The Life Cycle of a Poker Player (and my thoughts on live vs online)

[ QUOTE ]


Brandon you are obviously a well educated guy with a great understanding of both poker and the sort of life skills required to succeed.

This is not a critisicm I just cant comprehend how someone with your level of intelligence can lose more than 700k playing high stakes pot limit omaha this year online. Do you put it down to running bad?

And that is definitely not a question a well educated guy with great understanding of both poker and life skills would ask.

Pretty silly.

I missed his post in this thread before I asked it where he answers why he has had bad results online.

However I dont see how this can be considered a bad question given the tone of his article.

Because anyone asking it clearly doesn’t understand the least bit about poker, gambling or any risk related endeavor. It is not a terrible question but the way in which you phrased the question makes you look ignorant and uneducated about poker. It basically reads, “ZOMG YOU LOST 700k YOU MUST SUCK. WHY DIDN’T YOU QUIT SOONER?”

Ok perhaps the wordage was wrong....


Was his own experiences that led him to understand better what the difference is between the great online players psyche versus a live mentality and what different elements it takes to get to these levels. I am curious...

for some reason reading this part made me feel a little scared because I'm 19, and also provided me with a surge of motivation to work on my poker game/ and other things in life.
