I'm not going to derail the thread.
I'm on a ketogenic diet. I don't eat fibre.
I track my micro nutrients on cronometer.
Your advice was bad, and you claimed his brain was operating at 50%. Bizarre.
Peace out.

Eat more meat bro. Cut out the rice. Eat 3 big macs a day and 3 litres of Pepsi max. A litre of monster energy is good for vitamins. Get the non sugar ones.

I binked 250k... 40% of it was myself...

Aiming to play 25k highrollers in 6 months.

subbed. GL OP, but i don't think you need it.

How many hands/day is 100 - 110 MTTs?

I don't use a hud. i've gotten 10k in a day before from 150-200 mtts

GL OP, very impressive.
Just a question from a beginner in MTTs.
Any recommendation on how to gain knowledge?
Ofc i have checked out a lot of content which is out there and bought From The Ground UP from Run It Once to start with.
You mentioned TK, RYE but any particular vids or coaches to check out?
Hope you don't mind me asking.

Join raise your edge discord/other discords on twitch and chat with people who are better and worse, I'd consume all of upswing/raise your edge... I'd ask alot of questions... Like i ask 50-200 questions/day currently. I also recommend using a piosolver like gtowizard/odin....

Thanks and will make sure to do so.
GL today.

Wow amazing results man!
I am a PLO player and recently been thinking about switching to tournaments and thought I would find a thread of somebody starting their journey, but u are absolute crushing it!!

Very motivating to see that! I have heard it for long time that all the big money is in tournaments and it certainly seems to be the case seeing cash games even at midstakes are just slowly drying up, at least in PLO.

How would you say the tournament climate has changed if at all during ur climb? Do you notice fields getting considerably tougher or staying mostly at same lvl? Do you think it is worth getting into tournaments?

Good questions.

1. I regularly say if i could start over in poker i'd learn cash/plo... The 14 hour tourney grind is brutal+variance.

2. I think tourneys are like cash in the sense nothing is drying up if you study enough and grind hard enough.... I'm running 50-100 sims/week + 20-50 push fold spots/week.. i learn new things weekly.

3. I think i'll play tourneys forever as part time income. Fields aren't really getting massively tougher... b/c once you get really good at poker you bink 500k-1m and get lazy and barely grind.... or you move up to playing 25ks/50ks.... feel free to ask more questions

4. I think if you want to study alot and work hard all options are viable....
