Thanks for the video. I like your style

Excellent video!

Was refreshing and interesting to see that you believe mental game/resilience is actually more important than technical skill.

I’ve always believed this and feeling even more confident about it lately.

Thanks!

Nice video, reminded me of the importance of good habits once again. Thanks! :)

Hopefully not many regs smoke pot and then get on the grind :D. Jokes apart love your videos keep going

Great video thejericho2 you touched on a lot of key things that I have practiced over the years. One thing I've been struggling with recently is checking results during a session and riding the roller coaster of emotions with being up or down. When I am up a few buy-ins then lose a flip or get coolered and then I am only up one buy-in I get a feeling of being "up-stuck." Where it feels like you have lost money because you are not at peak profit any more.

The delayed gratification might be able to fix this i.e the marshmallow test, but not exactly sure how I will implement it into my day. Before I would set goals of X amount of hands per day, so I needed to have PT4 open in order to check my hands, but honestly I could easily do this with time as well as we know roughly how many hands per hour we are getting. Just need to think of a reward system for not checking results until after the session or day is over.

Your definition of the mental game is great. I am a person who wants to put in a lot of volume, but often I struggle with taking too many breaks after a bad run. Breaks are good but they also impact the volume and your bottom line. Being able to overcome adversity during these hardships of our careers is what separates some crushers from bad regs. Yesterday for example poker seemed "unfair" and even though I know it's just variance, it's hard to KEEP GOING when you are getting beat down. Having just non-stop coolers over a short period of time with QQ vs KK BvB, KK < AK, Set over set in 4BP, etc. My technical game or skills as you say have grown leaps and bounds this year as I transitioned from live poker to online. My BRM , bet sizes, ranges, etc are all very solid and 99.3% of the time I do not deviate from them. The small deviation is 4 betting QQ/AK too often from Ep/Mp when I face a 3bet and I know its a mix call / 4bet but I just end up rolling high every time because I'm stuck on the session and letting my emotions take over some of the aggro frequencies where I try and force flips in order to get even. When this doesn't work I end up taking a break and venting on discord about how bad I am running. Taking this current week off from discord because I know no one wants to hear me bitch and its just unproductive and a waste of time. I'm just struggling to find a way to keep going forward after being on the wrong side of coolers & flips for 6 7 8 times in a short 30-60 minute session.

Rocky Speech: It is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. I always think of this speech during this rough patches, but at the end of the video he says you have to believe in yourself. I think that is the true key. Any other advice on this would be extremely helpful thejericho2 .

Thank you for another great video!
