The index slide from todays video

Thank you

Joyce Meyer: "Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting."

Thanks, Tommy. I enjoyed listening (to the Beatles on the banjo, too.)

So what can we do about this thing, called impatience that we all
share...Well not much.

I think that the only way to make ourselves into significantly more
patient people then we are right now, is by applying a great deal of
effort.

Really liked that.

I think making a plan and executing it like you said is really beneficial, along with autosuggestion and few tricks like - tanking for a few seconds before each move - no matter how marginal it is, turning off HUD when playing less then 4 tables online in order to really focus, turning off phone and other distractions.

Sadly with my ADD i doubt i will ever be able to practice meditation.

Thanks for the video, lots of insightful thoughts from everyone.

Also, thumbs up if you`d like Tommy to make a banjo compilation and upload it to youtube or soundcloud.

Tommy that goes to my number one favourite vid on here. What a perfectly constructed compilation of thoughts and ideas from yourself and you colleagues and such a fitting outro to help enable oneself to be, 'satisfied with the moment'.

Right on, man! Good stuff!

I failed at patience as i listened to this at 1.5x ;)

Thanks so much for sharing. This is very helpful to my meditation practice.

I quite liked this video. At first the somewhat slow pace had my mind wandering. But as you got more into the material I started to fight that instinct and apply my focus. Being a musician for almost 11 years made it easy for me to relate to many of your points. Also, Leszek really seems like a fantastic signing. :)

awesome video and much needed for me right now. I grew impatient in my last session tonight and got a bit discouraged. luckily, I did show patience when I ended my session by not going to the blackjack table to get some back :). I never play casino games but boy I was tempted tonight and then patience set in. this video was super encouraging, thanks tommy and guests. I have to ask, what was the outro song? I 100% know the song but can't think of it. was that "hey Jude?" perhaps it was,I'm thinking it was now. I know u mentioned that you recently learned it so I'm guessing that was it. definitely not a knock on your banjo skills as it sounded very good. recently hearing another artist play instrumental only, I came to realize how hard it is to define a song by instrument only. you sit there and listen to it, you know you know it, humming the perfect rhythm, but yet you can't define the song, it's really weird. again, thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it as I laid in my bed in complete darkness, I grew more patient tonight :)

I have to ask, what was the outro song? was that "hey Jude?"

Yes. It was the ending part of the song.

recently hearing another artist play instrumental only, I came to realize how hard it is to define a song by instrument only.

For me it's liberating. I was a full-time musician for ten years, and I defined my job as: To make singers look good and sound good.

When I solo on an instrument, nothing matters, at all. I have no responsibility or pressure for anything to sound like anything. Kind of like how I feel at the poker table when I'm at my best.

Absolute great video and indeed words of wisdom by Leszek. I am one of the people who falls into that category of trying to accomplish way too many things all at once and falling on most of them. And meditation has been helping me to deal dealing with impatience but never really realized that I have been lying to myself for a long time now as he mentioned.

Thx a lot for such great content to everybody involved.

would love to see a vid about confidence especially before/while/after playing poker

Thanks a lot

I'm glad you added a title to the top of the black screen. During the 1st video I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out if my cord was messed up. :( Great video, I've always loved hearing your thoughts.

Hey Tommy! In this video you mentioned that you will play for 90 minutes at a time then take a break. How long are these breaks and what all do they involve?

Thanks and love the video!

Thanks for the reply.

One central question I have when listening to your material is how to deal with the emotional ups and downs of playing poker. When I win I get happy. When I lose I get sad and feel pain. I would guess and say that it takes about 5x as much in winnings for the "happy" feeling to equal the "pain" feeling of losing. Another interesting thing that happens is after a rough session I can usually just accept the fact that there is variance in the game and move on but the next morning when I get up I always feel the "pain" feeling.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Collaborating with other coaches is an awesome idea! Really like it.

Also, how much do you charge for a private banjo concert?

Thanks!

Neat concept. Maybe I should start doing weddings and funerals.

Joyce Meyer: "Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to
keep a good attitude while waiting."

I think this is accurate and helpful from within the limitations of it's own paradigm. But in my experience there is a more balanced inclusive paradigm that sounds like this:

Patience is simply the result of no longer placing one's consciousness in a position of waiting.

It's the difference between having a complacency toward the moment, b/c you're subtly invalidating it (waiting), and a total obliteration of the concept of lack, including how it relates to the concept of being obstacled by time.

great vid Tommy! (found it late)

hey tommy! great video !

one question, what banjo do you use? thanks!

I use an open back, named Jake. Here's a picture of Jake naked:

Oh my goodness that led zeppelin lick is tough on guitar
