I am so a living example of this. The biggest dips in my graph are when I am not doing well Spiritually or whatever and bored and trying to punt off for excitement
This video is a confirmation of everything I have been studying and with your words, it became even clearer. Ben, you and your work are extremely valuable to the new generation of poker players (including me) and to humanity! You and your effort to become a better person every day are a huge inspiration for me and my family. Stay safe and have a nice day
Winning poker ist boring. It's that boring daily grind that matters. I don't feel dopamine at all, since i play stakes i can absolutely afford. Just yesterday a friend of mine i have been coaching on cashgame asked me about tournaments, about HU, spins etc. And he hasn't even mastered cash games. But people want to feel that adrenaline rush.
Im playing poker since i was kid and i failed always and i was ,,crying,, because i thought im unlucky at this game because i knew i had good strategy but , like he said i had poor routines , poor mindset and unhealthy lifestyle which leads to failing in poker . When i watched this video i felt like he is watching me through my life everything is true and this really helps me and i want to improve in my life and also in poker . I was never thinking like this and i just forgot about myself . This video is really important for me because like i feel that i can be professional poker player but i forgot that i also need to live like professional and not like average person . Thank you Bencb and lets do it .
My routine at the moment is everyday: 1 hour of mental game studying, 1 hour of technical studying and 4 hours of playing. So really making the difference between the mental game and the technical aspect, it gives me some nice variation. Between the two hours studying i will go for a run for example :) Thanks for all the good content Ben, really helpfull! :)
Awesome video Ben, really glad you have brought these important topics to peoples awareness. 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS: #1: Reduce your dopamine cravings: -This will allow you to study effectively, get into a flow state whilst grinding and to be able to learn poker at a deep level. TIP: Master distractions in your environment. #2: The REAL reason most players fail: -Wrong mindset -Poor work ethic -Not working smart -Too big of an ego -Not enjoying the process -Only doing it for the money TIP: You need to enjoy the process of learning poker or you will not succeed at poker over the long term. #3: Lifestyle routines that make a big difference: -reduce and detox dopamine cravings -improving your work ethic -studying efficiently -meditating -working out regularly -following a healthy diet TIP: These changes are an investment in yourself and will give you so much more mental clarity and happiness. I cover a lot of these topics on my channel if anyone is interested in exploring them further. Thanks again for this video Ben.
Ah! Finally, someone saying it like it is. Love this video Bencb. Absolutely, this applies to almost everything you do in your life to be a success. 1. PASSION. This drives everything, the motivation, the desire. 2. The right PLAN. This gets you to where you want to be. This video touches upon this plan which includes not only researching the best resources but self-inspection as well. 3. PRACTICE. Successful quality practice must occur to gain the confidence needed to be a success. 4. PATIENCE. Never give up. Ebbs and flows are normal process of learning and improving. Success comes sooner or later, but mostly later. And finally. 5. PROFESSIONAL. Accept that success is not to be the best, but to reach a level of professionalism. My five P's to success.
This is spot on! The truth hurts our egos very often, and blind us so we're ain't able to focus on what we need to. Gonna use myself as a example. Been playing over 15 years been winning but mostly losing over the years. Here's the really bad part. I've never been in doubt of my poker skill set while playing. What was making me a losing player was terrible bankroll management and not being able to play lower limits, because I couldn't focus down there and normally just punted off because it was boring and wasn't focused. I've known this for years, and still wasn't able to change it because it was boring. To say it honestly I was to weak to change it! 2 years ago I've finally pulled myself together and began to use bankroll management and not playing to high. I've cut down my session time and only playing while I was well rested and on top mentally. And started to study 30 min- 2 hours a day. These few changes have transformed my results in a degree you won't even believe 😊 I normally don't make comments on RUclips content, but the video is so true and so relevant for me as a person and poker player. I've experienced all of it on my on body and mind! Thank you for this video. Have a nice Sunday
It's really a hard question to answer. For me yes. It's really about how you like to study and learn. Personally I love the Webinar sessions where different things being discussed every time.Spots, 3 bet strategies, icm, you name it. Can also be about tools. It's all about finding the right place to study and finding something that suits your level. I also heard only good things about RYE from many many people 😊
Allan Sørensen Great comment. My best mate also struggles with this exact problem. Cannot get excited about the $1.10 MTT’s so plays under rolled (I was the same when I started) If you have no bankroll management you will lose and keep losing. Variance is a thing lol
@@michaelsimpson3574 Fortunately I learned through experience that the last bit is the most wrong bit. Workout, healthy died, vitamins, clear brain, goals are all excellent advice, but the last bit is very bad advice. We humans are social animals and we feel better when we are accepted by our social circles. If one dont give a fk about people around him, he will become miserable over time. You don't have to believe me.
@@jkepic25 I don't think that's how he means it. you are going to have people tell you bad things, one of the facts of life. It would be a huge waste of time to try and become "accepted" by them.
Man ... recognizing that I put my focus on the wrong things to succeed in poker really hurts ... you opened my eyes with this. It really is frustrating for now to be that average person, but I can see myself in almost everything you mentioned. Putting too much emphasis on strategy instead of all the other areas in life. Controlling my dopamin cravings and everything ... this hurts for now, but I promise to myself now, to become an extraordinary person. Thank you for that Ben. One day, I might be able to afford your courses and I will do exactly that. Poker is my dream, my future. But I am working hard on the wrong places. Got that now. Great video ! And the first video I was able to listen to for 30 minutes without losing focus and give in to dopamin cravings, thats huge. Usually my attention drops around 5 to 10 minutes. Great Work Ben ! Thank you for that ! I will come back to this video in 6 months when I changed my routines and became a better person and give all the props to you sir.
Best side content i've got so far from Ben. I love this kind of the basis which tend to influence the whole things in life and please share your process of being refreshed while you were alone in the nature Ben :)
My dopamine cravings are out of control. Hard hitting advice. Getting this under control is going to take quite a bit of effort, but it has to be done as I'm getting nowhere with my present routine. Great advice Ben!
From a mathematical standpoint the avarege person (with an average stategy) is losing because of rake. Rake is the reason why there will allways be way more losing players than winning players.
Ben, I just wanna say thank you for this video it really opened my eyes to realizing that I fall for dopamine cravings way more than I admit to sadly. Please keep up the good content!
@Raise Your Edge... I was watching more poker related videos on your channel, one of my friend suggested to watch also some mental strength related videos... I am impressed the way these videos are created and definitely it helps a lot.. I liked the specially the statement "I dont want you to buy my courses", This shows how dedicatedly you are creating these videos ad really want to help the poker community...Thanks a lot for these videos
Hey Ben, really enjoyed this type of video. Now more than ever dopamine management is crucial. It's very easy to fall into the trap of forgetting good routines you've worked so hard to maintain when you see others around you giving 8-10hrs of their day to Netflix, waking up at midday or later etc. I realise you focus your energy on other areas but I found this video very motivating and would be a loyal listener if you made a weekly/bi-weekly podcast on this type of content. I've moved away from poker, more of a casual player now but still consume RYE content because these principles are widely applicable for achieving success in all walks of life. Thanks for the vid!
