Are you using display ports for the big screen? HDMI? (I thought HDMI didnt work well for large monitors except for watching netflix)

Im behind on the monitor connecting tech, im using DVI for big screens and VGA for small ones.

I bought my screens in 2014 I think, and I never bothered with anything but dinosaur connectors.

I'll be 80 and telling my grandkids that they don't make connectors like they used to.

From my experience display port and hdmi both works w 4k screens i usually prefer dp bc in the past hdmi had problems but i think the newer hdmi parts there is no difference anymore.

I havent even seen a vga port in years

What's the tldr with cold showers?
I know saunas are supposed to be incredibly beneficial putting your body into some temp shock. Same logic with cold showers?


Also nice month. Bitb is killing it

Yeh also congrats on being an uncle. Being uncle is the best tbh. Get all the fun and you become the favourite. And when they're being annoying or little shits you can just give them back to their parents.

If you want 60hz at 4k you need HDMI 2.0 cable
with HDMI 1.4 you can get only 30hz at 4k
and if it is an older HDMI cable you can`t even get 4k

Cheers gents. Don't think I'll ever mix it at 5k again tbh, I guess never say never but it would need to be an unreal spot, and I think I'll always prefer an investment property to the difference in roll required to play 2k and 5k.

Thank you brother - obviously in no small part due to my interaction with the students and other coaches that I was able to keep on a relatively even keel through the whole swing and come back stronger.

Thanks dude - I took the first 6 or so days off to hang with my missus after working 6 days/week out there, then took it pretty easy first week or so I was back, then yeah the baby was a distraction. Plus I put in my first coaching hours of the year in Feb. IDK though, these are obviously excuses, I've mostly just been playing 1 longer session per day and it's a fairly weak effort. I have only 17 clear days this month due to aforementioned trips, if I fail to play 15k hands I'll be sending $10 to epiph, and to 4 bitb students as a penance

Yah I'm using 2x HDMI ports, getting 60hz on the big boi and that's fine for me. Honestly the wakeup time is worst property of this monitor (this monitor though I only paid 389gbp, I guess corona has jacked up the price since!?), takes like 4-5s which is kinda lame, but it was by far cheapest option with the specs I wanted.

Haha thanks man! Uncle is great fun - was actually through visiting tonight and had a long cuddle with the wee man, both parents were clearly asleep on their feet bless I cooked them my sick veggie hotpot and it went down well though, so all good.

Thanks very much man -we didn't get the chance to chat much at Stevie's, but I'm sure our paths will cross again soon!

Pretty sure the cable I'm using came in the box so I guess it's a new one.

==========================

Just read this post that G made in our coaching thread and felt compelled to share... we're still looking for probably 2 more guys to join our 200nl+ elite group to work with Makeboifin and FourSixFour this year. Don't take my word for how elite these two guys are - check the 2k-10k lobby yourself next time you log into stars and see just how few guys are willing to play them. Marcus (makeboifin, +250k this YEAR for those too lazy to open the link ) is obviously our newest coach, after HE asked US to sit in on the group for a while with a view to coaching, we told him plainly that we can't really pay him an amount comparable to his playing hourly. He then commented on hands FOR FREE for several months, before coming on board as a coach. Clearly, this is not just a money move - this is a guy who genuinely loves poker, who lives it and breathes it and just enjoys talking hands other enthusiastic guys. You (or someone you know) has the chance to run hands past this guy on a daily basis and soak up the unreal knowledge bombs he drops on about every hand. Coming up through the ranks I was in 3 CFP deals myself - I genuinely believe it's the best way to make substantial progress up the stakes, plus you get to be part of a super active group of guys who have the same drive you do. Genuinely an amazing opportunity for the right person, it's that person is you visit the site (bitbcash.com) and send us an application.

Off to Vienna tomorrow, psyched!

Also nice month. Bitb is killing it
Missed this question re: cold showers, can't remember exactly what prompted me to get into it, I just do it now cause I feel amazing afterwards. Just turning the shower as cold as it goes (after normal shower) and breathing strongly and smoothly for 2 or so minutes under there, while following a little sequence of movements I've somehow decided on. Lifts my mood I'd say an average of 2.2/10 and makes me feel super awake/ready for the day. Good morning routine counts for a whole bunch imo, worth putting some effort into establishing

Why do you think someone should choose your cfp over others? If you were to look through ranks, obv choice would be MMA, or maybe jasamgale. But than again I saw a part of MMA course, and also some bitb videos, I was more impressed by your stuff(small sample), but than again, heard that his private cfp is way better. So basically q is how to choose best option? Also congrats on nice results

A great way to get into cold showers is to move houses and pay the deposit before the land lord tells you oh btw your room doesnt have hot water!

Bc you have ishter to teach youhow to run good. Even mma cannot teach you that. So fairly easy choice imo

Yep. Yours must be a new one.
If someone buys a new monitor which comes with lets say DP cable in the box, but he wants to use HDMI and decides to use the HDMI cable he used with his old monitor - thats where might be a problem, because that cable is most probably an older version. Thats why I wanted to clarify it

That coaching deal looks sweet - I am really surprised there are still vacant places.
All the best

A few (biased) reasons why I think ours is better:

1) Smaller group, much better community, learnt a lot from bitB tournament on how to organise and make it fun to be in the group
2) More reasonable contract terms, some CFPs using super unethical chop methods, others with much much longer contracts
3) More transparency on coaches results
4) Almost all my daily study done within the group and streamed etc
5) Better beanies/ hoodies
6) MMA runs for the hills when makeboifin comes for the lobby
