We're back with another hand breakdown but this time we're looking at a hand from Chess Master Magnus Carlsen. While Magnus isn't a Poker Professional, I really like the way he plays this hand and I share my insight on why he might've made the moves he did.

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.

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!

@@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.

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 2 жыл бұрын

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 2 жыл бұрын

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 8 ай бұрын

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.

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.

In poker you can make the exact same plays but get different results. Just stay strong and you'll know which play is correct.

Nice to see the goat of texas holdem plays chess and watches Gotham Chess. What a hand for Magnus! You guys should meet and make a little chess and poker video! Both games have interesting tactics 😊

@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.

Fantastic poker analysis! Just geeky enough for casual fans to dive a bit deep. Thank you!

There are too many shitty things going on in the world to keep track of, but one of the coolest things about being alive at this particular moment in time is how we all of a sudden get to see some of the greatest players of all time just talking and chilling while they play their games. Works for both poker and chess, as well as video games and all kinds of other stuff. Watching top poker players just talk during a session or watching Magnus talk while playing chess is absolutely fascinating.

Chess is a great game not just for poker skills though as it teaches patience and the ability to see. Lasker's missive after all is 'when you see a good move, stop, think and find a better one' Jen Shahade is very well known across both poker and chess worlds, plus still can't believe Alexandra Botez' taking down of Hellmuth and co recently also.

lol, I remember you as Kid Poker when I was younger, now you're rocking the Canadian Lumberjack beard. Looks good just a fascinating transformation from when I watched poker on TV in the aughts/early 2010's. Poker theory has come a long way since then these breakdowns are fascinating and the parallels between Chess and Poker are also fascinating. Shame I'm nowhere near as good as Magnus at chess and nowhere near as good as you at poker.
