole podcast dissecting this one reply. I just love the way Daniel thinks, but more importantly, I think his practice with teaching others has helped him express his thoughts in a fantastic way. I don't even play poker but I've watched it on and off on youtube for years, and this guy has always been the guy I pay attention to the most in any heads-up situation. Watching Daniel and Phil Ivey play heads-up is a fucking work of art. Yin and Yang at the same table and no one else to dilute it. Imma go watch it again.
I don’t know Jack about poker but I loved listening to this !!! Daniel’s passion and enthusiasm is wonderful to hear. Thanks for another incredible guest, Lex!
Idc what people think of Lex Fridman. This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Its not just Daniel Negreanus way of talking into the mic and listening/ waiting but great questions being asked.
Amazing interview. Lex does a great job letting Daniel just open up and talk when he asks those simple questions. My biggest pet peeve is when interviews talk over their guests.
Absolutely loved this interview! Perfect balance in energy between host and guest, with intelligent questions and intelligent answers in equal measure.
Amazing Podcast! It's such a pleasure to listen to Daniel talk Poker - the passion with which he speaks on the game, carefully choosing his words, so beginners and intermediate players alike can understand where he is coming from, it's just awesome to see. A true legend of the game, and it wouldn't be the same without him. Just so fun to listen to at the tables or at a podcast - one of the greatest ambassadors we have in the game (even to this day).
Long time fan. He's added a lot to the enjoyment of the game from a fan perspective. I like how he thinks, and I just think he's a good dude. Like if everything was stripped away he'd still be the same guy, which means he's fully himself as it is, w no superficial ego propped up by success and material things.
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.
Around 30 mins in,you hit on exactly what I have the most fun with at a table...I get to be absolutely ruthless...with a smile on my face. As a bonus, if it's a great table, with great players, I'm welcomed by a group of those who think the same as me.
I think Daniel portrayed himself very well here and the interviewer did a good job of drawing out interesting stories and perspectives. Thanks for making and sharing this material, people.
You don't often, like almost never ever, see "an interview" where the subject respects the questions enough to NOT INTERRUPT and jump ahead to the destination.. and the questioner after asking fully.. then sits and listens to the full answer. Only following up when they arrive at "the spoon in the road". Listened to the whole thing.. amazed at its wholeness.. from both their sides of it. Just great.
Lex, love your approach to every interview. This one was great (as usual)😁 Your voice is the one that it would comfort me even if presenting the meteor entering the atmosphere and ending this world 😇 And Daniel, you grew into a wonderful human that has much to share outside his passion. Thank you for what you shared with us this time 👏👏👏
damn. my dad was a big poker player and wsop watcher when i was young in the 00s. i remember not really understanding anyone at the table's power level, but loving watching specifically daniel play, and being very engaged whenever he was on the tv. he just had such a great personality, good vibes. hello again! :D
for somebody that has limited knowledge of poker (Lex) his questions are not only probing on a high level of poker complexion but able to open up the guest (Daniel) for his incredible data base of knowledge.... absolutely outstanding LEX
When poker was big on tv I used to watch. I never was a player. But Daniel was always my favorite because he just came across like he was always having fun and even if he was trying to get a read on a player, it seemed like he was wanting them to have fun too by the way he would joke about him getting beat. Crazy how popular it was for a few years on television, then it just vanished. Cool to see him again, and not surprised he’s a cool interview.
Really enjoyed it! When you talked about Daniel’s Mom and how she fed people. The first time I saw Daniel playing on TV he was young. Had a packed lunch from his Mom. They showed his Mom. Most people would be concerned it made them look like a Momma’s boy. He didn’t care. He Loved his Mom and didn’t care who thought what. My respect for him began then. 🤙🤙
I'm seeing a lot of correlation between the poker mindset and Trading based on what is being outlined here.. amazing guest. All my interests on one podcast... thanks Lex
There’s definitely lots of overlap. I know several poker pros who have made the transition to trading. Ray Dalio famously hired Vanessa Selbst and Galen Hall as well
What I love about lex Friedman is that even though I don't like the current podcasts, his doing. I can still get the recommended podcasts from 8+ months ago, and they'll still be 🔥
Great seeing Daniel on your show. I was part of the self help group in Vegas (Choice Center) were I got to meet him and several other poker players who also took that course as well as many people from other walks of life. I'm not into the game so I didn't know who he was but after getting to know him and doing to of the "stretches" we all had to do I became a fan of the man. Great guy and really funny. Glad to hear he's happy in love. Wonder if he ever got the six pack abs yet;)
@dnegspoker I've always enjoyed watching you play and watched this interview to get some more insight on your view of the game. However, I have to say, I found that last part about life even more interesting/important. Your high self-awareness, vulnerability and your openness to personal growth, made me respect you even more as a human being. Especially how much you appreciate and love your wife with all her ups and downs showed some tremendous maturity. I've only seen you once live at the WSOP Main 2008 but I hope to run into you again some day.

