How is it that this guy can be so utterly clueless on every single subject he discusses and yet he still goes around thinking he is the world's biggest genius? The exact opposite of what Nomad says is true.
People who play part time or recreationally and who have other jobs/income can replenish their bankroll easily through other means. They can also use their other income to fund their living expenses if they aren't making profit from poker for a stretch. This is why they can get away with being less than 100% strict with bankroll management.
People who are playing full time and who are reliant on poker as their sole or primary source of income need to be damn sure that they have their bankroll management dialled in perfectly as they have no safety net or alternative means to replenish their bankroll or fund their living expenses.
Yeah, this. Its incredibly important to have your bankroll in check when you play fulltime or for primary source of income, because you cant play if you dont have money. Being out of action is absolutely critical, because you are now unable to make more money.
Besides that being overrolled for the games you play is also vastly underrated imo. In my experience pretty much every mental hurdle or mental leak can be located back to not being rolled properly/and or financial stress. The most effective recipe by far for maintaining a high winrate is to be overrolled for the games you play at a regular basis. Not only to be handling downswings more easy, but to be at ease when you play and be able to focus on reading the dynamics of the game=focusing on making +EV decisions rather than how will i be able to pay bills for the next month if i lose this big pot.
But that isnt important to Nomad of course, because is such a genius that he doesent go on downswings at all: he just stops playing whenever he loses a full buyin going back to his room to watch youtube multiple days in a row.
