@CornoAP And that’s just one aspect.

There’s so much that it teaches you. It gives incredible perspective that the temporary ups and downs are just that- temporary.

Anyone who thinks deeper lessons can’t be taken and real life change can’t happen… that’s depressing.

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@CornoAP Yeah 100% with you.

I come at it all from a faith perspective, but so often we end up getting caught up chasing money and treating it like an idol that will fix our problems. AP BJ breaks that. You start to see the frailty of the power of money and realize it’s just a tool.

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@CornoAP Love to see it!

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@BDTH21 He’s a legend!

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@BDTH21 This last question is from my wife… for your wife. When anyone is going to start a support group for “wives of APs with kids at home” 😂.

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@BDTH21 It really just sort of breaks me. I can know the math and the logic that eventually it will end and I can know I am playing positive EV rounds etc.

But it’s just this thing that it feels like it’s impossible to win when you just keep getting beat down.

@BDTH21 “And it never failed that during the dry years the people forgot about the rich years, and during the wet years they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way.” -Steinbeck

I think about this every time I’m in a long losing or break even streak.

@SD1_AP @BDTH21 Just finished this- doubling up on this recommendation

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@MrBeast 5. World's best hider vs. 100 seekers
6. World's best thief vs. 100 teenagers trying to guard a bank vault
7. Mr. Beast team working a fast food restaurant vs. everyone who shows up when it's posted on social - to see if they can survive the rush.

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@MrBeast 1. MLB pitcher vs. 100 normal people trying to score one run
2. World's best golfer vs. 100 amateur golfers - first one to get hole-in-one wins
3. World's best soccer players (5) vs. 100 kids
4. World's best eater vs. 100 people - who can eat the most feastables

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@SD1_AP Truly outrageous.

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@BDTH21 Any genera you particularly like?

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@BDTH21 Well - to celebrate your return and as thank you from APs everywhere - next time you're in nashville if you want a free stake at Jeff Ruby's - hit me up!

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@BDTH21 I mean every part of this is insanely stupid. What dealer draws to. The fact that at a true 6 you’re getting 12s galore. That’s absolutely brutal. Good variance coming your way soon.

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@SD1_AP @sincitycapital @discount_ap When I heard you mention this guy on the podcast today my first thought was “I can’t wait to hear what nonsense @sincitycapital is going to try and spout after this” 😂 didn’t disappoint

APs will literally always be ahead of surveillance. You are just the reaction to our action

@EnigmaAPLife Legend.

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@EnigmaAPLife Two things I’m doing to help this- but would love any other insight:

1. Just training more and more so that adding up hand totals is 100% second nature- and just keeping count
2. While I’m training at home I have ChatGPT as me tons of questions non-stop.

[Briefly Obsessed @Briefobsessed]

@EnigmaAPLife I’m getting better - but carrying on conversations/being outgoing at the table while not losing the count.
