I’m sure you are right but it’s even dumber in his scenario.
He is obviously capable of learning how to play properly. He chooses not to I guess because it’s counter to his general nature. I can understand this of the average weekend warrior fun player but for a guy who chooses this as a career to knowingly choose to do it poorly is really odd. Hard to think of another career analogy.
I mean I know 10 people who are terrible at their chosen profession in my department alone.
Yeah, the trait of doing enough to not get fired but not putting in much effort to develop skills that could help with future advancement is present in a lot of people. In fact, it might even be slightly less common in poker b/c the connection between improved skills and making more money is more direct in poker than some other jobs.
That why I don’t think your average underachieving office slub is a good analogy.
It’s more like stock trader investing in only a market wide etf and calling it good for his career.
That would actually outperform most active traders
True. But would guarantee you don’t succeed in the profession.
There are 100% a lot of players who you could give them the best coach and it wouldn’t matter.
Tennis, golf etc coaches have made a career out of serving this kind of person
A flawed strategy executed perfectly, is better than a perfect strategy with flawed execution
Lol that HU limit battle.
No wonder it’s the only form of poker truly solved.
Less than 100/24,000 left in $300 and Daniel Negreanu still in.
First is his buyin for two bullets in the super high roller next week lol.
Its a really lukewarm take by me, but it kinda annoys me that phil galfond hasnt shown up to the wsop and doesnt plan on.
Like obv he gets to do whatever he wants, but he sells so many poker products and his name itself is one of the strongest brands in poker and he dislike it so much he doesnt even want to show up?
He has never really been an MTT guy right?
He has 3 bracelets and hes playing all the online wsop events even this year.
Doesn’t he even live there? I’m not sure but think so.
i’m pretty sure he does. his wife has been playing events
just opened the 50k live stream. lon and maria ho are not who i hoped to hear
That is odd to live there and not play any.
3rd or better gets him (DNegs) unstuck for the series so far!
he’s like the anti galfond. he truly loves that shit. i was talking to a friend who’s grinding vegas asked if he’s playing the gladiator thing. he said he probably wouldn’t play it if they pay him 300 bucks. DN out there playing every event
