Poker Teaches

[2lasiiJAkuppi]

I wish i could listen to smart ppl talk all day long and ask them questions about their philosophies :) Damn im gonna start looking up where i can go listen to ppl giving lectures about stuff i find interesting. Its fun to watch them online but i cant ask about stuff and its not the same if you send an e-mail as it is when you ask a person a question face to face. Then again the e-mail thing is not dumb if you think about where i live and where most interesting global entrepreneurs are.

instead of Bloch, Duke and Lederer,

get some more feel oriented players next time like Matusow,Ivey, Dwan or Negreanu! Or at least hire players that excel at mathematic poker playing like Cunningham, Galfond, Ferguson etc.

These are the ones you can learn the most from these days...

Poker doesn't ruin people have ruined poker.

She guessed.

There's just not enough information to deduce the correct outcome.

The best the poor girl can do is guess.

This time she got it right.

Way to go girl with the silly red hat...you're a princess now.

This sure beats having to kiss a pond full of frogs.

Something is wrong at this video because there are so many comments removed and flagged.

[IPAWNMYQUEENS]

nesson rocks

[rizlas2]

18:14 xD hahahahahahhaah

[StreatZy]

ok seriously im sure i dont stack up to the audience, but come on, on the riddle these people seriously dont get it, i got it the second he said everyones raising their hands

[shadyjae]

He said the riddle wrong.

[gqstan1]

you are incorrect oedivelgoog, in fact he explains it at 24:00, its called deduction in formal logic

[oedivelgoog]

She didn't know the color of her hat, she guessed.

She guessed because sitting down she had a 0% chance of marriage but standing up first and guessing she had a 50% of getting it right.

However if one of the other girls had stood before her and guessed first then her odds of marriage decrease due to the other girl having a 50% of getting it right.

Her odds decrease even more if both girls stand and guess before her

So she took the best odds, stood first, and guessed 'red'.

[tpotcardiff]

cool guy. gotta love poker.

Mad Mike Caro's threshold of misery is also a good concept.

good luck at the tables :)

[Roshibear]

His explanation sucks. It is still relevant what color hat you have on. The important consideration is that there isn't enough information for A to figure out there own hat color if B and C both have on red hats and raising their hands until person imagines a hypothetical from the perspective of the other participants. It then becomes clear that if this hypothetical were true then a certain behavior would occur. That behavior is not occurring and so therefor the hypothetical can not be true...

[Roshibear]

The analogy to poker then is that poker begins when you start getting into the mind of your opponents, but it still matters what cards-- or by analogy-- what hat your wearing.

As Jennifer Harmon says poker is easy you just have to ask yourself what does your opponent have. Then ask yourself what does your opponent think you have. Then ask yourself what does your opponent think that you think they have. Then ask yourself... well I think you get the picture.

[StarsShooter]

I believe that This is the perfect intro to promote poker as a sport. When you compare some Olympic Sports to a poker,they have so much incomon that there is no reason for poker not to be promoted as a sport.

Do the homework: compare following sports to a poker and you will see many things incomon:

Archery ,Auto racing ,Boardsports ,Fishing and so many more. Might sound bit silly to you but when you think logicaly it does makes sence.

[lankeled38]

Can someone who thinks they figured out the riddle post the results?

Charlie Nesson rocks!

[zprager]

Here's why she figured it out...if the girl who answered had a white hat on, then one of the other girls would be able to answer the question immediately. Here's why: if the girl who answered it correctly was wearing a white hat, one of the others girls would see a red hat, a white hat, and 2 hands up. From that information, it would be easy to deduce that your hat was red instead of white.

[zprager]

The girl that got it right realized that since on one had an answer after 15 seconds , that this wasn't the case and her hat must be red.

[Metlahaed]

wow, i figured the white hat red hat thing as it was being said, and im 19 are people really that retarded? bad video i wasted a lot of my time.

[Roshibear]

If you had really understood then I don't believe you would say that the video is a waste of time. I understand fully well what Neeson was getting at, and much more as my whole occupation currently is Game theory and Gambling Theory; and I still found it interesting and worth while. So then between the two possibilities that you really understood what was being advanced and found it worthless or that you didn't really get the full subtle implications. I am inclined to go with the later.

old man is high 24/7 hahaha

[vietnamdude]

well.. thanks u for clip

[twooutstwice]

For all of you who play online poker but don't use rakeback, realize that you have a huuuge leak. Each month you can be getting a portion of all the rake taken from the pots you were DEALT in. Thats right you don't even need to be involved in the hand. Just be dealt in and fold.... Siick eh?

rakeback*twooutstwice*com

replace * with .

[zxcfight]

the whole red and white hat thing.

I knew that before they did and i attend a a com college and they are harvard?

[peterhill2008]

I really enjoyed watching this video. The speech of Professor Nesson and Andrew Woods were not only humorous, but also interesting and educational. I highly recommand it.

[pokerpro1078]

99 percent of degenerate gamblers are not poker players thats a fact so learn your facts

[terryhi]

gambling doesn't ruin lives, people ruin lives.

[1ToNJaB]

Ive learned alot about poker by watching this. Ive been obsessed with this game for about 16 months. The more I learn, the more I learn about myself and the society in general, thru internet poker and live play. I would say I am a little better than a break even player, in over 100,000 (cash)poker hands. I have learned a LOT about the mathmatics of poker thru internet, but nothing beats LIVE play. Live play will teach you a lot about yourself and the people you interact with in your life.

[fredwoof]

Of course you should play poker for fun until

you get fairly good at it. Then switch to nickle/dime games & work your way up.

[b75ax]

i love the indian accent

[eurythmech]

Congrats on the most retarded youtube comment ever.

[zeejustin6]

lmao

[L0RENZ02002]

Poker can teach you a lot.

Play online big or small tournament with free money

and you don't risk a dime, but you can learn very much.

A table poker is the place where you can learn from

your errors and change your behaviour. Guarantee!

This will help you in real life as well

to stay alive on the long run!

[xentan]

Poker for free, in my oppinion, can not teach you as much as poker for _your_ money. Because there is no risk involved in the loss. I believe that it is this risk that helps us and tries to keep us from making mistakes at a poker table. There are other factors aswell, but risk in loss of money brings poker to a state of being serious.

And it is in no way Guaranteed. Believe me! Thats why good players win money in the long run ;)

[xentan]

To clarify:

By in no way it is being guaranteed, i mean that there is in no way implied that you will learn anything for playing poker. You may, if you want to.

[Roshibear]

Well I don't know if the risk is directly responsible for teaching you anything. It's just that poker doesn't exist without money. The game itself cannot be maintained without the risk. No risk, no poker. If you had people who decided to take poker just as seriously and try to play as optimally without money, and hence without real financial risk, then you could in fact learn just as much. And really even if other people don't play this way without money you still can, it's just that then...

[Roshibear]

it's just not a very enjoyable experience.

As a matter of fact when I first started learning the game three years ago, there was a group of us who would play in Jennifer Harman's play stakes room on Fulltilt. We all took the game seriously, and anybody who didn't never lasted long because everybody else playing as optimally as they could. In this way a relatively high standard of play was maintained in that room. And we were all practicing to play as optimally as we were capable.

[Roshibear]

Most of the regular players were affiliated with Trip aces poker forum. At the time this was the biggest play stakes available on Fulltilt and our play chip stacks all grew from the many other players who would come in and try and take a shot.

It was a great learning environment and there was no real risk involved. So again I would assert that it's not the risk directly that teaches you anything about poker.

As a digression Jennifer Tilly use to play in there a lot.
