At the risk of derailing the thread, this isn't exactly accurate. There's lots of reasons why people might want to "cash out" and not grind for a living. Having dependents (wife/kids) can seriously knock people's risk tolerances. I certainly wouldn't want my kids on the street because I hit a downswing, and what would the government think if they knew I'd "gambled the house away"?
stable income isn't anything to sniff at. you'd happily take your EV every month instead of the variance results.
also carrot corner isn't complete dingus. he offers some good concepts in videos, they just aren't solver-backed. grinders manual is outdated for sure, and i can't see how I'd get 2k value from the level 3 course (if its called that), but it's not like his stuff can't leave weak players better-informed. just have to avoid the buzzword.
reckon pete could rakeback grind 50nl no problem if he wanted - carrot corner clearly higher ev
