Zachary Elwood believes that polarisation and anger in politics is one of the most damaging things for the future of democracy. In this captivating discussion, we explore the role of social media in amplifying divisions, how Donald Trump's candidacy impacted the political landscape, and the media's significant influence on polarization dynamics. Polarisation has been on the rise over the past few years and I was curious to explore how and why it was happening. Politics has become so divided and angry that our political conversation has become broken. I asked Zach about how social media has influenced this, the Brexit debate, seeing the worst in the “other” side, and the consequences of Democrats and Republicans questioning and refusing to accept the results of elections.  #politics #polarisation #election2024 #trump #biden #brexit #division Timestamps:  00:00 - The Impact of Social Media on Polarization  07:00 - The Impact of Donald Trump on Polarization  13:43 - Media's Role in Polarization 20:19 - Promoting Nuance and Personal Responsibility  27:20 - Pessimistic Views and Stereotyping  34:18 - Challenging Misconceptions about Ethnic Minorities  40:59 - Challenging the Legitimacy of Elections  47:48 - Addressing Us Versus Them Animosity https://twitter.com/apokerplayer   Behaviour Podcast - https://t.co/qSTLlJYGLV   Diffusing American Anger - https://www.american-anger.com/   https://www.instagram.com/readingpokertells/  ----------------------------------------------------- DONATE and help the channel grow - https://donorbox.org/help-me-buy-stuff  PRE-ORDER MY GAMESTOP BOOK - https://wen-moon.com  Buy Brexit: The Establishment Civil War - https://amzn.to/39XXVjq    ----------------------------------------------------- You can listen to the show on Spotify, Apple, and all major platforms - https://chatterpodcast.podbean.com/  Watch Us On Odysee.com - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@TheJist:4    Join My Mailing List - https://www.getrevue.co/profile/thejist  Follow Me On Twitter - https://twitter.com/Give_Me_TheJist  ----------------------------------------------------- Website - https://thejist.co.uk/    Music from Just Jim – https://soundcloud.com/justjim  Extract Labs CBD - https://extract-labs.pxf.io/n10JMa Canva Premium Graphics - https://partner.canva.com/b3A9X6

How Looking Through An Us-vs-Them Lens Leads To More Animosity & Anger So much of the work I do in the depolarization space leads me to great people of all mindsets. It's not that we have to agree, we just have to find a way to disagree in a more civil way. In today's hyper-connected world, where social media platforms amplify our differences and echo chambers abound, it has become increasingly crucial to cultivate a culture of respectful dialogue and understanding. So often, we lose focus on the shared humanity in those who have mindsets that differ from our own. Why? How do we allow this to happen? It really is not that hard to see if you know where to look.  In this episode we talk about how looking through an us-vs-them lens leads to more animosity and anger.Who is Zachary Elwood?Zachary Elwood is the host of the psychology podcast People Who Read People. For that podcast, he's interviewed many experts on topics related to our us-versus-them polarization and the psychology behind our divides (see the politics-related episodes).  His research into deceptive online activity has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Buzzfeed, and many more. Zachary is a former professional poker player and the author of Reading Poker Tells, which has been translated into eight languages, and other books.  Learn more about and connect with Zachary online by checking out the full show notes for this episode at DerateTheHate.comWhat have you done today to make your life a better life?

Welcome back! On today's show we are joined by Zachary Elwood who is a poker live tell expert. He has written a book on how to spot and use live tells at the poker table to your advantage and we asked him all about it. Before he joined the show we talked about the Hellmuth Q4o hand, got a Mintzy update from NOLA, and a Jake update post-surgery. Over an hour with the fellas, enjoy!

This week we are locked in and figuring out tells with Zachary Elwood. The episode begins with a look back at Dara's appearance on Zach's show ‘People Who Read People' when the pair broke down lots of useful poker tells. This chat segued nicely into an analysis of Phil Hellmuth's tells (and likely fake tells), deployed in his defeat at the hands of Tom Dwan on High Stakes Duel. From there, the trio discussed Erik Seidel's ninth bracelet win and his first online. The subject then changes to the latest instance of poker ambassador musical chairs as Krissy Bicknell departs from Partypoker while Ben Rolle (bencb) partners with Pokerstars. The trio discuss the significance of Rolle's new role as yet another prolific content creator moving into the brand ambassadorial space. Next up is the hot topic of vaccinations as it pertains to the WSOP who have flip-flopped in recent weeks as to their policy. This provokes a frank chat about the outspoken views of Krissy Bicknell, Alex Foxen and others whose decision not to get vaccinated will likely exclude them from the Series. The show ends with Dara telling us about his upcoming book, another collaboration with Barry Carter, this time on the subject of ICM.

Zachary Elwood has been playing poker seriously for more than ten years. For three of those years, he played professionally. He’s long been interested in the psychological aspects of poker (while knowing that poker tells are much less important than poker strategy.) In 2009 he started the ReadingPokerTells blog, on the subject of tells and psychology. The site has gained a decent following over the years. In 2012, he published Reading Poker Tells, a book on general poker behavioral patterns. That book has been called the “best book on poker tells” by many players, both amateur and experienced.  In 2014, he published the book Verbal Poker Tells, which has also received high praise. Tommy Angelo, the pro poker player and author, called it “a treasure of profitable content.”  Elwood writes articles for many poker publications. He writes a monthly column for Bluff Magazine, and has written articles for PokerNews, the TwoPlusTwo Magazine, and The Freeroll. He has created poker training videos for the poker training site CardRunners.com.

