If you're playing at the WSOP this year, try this:
Raw dog your poker play.
> No phone.
> No music.
> No texting.
> Just you and your thoughts.
It will suck at first but you will soon find yourself in a flow state.

The higher your stress tolerance, the greater your capacity to evolve and make progress super quickly. Most people only go at a rate that's comfortable.
Losers prefer slow (or no) progress, heat setting on low.
Winners say GIVE ME THE FUCKING HEAT & deal w treating burns LATER.
Yesterday felt like some kind of change in the landscape of online poker MTTs. Coin, ACR & WPT all hitting huge fields outside of a traditional “series” time. Games as far as I see from data are softer than they have been for 10 years. Have we stumbled across a new boom?
My first live stream will be on Sunday I’ll be in the best tourneys we can play in the states. Set ur calendar!! I’m doing it for the love of the game I will have fun with it and u will learn a lot
I only ejaculate once every 2 months, but i do have orgasms a lot more...let me explain how me and my wife take making love to the next level
Now before you all go crazy in the replies....read on...
1: sexual energy (also called jing, or essence, in Chinese medicine) is literally the battery of your life linked to kidney energy. Once it runs out...your life is over. Why do you think old men do not get hard, or old women do not get wet? Their jing is depleted. Doubt it? Look into jing
2: As the famous Chinese sage Sun Simiao, said, if you are 20 years old: ejaculate once every 4 days, age 30: once every 8 days, age 40: once every 16 days, age 50: once every 20–21 days, age 60+: Once every 30 days or more (or rarely/minimally, especially if health is weaker). Women lose their sexual power during period, and having babies, which is the singular reason they liver longer.
3: To understand this even more. Buy the book, for men: taoist secrets of love, by mantak chia. Or for women, healing love through the tao, by mantak Chia. It will explain all the taoist love making techniques
4: as a Taoist sexual kungfu practitioner, together with my wife, i can control my sexual energy. I can literally have an orgasm in every part of my body, and control it at will. This means, during love-making session with my wife, we go higher, and higher, and higher, keep recycling the sexual energy without ejaculating (or in her case coming), and in time we have a ¨valley-orgasm¨, a massive super vibrating orgasm only very few people experience. We have this every time we make love, which is more or less once a week. This valley-orgasms are so powerful that we stay satisfied for the whole week, sometimes my wife even says: ¨my god, i feel like high for 2 days after we make love, crazy¨. I do ejaculate once every 2 months more or less, because the pressure get so big, so intense, that i barely sleep anymore, so i know it is time to ejaculate. Fasting or darkroom-retreats can eliminate this entirely and when i do my long retreats i never even think about sex
5: we never make love when she has her period, or when she is ovulating. i can literally smell, and look at her shining face, when her ovulation is close, so we never need to use normal anti-conceptive methods. When we wanted kids, we got them on the first try...every time, and we know what days not to make love to not get pregnant
6: you might all be skeptical about this, but i invite you to study the books, be open to this, learn with your partner. My wife and i have a lovely relationship and it is mostly based on the fact that we do not deplete each other energetically. My wife did not know about this before meeting me, but she is open to it, and learned, so that is great. So please introduce your partner to it as well
you wanted the key to longevity, an amazing sex-life, multi-oragsmic valley orgasms, and much more, here you go
😉
"Poker got so tough." WRONG!
Poker games have never been as SOFT as these days.
And there are various reasons.
1) Solver & Schools
Yes. It's easier to learn Poker than ever. BUT, it also makes people lazier.
Look, society is getting fatter and unhealthier, despite having countless health apps, videos, courses, and gimmicks to make it easier to live a healthier life.
It gives people an illusion. Low effort, big outcome.
Wrong. It still requires a big effort and consistency.
For most, they see a shortcut, finally, the magic pill.
Get this new fitness tracker, take these supplements, or take this course, and you will reach my dream weight. Wrong.
I see the same in Poker.
Just because you have an overwhelming number of Coaches, Videos, Solvers, Programs, and gimmicks does not make a Population significantly better.
I think people believe this stuff will magically make them better.
It does help those who understand how to use these resources, paired with effort and consistency.
2) Marketing:
More sites are putting out big promotions. 10 years ago, we had one big poker site. Now, surely, we have a market leader, but the gap is not as big as it was 10 years ago.
Live Poker is growing. More and more opportunities for people to choose from juicy cash games, tournaments, and online series
3) Content & Streamer
More and more people show their poker journey on Social Media. I don't need to tell you its positive impact on the softness of the games.
4) Pricepools
10 years ago, we were playing $500 and $1000 Tournaments as the highlight of the week.
Today, 5ks, 10ks, 25ks, every week.
Playing for hundreds of thousands in one single tournament every week.
Sunday Million was the highlight of the week.
Today, you have big weekly events on 4-5 poker sites.
And if you ask me personally, I would claim that the games got significantly softer.
If you invest 100 hours of high-quality study in Poker today, you would get further ahead than you would have 10 years ago.
