    Scott Seiver: High Stakes Mixed Games, Bobby’s Room, & The Hall of Fame - EP 14

    Scott gets real about his recent Poker Hall of Fame snub, why he thinks GTO theory is killing the aesthetic of the game, and how getting undervalued directly fueled his insane three-bracelet summer run. We also take a detour away from the felt to talk about his time solving the insane MIT Mystery Hunt, and a legendary Lehman Brothers story that you just have to hear to believe. If you love deep-dive table psychology, wild side-stories, and unfiltered high-stakes talk, you're going to love this one. 🎙️ LATE REG PODCAST — EPISODE 14 ♠️ Guest: Scott Seiver 🎤 Brian Rast 🎤 Phil Laak Play on Phenom Poker with code: latereg 🔗 Join Phenom Poker: https://play.phenompoker.com/ __________________________________ 🔗 Follow the Late Reg Podcast: 📸 Instagram →   / lateregpodcast  🐦 X (Twitter) → https://x.com/lateregpodcast 📺 YouTube →    / @lateregpodcast  CLIPS CHANNEL →    / @lateregpodclips    ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Introduction & Career Parallels: Why Scott and Brian’s poker trajectories mirror each other. 04:36 – The $100 Hand Prop Bet: Exploiting opponents who show their cards for cheap information. 07:09 – The 3 Types of Poker Games: Scott’s breakdown of studs, pot-odds, and equity-heavy games. 12:09 – The Lone Wolf Mentality: Why collaboration works in mystery hunts, but not always in poker. 17:40 – The Death of Poker Aesthetics: Moving away from GTO chess theory back to "Wild West" play. 22:22 – Hall of Fame Snub: Scott’s honest reflection on why he cared about not getting in. 33:08 – Fixing the HOF Voting System: Why the NFL’s reporter-nomination system could fix poker. 41:23 – Pure Motivation: How being undervalued triggered a 3-bracelet summer. 49:21 – Inside the MIT Mystery Hunt: Solving 130+ impossible puzzles over a single weekend. 1:01:17 – Video Games as Art: Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium, and lowering the barrier to empathy. 1:13:08 – The Ultimate Lehman Brothers Story: Working an internship during the World Cup and quitting early. 1:16:35 – Psychopaths in Bobby’s Room: What mental toughness actually means at the highest stakes. 1:23:30 – Live Reads vs. Invented Stories: How to stop telling yourself what you want to happen in a hand. 1:32:00 – Table Persona & Multitasking: Using conversation as a tool to destabilize opponents. 1:32:40 – Table Persona & Parallel Processing: Using fast-paced conversation as a tactical tool to overwhelm opponents' bandwidth while tracking action.  1:36:10 – Navigating Ego at the Highest Stakes: Managing tilt, acknowledging mistakes, and keeping pride from dictating hand selection in high-stakes lineups. 1:42:05 – The Evolution of High-Stakes Mixed Games: How mixed game dynamics, game selection, and player pools have shifted over the last decade. 1:48:30 – Poker vs. Life Beyond the Felt: Balancing the intensity of professional poker with outside passions, relationships, and personal growth. 1:54:15 – Rapid-Fire Questions & Final Thoughts: Scott answers quick-hit questions, shares final pieces of advice for aspiring mixed-game players, and wraps up the interview.
