When you listen to phil ivey on the story of how he became successful you understand he really put it all on the line. He wanted to live the life more than most people.

Thats what stupid ppl tell themselves to make themselves feel better :)

And very few ppl are ''average'', the fact is that 50% of them are simply bellow average.

And yes i do agree that Average/hardworking will always beat brilliant and lazy, but in poker terms, it takes more then average/hardworking to become Ivey, Galfond or Tom Dawn, those guys are all both brilliant and hardworking. It simply takes both.

Just read this.

Cliffs?

You need to do 10K hours of 'deliberate practice' to succeed at anything worthwhile, however talented you are. I calculate I'll be done in 15 years time. Woohoo!
