The decisions are obv the ones you make ingame.
The five-second rule is your timebank ingame, you are pressured by making fast good decisions all the time.
Playing in autopilot mode or become a decision maker aka focus on every spot/hand/street is necessary to achive a great wirate.
And finally the garbage is compared to every wrong decision we make ingame, we wouldn´t do in theory or in a review.
And the amount of mistakes/garbage we make compared to the pool reflects in our winrate. It decides which type of player we are, a crusher, a mediocre reg, break even or maybe slightly loosing regardless of your real ability.
Cool insights
Never forget what is your job as a professional poker player. It's very sad how a lot of players focus more on the results rather than the decisional process.
How would you define a barman's job? His job is to make good drinks, not to show a profit. This is just a consequence of him doing well his job.
In the same way, profit is a consequence of you doing well your job, which is making good decisions. In the instant you press bet/call/raise/check/fold your job is done and you really shouldn't care about anything else.
The only difference is that the barman is always getting paid when he serves a drink, while you have to deal with probabilities. But both of you will go broke in the long run by not doing well your jobs (as an example by making ****y drinks / taking poor decisions).
