A true social phenomenon, poker is not just a game of chance and money. From a scientific perspective, we can think of it as a sporting discipline, requiring numerous biological and mental resources. Winning, losing, thinking, bluffing, resisting stress…: each of these events results in specific brain activity. By combining testimonials from some of the best players in the world with insights from scientific experts and unique experiences, this documentary will allow each of us to understand the internal processes that govern our risk-taking, and each of our decisions.

Vraiment n'importe quoi

la vidéo a plus de 10 ans…..
the most basic poker documentary ive ever come across..
Not all poker pros are created equal. In saying this, I mean… Many "live" players have learned to control their movements (hand, eye, breathing, and other visible "tells") to keep from giving away critical information other players are looking for. When an online player makes his/her way into the "live" sessions, they often have to learn that poker is more than just making decisions based on game play. In some situations the player is just playing the player and not the cards. This is more true in "live" situations vs. online. Another factor is emotional control. Even some of the pros go thru emotions that can spiral out of control. This is usually when a player reaches "tilt" and usually ditches their "normal" playing patterns. Even a pro can reach a point where they are just not at peak performance and it's time to leave the tables. The better the pro the least likely this happens but it still does happen. Even the best!
I have noticed this to be true with some players… The very good tournament players are not that good at cash games and the very good cash players are not that good at tournaments.
This experiment is meaningless if the stakes are minimal & they aren't playing for much. They should do this in the 10K Main Event in Vegas then it will be real data they can analyze.
Davidi is a crusher. Seen him around in some older clips.
6:55 it doesn't matter if Alex shows emotion on the river after someone raises because his only action is really to call or fold so giving away emotional clues doesn't give the opponent any actionable information. Also this is a pretty standard fold, no read needed.
The easy way to know whether to bluff or not is based on the opponent’s actions. What’s their bet size? Did they check the previous round? Most amateurs give away the strength of their hands by their actions, so they open themselves to be attacked by demonstrating they have medium strength hands.
They should have got Hellmuth and tested to find where his white magic comes from
“Sir, we can’t afford Phil Ivey.” “Ok, we’ll just use a mannequin.”
they should call hellmuth and tony g
Poker is not a "sport" as was suggested in this film. It is a very serious pass time and game hobby, and is gambling. Sport! What? not unless you are running the 100 metres sprint while playing poker, I think not.
If I’m betting my fake AE86 I wouldn’t bet it unless the other person just purposely throw because just like me it’s chaos where somebody pop off their combos. I just feel lucky winning a couple hands. If I did miracle fucked myself on the AE86 I would cash out
Hey card shuffler I would like to play and loose AE86 times before the scientific kills me for real
poker players even pros don't do all these complex calculations on the fly – there simply isn't enough time for it – most of it is just gut instinct, don't paint poker players as superhumans, please
They can't beat bad luck.
The other thing is we study body language as we and i know what to show you to misslead you 😀
well big variable is size of the game, playing for "research" chips is hardly exciting, best stress test is playing with the "rent money"…
it is luck no more