Every poker player thinks that one nice score will send them on their way to never ending success but really it's a never ending grind that require rediculous consistency in so many categories Br management, poker fundamentals , mindset, who you take advice or learn strategy with...
Since i started working out last year and studying poker this year. I kinda find my self in spots where i ask my self: Have i lost my focus and just autoplayed my strategy and loose against Aces on a Q high board so do i have to work on myself. Or is it the lack of experience, that i rather see a bluff and not a monster Hand. Especially when i got 3 bet from the small Blind preflop. Sometimes people also just flat or limp with aces. That is one big thing that really bothers me at this point. Liebe Grüße!❤
I admit I do overeat but I do exercise to stay fit. But after listening to you I'll change my habit and try to be healthy and wealthy in poker fraternity.
Ever since I got over a major illness I have been doing all the non-poker things you mention in this video. After I really felt like I had come a long way in the non-poker regard I decided it was time to try playing poker again. This video is quite encouraging. Thanks man.
Great content! I'm actually in the middle of a dopamine detox where I meditate daily, only go to social media once a day, workout without music or any audio, turn off all devices 1 hour before bed time and fall asleep without music /podcast. I do this once in a while for periods ranging from 7-10 days with great results.
Great video as always, thanks. I would recommend the book "Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World" to people that are interested in "the ability to master distraction"and the "practice of distraction-free productivity at work". Good luck at the tables.
Nice video as always.The thing i knew and i loved from poker, is that it exposes the weakness you have, not only the strategy related, but also your overall mindset. But of course you need to have the privilege of getting your ego out of the way to see that.
You’re good. I mean really, very good. Law of attraction, mindset and consistency are inherently interlinked. This is a super intelligent video giving seriously good advice.
Another brilliant video. At the end of 2019 I realized that mindset is the most important thing if you try to get good at poker (or at any other thing basically). I had doubts that I'm not intelligent enough, that I don"t have talent for this game etc but then I realized it's all bullshit and that it's just my mindset that holds me back and locks my potential. I started to take poker seriously, set my goals, my routines, started to workout 5-7 days a week, started to eat healthy, to work on time management etc and just relized I can achieve anything I want with right mindset, dedication and willpower and that it's bullshit to think I lack talent etc. Just taking it one day at a time and getting a job done. Of course there are rough times, there still are some doubts etc but it's easier to overcome with right goals, progress tracking and positive mindset. I believe that man can do anything he wants with right amount of work (and luck ofc :-D) . Everything else are just excuses...I mean hard work beats talent in long run.
i cannot look at him or hear his voice at all...he probrably says very intresting things...and its not his fault but fuck me i cannot watch more than 2 minutes lol!!!
for 1 month i start: interminttent fasting, i changes my diet to less meat, soda&fastfood i dont eat for few years, i drink alot of water, i start exercises at home(when im not making exercises i run few milles), for lower dopamin craivings i did this: for more then 2 years i dont watch tv,i dont watch news,i dont have installed on my phone apps like:fb,instagram,etc ,so basicaly i made my phone a PHONE (just speak& mails) thats all, will see in few months the results , yuhuuuu im so excited, thanks BEN
21:40 you mention mental benefits. I couldn't agree more; after having played poker for about 1.5 years now. I don't really tilt as I used to, and not just in poker, but in everyday things. Very good words!
Working out regularly is great for the brain🧠! It helps the neurons get a better coating of myelitis witch is a good thing 💪. I work out 5 days/week 45 min to 1 hour each time. From a poker perspective, in a work out day I work out 1 hour out of 24 (23:1 or 4,17%) to get so much benefit it is for sure EV+! TY for another great video!
Great video. I've been struggling with the fact that I made de correct decisions, but the results don't come. Then when the tournament ends I realize that I don't even know the type of guy who eliminates me. I wasn't focused on the table. What actions the players were doing. Yeah, I was distracted the whole time. This is the video I needed.
Hands down one of the best videos I've seen that touches on everything outside of Poker. This really rose my awareness of what I need to fix, thanks for that.
Love your honesty about taking your course in relation to the effort/time it takes to master it.I struggle with that topic, having a wife, a lovely daughter and a business. For now the only dopamine urge have is rolling a spliff every 2 to 3 hours while playing. I know a bad habbit but it works for me. Keeps me focused, fit(when smoking no food), and nice and mellow during downswings and a down to earth on a upswing. Thank you for the no bs content 👏🏾✌🏾
It's such a weird coincidence that you made this video a few days ago. Recently, I just won 1st place in a small Bounty Builder, and yesterday I did another Final table. Last year and the year before, making a Final Table to me, was something rare and almost impossible. These past few weeks I make a Final Table at least once or twice a week. Granted, they are not huge tourneys with 10 000$ on top but still, it's the positive results that count. What I changed is: - the way I spend money and keep money. I follow a very strict range of buyins, that was my main issue. - Also, I don't withdraw money from the account, and keep playing the same buyins. - I sleep better, and try to play in the morning after I woke up, since that's where I am playing my best game. - I changed my way of playing, I take more risk depending on my position, I shove with KQ more often, A8 etc... - My game is more balanced, I bluff and triple barrel a bit more often than before, but I also play tight sometimes - I always play 2 or 3 games at the time, and when I lose I don't dwell on it, I just move to the other tournament. - I try to spend a good and healthy amount of time with my girlfriend, my other projects and video games. - I study pot odds and other theory stuff, and I am not that knowledgeable in these areas but I try to improve it constantly. My BR is now at 500$, it took a lot of work on my game and on myself, I hope it's not just a temporary upswing or what but I strongly believe that I am on the right path. Thanks for the nice videos, they really help.
Really needed this video recently won $1800 online and then lost it all. It hurt my ego but I realize now my mindset and lifestyle wasn’t in the right place to capitalize on it. Today’s the first day that I’m going to change that
as one of those players that needs to get his shit together, id disagree with it when you say "you dont need a coach to tell you to get your shit together" I personally needed to find the right coach to help me figure out how to get my shit together, and I found that right coach and im seeing regular improvements in my day to day life as a result.
so true...you need to have a clear and positive mind to play good poker. if you’re having personal issues and your mind is focused elsewhere, forget about it, don’t even attempt to play because you will lose all your money.
(Excuse me for my bad english) Ben, thank you very much. Seriously it was one of the best poker vidéo i see in my life. You have talking about things that never others profesional poker player talks. Keep doing what you do. Thank you !
