Poker legend, Daniel Negreanu is well known for his unmatched ability to identify poker tells, rather hints that give away someones position in a hand. And in this video, things are no different as he picks up on a crucial tell from his opponent, Alexandra Botez, during a friendly game of heads-up No Limit Holdem.

I mistakenly said "Alexandria" instead of her correct name "Alexandra" this entire video so if you're watching *Alexandra, my bad!
That's a tell, Alex ! ❤ 🤣
Don't worry about, this video is gold!
That rant in the old video at the end had me in tears 😂
I miss the old Daniel
when was that from?
@@BOLDBANGER Judging by the hair, not very old...
@@dumitavi1 yeah i just don't get it , why would danny be that upset, he's walking around with millions of dollars why would he care if he loses some. acting like a diaper baby.
Best line ever…EVER…..”Sorry I can’t hear you over the chips!”
I get so excited that my hands start to shake when I am dealt pocket aces in live poker. To avoid giving anything away, I fold them preflop half of the time, so that observant opponents will think my shaking is a mix of strong and weak hands.
1000 IQ level play
@@AlexDuvall I'd love to have Negreanu watch me toss pocket aces into the muck preflop and see if he can read me. Folding aces preflop makes me unreadable.
@@pastramionrye247 ahaha thats crazy
Hand shaking is actually a less usual tell you barely see it but when people have big hands lol a full house and stuff and they betting lots of chips they will start to shake a bit uncontrollably because they excited not because they nervous
Don't fold pocket aces, just shake ur hand when u get a weak hand and fold it
The end of the video 😂😂😂
I was like Damn Daniel
Folds k high on a Ace high board…. He’s a god
😂
K high, in a headsup match is pretty good
Turn a king or queen, you often have the best hand in HU!
@@perapoker if ur playing Linus or Polk
He was in position with the betting lead on an ace high board and check/folded you mean…..
He clips at the end of Daniel are hilarious lmfao
Legendary
Daniel described major Buddhist mindfulness practice here. And very well. No wonder he’s a poker pro! Love that
Thich Nhat Hanh, right there!
My advice to anyone that is trying to avoid giving live tells, take your time with every decision you make, and pick a spot on table the focus your eyes. Avoid looking at other players until you get more comfortable playing with strangers. You won't be the life of the party but you'll be un-readable to recs and most regs
Yeah starting at one spot or covering your face during a big spot is always good
I find it easily to give reverse tells. The brain cant help but react giving off tells so to try to turn that off is difficult. I give reverse tells n even the same tells when im bluffing n when i got it. Dnegs is right tho. Mosyt recs wont even notice. Hell most recs wont even look at u lmao.
That sounds boring.
...that´s what i do, focus on like the middle of the table and cover my mouth. Cause that´s where i get most tells from other people.
this is very good. also try to keep the time per decision point close, timing tells are given off often even by otherwise good players. i don't mean take a LONG time on every decision, but say 5-10 seconds or something like that. or whatever it is, keep it similar all the time.
My guess for what Daniel saw: it was a combination of her pausing, focusing on something she seemingly liked (a lot), disengaging from the friendly banter, letting her smile retreat somewhat quickly, then checking BEFORE looking at his next move. All subtle to the novice, but obvious flags to a seasoned pro.
"The full Hellmuth" 😄
interesting, i didn´t see her glance at the chips, but her face right afterwards was telling me like "i have something supercool, but i can´t talk about right now, but you´ll see later"
some people have exploitable live tells. A guy I used to play with used to double clutch his cards when on a draw. The flop was low, so I knew he had low cards but didn't hit. I called him down with Qhigh -- poor guy lost his mind after betting all 3 streets.
Nice example. Thanks for sharing
Well tells will give away the strength of your opponents cards and although poker players try and hide tells they don’t know their giving a lot of info when I used to play a lot of poker I would notice people doing stuff that would let me get a at from hands pretty easily
the hand example at just before the 8 minute mark isn't a good spot to say he'll call since she looked weak, negreanu's got the 2nd best hand possible, heads up, when she entered the river with around an SPR of 1 (meaning he'd NEVER fold his hand regardless of her "tells" in this example).
The mouth can smile but the eyes never lie.
The ending. LOL
she hesitated
Daniel the best
thats how i deal with tilt every day. and him bein pissed at the end is because hes just mad that hes not playing live poker
Mike Caro was the first one to figure out the eyes to chips tell…
I started playing poker during the pandemic here in NYC. I imagine the mask went a really long way
He's going to tell her she looked at her chips.
The full Hellmuth. Lol
8:04 dammit daniel
I used the eyes last time I was in jail to call a buff
More wrinkles in the real smile. You said it backwards.
Lol oops 🤦♂️
He was doing a reverse tell 😂
Wrinkles by the eyes is an actual smile, I've heard, dead eyes smile is fake?
He's a Jedi. Change my mind
I wouldn't worry about giving away tells so much since most people won't recognize them anyway and for the one guy who can always seem to know when you are bluffing or seems to beat you in every pot I refer to them as the "nemesis" player and do my best to stay out of their way.
Agree
I wonder if you discipline yourself to do the exact same thing on every hand. For example, always look at your chips. Make it almost a ritual what you do as every hand is played and do it the same way every single time. That way it isn't exactly a fake tell, it is just a consistent routine that doesn't give any actual information.
Honestly Daniel is great and all but the fact is Alexandra has no table presence in this setting. I've seen her perform better on full ring livestreams, but heads-up with this legendary figure she was clearly feeling out over her skis the entire time-and as a result, her body language and demeanor were pretty transparent. It was not hard to tell when she was weak, pro or not!
Great example of choosing the right game to play. Even if someone bank rolled me to play heads up against Kid Poker, I'd decline knowing I was just going to hand the money over fairly quickly.
