Hello All,
I have realized some key points after going through the course this far. I have recognized the best thing I can do is learn how to ask myself why real time and test my thinking with logic off the table (math+equity calculator). My hypothesis is Running every hand that I play using applicable formulas from "Phil Galfond's the Foundation" off the table will give me the intuition (foundation) to build the rest of my game so I have the tools to test every decision on each street to build an intuition to ask why realtime (in game).
Any Feedback or suggestions will be great!

Greetings all!
I purchased the "Foundation Course" from Phil Galfond 3 days ago. Let me tell you I have been a semi successful low stakes player and conformable in most games that I have played, but I realized that I have a lot of work to do after watching the first hour of the video. Ultimately, I understood from watching the first hour that realizing the dream of becoming a professional poker player is easy but hard at the same time.Easy because the road map that Phil lays out is easy to digest but hard because it will take consistent action over time and a lot of hard work to ingraining the topics in my mind. With this being said I was up late last night going back and forth with myself thinking about the possibilities of what if I spent all of my time working on downloading this thought process and workflow into my head? Then, my mind wondered and habits of doubt and not this not being realist goal snuck into my mind. Ultimately, after hours of thought and deliberation I realized that I can do anything I put my time into. So I decided that I need a character make over and develop myself in to the person that can succeed at poker. Which means I need to strip my mind and body of everything accept poker. As of today I have deleted social media, YouTube, tv, social engagements, and basically anything that doesn't get me better at poker foundation. For the past few months I go to the gym to do 500 pushups 5 day a week. What I will be adding to that is 2 hours of yoga daily so that I stay relaxed, balanced diet, and the rest of the day improving at my Foundation of poker for the next 14 days. I wanted this forum to serve as a platform to 1 improve my poker communication 2.indoctrinate myself into the poker community 3. share hands ask questions 4. improve how I think about the game
Thanks for you time I hope to hear from everyone Happy Grinding!!

I think that there is merit to everything said here. However a lot of the times us as player worry about trying to sound smart and impressing with elaborate writings and such. The reality is all you need to do is build your charter through extremely hard work the 3 ways listed below will give you the fundamental thought process needed to all you to apply any strategy in really time. Remember there are a lot of people who know everything about poker but because of laziness and the inability to put in hours of off the table work in the foundation of the game they are never able to get the results they want.
1.play the10% of hands
2. have a hand recording system to test spots of the table
3. Learn to use equity and ev interchangeably Real time with an estimate and Off the table with hours and hours of practice. ( can worry about ranges if you haven't mastered how to evaluate these 2) the fact that this is a question shows the lack of mastery
That repetition gets your mind ready to handle the learning process of poker regardless of what style you want to play. The tight range teaches mental discipline to stick with a strategy the more skilled you become with the basics the more robust your game can become, but you have to put your time in! Remember the "EGO/mental game" will never allow an on the fence player truly excel without proper humility to take the time to fine tune the character and mindset of the logic surrounding poker. All Strategies are built off the the individual players understanding and application of these three things.

Greetings potential friends and partners!
I am a moderately successful live poker player at 1/3 in the casino and various stakes in home games. Recently moving home from Las Vegas to care for my sick mother. This relocation has provided me with an opportunity to focus 100% on poker with no overhead. I have purchased "From The Ground Up" by Peter Clarke and I am going to do just that. I started a Global Poker Account and I am going to Grind it up from the .05/.10 up to 4 tabling .25/.50 as the material suggests. I am looking for anyone interested in talking poker and analyzing hands that are down to go all in on this material as a guide for success. Discord will be awesome or any other preferred communication.
Ultimately, who knows? One thing I did see you have a higher win rate on ACR. So if you are playing poker to make money go where the money is.
