They should have done this the other way around - see if Negreanu can detect other people lying better than the machine.

durrrr would send the lie detector to valuetown.

Tony G would've called time on the lie detector results

Phil Hellmuth would've complained about the lie detector calling his raise with 8-3 offsuit, and then defeating Hellmuth!

This is kind of lame, Daniel isn't good because he bluffs, in fact he very rarely bluffs. He is good because he knows exactly what cards the other players have. (almost magically)

Phil Ivey would be a better test subject

Cool premise. Lame execution. The show's annoying.

Daniel was a terrible choice. He doesn’t bluff very often and when he does, since he does it so little, everyone thinks he’s not bluffing. If he were up against the lie detector in a test to see who’s better, that’s a good test. Daniel can read your cards even if you don’t pick them up.

Dwan is more bluff oriented than Daniel. Daniel can read lies better than he can get away with them.

Every thing about this screams "2010"

Phil Ivey would dominate the machine.

They should have asked him 50-100 questions, and got the percentages of how often the machine made a mistake.

Daniel is an expert at reads, need Dan for bluffs

Very interesting, thank you for uploading!

"Hi i'm Daniel! Who are you?" LOL xD Best part :D

“ put a object in front of you “ puts WomAn

How have I never seen this, Laak and Negreanu are my two faves!

@ba32107 it's like his next sentence was going to be, "ha haaaa... take that, alll reds" LOL!

Damn daniel

Should have brought Phil Ivey -- The master bluffer

Daniel isn't famous for his bluff, though. He is famous for his ability to read his opponents tells. He is also amazing at the small talk to get all the small details that he needs to know what the person has.

Thanks for the upload!!! From 2019 people

Strong choice of player... Daniel is one of the most honest players I've seen lol

This video had all the things I like in it

"...when he's looking at a strong pair" LMAO

"Hi, I'm Daniel. How are you?" LOL

Is nobody else gonna mention the fact that when the narrator said "a strong pair" at the end he may have been referring to breasts?

this is hella cool! :D

Could you tell me why it's not?

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA, that cancel at end. LOL

@JETemplar thats absolutely right!

so would it be a viable tactic to try breathing faster and doing everything you can to speed the beating of your heart/sweat when answering the calibration questions truthfully?

I love the last part.

now he cant be all loosey goosey on the table

@ba32107 I know they did. I was referring to the 25 people that gave your comment a thumbs up.

what about Durrr?

That pun at the end

sometimes the risk is absolutely necessary though bluffing well can give you a huge advantage in poker...

But poker is not about your heart rate, the other players don't see that. It's about your signals and ability to keep a poker face and read signals given by other players.

Its funny cuz Daniel doesn't bluff so much. What he is really famous for is his incredible read of other players. Often he just spells their cards and he turns out to be right.

gave me a good laugh, thanks

You're right about that. And I'd agree that cheerleading is a sport. But tell me- is Candyland a sport?

He's even admitted before that he isn't a very good liar. PokerStars season 2, episode 2 (or possibly 3) he says it himself. He's good at poker cause he can read other people so well, and he's just very strategical.

worked out how to balance his bluffs and value well played sir

Does anyone else think that if they were on a lie detector test it would detect a lie on you no matter what because of how worried you'd be that it'd detect a lie?

I'm Jaeger, it's so nice to meet you.

"The machine just called my raise with 8-3 offsuite honey!"

They will count their "outs" however. When you think you need to improve your hand to win at showdown you can count up how many cards left in the deck will improve your hand and work out the odds of one of them being dealt. You can then make a statistically correct decision based on the money in the pot vs. how much it is to call (this is called "pot odds") and you can even factor in how much more money you think you can get from your opponent should you make your hand ("implied pot odds")

@logipi79 Yes, some people already pointed that out. I thought it was the host who said that, but it was the guy who operated the polygraph. My mistake.

i respect that. plus you got scottie and michael as your default and im from chicago. good choice.

who is the model

I always believe people can train to lie to a lie detector (so it can't be admissible in a court and also it is far for 100% acurrate maybe), like special agents, soldiers or spys if they get caught by the enemy. This guy Daniel train to lie to people not to a lie detector. I think is completlely different, people will see your eyes, gestures, movements and all that and the polygraph doesn't see that, it is measuring his levels of stress and anxiety, so Daniel isn't concern to be less stress, he is concern of don't show it with his eyes and movements in a poker game.

you sir, you have a lengendary comment right there

When in poker do you answer yes and no questions when someone asks you what hand youve got?

The fact that the lie detector thought he was lying at the end, proves that lie detectors can't always be relied on.

