Surprised to see this as Essential content, the info was pretty legit def had me confused for an Elite video lol. Cheers.

Thanks for the video. I don't have any immediate suggestions for future content but it seems like you've already got the ball rolling pretty well.

I'm currently going through all of these videos 1-2 per week and enjoying the content a lot.

haha right? He's totally the Bob Ross of RIO.

Wow already been 2-3 weeks since I wrote this lol. Yes it's easy to fall back into old habits which I generally have unfortunately.

But I have made some incremental improvements, such as trying to have only poker content on in the background (suggested in the video) while playing poker. So I run a mental game RIO video, or a PokerGo highlight video in the background for entertainment but it's still poker related so it's not as distracting as watching a Netflix show or sports game. It helps to keep me stimulated and not stuck in silence, while at the same time doesn't take me too far out of the way of what I'm trying to achieve.

I play with like a million distractions and I just took it for granted. Probably have been playing my ~B game (at best) for years for the most part without even realizing it. Cheers.

In the video it was mentioned you felt like you were getting run over a bit when it was 3 handed. When you are losing pots consecutively, in this case mainly due to poor cards, I feel it's unlikely the opponents will continue to try to put excessive pressure. This is the inflection point where, in my experience, the person bleeding chips tends to get frustrated and start making plays and I think the other players know that. So after losing a number of pots in a short amount of time, I feel the probability of them exploiting this is relatively low.

Of course, this isn't actually a solution to the situation, but rather just a comment on I would be surprised if the guy to your left thought "hey this guy is playing a bit passively, let's try to run him over every single pot in every situation possible!" and more likely he caught a run of good or relatively decent cards.

Would love to see some 5card analysis from you.