That is fucking word by word what I've been telling my family and friends for years and always took negative feedback. Really happy to meet you in the internet. Wish more young people would listen to this video and understand meaning of your simple ideas. That is pure instruction how to be successfull in any area of life. Ps You have to make russian subtitles for guys and girls from russia
Such an awesome reflection!! Your sincerity should help most of the players out there. From where i'm standing your words are pure gold and 100% true. 'Fixing yourself' is the only way to put it. Much respect!!
Thank you, these words are exactly what i needed. I suspected that these many little mental/health obstacles are holding me back from starting to succeed, but not many people on the web are actually talking about it so i decided that maybe these things aren't that important. turned out they are more important than just pure studying! Subscribed!
My dream is to be your student one day. You are a role model and not just about poker because a lot of your content can work for the everyday. Thanks for what you do. You make one of the best poker content today.
Very nice video. It was very important i quess. I running every 2-3 days, almost every day i do some workout, i try to eat simple and healthy food. About meat ... Last 3 mouth i stoped to eat meat, i realize for me it was very enegry consuming food. Now, when i stop eating meat i sleep 2 hours less and i feel good. I use meditation ( vipassana and/or simple yoga mantra ) in morning and sometimes in 5 minutes breaks. It makes my mental health on high level, very important for poker players. Sorry for my bad English ;)
Thank you so much for this advice Benjamin. I'm relatively new to poker and this advice and video is so unique and contains the best information I've seen yet, of course like many others before me I thought if I just learn strategy I can become a winning poker player but this advice has opened my eyes that its so much more then strategy needed, so thank you and many blessings and good fortune to you Sir I will continue to follow your channel and support you when I can.
Excellent video Ben, I love how you constantly emphasize how important it is to eat healthy high quality foods and working out on a regular basis. I would add, everyone should just turn off your notifications on all of your social media apps during your grind and put them all on your last screen if you’re having a problem constantly checking on them. Gl everyone #letscrush
What is the best way to 'study'? Does this mean using a tool to analyse your played hands? What is the best way to figure out afterwards if I made the right call/fold etc? Thanks for the answer in advance!!
The thing about studying is that you can ask several different people about the way to play a hand and get several different answers.Its very subjective
Hi Ben, in order to enjoy studying, I guess one needs to visualize the goal, or enjoy the progress from inside of oneself, essentially. That's where I have a problem, meaning at the root of things. I think I still fear accepting and daring to go for it, to become a professional poker player. It feels like it doesn't fit me. Like I'm still looking for my true purpose in this world. I might need more self-education and development, and therefore time. I used to see poker as something relatively easier than my true goal, whatever that will be (you helped me remind myself that it's not easy). So I have identification issues etc. Struggling. That's what prevents my fueling for action. I had to tell someone. Your videos help me a lot to see clearly into all this. Thank You.
Bencb, thanks a lot for this video! We all know how to get the better version of ourselves, but sometimes procrastination gets the better of us. Thank you so much for remind me I am responsible for the place I am in right now. I am a professional poker player and this video fit me like a glove. The main mistakes my coach is pointing me are distractions: some simple things like opening a certain hand in certain spot which the review show us I have folded. Why? Distraction. Also, I understand being physically fit can help us a LOT in mind focus. From yesterday, I came back to exercise my body. I have learned a lot with you (from this and other videos), and so, let me, with all my humility, teach you something: I know you said this brings a lot of discussion (so true...) but please allow me to say it: Veganism is not a diet. Vegetarianism is. Being vegan is about being anti-speciesism. A vegan follows, therefore, a vegetarian diet. A vegan has to be vegetarian; a vegetarian doesn't have to be a vegan. There's a lot of confusion with these topics. We go to a place, we ask for vegetarian food, the waiter suggests something with eggs. We explain eggs don't grow on tress, and they answer "oh, then you mean vegan food". lol. No, I don't. Vegetarian, like the word says, is about vegetables. What the waiter is referring to is "Lacto vegetarianism". Once again, thanks a lot for your help. All the best to you!
Really enjoy these videos, always give me more insight! At the minute I think I have an ego issue with poker always thinking I'm better than other players at the table when they win against and causes me to tilt..Currently mediating 10mins per day now with exercise 4 times per week! Noticing that the mindfulness is making me improve and I'm currently trying out NoFap to control my dopamine cravings, goal is to do 1 month to see if the benefits are really there. 100% agree that strategy is worth absolutely nothing if mindset isn't in the right place and that's something I'm striving to improve big time! Any other mindset tips send them my way folks!
Wen you started to mention the dopamine craving I realized I was not focusing on your video enough but opening new tabs to browse the internet. That might be my issue as well in general, I tend not to focus 100% on one thing as I like distractions and doing multiple things at the same time. Even my girlfriend sometimes has the feeling that I am not listening to her 100%. Something I need to work on.
This video is so good! you have to watch it 100 times over just really understand what you have to do. Have your life goals in order, your peace of mind, your consistency, your work ethic and ect. Its alot more than that what you think it is. This is a tough game but with the right mind,right work ethic, and alot of mental toughness, You will get farther than just " trying" to make money. If your life is going to be"poker" then make it your purpose or go recreational and stop the idea that your going to make income for a living. Sorry About my rant
When i told myself i wont quit my university after spenting 5 years of my life on gaming which i do not regret,my focus on studying without distractions was limitless.It was my motive and my goal to pass 50 subjects.I could spend 12hours of reading econometry,maths,micro-economy and go to my exams with no sleep.Human is able to do everything with the right motives. 17:36
Very important video! I longer have the feeling that anything isn’t fine if I have a normal day and start playing poker in the evening. This can be the answer! I will start meditation again! thank you for this video
I think that people need to know how they operate first before applying some of this… for example, I play a lot of sit & gos, and my win rate will actually decrease if I’m solely focused on the game… whereas if I have a video playing in the background my WR is better… it’s usually a video I don’t care about but just something to occupy my mind in the dead space times between hands or if I’m not in one
The reason you want to focus is to respond the same way every time to each scenario therefore you execute your strategy, which you have developed to help you win. It is true if you eat and think badly you are more likely to weaken and deviate from your strategy and go all in with 3,4 just cause you once saw Durrr do it.
Hi Bencb, thanks for your video and all your other videos. In this video you talk about the dopamine cravings and fixing them by having a healthy routine. I'm kind of opposing that because let say you stop your routine, what will happen? The dopamine cravings will most likely come back up. That is not a good fix in the long term and acts only as covering or temporarily repressing the dopamine cravings. Cravings are a part of us and they talk something to us if we listen to them. Doing so will more effectively solve the problem by understanding it.
