lIlCitanul thank you for the read and the response sir! I would say yes. I approach the course like this, I have a lot of mindless time where I can listen to headphones and do tasks like clean, laundry, exercise etc. I listen to the videos without doing the exercises I would say 2-3 times before sitting down hard absorbing and doing the exercises. I have a focus problem. So I almost memorize the video in my mind, then internalize it by doing the work sheets. I am only the 2nd week so far.
The first week is about conquering your “resistances” or barriers in poker and life. Ex. “I reach 10k of bankroll, then self sabotage”. I did my first worksheet on this and really broke down what would happen if I pushed through my subconscious and ignored the resistance. Vs allowing my subconscious to Hold me back. Which you can apply this for real life circumstances as well. So yes I would say 90% of the course can be applied to real life!
Thank you again for the read and response!

Played this session last night. Feeling really good. I am experiencing an awesome feeling. When I have some run good, the first thing I want to do is slow down and regain my focus and perspective. In the past, when I’m running well, I would immediately play higher. Increase my monitory as well as emotional variance.
Regardless of results, I will be sticking to plo100 unless i reach 15k. If I get to that point I might take 10BI and move to 200plo. I think 75BI is enough to shot take 200. But I don’t want to think about this. I want to enjoy my mental progress as well bankroll progress! Thank you for reading. Thank you Dan Self for commenting!

First time posting picture here. I hope this is correctly posted if not I will take it down. This is my progress since starting the A Game Masterclass. If you read my most recent 2+2 thread. I have challenged myself to play .50/1 for an entire year. Starting bankroll $6,202 Logging my sessions with time and profit or loss. To prove to myself multiple of things. But the big one is bankroll discipline. Which is my biggest leak, and the resistance in my first Brave worksheet. So. My hourly rate including RB is. I have played for a total of 24 hours, and won $1,035 which computes $43.13. Which is more than my hourly at my current job!! And most jobs in US for that matter lol! I feel awesome
Bankroll: $7,237

Hi everyone, I have been on a long term poster on 2+2. I have had several threads over the past 3-4 years.
Most recent: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/174/poker-goals-amp-challenges/my-journey-pt-3-a-1765970/
Epic 26k roll to melt down busto: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/174/poker-goals-amp-challenges/plo5-daily-journal-emoji1015-emoji1017-1748497/
I will try to make my intro brief. The most important things to realize when having a conversation with me because everyone situation is different so here is come context.
-29 yr old, married, child, full time job 35+hours a week
- poker bankroll is not replenishable ( if I go busto I cannot reload period.)
- been playing poker for 14 years. Largest bankroll ever was around 26k.
- 99% of all of my profit and success in the game has come from the apps and hudless USA sites.
-Normal poker playing hours are around 10hours a week. But I can listen to pod casts, listen to videos, type and respond on these forums daily atleast 30mins to an hour a day.
-Goal is to have poker as a hobby forever, unless I breakthrough into high stakes. But I must make substantial $$ before leaving my job. (I love working at job, easy zero stress. I genuinely enjoy it)
-I love talking through my poker journey please comment message!
-I purchased Elliot Roe A Game Masterclass, this is the first piece of non strategy content I have ever purchased ever. I bought it 7 days ago and have already reached a new bankroll high since my rebuild
-I only PLO 4card HI and have had a lot of success in 5card HI as well. (Game is very popular on the apps)
I will post a bankroll update with my progress since purchasing the MasterClass. Please let’s talk have a discussion and grow together! I want like minded people, not the troll on 2+2

Sir. I would like to enter a consistent conversation with you. I have read your entire thread. I have and still go through similar relentless negative self talk. What stakes do you play? What site do you play? What % of RB is actually coming to your poker bankroll?

Just finished this session. Biggest win in a long time. Feels really really good. Current hourly is $82.10 lol! Can’t run like this forever but I am keeping things simple. Most likely will not play another session until I do the next worksheet for the Masterclass. Thanks for reading!
