On my way to join the 1M$ Profit Club

Hey guys, didnt realized i didnt posted correctly, now is done, cheers! and more post coming

PART II

So even if at first glance my graph looks quite solid, and that variance is a myth, there’s a big moment of my career where all the leaks I was dragging finally got me.
And this is 2019-end of 2020.:f_eek:

And the main leaks I could spot that took me to this point were::f_zZz:

• Being too micro at my PIO studies.

• Even when I studied macro, I didn’t followed my conclusions.

• Lack of organization to study complex spots:f_confused:

• Bad habits/mental game in general.:f_rolleyes:

For me it’s a surprise that I didn’t lost more, so you might be wondering how did I overcome this?

Well, So I decided to ask a reg that I look up to, Die Ventura, and he told me about Pokerdetox, a stable completely oriented on MDA strategies (Mass data analysis on population tendencies), that could help me to fix leaks that I was unable to fix on my own, and even would cover mental game as well.
So I applied I signed a 1 ½ years contract, since I have so much to tell about my experience there, I would dedicate a post to it, so thanks for reading and GL in the tables!

Hello, how’s going guys? First of all, sorry for taking so long in the next post, I plan to do about 3-4 post per month.

PART IV- Perfectionism

In today's post I would like to talk about one of the leaks that has cost me the most to overcome, and that is perfectionism, whatever his origin, childhood, common belief, etc., perfectionism is frequently associated with the problem of not being able to let go of mistakes, but let's analyze perfectionism from a conscious and mechanical point of view.

Conscious:

Many times we have the belief that perfectionism is the way to reach the highest level, and we see many very successful people in their field as perfectionists, and although it may work for some people, the reality is that, while setting realistic high standards, it is Importantly, expecting perfection in whatever we do will not only be impossible but also frustrating.

From what we know about the "flow state"(the peak of human performance), is that optimal performance appears when the challenge makes the individual strive to achieve an achievable goal just above their current peak, setting unrealistically high goals has proven detrimental to reaching these states.

Another point that I would like to talk about is the common mistake of judging ourselves harshly after a mistake, if we were someone's coach and he made a mistake in a tournament, probably what we would do would be to make him see the mistake so it doesn’t happen again, but seek to give him confidence to continue focus in the tournament, we would not use words like, what an idiot you were! Why the hell did you do that? How do you hope to win playing like this! because clearly these expressions are not only unnecessary, but They are also destructive and will not help you at all, so how could it be okay for us to talk to each other like this after a mistake?

Since the post was longer than I expected, I will do a second part on this topic, tell me what you think, greetings and good luck at the tables!

Meh, classic fish on a heater.

JK, I find it strange you didn't get any replies after posting such a sexy graph!

I got some questions and inputs:

What do you mean by "micro" and "macro" at pio studies?
Do you late reg non-KOs or you prefer to play from beginning? What is your observasions on this topic?

I actually like the tough love kinda teachers. One of them is Raskolnikov, I still remember a video where he raged when his student made "gay bets" Sure it may have been uncomfortable for the student to hear, but it sure will stick in his mind and help him learn...

Do you play any tournaments other than Holdem?

There is a saying, "The perfect is the enemy of the good" — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_the_enemy_of_good
Trying too hard to be perfect means we either fail to recognize that we have achieved some success. It might also mean that trying to hard makes us fail completely.

Great post — cheers!
