its really a sad vlog, you can tell he has 5-10 built up so much in his mind, and hes so scared, everything he talks about his fear, fear, fear. The long rant about being scared, when you shot take a game, i think its super common to be taken back by the bigger stakes a little, thats totally normal for like everyone, its been the case for me everytime ive ever played a higher stake than i had previously been playing, but to just deny it as if its some measure of being tough is so weird espeically when everything youre talking about is related to being scared. You just have to accept it and deal with it rather than act like it doesnt exist. Of course its scary playing for effectively 5x the normal stakes youve played your whole life, you have to deal with it rather than let it rule you. Even his shirt is about fear, all his talking before hand, its everything he was thinking about. Then the defeat after the fact in his voice. Its really depressing watching it again really. Then the classic after the fact talking **** about all the players who just beat him when he went for his dream, they either have Asperger's, which is the classic insult for weak players to blame better players, then they dont understand his great play, if they almost folded, "how is couldve it been a bad bluff?" some things he will just never know i guess. Its just all very sad and its not hard to see why he dropped ALLLL the way back to 1-2 afterwards, when he frankly had success at 2-5 until this shot at least in operation uptick, he shouldve just stayed at 2-5. But instead afterwards he goes on his trip across america and i imagine blows all his winnings from operation uptick, i know he lost on the trip, plus expenses i think that prob accounted for all of it, and hes back at square one. Now do i think he could win at 2-5 longterm? No, but he was having success, he couldve just kept at it, and at least given poker a real shot, instead he gets punched and cowered just like every other time hes ever taken a shot in his vlog, it always ends the same. "idk why i dont play 2-5 more really" well, because you dont have money and suck at poker, "i dont play 2-5 because i like the ability to play at different places" oh well why dont you just play 2-5 at the 2-5 places then play 1-2 at the 1-2 places? Its just always the same story, which makes it fun to be fair.

Moral of the story: Some people get beat up and they pick themselves up and fight, some people blame the world and crawl back into their holes