Thanks Ben this has been incredibly inspiring. I was in a very good healthy routine and unfortunately fell out of it because of the Covid situation which meant having to adjust to working from home etc. throwing me out of my normal routine. I have noticed my poker results/performance has suffered since which is obviously no coincidence. I am going to make some positive changes now to move back to being healthier working out and eating better - not just for poker but for being happy and healthy in general. Just re-bought headspace and am looking forward to mediating on a daily basis again.
What do think about listening to music while playing poker. I do listen to music while playing but what are you’re thoughts on music while on the Sunday grind. Also do listen to music while playing.
@@RaiseYourEdge Thank you for replying. You’r one of the only poker professionals that reply to comments love the content I’ve learned a lot from the free content you provided.
so all i need to do is the hardest thing in the universe ,fixing myself, and then one can succeed in poker which is not nearly as important as that first goal anyway. Thx,good tip.
Right. Pokerstars takes an average Rake of 7-8%? Then there are big MTTs where some lucky players win huge and finally you have some pro players like Ben. I think 94% of the players will lose money.
i have in me carrer boxing over 200 matches , i was also in the national team of my country for a long time my . but for 2 years now and for personal reasons im stuck at home on a chair and to the internet and everything go wrong . i play poker , i study but i have poor results . thx for this video its very helpfull
Please make a video about fasting and include more about the dopamine fasting you do, ie the Iceland retreat. That was very interesting stuff. Thanks as always for the great content! Love the channel!
I won 3,150us recently and i spent it all during in a week. I admit I quietly feel that dopamine thing he mentioned... the adrenaline pumping into my veins in the very moment just by flopping trips on a dry board and get called... when actually i know how damaging is that feeling its not something easy to control. The thing is I mean that might change that scenery is... you basically have not play with your cards not expecting to hit a set or got aces dealt but play with the least of showdown possible. I mean even before the flop comes in, most people want to see the flop cos thats where all the fun is, when actually... are you playing for fun or like a profitable pro? that's the reason.
i was depressed for years . and had eating disorder, only eating bad stuf prossed food. i fasted for 5 days on only water. and chains my life. i eat only good food can even not eat prossed food anny more makes me sick. nowe i sport, feel good. my poker game get so much better more focus its amezing
Studying is my dopamine. Working out is my dopamine. Eating healthy is my dopamine. Becoming my best self is my dopamine. Why? Because I simply understand that all of this makes me a better version of myself everyday. With hard work and dedication I can do everything I want. The sensation of doing something I love for a living and being able to make my own decisions is what makes me keep going forward everyday. Now I know that successs is made of A LOT of small actions everyday. Keep moving. Don't ever give up on your dreams wheter is poker or whatever it is!
Hi Ben, thank you for this great content! Incorporating routines is often the best way to stay focused on your goals and keep working hard in order to reach them
Great Video! Can you plz make a Video about fasting and how it can affect the life of a Poker Player in terms of studying and playing and the daily life?
21:34 start enjoying the process and the benefits that poker brings even if you don't have the monetary success. Benefits: calmer, more relaxed, more rational, more objective, change perspective and understnad people, focus on facts, manage your ego.
I literally couldn’t sit still for 5 minutes when i was younger. Through meditation daily, working out and eating healthy i can now sit still for 10minutes without being distracted.
Thank you! Very good and motivating video. And at the right time, when the results are summed up and plans are being made for the year ahead. Everything in your video was necessary and appropriate! Have a great year and all the best in life!
The first thing I tell guitar students is to ignore the saying 'practice makes perfect' because it is untrue, the reality is 'perfect practice makes perfect'
There is no such thing as perfection in anything we strive to do. It's an illusion. Successful quality practice is what creates confidence which breads the skills to become a success in anything you do. The ultimate goal should not be to play poker perfectly. But be the player who played the best on your table. Perfect play doesn't always win. Perceptive confident play usually comes out ahead.
I am small time winning player but all my wins came in drunk. Next time I think play responsible and then I loose. Not sure why. May be I get zoned in when drunk and doesn't get distracted by the world on fire
Love the cool subtle when you talk, what do you use to make them.... You are 100 %right if I am on social media while I'm playing I normally don't do as well as just focusing on just Poker but it is so hard no to want to just check a notification even if I'm 12 tabling
Not being aware is one of the factor but not only that factor. The thing is most player don't understand how to learn and study efficiently that is why they get distracted to fill in the the dopamine craving. No shit if you are thinking anything else other than the game while playing then there is no point to continue that session.
Dopamine cravings, consistent smart work, no phone, distractions, reach a flow state, what would Doyle Brunson say to all that ? ... 30 min talk but he doesn't say anything, a type of Tai Lopez of Poker really all the secrets are in the courses boys and girls, that you need to buy from him, once you buy his courses that's it all secrets are there, you will be a super poker player. Another guru .
And in fact, I say quite the opposite to not buy the course and fix the shit you mentioned. You should def start by watching the full video before making comments or at least pay better attention.
1) i know poker 😎 2) i love it vvvvv much i can't tell in words 3) i know how and when to bluff 4) i know how to trappe anyone 5) i can fold AA also bcoz when everyone is allin then AA will week hand and anyone can get flush straight fullh etc my week points r patience attuide ego 🔥👍😎🔥👍⚠️⚠️⚠️😣😣😩😢😐😕😣😢😩😕😥😥😢😩😕😣😰 i donot know whem to allin bcoz i lose with

Spiritually or whatever and bored and trying to punt off for excitement
Ryan, I don't want to say it but the trouble with the way you play is that Joey is a fucking mush.
Spiritually?? You haven't a spiritual bone In Your body.
@@pt2hays For real, homie. We ain't got a mental bone or psychological bone in our bodies either.
I love the way poker is interconnected with every day life. All said could be appleid to everything we do. Well said Bencb!!!
It can teach us many things!
@@RaiseYourEdge So true! But you have to be very open for that, it´s like reading between the lines. It´s there, but not everyone can see it
The way we do one thing is how we do everything. Great quote
//%(, €… 9
I am always saying this. It has so many aspects of life. Poker is like life itself.
This video is a confirmation of everything I have been studying and with your words, it became even clearer.
Ben, you and your work are extremely valuable to the new generation of poker players (including me) and to humanity! You and your effort to become a better person every day are a huge inspiration for me and my family.
Stay safe and have a nice day
Winning poker ist boring. It's that boring daily grind that matters. I don't feel dopamine at all, since i play stakes i can absolutely afford. Just yesterday a friend of mine i have been coaching on cashgame asked me about tournaments, about HU, spins etc. And he hasn't even mastered cash games. But people want to feel that adrenaline rush.
Im playing poker since i was kid and i failed always and i was ,,crying,, because i thought im unlucky at this game because i knew i had good strategy but , like he said i had poor routines , poor mindset and unhealthy lifestyle which leads to failing in poker .