I'm precisely on the same boat as you. Although poker hasn't been mathematically "perfected," it's certainly evolved to an insane degree due to massive amounts of analysis being performed on it. That being said, I'm also shite at it XD

Who's the model what's her name

"I can sit at anyone's home game not look at my cards and guarantee to win almost every time" Sorry Daniel... you're an amazing player... but not even Stu could pull that off.

"Is there a dog in a tutu in front of you?" "Yes, and she's kind of fat."

they did hin dirty at the the end😂

"hi i'm Daniel...Who are you?" LOL!!!

Considering that this was uploaded in 2009....

I don't mean to sound like an idiot but I'm trying to learn somethin. In my general phy class we learned about probability, statistics and controlled experiments, but I don't see how this relates to a experiment that is not about percentage or "how many are x out the bunch". Could you explain to me a lil.

What is it episode?

oh cool, i watched the video too!!

@lollerz16 thanks!

Negreanu is great, love this guy. And yes, poker is a very complex strategy sport which requires a great deal of experience and knowledge. Anyone can win one hand at random, but winning constantly like these guys do requires talent and focus.

and there's something else: STRESS doesn't just happen when you lie, it's when you feel something less than 100% comfort/confidence. Last night in a live casino poker room I had AA under the gun, and of course loose gamblers called my reasonably big raise, first one then another; 5 of us saw a flop. And I recall my heart racing HUGE and my blood pressure higher BEFORE the flop was dealt (it was JcTh8h; SB bet small, then BB raised huge, I wisely folded -- they chopped, BOTH had Q9o!).

LMAO at the end

They did him dirty at the end, poor Daniel

You have to be able to lose or win in some way. I would argue any activity can be considered a sport. All you need is an association. I guess we could start the NSAASA - National Schooling As A Sport Association. :)

Is there anyone that pronounces his last name right?

Although I agree that Daniel's not the best at this aspect of poker (he does have obvious tells at times) and that someone like Phil Ivey or Tom Dwan would be much suited for this, Daniel still did good. I mean, he adapted to the machine and basically played back at it. It's basically saying now he could probably commit a crime, have him investigated with the detector and still get away with it. Awesome clip!

Yeah I can understand that people who compete in those things probably don't like it to be called just a game, but I'm not sure that's enough to just overlook what the definition of a sport actually is. I suppose the definition could vary and I don't want to quote google definitions lol, but it does mention physical exertion from what I've seen. I would say sports, chess, pool, etc can all rest in the competitive game category together happily, since sports are games too.

sport isnt just about sweating, exercising or being physical. its also about mental brain , and adjustments

Next time I plan to bluff someone, I'm gonna look at my chips and look back at them so they think I have a good hand. lol

Greg Mueller dislocated his shoulder mucking his cards.

How Epic would it be that the Lie Detector would write DURRED if it was hooked up to Tom Dwan.... LOLZ...

Ya even girls hearts would go up I know mine did

Have you ever heard about Expected Value? Failure can happen in any sport. I'm sure you often hear from athletes phrases like "today is not my day." When you are doing everything right and still failing. Success in the long run. In all sports.

From wikipedia: "Chess is a recognized sport of the International Olympic Committee"

He did have Queen High beat. Everyone at the table had Queen-high beat. The table paired tens.

Kinda funny because he did have Queen-High beat technically since there was a pair of tens on the board..... just a thought.

I would REALLY love to see Ivey in Daniel's place

lol rejected in the end

depends on what definition of sport somebody has. games like poker or chess are very competitive and the performance depends not only on ones knowledge of the game, but also on the mental state. those games are considered mind sports. weightlifting is mainly about pure strenght, a hockey player needs to be physically strong, but also have understanding of tactics. for mind games you don't need to be an athlet at all. show-wrestiling is athletic, but not competitive. is that sport?

Patrick Antoninus would be great at this

Neg is perpetuating the myth that poker is all about reading.

So watching youtube with a friend is a sport as well?

@neills Ohh I thought it was the host guy who said that, not the polygraph guy. Fair enough then.

Daniel is great ! i enjoy his poker games

I would've liked to have seen Phil on the lie detector to see how Daniel would compare at reading him.

Is it a coincidence that the machine detected a lie all times?

Daniel is feeding the machine what he wants for this demo.

Mike Matusow got repetitive strain injury in his shoulders and arms

Surely it's just a bit unfair if someone can wear a hoodie and dark sunglasses while playing poker

i can fail the entire polygraph.

is too

The polygraph went all in with 2,6 o , honey.

strong pair of what?
