The most valuable lesson poker has taught me is to avoid being results oriented. Regret based on outcome is alien to me. You're confronted with a problem, you assess the pros and cons and you decide accordingly. What happens afterwards is out of your hands and shouldn't matter.

How to make it in poker these days: 1. Don't do it 2. If you ignore point 1, seek the right guidance/mentor 3. Play micros/low stakes for practice, not BR building 4. Earn yourself a BR with your day job and hop into mid stakes when you/your mentor thinks you're ready

@DougPolkVids I've crushed red lines vs some opponents and with the same tactic lose against others in the red line. This red line is probably the result of you having balanced aggro frequencies, Daniel being too passive overall and being a bit of a station will help your red line a lot too

@DougPolkVids Congrats on taking the challenge down, was an entertaining watch for sure. The red line often is merely a reflection of how your opponent is reacting to you strategy, more than your own strategy being entirely correct

My boy @DougPolkVids getting crushed pretty badly in his first session. I still have good faith that he'll take the challenge home in the long run, so I'm looking to bet at 4 to 1 on his side. Maximum bet: $1.000.000 to $250.000 @bp22 @CrownUpGuy @phil_hellmuth any takers?

Selling 30% of my action in the omaholic mystery bounty on GGpoker, should be a decent buy at no mark-up. Let's hope for a deep run!

@Joeingram1 Would happily help you out with such a thing and I think it’s a very interesting subject. Would be nice to have some people chime in that sacrificed everything and didn’t make it in the end

@antimatron Online poker is declining and it's extremely tough to reach the nosebleeds if you start out now. If you are talented enough to make it in the poker world, it's probably best to utilize this skillset in another professional field

@hero_richie @RealKidPoker Not tilted at all. It was something that happened slowly but surely. The last day was a coinflip and mentally I was prepared for both of the possible outcomes. It's not like I was happy with the outcome, but I've been pretty lucky in life so no need to feel sorry for myself