When i watched this video i felt like he is watching me through my life everything is true and this really helps me and i want to improve in my life and also in poker . I was never thinking like this and i just forgot about myself . This video is really important for me because like i feel that i can be professional poker player but i forgot that i also need to live like professional and not like average person . Thank you Bencb and lets do it .
My routine at the moment is everyday: 1 hour of mental game studying, 1 hour of technical studying and 4 hours of playing. So really making the difference between the mental game and the technical aspect, it gives me some nice variation. Between the two hours studying i will go for a run for example :)
Thanks for all the good content Ben, really helpfull! :)

Thanks again for this video Ben.
Ah! Finally, someone saying it like it is. Love this video Bencb. Absolutely, this applies to almost everything you do in your life to be a success. 1. PASSION. This drives everything, the motivation, the desire. 2. The right PLAN. This gets you to where you want to be. This video touches upon this plan which includes not only researching the best resources but self-inspection as well. 3. PRACTICE. Successful quality practice must occur to gain the confidence needed to be a success. 4. PATIENCE. Never give up. Ebbs and flows are normal process of learning and improving. Success comes sooner or later, but mostly later. And finally. 5. PROFESSIONAL. Accept that success is not to be the best, but to reach a level of professionalism. My five P's to success.
This is spot on!
The truth hurts our egos very often, and blind us so we're ain't able to focus on what we need to.
Gonna use myself as a example.
Been playing over 15 years been winning but mostly losing over the years.
Here's the really bad part. I've never been in doubt of my poker skill set while playing. What was making me a losing player was terrible bankroll management and not being able to play lower limits, because I couldn't focus down there and normally just punted off because it was boring and wasn't focused.
I've known this for years, and still wasn't able to change it because it was boring.
To say it honestly I was to weak to change it!
2 years ago I've finally pulled myself together and began to use bankroll management and not playing to high.
I've cut down my session time and only playing while I was well rested and on top mentally. And started to study 30 min- 2 hours a day.
These few changes have transformed my results in a degree you won't even believe 😊
I normally don't make comments on RUclips content, but the video is so true and so relevant for me as a person and poker player.
I've experienced all of it on my on body and mind!
Thank you for this video.
Have a nice Sunday
where do you study?
@@deadlyvenom9069 BBZ and of course on my own.
@@allansrensen6888 how much have you payed for it? is it worth it?
It's really a hard question to answer. For me yes.
It's really about how you like to study and learn.
Personally I love the Webinar sessions where different things being discussed every time.Spots, 3 bet strategies, icm, you name it. Can also be about tools.
It's all about finding the right place to study and finding something that suits your level.
I also heard only good things about RYE from many many people 😊
Allan Sørensen
Great comment. My best mate also struggles with this exact problem. Cannot get excited about the $1.10 MTT’s so plays under rolled (I was the same when I started)
If you have no bankroll management you will lose and keep losing. Variance is a thing lol
Workout, healthy diet, vitamins, clear brain, goals, and never give a sh*t what other says
Great life advice. Especially the last bit
None of those have anything to do with poker
Rick James
Donk alert.. 😁
@@michaelsimpson3574 Fortunately I learned through experience that the last bit is the most wrong bit. Workout, healthy died, vitamins, clear brain, goals are all excellent advice, but the last bit is very bad advice. We humans are social animals and we feel better when we are accepted by our social circles. If one dont give a fk about people around him, he will become miserable over time.
You don't have to believe me.
@@jkepic25 I don't think that's how he means it. you are going to have people tell you bad things, one of the facts of life. It would be a huge waste of time to try and become "accepted" by them.
So basically You can’t play all loosee goosee eating a sandwich! 😂
So we've heard!

Nice comment. Very original.
Man ... recognizing that I put my focus on the wrong things to succeed in poker really hurts ... you opened my eyes with this. It really is frustrating for now to be that average person, but I can see myself in almost everything you mentioned. Putting too much emphasis on strategy instead of all the other areas in life. Controlling my dopamin cravings and everything ... this hurts for now, but I promise to myself now, to become an extraordinary person. Thank you for that Ben. One day, I might be able to afford your courses and I will do exactly that. Poker is my dream, my future. But I am working hard on the wrong places. Got that now. Great video ! And the first video I was able to listen to for 30 minutes without losing focus and give in to dopamin cravings, thats huge. Usually my attention drops around 5 to 10 minutes. Great Work Ben ! Thank you for that ! I will come back to this video in 6 months when I changed my routines and became a better person and give all the props to you sir.
Özcan Atmaca amen!
Good luck Özcan, it is indeed not easy but we are glad the video helped you and we hope you manage to make that change!
Best side content i've got so far from Ben. I love this kind of the basis which tend to influence the whole things in life and please share your process of being refreshed while you were alone in the nature Ben :)
That's great to hear! Have you checked out Ben's Iceland vlogs? Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/nQtrhjfJaMA/видео.html
who else is playing his Sunday session while listening to this video and getting distracted? 😂
Makes folding bearable...
@@c.n.7130 hahaha 😅
My dopamine cravings are out of control. Hard hitting advice. Getting this under control is going to take quite a bit of effort, but it has to be done as I'm getting nowhere with my present routine. Great advice Ben!
You got this!
Watching this video, while playing poker is such an irony.
me too :)
Same here ahahaha
Lol I'm procrastinating playing to watch it...not sure what is worse.
lool
hahaha me too
This is a brilliant tip. I notice when I play 2 tables, with headset on , with no distraction, I manage to win and get +EV
From a mathematical standpoint the avarege person (with an average stategy) is losing because of rake.
Rake is the reason why there will allways be way more losing players than winning players.
U should leave pokerstars
@@Moneyovertruth... And go where?
Wich bert more take is better
Ben, I just wanna say thank you for this video it really opened my eyes to realizing that I fall for dopamine cravings way more than I admit to sadly. Please keep up the good content!
@Raise Your Edge... I was watching more poker related videos on your channel, one of my friend suggested to watch also some mental strength related videos... I am impressed the way these videos are created and definitely it helps a lot.. I liked the specially the statement "I dont want you to buy my courses", This shows how dedicatedly you are creating these videos ad really want to help the poker community...Thanks a lot for these videos
Thanks man!
Hey Ben, really enjoyed this type of video. Now more than ever dopamine management is crucial. It's very easy to fall into the trap of forgetting good routines you've worked so hard to maintain when you see others around you giving 8-10hrs of their day to Netflix, waking up at midday or later etc. I realise you focus your energy on other areas but I found this video very motivating and would be a loyal listener if you made a weekly/bi-weekly podcast on this type of content. I've moved away from poker, more of a casual player now but still consume RYE content because these principles are widely applicable for achieving success in all walks of life. Thanks for the vid!
