    It is unbelievable that Seidel is an 80's pro. He is the only before 2010 big name that is still crushing.
    I mean, right before Covid he finished 5th in the Aussie Millions Main Event , cashed for 200K in the 50K event and got second in the Australian Poker Open 25K event.
    The man is a mean machine. What a legend!

    An interesting story and a really great idea for a book which, I assume, has gained a wider non-poker audience. Fair play for getting Seidel and others on board and making a career defining and life-changing decision. Had to scroll away to listen to the podcast because Maria as such an expressive face when talking that it was distracting from the conversation. Either that's a live tell or a killer weapon at the table. "Don't look at the face." Cheers RYE.

    Phenomenal! What a great podcast filled with all kinds of good content. And if you will, a great addition to the Jamie Staples Poker Podcast (Episode 32). I find it mega exciting and fascinating how deep we are in psychology, and that poker can be a microcosm for the whole of life, (if you let it) and vice versa. ☺♥

  • @BvBCrafty

    again great podcast, although I dont like the way she talks about chess. I mean saying that its boring cause its solvable feels so odd to me. Since human mind/skill is so far away from the optimal engine-play. (Btw even engines havent solved the game yet, since they are still playing for 3 results - so there is not always a right move, as it is said in the video). Chess is not tic tac toe man. Its not that we can grap the solution and play like that and win the game.
    I can see her point comparing poker with life, including all the incomplete information and there is never the 100% right path to step on.
    Not like in chess "where everything is there". But just cause everything is there for our eyes it doesnt mean that it is all there for our brain. You still have to develop ideas, judge different positions, calculate through lines and so on...
    I think that there is also an "optimal penalty kick" in soccer and you also dont say penalty kick is bad, boring or solvable or whatever since everyone is so far away from kicking it perfectly on a consistant level.
