I don't agree with this line. It's directly related to lacking discipline afaic (aka laziness), which is probably directly related to lacking a good role model growing up.

My dad has worked from home for many years, and consistently put in >40h/w and consistently made responsible decisions. I took a similar career path and when I was faced with struggles of self-discipline and responsible decision-making, I thought if he can do it, I can too. It's a lot harder to trick yourself by making excuses for your own laziness and bad decision-making when you see what actual hard work / responsible decision-making looks like over many years.

6b clearly didn't have a role model like this so instead he watches silly motivational youtube videos and does whatever you'd call it itt. It doesn't really matter in the end because if he fails, he wins, as poker is not a great career path anyway. In theory he could treat poker like a temporary job until it dries up and he transitions into something better, but it doesn't look like he has to skills to do that.

editundo - I have logged an absolute shitload of hours as a pro grinder (more than I care to admit). I think 6bet me is very lazy. But my point was being afraid to play during the tough times is real. People that have not logged a ton of hours and actually been through the wringer do not understand this. I was just pointing out that I have seen it a lot of times - and quite a few people simply do not have the fortitude to get in there and work hard during those times. And as I stated in my prior poast 6bet me has only had a slight glimpse of what running bad is like and he is scared shitless to play. Another among the countless reasons why he has about zero percent chance of ackshually being a long term pro

@ Mr. Spyutastic thank you for correcting my quote I think I might have an extra bag o dix u can snack on.

Don't worry I got him for you!

Agree on all of the above. I think I accidentally took that line I quoted out of context.

My point is if you look at 6b's overall performance, I think his main problem is lack of discipline (afaik he never once put in even 40 hr/week at poker), and his excuses are clouding his ability to recognize that. If he can't get his act together, he should just quit, and if he can, then he should still plan to transition out into a better career (almost anything).

Good looking out my man. I was just about to run out!

A lot of people just don't have the makeup to grind it out like that. Based on his results, if he played NL100 and only NL100 he could probably grind out $20-30/hour.

If you told him that his results didn't matter and you would give him $25 for every hour he played then he would probably easily play 30+ hours a week. But once you're playing for real and that (theoretical) win-rate of $25/hour involves heaters and brutal downswings it's a different ballgame.

Sam G?

Aha hahahahahha! No he wouldn't. What's 6bet ever done that requires 30+ hours a week of productivity, week-in, week-out? I mean other than being a pizza boy for a bit and failing to complete a degree.

Next post will be about his 47 hour-nap interrupted by a sushi-order and some table-wiping.

Hey 6, another long time fan. Been with you from the start and am rooting for you and have been entertained.

my 2 cents because I know you do look at advice and decide if it's good for you or not.

Grind 100NL PokerBros, it's your home ground. Play 1hr, 2, 4, whatever you feel. If you get tilted jump down to 40NL or 60NL for the lols and then bounce back to 100NL when you feel better. Clean up one stack a day and your above min wage.

Play some juicy tourneys if the bankroll is strong.

All the other things you want to get better at (gym, healthy eating, healthy relationships) you slowly are, so keep chipping away at that and you'll keep getting better and better.

Regarding your super, see how much is in there and work out if the fees are greater than the interest before deciding to take it out or not. If it's making you money, it's probably better in there.

I don't think 6bet likes cash games very much. If he was paid $25 a hour to play mtt's every hour played I reckon he would be on there all the time playing mtts.

Also ordering uber eats and cream for the wife.

6 bet why don't you just play mtts? Your in the closet saying you like cash games but really you just crave the big tournament scores. You can probably play on the apps, ignition, Acr and perhaps GG.

6b loses his mind on a two week "downswing" (even if most of it was punting at home games he isn't rolled for). I don't think a game type with more variance is a good idea

Pretty much this. Lol at suggesting higher variance games for him.

It is pretty clear that 6bet's problem goes beyond finding a format that fits him. Going from not wanting to grind Uni, to playing poker instead... To searching the thrill of higherstakes... the high of spewing drunk at the casino... Flips for 1k... grinding chess as opposed to poker... His issues are engraved deep down inside, no new exciting format is going to grant him the discipline to become a professional, barring outside help, of course.

6bet, I've been gone awhile. Whatever happened to the 5 day a week/7 hour a day challange/grind that a bunch of people had bets on?

Quick sum up:

Around halfway, 6b was too rich to care for measly free 4.2k, so found excuse to mutually void the bet with Aussue Jim. Took 2 weeks vacation with daily 200$ uber eats, did 1k flips in zoom, donked in 1/3/6/12/24/48/96 (not a joke) home game. Now he's been back in the online grind last 2 weeks with massive 6.5h play time and life roll of 5k.

Well that's an easy fix, just run multiple accounts in the same tournament.

Nice summary

Update from the 6bet headquarter?

On well deserved wellnes-vacation

He was on 2+2 about 12 hours ago, but hasn't posted in 3 days.

I believe he and this seasons writers are in the process of creating a new episode which will contain all kinds of hysterical decision making - it should really create a lot of discourse amongst the viewership and be a real boon to this seasons ratings


stay tuned

Been busy grinding 3 days straight obv.