You are welcome Leigh, nice that they also help you elsewhere in life!
This is the most important poker-related video I've ever seen. Thanks so much.
Every poker player thinks that one nice score will send them on their way to never ending success but really it's a never ending grind that require rediculous consistency in so many categories Br management, poker fundamentals , mindset, who you take advice or learn strategy with...
True story
Since i started working out last year and studying poker this year. I kinda find my self in spots where i ask my self: Have i lost my focus and just autoplayed my strategy and loose against Aces on a Q high board so do i have to work on myself.
Or is it the lack of experience, that i rather see a bluff and not a monster Hand. Especially when i got 3 bet from the small Blind preflop.
Sometimes people also just flat or limp with aces.
That is one big thing that really bothers me at this point.
Liebe Grüße!❤
I admit I do overeat but I do exercise to stay fit. But after listening to you I'll change my habit and try to be healthy and wealthy in poker fraternity.
We hope it helps you, be sure to let us know how you get on!
Ever since I got over a major illness I have been doing all the non-poker things you mention in this video. After I really felt like I had come a long way in the non-poker regard I decided it was time to try playing poker again. This video is quite encouraging. Thanks man.
Great content! I'm actually in the middle of a dopamine detox where I meditate daily, only go to social media once a day, workout without music or any audio, turn off all devices 1 hour before bed time and fall asleep without music /podcast. I do this once in a while for periods ranging from 7-10 days with great results.
Great video as always, thanks. I would recommend the book "Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World" to people that are interested in "the ability to master distraction"and the "practice of distraction-free productivity at work". Good luck at the tables.
Nice video as always.The thing i knew and i loved from poker, is that it exposes the weakness you have, not only the strategy related, but also your overall mindset. But of course you need to have the privilege of getting your ego out of the way to see that.
You’re good. I mean really, very good.
Law of attraction, mindset and consistency are inherently interlinked.
This is a super intelligent video giving seriously good advice.
Another brilliant video. At the end of 2019 I realized that mindset is the most important thing if you try to get good at poker (or at any other thing basically). I had doubts that I'm not intelligent enough, that I don"t have talent for this game etc but then I realized it's all bullshit and that it's just my mindset that holds me back and locks my potential. I started to take poker seriously, set my goals, my routines, started to workout 5-7 days a week, started to eat healthy, to work on time management etc and just relized I can achieve anything I want with right mindset, dedication and willpower and that it's bullshit to think I lack talent etc. Just taking it one day at a time and getting a job done. Of course there are rough times, there still are some doubts etc but it's easier to overcome with right goals, progress tracking and positive mindset. I believe that man can do anything he wants with right amount of work (and luck ofc :-D) . Everything else are just excuses...I mean hard work beats talent in long run.
i cannot look at him or hear his voice at all...he probrably says very intresting things...and its not his fault but fuck me i cannot watch more than 2 minutes lol!!!
and you still play NL10 didn't you?
for 1 month i start: interminttent fasting, i changes my diet to less meat, soda&fastfood i dont eat for few years, i drink alot of water, i start exercises at home(when im not making exercises i run few milles), for lower dopamin craivings i did this: for more then 2 years i dont watch tv,i dont watch news,i dont have installed on my phone apps like:fb,instagram,etc ,so basicaly i made my phone a PHONE (just speak& mails) thats all, will see in few months the results , yuhuuuu im so excited, thanks BEN

Dopamine cravings, the disease of the quarentine 50-100m2 home! Thank you very much Ben to bring to us this "hidden issue". You are the best! :)
21:40 you mention mental benefits. I couldn't agree more; after having played poker for about 1.5 years now. I don't really tilt as I used to, and not just in poker, but in everyday things. Very good words!
Working out regularly is great for the brain🧠! It helps the neurons get a better coating of myelitis witch is a good thing 💪. I work out 5 days/week 45 min to 1 hour each time. From a poker perspective, in a work out day I work out 1 hour out of 24 (23:1 or 4,17%) to get so much benefit it is for sure EV+! TY for another great video!
Great video. I've been struggling with the fact that I made de correct decisions, but the results don't come. Then when the tournament ends I realize that I don't even know the type of guy who eliminates me. I wasn't focused on the table. What actions the players were doing. Yeah, I was distracted the whole time. This is the video I needed.
Awesome Daneel, you've got this!
Hands down one of the best videos I've seen that touches on everything outside of Poker.
This really rose my awareness of what I need to fix, thanks for that.
I dont take Poker serious anymore, just playing for fun time to time but man... those life advices keep me watching your videos
Love your honesty about taking your course in relation to the effort/time it takes to master it.I struggle with that topic, having a wife, a lovely daughter and a business.
For now the only dopamine urge have is rolling a spliff every 2 to 3 hours while playing. I know a bad habbit but it works for me. Keeps me focused, fit(when smoking no food), and nice and mellow during downswings and a down to earth on a upswing.
Thank you for the no bs content 👏🏾✌🏾
It's such a weird coincidence that you made this video a few days ago. Recently, I just won 1st place in a small Bounty Builder, and yesterday I did another Final table. Last year and the year before, making a Final Table to me, was something rare and almost impossible. These past few weeks I make a Final Table at least once or twice a week. Granted, they are not huge tourneys with 10 000$ on top but still, it's the positive results that count. What I changed is:
- the way I spend money and keep money. I follow a very strict range of buyins, that was my main issue.
- Also, I don't withdraw money from the account, and keep playing the same buyins.
- I sleep better, and try to play in the morning after I woke up, since that's where I am playing my best game.
- I changed my way of playing, I take more risk depending on my position, I shove with KQ more often, A8 etc...
- My game is more balanced, I bluff and triple barrel a bit more often than before, but I also play tight sometimes
- I always play 2 or 3 games at the time, and when I lose I don't dwell on it, I just move to the other tournament.
- I try to spend a good and healthy amount of time with my girlfriend, my other projects and video games.
- I study pot odds and other theory stuff, and I am not that knowledgeable in these areas but I try to improve it constantly.
My BR is now at 500$, it took a lot of work on my game and on myself, I hope it's not just a temporary upswing or what but I strongly believe that I am on the right path. Thanks for the nice videos, they really help.
Thank you for all! I'm keep learning with all your videos.
See you on the top!
Really needed this video recently won $1800 online and then lost it all. It hurt my ego but I realize now my mindset and lifestyle wasn’t in the right place to capitalize on it. Today’s the first day that I’m going to change that
as one of those players that needs to get his shit together, id disagree with it when you say "you dont need a coach to tell you to get your shit together" I personally needed to find the right coach to help me figure out how to get my shit together, and I found that right coach and im seeing regular improvements in my day to day life as a result.
so true...you need to have a clear and positive mind to play good poker. if you’re having personal issues and your mind is focused elsewhere, forget about it, don’t even attempt to play because you will lose all your money.
