I appreciate this video a lot. Sorry to hear you are going through more tough times beyond the tax stuff.
I myself am at a bit of a crossroads in life. I've actually been there for the last 6 months. Sometimes I wonder if the last 6 months have been a mistake.
I do like your mindstate videos because it isn't just words thrown out at us. You relate it to your actual struggles. You word things in a more real, applicable sense. Thanks Mathias.
Thank you SoundSpeed,
I don’t know what you are going through but all the best man. I know such times are tough
Very Interesting videeo.
19:20 totally agree.
Besides everything you mention afterwards, solvers do not take into account that it is much harder for a human to bluff with a small stack than with a large stack and that we always succeed more by being aggressive because the meta is generally much weaker compared to the solvers.
Thank you and 100% agree there too. The human factor is often kind of “conceptualized” away by taking theory at face value
Really good thoughts in this video. I agree that the solver can only solve for the input you give it, which is limited in some ways. I think the best players are able to take in all the information they have available to them and make adjustments off of the baseline. Enjoyed the content.
hey mathias thank you for the great video, coming off a pretty bad weekend poker wise, always looking for ways to improve my game, and mental game to better myself as a player
do you find talking about these sort of struggles really helps you? i tend to bottle some things up, anger, frustration, i dont always vocalize how im feeling. with poker sometimes letting it all out can be beneficial at the same time, i know its on me to be better
Hey man,
Yes I do think this releases stress to talk about things that bother you. It could be maybe a matter of perspective. Maybe try to meditate on why you tend to bottle things up?
I often do that, all my worst behavior or mental struggles, sometimes I sit down, close my eyes and “feel it out”, really just trying to get deep into that specific state of mind and investigate why I do this or think or feel like this. Not that this immediately solves everything, but I do think it helps a bit every time.
What is important is to accept we are human, naturally there is always a struggle with emotions and they make us “ugly” sometimes, but that is the energy to use to become better. No reason to be ashamed of it or reject it. I like the metaphor of the lotus flower growing out of the mud. The Lotus flower is beautiful, but without the ugly mud it could not have grown. It is the transformed mud.
