But seriously dude - 20k on Elliott Roe is such a colossal waste of $, I’m absolutely blown away you are doing this and strongly suggest you think hard about it & then hit the eject button before you drop the whole 20.
You could easily invest in getting cognitive behavioral therapy, or regular therapy with a licensed professional, instead you pay 20x for someone with no medical background who practices alternative medicine/pseudoscience with no proven benefit.
I would totally expect someone like Fedor Holz or TJ Dillashaw (both clients of his) to us him as they obviously lack common sense and intelligence respectively, but you’re seemingly rational/smart - unless we are talking wedding flowers (jkjk)
Anyways if working on your mental game helped you find success then it’s obv worth something, this was just the nuttest lowest approach
These mindset/life coach/social psych ppl that infest society are the biggest scam of the 21st century, outside of religion obv and maybe CBD. It’s an unfortunate result of what was originally good intention. Now it’s just ppl looking to make easy $ (a LOT of it, for someone like Aubrey Marcus)
/rant, sry for derail, happy for you with everything but this

If I could make a suggestion to anyone working with Elliot currently it would be to steer convo away from specific poker topics that he cannot help you with(he is not and has never been a poker pro) and spend as much of the sessions as possible focused on his area of expertise(which he is extremely good at).
Really quick on this: I ofc didn't make this decision lightly. I think the argument that it wasn't the most cost effective way is a valid argument.
But really it comes to this: is this 20k investment making money? Yes, without a doubt in my mind, because no one knows me better than myself; it's been a big help through this **** 3 month run as well.

I saw you made the switch to cash; congrats, I think it'll suit you really well! That being said I'm going to do my best to make life very difficult for you

Question: does the 2020 graph include untracked results or not? The text above it suggests it does but text below does the opposite. Maybe I'm just too tired to make sense of it.
Gl!
Appreciate that! No, I played 597k hands overall. Most of my downswing has come on WSOP which is why we don't see a crazy dip on this graph.
For private reasons, I don't want to give out the exact profit for the year.
------------------------------------------------------------------
2021 is not off to a great start. I am playing well, but I am just in a horrible stretch at my highest stake games. It's not going to matter how many buyins I win at 500nl if that happens.
I am being as professional as one can be during this stretch; more study hours, way less bs, lot more meditation, hitting the gym hard, getting my sleep in. I just have to keep this standard going and keep the negative thoughts out but I won't lie it's wearing on me.
In other news, because of COVID I had to cancel both my honeymoon and a trip to Mexico; but I am taking a 3 day trip away in some solitude with my wife for our anniversary. I think the lockdown has been wearing a bit on both of us so will be nice to get away!