That's a very interesting interview. It proves that we can learn things about life even from poker players. Especially Daniel.

Absolutely wonderful. Always enjoyed Negreanu’s POV in Hold em, and his ability is to explain concepts really shined through this podcast...Thanks Lex for being a warm host!
He's a master in Omaha and POL too. In fact I think he plays everything other than the 3 card monte going on behind the Belagio.
Never thought id see Daniel interviewed by you Lex. Thanks to both of you for the conversation.
Daniel has mentioned on his RUclips channel that he enjoys watching lex, gothamchess, Hikaru Nakamura, Agadamator, lip reading, etc…
Exactly what I was thinking...

After this, I would LOVE to have a dinner with Daniel, just to have a little chat about anything. What a great human being.
Would you smell his ass?

What I wouldn't give to have a drink and a laugh with Daniel, such a positive energy
Man I'm so happy you did this interview with Daniel. Just awesome
The respect that Daniel has for Phil Ivey is incredibly moving. Top tier conversation as always Lex!
im at my mid 20's now and struggling with life and the only thing I target for this video is his lowest point in his life and how he made it what lessons I can learn from his struggles in his younger times❤️
I think this is one of the most interesting interviews I’ve ever watched.
Such a great personality and human being.
Thanks Lex for this one ❤
I had the fortunate opportunity to meet Daniel in the Bahamas. He was in the middle of a tournament on his way back to play from the hotel, he stopped and obliged a photo and was as cool a dude as he was here. Love ya Daniel win win win brother!
A living legend! I’m all in for this one!
I see what you did there
@@B-RaDD 😉
Daniel is a class act - He heard I was a big fan, got my phone number and called me. Talked like we were boys and was in no rush. He does tons of things for fans/ people and doesn’t need the world to know he’s doing it.
He heard you were a fan from who?
You told him you were a fan ans he called you lol? Thats pretty wild
@@brizzlex1919 yes he did, actually twice
Rephrasing @brizzlex1919 question, how did Daniel hear that you are a big fan?
@@harold7792 I actually met his brother who is also an amazing person. I think he put the word in for me but I’ve never asked 😊
This is super exciting having Daniel on here. I come from the same area of Toronto as he does, and I've been a fan of him.for 20+ years. Good interview lex!
Excellent job Lex, you really held your own for someone not very familiar with the game. I could say its the best poker conversation ive ever heard between two men who aren't both poker pros. Well done.
This has to be the best interview with Daniel and definitely one of the most informative videos on poker I’ve seen. Every player that thinks he is good should watch this. You’ll realize how many mistakes you’re probably making, and if you don’t realize that than you should probably stop playing poker
Unquestionably THE BEST poker interview/discussion by far! Thx, both of you!
I've been watching poker for about 20 years. Negreanu has always stood out for me, not necessarily for his skills (although he's made some sick plays, like any high level player has), but for his ability to reinvent himself and keep up with the game. At 47, he's still there with the best of them, always learning and adjusting. It's refreshing to see.
Yeah totally agree. Just in general, the levels of sports professionals has increased dramatically in the last 20 years. I'm english so when I say football, I mean actual football, but players used to have a smoke at half time, and drink loads, and still be at the top. Now it's all nutrician, lifestyle, anything to get an edge, and if you ain't doing all that, you're falling behind. And poker is a great example of this. Watching the plays they used to make in poker 20 years ago, they'd get crushed now. Ranges, blockers, fucking gto. It's unreal. Have to be a nerd to be a winning playing these days, especially online. But Daniel has evolved, he's recognised the situation and adapted to it. It's a credit to him, and I fully respect it. RIP Doyle.
