Yessss! I can't wait to dive into this one. I will be sure to comment again once I have actually viewed the video, but this topic from Mr. Pimmer is sure to be outstanding.

interesting take on linking something that gives you pleasure , like a good cup of coffee, with something that you are perhaps not as motivated to do.

Would this be a version of Pavlovian response? Not exact, but using this idea? So that our brains replace the dread of grinding a study session with the pleasure of the experience we tether it to?

To be more precise, this is actually a technique used by many high level performers, they create a routine and condition themselves and their psychology as well as their physiology to have a specific response but I will talk about this some more in a video.

I have never been a student and never really studied any materials, just done what I like - and thats just to play PLO - Play way too long and eventually get bored and lose the bankroll.

So, for things to change - I need to change the things that I do. Cause when I am in the zone, I can almost not lose where I play. But when I loose myselfe I cant even beat the smallest micros..

I had an Essential membership, Ive just watched a few vids there for PLO and lots of times been thinking of taking stuff seriously. Almost like "the unused gym-membership"

So now Ive taken notes and watched this video. I got the Elite membership - And my goal is to study more then I play. Im already exhausted by this 30mins, but real good info and vid. Took me more then an hour to watch it.

Hope this will be the start of something great ! (by a series of small acts)..

Thank you, Chris ! :D

Ill do the fun things first (as you mentioned), Watch the PLO2K :D
Then dive in to this theory material =)

Hi Chris, very nice video. I like studying topic a lot because i always lack a rigorous method for study during school. This are a few idea that i think could be useful for other member:
1) read about the pomodoro technique and use it, i usually do 25 minute study followed by 5 minute break where i drink something, go to pee and listen song during stretching;
2) nice course on coursera is learning how to learn by Barbara Oakley, very nice insight like the recall strategy for study vs recognition;
3)usually for study preflop ranges i use ANKI + flopzilla; ANKI is a flashcard program used for study and recall;
4)the myth of creativity remember me a lot of the begginer mind theached in meditation book like Jhon kabat Zinn one.

Ty for this video Chris.

PS: this ideas could be useful in a lot of other areas of your life beside poker.