What I noticed is she thinks a lot when she has a decision to make, and not when she doesn’t, making it easier to infer what she has. It takes some time to learn to do things in the same rhythm regardless of whether the decision is easy or difficult.
She also went from thinking about three betting preflop to checking the ace rag rag flop. Classic newbie tell
15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD
New Meta: full face Botox for poker tells
These things arent revolutionary. The "looking at chips" tell was in Caro's Book of Tells. The mouth tells is why Phil Helmuth (who is great at reading tells) holds his hands over his mouth while in a hand. Not learning about live tells is DEFINITELY a leak.
Felt Daniel
2 great Romanians !
It's the chips glance. EASY
Ahh i lost 5 million, because of that guy.. bro that was 2 hours ago. Priceless.
How long are people gonna milk this video? Omg
My opinion is 99% of people give a tell and if you’re not looking you’re telling it.
Theres an epic video back in Live at the Bike where an opponent makes a move on garrett, and leaves a "crumb for busfare" and Garrett sniffs it out Anyone seen it? maybe it's not even Garrett hahaha
Is it just me or does it look like those two are gonna hook up?
I consider people like Daniel has Great Attention to Detail Skills... His Skills are based on 3 Dimensional World top Human Skills... Maybe someone should hire him to observe Quantum... It is Not 3 Dimensional Based.... Yet it has 3 Dimensional Effect... Daniel would love to Observe these Things... And he is kind of Person who would endorse Global Economy in a Good Way than Suppress it... So The Personility Matters.
Daniel’s biggest accomplishment is to be able to grow that much hair after balding before.
I do this all the time LMAO. Luckily I get away with it against a lot of non-thinking players, but recently I've been intentionally mixing it in with bluffs and misses for balance but yeah its definitely a real thing!
Smart
Lol Daniel is great obviously....but going all in with a straight, with a four liner on the board, while heads up and saying 'I knew you were bluffing'....come on man
They weren't playing for money so DNegs was using Polarised Ranges every hand.
I could watch this young lady's mouth tells all day long ! How lovely an opponent...? 💕 😁
Idk even know why people talk at a poker table. Nobody actually has a “poker face” 😂 it’s goofy
Really funny how new players know nothing about fundamentals and strategy yet they focus on live tells lol. Also pretty sure dnegs hasn’t been a winning player at the stakes he players for years but he played on tv ten years ago so he’s the best lol
Romanian power!! 💪
he also preflop on the a6d hand got her to truthfully admit she thought about 3betting him, and most 3betting hands preflop heads up include an ace. he's not wrong about that super basic live tell about looking at the chips though. but he was already very likely to not put in much money before that with kq off on an ace - low - low board, esp knowing she wanted to 3bet pre.
also surprising when these 2 interact the romanian lineage isn't mentioned. both romanian decented persons who both grew up in canada.
and that is the voice over guy is being naive, a good 2-5 player would know about the "instinctively looking at chips when the board card that just showed up (or their own card if stud) means good hand" prior to negreanu saying it in 09.
best thing for new players on tells, do not assuming your "reads" on your opponents are always right, nor seek to get into that exploitative game too much, but they SHOULD first try to be less readable themselves.
First hand.. Daniel made it seem like he was checking KQ behind because he was scared of what she had.. He was essentially fishing for info, using a piece of intel that would have applied no matter what she did (He would have checked 100% on that board, even if he didn't know what she had) I liked that part.. Also.. The chick (I forget her name, sorry) you could see on her face that she was going through a whole range of options on how to play the hand.. Meaning (she had a decision because her hand was good) I think she knew she was up against Daniel and wanted to get tricky.. I guess she felt that Daniel is so good, normal plays wouldn't work (we've seen that in many videos featuring Daniel).. When Daniel let out that he's not taking the bait and betting flop? *again, he would have checked that anyway* She tried to bet ultra small (100 chips) to try to get (something) on the turn.. Add all that up? Even if Daniel didn't know exactly what she had, he can assume she had at least a pair of Aces and his hand couldn't win on river, without a pair or draw on turn.. (I could have been more specific in parts but felt that was a good enough explanation)
the thing that kills me about this guy is that he calls out their hands when beat but calls them anyway?
8:50 this whole thing is literally DBT. he must have done some cognitive behavioral therapy. could probably help a lot of poker players
Alexandra* Botez!
Wow can't believe I didn't notice that the entire time lol thanks
Her gums gave it away.
rude Pepe
🤣🤣🤣Ayo
She has an excellent gumline
Gonna give away alot of hands then. She'll need a mask or have to play online. Poor horse mouth, I feel for her
Shes still cute. Ur not.
I guess chess doesn't pay as much as poker.
"what did I see, that made me fold that hand..." You saw the flop daniel... the flop.
Something is wrong with yall
Yeah some weird comments
I can't speak for them Alex, but I know that I am a right Weirdo.
Mt tell is don’t play Daniel.
Her tells are obvious
Idk why some people dislike him. I think he’s very talented and humble all things considered. I mean. Look at Phil
First
Is the worst
Thank you for your service
Jesus, Alexandra boetz is stunningly beautiful.
More cringe nonsense
Daniel is such a bs artist
Yeah, he sure is with all those millions of dollars he earns every year.
Being a BS artist in poker is good, right?
@@AlexDuvall That's not my point. He's exaggerating super hard about some supposed tell he says he saw. That's called being a bs artist, good or bad.
@@Tell_It_RightYou’re a dumb ass. You realise how dumb he would look if he was so confidently wrong ? He wouldn’t act so confident unless he was like 90% sure. Literally every read he made was accurate .
@@Tell_It_Right Yeah, right.