My worlds of physics and poker are coming together and it is bloody class
Chess, poker, physics, AI. It's all just awesome.
@@MrMcSnuffyFluffy are you ok? Why’d you stop making YT vids?
@@Flameapollo12 prob grew up bro, life goes on
I used to watch Negreanu years ago during my poker phase. Such a good feeling that this interview found its way into my autoplay list. Such a good guy and he deserves all the wins imo. Thx!
This is amazing! D Negs is one of my favorite poker players ever. Following him for years. Watching also his channel. Thank you Lex for this! I have 2 amazing hours ahead of me!
Been watching Daniel since Late Night Poker on GSN. So stoked for this interview
High stakes poker you mean
Daniel is awesome. This was a great episode.
Such a refreshing feeling to see this interviewer, to the point and did his homework. Listens and reacts with good questions! Kudos Lex!

This little "speech" negreaunu gives here is easily translatable into ANYTHING. Anything. You could do a whole podcast dissecting this one reply. I just love the way Daniel thinks, but more importantly, I think his practice with teaching others has helped him express his thoughts in a fantastic way. I don't even play poker but I've watched it on and off on youtube for years, and this guy has always been the guy I pay attention to the most in any heads-up situation. Watching Daniel and Phil Ivey play heads-up is a fucking work of art. Yin and Yang at the same table and no one else to dilute it. Imma go watch it again.
I don’t know Jack about poker but I loved listening to this !!! Daniel’s passion and enthusiasm is wonderful to hear. Thanks for another incredible guest, Lex!
Daniel is just a cool and humble guy. Appreciate him being so successful and sharing his knowledge.
Daniel is a nutcase & genius, and should be consider one of our greatest poker influencers of all time.
Idc what people think of Lex Fridman. This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Its not just Daniel Negreanus way of talking into the mic and listening/ waiting but great questions being asked.
Amazing interview. Lex does a great job letting Daniel just open up and talk when he asks those simple questions. My biggest pet peeve is when interviews talk over their guests.
Daniel had so many teaching words in this. A great conversation.
Absolutely loved this interview! Perfect balance in energy between host and guest, with intelligent questions and intelligent answers in equal measure.
Just heard the whole podcast over a 3 day period. Thank you Sir Lex Fridman and thank you Sir Daniel Negreanu
Amazing Podcast! It's such a pleasure to listen to Daniel talk Poker - the passion with which he speaks on the game, carefully choosing his words, so beginners and intermediate players alike can understand where he is coming from, it's just awesome to see. A true legend of the game, and it wouldn't be the same without him. Just so fun to listen to at the tables or at a podcast - one of the greatest ambassadors we have in the game (even to this day).
first time in my life I watch a podcast end to end, he genuinely looks like a very nice guy, props to Daniel!
Long time fan. He's added a lot to the enjoyment of the game from a fan perspective. I like how he thinks, and I just think he's a good dude. Like if everything was stripped away he'd still be the same guy, which means he's fully himself as it is, w no superficial ego propped up by success and material things.
Glad you guys linked up!
Lex is a better recommendation algorithm than RUclips
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.
Around 30 mins in,you hit on exactly what I have the most fun with at a table...I get to be absolutely ruthless...with a smile on my face. As a bonus, if it's a great table, with great players, I'm welcomed by a group of those who think the same as me.
I think Daniel portrayed himself very well here and the interviewer did a good job of drawing out interesting stories and perspectives. Thanks for making and sharing this material, people.
One of the best pod casts I have ever watched. Thank you
This was such a treat. A true poker great. Thanks from the people, Lex.
Lex has a unique skill of making all of his guests comfortable so that they all "spill the beans", just like Daniel does
People who have either a lot of beans or very valuable beans are just begging for the right opportunity to spill them
@@jordanlewis4308 valuable beans lmao, im gonna use that from now on xD
Kindness
And he is humble
It helps that Dnegs is a big talker
You don't often, like almost never ever, see "an interview" where the subject respects the questions enough to NOT INTERRUPT and jump ahead to the destination.. and the questioner after asking fully.. then sits and listens to the full answer. Only following up when they arrive at "the spoon in the road". Listened to the whole thing.. amazed at its wholeness.. from both their sides of it. Just great.
One of the best interviews I ever heard, thanks .
