That's a great thing he said at the end. It's better to have a strong and consistent B game. I usually play pretty solid compared to everyone else, but if I play for 6-10 hours, I quickly become worse than everyone else, even if they too have been playing 8 hours. I need to work on my C game, or learn to quick after a few hours.
2:40 --- "I think even more so with a short deck game. You can lose 7 or 8 flips in a row, you know, it's not uncommon." Relative to a normal deck? or is a flip 50/50 in both cases? Perhaps what he perceives as a "flip" isn't a flip.
Practice should make someone better at poker, but, unlike basketball, soccer or "normal" sports, though, poker still has that "luck" element that is completely out of your control. You could do everything right in a hand, and even though you are a 98% favorite, still lose.
There is one reason rich poker got rich playing poker, it's because they are the luckiest, simple as that. Luck out weighs skill in poker, no skill involved in2 7 beating aa in a hand, it's the luck of the cards.

swing is the hardest adversity in poker, have to believe in yourself unless you gotta be mind fuck by the game

short deck = 6+ holdem?
magiet12 no you play with half of the deck 26cards holdem
thx!
No, it just means you lost passion for the game. But then again ivey never really showed much emotion in poker to begin with
I practise all the time
Look at Phil's Klingon type forehead. Large frontal lobe=high logical reasoning.
PedalTheGlobe Vulcans would make good players, zero tilt. 😂
I've been playing opker awhile and never heard of these guys, so they must not be good
Clearly a troll
Yeah they are both small time guys. Just getting started

You obviously don't know what you're talking about especially since you can't even spell POKER correctly 🤔
