Keep her close Tim! 😁
Yes a real life interview!! Always love seeing people in the same room!
Absolutely loved this interview! It’s refreshing to sit in on an intelligent conversation with such curious bright minds. Liv is awesome. It will be fun to explore some of the resources you shared as well as her channel. The topics covered were all things I find fascinating.
Very interesting interview. It is clear they both loved the subject. Nice one Tim. Time to go find her TED talk.
Went back through this podcast for the second (third?) time with the transcript to take notes. Love Liv’s perspective!
This guy... really interviews the most interesting people... And that dog sleeping through the inverview is the best.
Chilling out in his living room, ultimate legend
Tim, another amazing episode! You are really a skilled interviewer, very witty guy and knowing when to interject in your interviews👏
As someone who's giving professional poker a go right now, I wrote the following in my journal: "Poker is a mother f'er of a journey. It's math, it's game theory, it's psychology, it's entrepreneurship, it's discipline, it's study, it's monk-like, it's brutal, it's highs, it's lows, it's philosophical, it's a holy war on a very personal level for each true die-hard."
The amount of things you have to get right about yourself and your skill set to truly be successful at it is immense.
Great episode. Thanks for sharing great questions and great thoughts/ story
This was so interesting, thanks a lot to the both of you :)
Yessss! In person interviews are sooo much better
Top Moments
36:40 If you could predict reasons, failure points, that I would quit, what would be these reasons?
that was interesting and great fun to watch , thank you !
thanks, amazing episode!
Wow, very interesting episode!
Incredible Interview 👏
Does anyone know what's the podcast show Tim mentions at 29:41 ? I've been trying to find it but I'm probably mispelling it.
You are not misspelling it, you are mis-hearing it. It is the "All In" podcast there are 89 episodes here on CZcams. A lot of poker talk, but not only poker talk.
Awesome interview
Loved this!
Interesting idea about the substrate. In a conversation between theoretical physicist David Bohm and Philosopher J Krishnamurti, they both speak of a ground, or substrate from which existence arises. I’m wildly paraphrasing here, it’s been decades since I read it but it has stayed with me. The book is The Ending Of Time. I think you would both find it interesting.
Comment by Liv; somewhere around 1:13
Liv, you were amazing, thank you.
- Poker community ♥️
Ms Boeree is so real and so funny yet very very intelligent!..I cant believe ive just seen it now and yet ive been playing rec for 10yrs,,
another great interview
Hey Tim. Love from Bangladesh
42:43 I think it’s more because of the “abicus school” they go to and not from ordinary school curriculum just because the time allocated for the study is not adequate nowadays… could have been different centuries ago but I’ve never met people at that level who did not have special education outside school. But nonetheless, I really admire the ability and wished I did go to the soroban school myself😗
Good interview. She’s cool.
One of my all time favorite poker pros
Yea Tim is the man
How do you get staked as a losing player?
This was great. Thanks.
Can we learn quickly
To beat fairly unskilled players?
i think the Voise was win win helping you out because she new you were going to help her in her battle against Molak!
You Are the Placebo is also a great book
Hey Tim, do you know Steve Adler, Mayor of Austin? I went to high school with him.
I’m genuinely curious how Tim has 1m followers but gets so few views.
Brilliant!
thank you liv 🙏 giving me life
Genuinely wondering if this is the first interview where I've heard Tim swear out of maaaaaany years of listening. Not that it's a problem but it was interesting!
Tim, the guest does not seem comfortable being interviewed in this couch. Would suggest using a microphone holder and a couch which is not so deep and squishy.
I love Liv
Poker is so much like trading markets. Whoever is decent at poker should put some time into learning to trade.
This was good
awesomesauce
What and amazing and talented gal is Liv!
Great interview. There was no mention of Livs long term partner, Russian poker player Igor Kurganov, who this year got a top job with Elon Musk.
My family are all scientists (dad was in think tank at RAND, mom award winning public health/anthropologist, grandparent internationally recognized nutritionist and anthropologist). My dad read "A brief History of Time " to me as a kid and discussed it with me, and as more quantum texts came out we did the same as I grew up. I was raised on scientific method and also on all the social science ideas of how people react to information based on context.
But my whole life I have had experiences of this nature. Each time I challenge it from every angle I can. I try to explain it any other way. Together though... there are just too many and too many that I cannot explain through what is currently known through science. Quantum though... a lot of it overlaps and the worldview I have developed relies heavily on that as the bridge.
I ended up learning energy healing intuitively at a young age (kid), but I always tested it like a scientist. I'd skin both knees skating and concentrate the energy on one knee and leave the other alone for example. I've been on the other side of this healing story many, many times for years. Many other people having that "oh my god my issue is gone" reaction. That's a lot of data points for me. One of the big ones though was that I was able to tell someone (friend of mother's who I didn't know well) over the phone when their husband would die. I also saw the faces of their doctors without even being told they had three different ones, and was able to tell the person what outcome would happen if they listened to each doctor. They confirmed that the doctors were advocating the kind of treatment (levels of aggressiveness against the cancer) that I saw. They chose the doctor withe the least aggressive treatment based on the conversation, and the husband died with his family around him instead of alone in the hospital. I understand he could have "decided to die" and that can account for the timing. ...but nothing I can explain accounts for me being able to see what what the doctors looked like (I could tell that the one they chose was a woman with shoulder length salt and pepper hair), or know that they were working with three of them, let alone which one matched which level of treatment.
I've had enough experiences like this, where there is no known scientific explanation. Because of this, my worldview is more expansive than known science, though I always I maintain my own internal interrogation using the rules of science.
.. beautiful!.. thank you!
Mathematics, for those who master it well, becomes the sixth human sense.
Tim is smitten.
lack of sleep can get pretty weird.
Definitely "the socks stay on!" type... 🤔
boyfriend/husband hit the lottery
Anyone else feel like we're watching a first date? 👀
Specifically went through comments to see if people felt the same way
@@jt971 Same
Morning after the first date judging by the outfits. I mean they both literally woke up..good for them 🎉
@@andredejager3637Did Tim break up with his previous girlfriend?
That dog is alive, right?
I have a strong feeling that they are dating.
Oops. Nevermind.

Tip for insomniacs: try melatonin for sleep.
Life is bleff
This must be his girlfriend