I need more of this interview... 2 hours with you guys are not enough. Great guest!
Lex, love your approach to every interview. This one was great (as usual)😁
Your voice is the one that it would comfort me even if presenting the meteor entering the atmosphere and ending this world 😇
And Daniel, you grew into a wonderful human that has much to share outside his passion.
Thank you for what you shared with us this time 👏👏👏
Lex is probably the best conversationalist the internet has. The level of his content is so deep and surreal. Keep going brother, more power to you!
Calm down
Daniel is such a gem. He is my favorite famous person. And Lex is a great Interviewer. Smart people do their homework.
damn. my dad was a big poker player and wsop watcher when i was young in the 00s. i remember not really understanding anyone at the table's power level, but loving watching specifically daniel play, and being very engaged whenever he was on the tv. he just had such a great personality, good vibes. hello again! :D
Never disapoint, u always get the best guests
When he explained a leveling war going back and forth I immediately thought of “so I can clearly not choose the cup in front of me”
So you’ve made your choice then?
Lol... great trivia reference.
One of the best interviews I've seen!
Daniel`s mindset is just awesome.
for somebody that has limited knowledge of poker (Lex) his questions are not only probing on a high level of poker complexion but able to open up the guest (Daniel) for his incredible data base of knowledge.... absolutely outstanding LEX
That’s a great interviewer
So excited to see Daniel hes my favourite poker player. Thanks Lex for having awesome guests on!
Tom and Phil and the other Phil were always fun as well
@@B-RaDD For sure seeing them all play is awesome. I really enjoyed watching them back in the day on Poker After Dark.
Daniel was at his best version in this podcast..no wonder he went on to win 1st in the High Roller. Inspiring to say the least 👏
Liv boeree and negreaneu in such a short space of time! Feel very lucky for these 2 worlds to be colliding, please have more poker pros on
such an excellent interview, great questions, great depth, great answers.
Daniel is such an open, fun loving, giving person...
Thanks
When poker was big on tv I used to watch. I never was a player. But Daniel was always my favorite because he just came across like he was always having fun and even if he was trying to get a read on a player, it seemed like he was wanting them to have fun too by the way he would joke about him getting beat. Crazy how popular it was for a few years on television, then it just vanished. Cool to see him again, and not surprised he’s a cool interview.
Really enjoyed it! When you talked about Daniel’s Mom and how she fed people. The first time I saw Daniel playing on TV he was young. Had a packed lunch from his Mom. They showed his Mom. Most people would be concerned it made them look like a Momma’s boy. He didn’t care. He Loved his Mom and didn’t care who thought what. My respect for him began then. 🤙🤙
Thank you for this guest! I love his poker style.
I'm seeing a lot of correlation between the poker mindset and Trading based on what is being outlined here.. amazing guest. All my interests on one podcast... thanks Lex
There’s definitely lots of overlap. I know several poker pros who have made the transition to trading. Ray Dalio famously hired Vanessa Selbst and Galen Hall as well
Yes they are both rigged filled wirh bots,
Cheaters and theifs.
Online poker isnt poker
This is the interview I never would have thought about you doing, but one I'm so happy you did
What I love about lex Friedman is that even though I don't like the current podcasts, his doing. I can still get the recommended podcasts from 8+ months ago, and they'll still be 🔥
Thoroughly enjoyed the wisdom and humanity of Negruanu in and out of poker. Good work Lex.
Great seeing Daniel on your show. I was part of the self help group in Vegas (Choice Center) were I got to meet him and several other poker players who also took that course as well as many people from other walks of life. I'm not into the game so I didn't know who he was but after getting to know him and doing to of the "stretches" we all had to do I became a fan of the man. Great guy and really funny. Glad to hear he's happy in love. Wonder if he ever got the six pack abs yet;)
Thanks again for a great guest to interview, Lex!
My man! This is gold!! For real, thank you!
@dnegspoker I've always enjoyed watching you play and watched this interview to get some more insight on your view of the game. However, I have to say, I found that last part about life even more interesting/important. Your high self-awareness, vulnerability and your openness to personal growth, made me respect you even more as a human being. Especially how much you appreciate and love your wife with all her ups and downs showed some tremendous maturity. I've only seen you once live at the WSOP Main 2008 but I hope to run into you again some day.
