Hey Phil. You talked about your mental capacity, feeling 100% etc., a subject that is not talked about often but is currently my main concern.
I often have days or stretches of days where I pass up on games because I don't feel good about playing, which greatly reduces my volume. It's hard to put it on paper but it's a mix of bad physical condition (tired, bad nutrition) and a general mental dysphoria that greatly impacts my decision making and my confidence levels. Whenever I try to just plow through it and put in the hours I end up playing sub-par.
Any thoughts or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

It's probably been mentioned before but you need a better mic and/or recording software.

I got duped...I expected some tuff fish-like content. Phil is either playing us or he hasn't been tilted for so long that he's forgotten what tilt means.

Thanks, that makes sense. I considered folding for like a minute but then I came to my senses and pushed. Can you tell I've mostly been playing PLO the past few years? lol. I even got accused of angle-shooting after the hand was over. My main concern was that it was very early and I still had a full stack in a tour with a very soft field. My thought process was similar to getting 5bet shoved in the first level of a deep stack holding KK with no reads.
It folded around, he called with A5dd and busted me.

Actually I went back to my notes and my stack was 20k not 25k. Do I really want to call and price in flush draws, 2pairs and overpairs? Also, since this is live I would not be surprised to see one of the other players involved showing up with a better hand. Do we ever consider folding here?

Early day 1 blinds are 100-200, I started the hand with around 25k.
Villain is young black kid. So far looks like a solid tag.
UTG limps,3 folds, Villain (HJ) limps, Hero (CO) limps with 22, BTN limps, SB completes, BB checks.
Flop: (1200)
Ax 2d 6d
Checks to me and I bet 800. BTN, SB, BB & UTG all call, HJ raises to 5k. He's got me covered.
I'm not sure if he could ever limp aces there, but let's just consider it highly unlikely.
What do?
When should we expect your next video? Will your frequency always be this low?
