Great video, thanks for the insight into something mentally other than tilt/focus
Personally I've played for a few years but been between 2nl-10nl (based on bankroll). I've always found my weakness is that I have a few good weeks and few off weeks and then I plateau for a long time. I think if I were to put it in terms of the levers I believe myself to have a skill level greater than these stakes, which I believe gives me a edge (sometimes a negative edge in over complication) and I can mostly efficiently apply the skill to the hands. Where I struggle is that after a few weeks/months of that plateau, in which I still put in volume at the same stakes (2nl, 5nl, 10nl) and I just burnout and stop, or start playing tournaments or something.
Seeing you put that term "burnout" made a realization as to how that was exactly what I was doing. Which I guess was why this time round without having a name for it, knew I had to push through that "bottleneck" of my game. I am trying to increase my skill (haven't purchased RIO yet), and trying to increase my edge and efficiency for my stakes. I guess I used to think that learning poker was a linear progression of understanding poker from "what is a flush" to "what is the frequency of bets of XX on XXX" but it's more than that. If I can bring myself back down to earth versus the opponents at my stake I will have a greater chance to increase this "edge" I have between them because I can exploit their tendencies better by knowing relevant information over the information that would be relevant for a 200nl zoom session.
I guess after this long rant when you said what category or title would you apply to yourself I could see myself as somewhat of a "glass bankroll nit". I am a little tighter, if that plateau doesn't increase then I tend to fade away and in the past when I have moved up stakes I have doubted myself when I know I can be apart of it. As mentioned I haven't purchased anything yet as I am trying to use free videos around the internet to gauge whether this is that "lever" I need to increase to see my profits increase but if it is I think I'll be looking forward to hearing more of your videos.
