i guess some people are just born to be below average poker players like me. i am good at trading though and consistently profit, but it took me a while and a decent series of losses before i pulled through. overall i would choose being good at trading over being good at poker if i had the choice anyways.

reading people's analyses of hands here, talking about "not liking the middling size of this bet on the flop" is downright intimidating to me. i like brad owen's videos and can see myself thinking and playing like him after some more studying, although he's not a top tier professional and makes mistakes in each videos usually. also hes a bit tilty sometimes. hes still a winning player overall in 2/5 and 5/10 so i find him a respectable source for learning poker.

Do not learn from Brad Owen his situation is entirely different to yours. Since he is somewhat a celebrity in the poker world his opponents will somewhat overcall to get in pots with with so he plays a very straightforward style which might not be the best for you depending on your game.