(Excuse me for my bad english)
Ben, thank you very much. Seriously it was one of the best poker vidéo i see in my life. You have talking about things that never others profesional poker player talks. Keep doing what you do. Thank you !
That is fucking word by word what I've been telling my family and friends for years and always took negative feedback. Really happy to meet you in the internet. Wish more young people would listen to this video and understand meaning of your simple ideas. That is pure instruction how to be successfull in any area of life.
Ps You have to make russian subtitles for guys and girls from russia
Thanks man!
Such an awesome reflection!! Your sincerity should help most of the players out there. From where i'm standing your words are pure gold and 100% true. 'Fixing yourself' is the only way to put it.
Much respect!!
Thank you, these words are exactly what i needed. I suspected that these many little mental/health obstacles are holding me back from starting to succeed, but not many people on the web are actually talking about it so i decided that maybe these things aren't that important. turned out they are more important than just pure studying! Subscribed!
My dream is to be your student one day. You are a role model and not just about poker because a lot of your content can work for the everyday. Thanks for what you do. You make one of the best poker content today.
Very nice video. It was very important i quess.
I running every 2-3 days, almost every day i do some workout, i try to eat simple and healthy food. About meat ... Last 3 mouth i stoped to eat meat, i realize for me it was very enegry consuming food. Now, when i stop eating meat i sleep 2 hours less and i feel good. I use meditation ( vipassana and/or simple yoga mantra ) in morning and sometimes in 5 minutes breaks. It makes my mental health on high level, very important for poker players. Sorry for my bad English ;)
"you simply need to get your sh*t together" -Benjamin Rolle
3:31 love it
Exactly! Haha!
Thank you so much for this advice Benjamin. I'm relatively new to poker and this advice and video is so unique and contains the best information I've seen yet, of course like many others before me I thought if I just learn strategy I can become a winning poker player but this advice has opened my eyes that its so much more then strategy needed, so thank you and many blessings and good fortune to you Sir I will continue to follow your channel and support you when I can.
Man, I can't put a price tag on this video, you're da man Ben! Thank you, you're the Marcus Aurelius of poker!
Erm, you can: $0.00
Excellent video Ben, I love how you constantly emphasize how important it is to eat healthy high quality foods and working out on a regular basis. I would add, everyone should just turn off your notifications on all of your social media apps during your grind and put them all on your last screen if you’re having a problem constantly checking on them. Gl everyone #letscrush
What is the best way to 'study'? Does this mean using a tool to analyse your played hands?
What is the best way to figure out afterwards if I made the right call/fold etc?
Thanks for the answer in advance!!
The thing about studying is that you can ask several different people about the way to play a hand and get several different answers.Its very subjective
Bencb is the kind of guy to master 234 pre flop charts at a party.
Its quite simple folks. All you have to do to bolster your roll and bank account is pay 1200 dollars for this mans online course.
That's why the stimulus checks were $1200?
Hi Ben, in order to enjoy studying, I guess one needs to visualize the goal, or enjoy the progress from inside of oneself, essentially. That's where I have a problem, meaning at the root of things. I think I still fear accepting and daring to go for it, to become a professional poker player. It feels like it doesn't fit me. Like I'm still looking for my true purpose in this world. I might need more self-education and development, and therefore time. I used to see poker as something relatively easier than my true goal, whatever that will be (you helped me remind myself that it's not easy). So I have identification issues etc. Struggling. That's what prevents my fueling for action. I had to tell someone. Your videos help me a lot to see clearly into all this. Thank You.
Bencb, thanks a lot for this video! We all know how to get the better version of ourselves, but sometimes procrastination gets the better of us. Thank you so much for remind me I am responsible for the place I am in right now. I am a professional poker player and this video fit me like a glove. The main mistakes my coach is pointing me are distractions: some simple things like opening a certain hand in certain spot which the review show us I have folded. Why? Distraction. Also, I understand being physically fit can help us a LOT in mind focus. From yesterday, I came back to exercise my body.
I have learned a lot with you (from this and other videos), and so, let me, with all my humility, teach you something: I know you said this brings a lot of discussion (so true...) but please allow me to say it: Veganism is not a diet. Vegetarianism is. Being vegan is about being anti-speciesism. A vegan follows, therefore, a vegetarian diet. A vegan has to be vegetarian; a vegetarian doesn't have to be a vegan. There's a lot of confusion with these topics. We go to a place, we ask for vegetarian food, the waiter suggests something with eggs. We explain eggs don't grow on tress, and they answer "oh, then you mean vegan food". lol. No, I don't. Vegetarian, like the word says, is about vegetables. What the waiter is referring to is "Lacto vegetarianism".
Once again, thanks a lot for your help. All the best to you!
Really enjoy these videos, always give me more insight! At the minute I think I have an ego issue with poker always thinking I'm better than other players at the table when they win against and causes me to tilt..Currently mediating 10mins per day now with exercise 4 times per week! Noticing that the mindfulness is making me improve and I'm currently trying out NoFap to control my dopamine cravings, goal is to do 1 month to see if the benefits are really there. 100% agree that strategy is worth absolutely nothing if mindset isn't in the right place and that's something I'm striving to improve big time! Any other mindset tips send them my way folks!
Wen you started to mention the dopamine craving I realized I was not focusing on your video enough but opening new tabs to browse the internet. That might be my issue as well in general, I tend not to focus 100% on one thing as I like distractions and doing multiple things at the same time. Even my girlfriend sometimes has the feeling that I am not listening to her 100%. Something I need to work on.
This video is so good! you have to watch it 100 times over just really understand what you have to do. Have your life goals in order, your peace of mind, your consistency, your work ethic and ect. Its alot more than that what you think it is.
This is a tough game but with the right mind,right work ethic, and alot of mental toughness, You will get farther than just " trying" to make money. If your life is going to be"poker" then make it your purpose or go recreational and stop the idea that your going to make income for a living. Sorry About my rant
When i told myself i wont quit my university after spenting 5 years of my life on gaming which i do not regret,my focus on studying without distractions was limitless.It was my motive and my goal to pass 50 subjects.I could spend 12hours of reading econometry,maths,micro-economy and go to my exams with no sleep.Human is able to do everything with the right motives. 17:36
Very important video! I longer have the feeling that anything isn’t fine if I have a normal day and start playing poker in the evening. This can be the answer! I will start meditation again! thank you for this video
I think that people need to know how they operate first before applying some of this… for example, I play a lot of sit & gos, and my win rate will actually decrease if I’m solely focused on the game… whereas if I have a video playing in the background my WR is better… it’s usually a video I don’t care about but just something to occupy my mind in the dead space times between hands or if I’m not in one
Imo most informations aren't very new, but hearing it more often keeps motivation up
It's the same as the example Ben always gives, everyone knows that they should eat healthy and exercise.. yet many don't
The reason you want to focus is to respond the same way every time to each scenario therefore you execute your strategy, which you have developed to help you win. It is true if you eat and think badly you are more likely to weaken and deviate from your strategy and go all in with 3,4 just cause you once saw Durrr do it.