Whenever poker is depicted on a TV show or in a movie there's a lot of emphasis placed on the art and science of reading the physical cues that players give off accidentally when attempting to conceal the motivations behind their bets. Poker pros call these "tells." Even though tells are overrated as a source of significant alpha at a poker table (and their significance is diminished even more when playing online) they can still be important. On this week's podcast, we speak to Zachary Elwood, a former pro poker player who has authored multiple books on tells and how to read them.

Topics: the role of psychology and perception-manipulation in the restaurant and service industries. Zachary Elwood interviews Robin Dibble, an experienced service industry professional who has worked all sides of the restaurant business, from waiting tables, to cooking, to managing restaurants and nightclubs.

Zachary Elwood interviews Robert Drysdale, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts expert and world champion, on the roles psychology and predicting opponent behavior can play in professional fighting.

Poker tells author Zachary Elwood interviews Jenny Radcliffe, an expert in social engineering (i.e., the manipulation of people to gain access to information or materials). Radcliffe talks about her work infiltrating companies as a paid security consultant, and discusses some of the psychological and behavioral aspects of that work. Radcliffe has her own podcast about psychology and security: The Human Factor. Her website is www.JennyRadcliffe.com and her Twitter is @Jenny_Radcliffe.

Zulawski is co-owner of Wicklander Zulawski and Associates (w-z.com), a firm specializing in interview and interrogation consulting and education.

Marinakis is the Director of Jury Research at Litigation Insights, a large trial consultancy firm.

We did this podcast with tells expert Zach Elwood back in November, but it was lost in our old feed. We thought it was cool, so we are re-releasing it. YAY!

Our fourth episode of the first season, some players refer to it as "Stu Ungar", because he won the last of his three WSOP titles in 97 with this hand. Tony & David speak with special guest, Zachary Elwood! He is the author of “Reading Poker Tells”, “Verbal Poker Tells”, & “Reading Poker Tells in 1/2 NL Cash Games”. He has even more resources on poker tells including articles and videos at http://www.readingpokertells.com.

Zachary Elwood has been playing poker seriously for more than ten years. For three of those years, he played professionally. He's long been interested in the psychological aspects of poker (while knowing that poker tells are much less important than poker strategy.) In 2009, he started the ReadingPokerTells blog, on the subject of tells and psychology. The site has gained a decent following over the years. In 2012, he published Reading Poker Tells, a book on general poker behavioral patterns, that has been called the “best book on poker tells” by many players, both amateur and experienced. Elwood published the book Verbal Poker Tells in 2014, which has also received high praise. Tommy Angelo, the pro poker player and author, called it “a treasure of profitable content.” He also did several poker tells presentations in Vegas, as part of a full-day seminar co-hosted by Jonathan Little. Elwood used a lot of actual televised poker hands to illustrate behavioral patterns that are often reliable. He writes a monthly column for Bluff Magazine, and has written articles for PokerNews, the TwoPlusTwo Magazine, and The Freeroll. He has created poker training videos for the poker training site CardRunners.com. Mental Game MP3s - http://www.pokermindcoach.com/mental-game-mp3s/

Reading Poker Tells is being called the best book about poker tells by many players, both amateur and professional. Besides cataloging the most common poker-related behavioral patterns, the book gives a mental framework for analyzing and remembering poker tells.  From the Author: I have always been primarily interested in the psychological aspects of poker. I like studying people, figuring out their personal strategies and tendencies, and trying to use that knowledge to my advantage. I love calling a big bluff, betting someone off a hand when I sense weakness, and reading the psychological ebb and flow of individual players and the game as a whole. I think poker is a tremendously deep game; the more I have studied it, the more psychological complexity I find. I used to play poker for a living. Now I just use it as a supplemental source of income. Several factors went into my decision to stop playing professionally. The most important one was related to anxiety/stress; I realized that I basically was not mentally cut out for the life I was trying to lead. I’ve come to believe that some people are just better-equipped for the cumulative stresses of professional poker playing. Better-equipped than I am, for sure. Just as I believe that the psychological aspects of the game are under-rated by most players, I also believe that a proper psychological mindset is key to being a high-stakes winner. (I’m still undecided if the proper mindset is always inherent or can be learned.) This blog is focused on poker tells, but don’t take this to mean that I think tells are the most important thing in the game. I don’t. They’re a very small part of the game. But I do believe that the importance of tells is vastly under-rated by even a lot of experienced players. And I think that being good at reading tells is one of those things that can make a very good player a fantastic player. I don’t believe this subject is well-addressed by the mostly-inferior books on poker tells and poker psychology out there. In my opinion, Mike Caro’s book from 30 years ago is still the best book out there on the subject, which is not saying a lot. There have been several other misleading, badly-written, and just plain stupid books put out over the years, mostly by people who are not poker players, or who do not play significant stakes. This is all very strange to me. I know there are plenty of players like myself who use tells on a regular basis to get an edge on the competition. And there are plenty of superior players who know more about this subject than I do. I don’t pretend to be a guru on poker tells. The things I know are common tricks of the trade to many professional poker players. But nobody’s writing about it. I don’t know why; it might really be due to the fact that most good live players are having too much fun taking people’s money to sit down and write about these things. (And if it wasn’t for my complex, love-hate relationship with poker, I’d probably be doing a lot more playing and a lot less writing.)
