Most successful players have got there without doing these drills. A few even pride themselves on not knowing the math(s) !
Again, you're amazing at misquoting people.
He doesn't say he does 3-4 hours everyday, he says people like tiger woods do and is merely an analogy to suggest people need to practice/work at poker more. And unless you are braindead you would realise that doing just 3-4 hours of these drills everyday would barely benefit you as a player if you were also not spending significant time playing as well (so at least X amount of time spent practising is infact time spent playing).
He also doesn't say "i do exactly this", he actually says "Here are some that I've done" which means he has just given some (and not definitive) examples.
It doesn't matter who tells you this and how many times it is repeated in the thread, you either just fail to grasp it or actively choose not too and nit pick on the smallest and most irrelevant details. I think this thread has become a total shocker if i'm honest, and is a great example of why few people make helpful threads on 2+2.
For many players what is an extremely interesting and informative post has become buried beneath your negativity and subjectivity (which is still in question).
This thread really needs a total clear up. Mods, if i may make a suggestion? Could we delete the last 30 odd posts in this thread and make bullet points of cwoc's complaints about the op? then allow homey to answer and let the thread progress without further interruption from cwoc, myself and any others who are currently arguing about the specifics. I don't like having to post constant rebuttals in a thread, but i feel pretty strongly that while it is good to allow people to question anyone's credentials/posts it is also extremely detrimental to the majority to allow it to continue in the way it is currently progressing with Cwocs posts.
It is in the interest of 2+2 and the majority of it's users that threads like this aren't derailed/trolled/nit picked in this way. And i say this from the perspective of someone not associated with Homey in anyway and who doesn't actual benefit from his post (since i knew this already), I am only thinking of other players.