Spot on, you're creeping in as my new favorite player. You just hit all of the marks
Hi Bencb, thanks for your video and all your other videos.
In this video you talk about the dopamine cravings and fixing them by having a healthy routine. I'm kind of opposing that because let say you stop your routine, what will happen? The dopamine cravings will most likely come back up. That is not a good fix in the long term and acts only as covering or temporarily repressing the dopamine cravings. Cravings are a part of us and they talk something to us if we listen to them. Doing so will more effectively solve the problem by understanding it.
Thanks Ben this has been incredibly inspiring. I was in a very good healthy routine and unfortunately fell out of it because of the Covid situation which meant having to adjust to working from home etc. throwing me out of my normal routine. I have noticed my poker results/performance has suffered since which is obviously no coincidence. I am going to make some positive changes now to move back to being healthier working out and eating better - not just for poker but for being happy and healthy in general. Just re-bought headspace and am looking forward to mediating on a daily basis again.
What do think about listening to music while playing poker. I do listen to music while playing but what are you’re thoughts on music while on the Sunday grind. Also do listen to music while playing.
up to you if you can focus better, some like it, some dont
@@RaiseYourEdge Thank you for replying. You’r one of the only poker professionals that reply to comments love the content I’ve learned a lot from the free content you provided.
@@tpyro1396 Its probably some other guy hired on his team most of the time replying ,maybe sometimes Ben himself but i could be wrong
so all i need to do is the hardest thing in the universe ,fixing myself, and then one can succeed in poker which is not nearly as important as that first goal anyway. Thx,good tip.
Why can't an average person win? Rake. Without rake the average player would break even #lessrakeisbetter
Right. Pokerstars takes an average Rake of 7-8%? Then there are big MTTs where some lucky players win huge and finally you have some pro players like Ben. I think 94% of the players will lose money.
I'm in the Catch-22 tho, where i need to win money at poker to be able to create a better mental situation that will allow me to win money at poker!!
Hi Ben, we need to break pattern behaviour, this is hard to do, when we accomplish then we go to next level of mind thinking.
Best, Tin
i have in me carrer boxing over 200 matches , i was also in the national team of my country
for a long time my
.
but for 2 years now and for personal reasons im stuck at home on a chair and to
the internet and everything go wrong . i play poker , i study but i have poor results . thx for this video its very helpfull
Please make a video about fasting and include more about the dopamine fasting you do, ie the Iceland retreat. That was very interesting stuff. Thanks as always for the great content! Love the channel!
I won 3,150us recently and i spent it all during in a week. I admit I quietly feel that dopamine thing he mentioned... the adrenaline pumping into my veins in the very moment just by flopping trips on a dry board and get called... when actually i know how damaging is that feeling its not something easy to control. The thing is I mean that might change that scenery is... you basically have not play with your cards not expecting to hit a set or got aces dealt but play with the least of showdown possible. I mean even before the flop comes in, most people want to see the flop cos thats where all the fun is, when actually... are you playing for fun or like a profitable pro? that's the reason.
i was depressed for years .
and had eating disorder, only eating bad stuf prossed food. i fasted for 5 days on only water.
and chains my life.
i eat only good food can even not eat prossed food anny more makes me sick. nowe i sport, feel good.
my poker game get so much better more focus its amezing
Benc im waiting your answere in couple of your video:
Do u believe in No Fap?
Look at this video again and answer your question.
Thank you now I put my poker lobby in half my screen, instead of a little window. I can read everyone's stats easily now. I'm making better decisions.
Studying is my dopamine. Working out is my dopamine. Eating healthy is my dopamine. Becoming my best self is my dopamine. Why? Because I simply understand that all of this makes me a better version of myself everyday. With hard work and dedication I can do everything I want. The sensation of doing something I love for a living and being able to make my own decisions is what makes me keep going forward everyday. Now I know that successs is made of A LOT of small actions everyday. Keep moving. Don't ever give up on your dreams wheter is poker or whatever it is!
I would appreciate if you would do a video about "dopamine craving". However, i really enjoyed that video, thanks!
Hi Ben, thank you for this great content! Incorporating routines is often the best way to stay focused on your goals and keep working hard in order to reach them
Great Video!
Can you plz make a Video about fasting and how it can affect the life of a Poker Player in terms of studying and playing and the daily life?
ruclips.net/video/n49xc6HzEcg/видео.html
Yes it is tempting to do other things while playing because folding Q 3 doesn't take much concentration.

I literally couldn’t sit still for 5 minutes when i was younger. Through meditation daily, working out and eating healthy i can now sit still for 10minutes without being distracted.

‘You simply need to get your shit together’ lol
This is No 1 advice 😁

The first thing I tell guitar students is to ignore the saying 'practice makes perfect' because it is untrue, the reality is 'perfect practice makes perfect'
what a beautiful saying!
There is no such thing as perfection in anything we strive to do. It's an illusion. Successful quality practice is what creates confidence which breads the skills to become a success in anything you do. The ultimate goal should not be to play poker perfectly. But be the player who played the best on your table. Perfect play doesn't always win. Perceptive confident play usually comes out ahead.
I am small time winning player but all my wins came in drunk. Next time I think play responsible and then I loose. Not sure why. May be I get zoned in when drunk and doesn't get distracted by the world on fire
Love the cool subtle when you talk, what do you use to make them.... You are 100 %right if I am on social media while I'm playing I normally don't do as well as just focusing on just Poker but it is so hard no to want to just check a notification even if I'm 12 tabling
Not being aware is one of the factor but not only that factor. The thing is most player don't understand how to learn and study efficiently that is why they get distracted to fill in the the dopamine craving. No shit if you are thinking anything else other than the game while playing then there is no point to continue that session.
Always amazes me how beautifully Europeans can master English... more articulate than 75% of my fellow citizens here.
Dopamine cravings, consistent smart work, no phone, distractions, reach a flow state, what would Doyle Brunson say to all that ? ... 30 min talk but he doesn't say anything, a type of Tai Lopez of Poker really all the secrets are in the courses boys and girls, that you need to buy from him, once you buy his courses that's it all secrets are there, you will be a super poker player. Another guru .
And in fact, I say quite the opposite to not buy the course and fix the shit you mentioned.
You should def start by watching the full video before making comments or at least pay better attention.
