Sweetswing is probably a big Jordan Peterson fan, it seems unlikely he would have used the exact words he did otherwise.

I've been getting a kick out of binging his stuff on youtube the last few weeks. I think anyone (who is interested enough to voice life advise opinions on 2+2) would benefit from listening to what he has to say, even if it's just to come to terms with why you disagree with his conclusions.

Looking forward to the rest of the story OP.

Depends how you define challenge. In some way every aspect of life can be seen as a challenge, so maybe the statement wasn't that absurd.

What I would say though is that people find happiness in different ways. I wouldn't be so quick to say X is the wrong way and Y is correct. Also, the ways in which you find happiness will almost certainly change throughout your life.

nice catch

Appreciate the positive feedback to the story so far!
Ill continue it when i find some time and inspiration, theres ALOT left and its quite a writeup



Ty. Another reason why its hard to go in depth is because so much ****ign happened. Yup will write abit about my poker history below.

Agree with this. Right/wrong in general is something that cant be answered for a multitude of things. People who dont realise this lack open mindedness.



Poker History (short version)
I really started playing poker in my semester abroad in Australia 2015. I was a complete fish back then but ran like a god and i guess there was some logic to my plays that worked (live). I shot took very aggro and ran it up pretty fast. I also played way too high lol. Ultimately this obviously ended in me going close to bust. Man so many stories to tell in my yougn life i feel


A couple months later I decided to take it more seriously (still kind of a fish), and just started playing online. I was pretty aggro in taking shots and didnt really give too much of a **** wrt bankroll management. I started playing 100z very early and ran good, so that just kinda became the stake I hopped in at I guess. I played decent volume and for some reason my weird logic seemed to work and I was winning. Now, I had no experience with online downswings yet and how hard these can be, which ended in me quitting for a while again.

I guess its noteworthy to say that Im a very quick learner and have a strong affinity to maths and logic, high IQ yadayada.
So when I decided to start playing again, I actually decided to study more too. I started to slowly understand more in depth concepts and game theory (even though a lot of that was faulty), and grinded more at 100z.
I also played live every once in a while (also funny story of me being backed in some big games and alooooot of degen stories tbh).
I just realised that theres too much to write about once again so lets just jump forward to 2017.

So 2017 I was somewhat solid for 100z standards, so that was the game I played when I first moved to thailand.

Im not a fan of posting big graphs or monetary results, but for the sake of it, heres how I moved up this year:

- Grinded 100z for 1-2 months at around 7ev.
- Moved up to 200z for 1-2 months at around 6ev.
- I also played on soft sites at higher stakes in between every once in a while, but didnt like it even though the money was good.
- And now im playing 500z at around 5ev, but I think there is still room upwards and I dont have that big of a sample yet, so well see.


Needless to say I also studied a **** ton this year as opposed to pre 2017. This allowed me to move up pretty fast

It is not. I lived that life a long time. I still could but dont. Now im not talking about overwhelming responsability at too young an age. Ex. Getting a chick pregnant at age 18 that you dont even care for. That type of responsibility will suck you dry.

Im saying choose it yourself but do choose it. Living a life with no responsibility sounds great but it doesnt work. Its ultimatly very unsatisfying.

Its true i am, he put into words what i learned the hard way.

People posting on 2p2 in 2018 thinking Jordan Peterson is smart is why poker will never die. If you think a person discredited and disowned by every intellectual in his field while he shows up to "alt right" rallies to perform speeches for huge sums of money is your kind of person, you're in a bad place mentally and should seek help.

He is clearly smart though.

Jordan Peterson is doing great things and is very intelligent and important for humanity at this point in life. Anyone who says otherwise has not read/watched enough of his material.

As someone who has actually been taught by this man, I assure you he is not all he is cracked up to be. Students (primarily females) would routinely challenge his assertions and would successfully argue against his narratives, only to have him end discussions by dismissal and pure rage. I'm not saying he isn't an incredibly intelligent man, but he mainly preaches to an accepting audience like he openly admits in his recent interview.

Yeah, like I disagree with A LOT of what he says and I think he methods aren't the best either. But there's no denying he's very smart.

So what someone who doesn't want to start a family should be responsible for? Isn't being responsible for one's poker career or business not enough?
Personally I think that the whole beauty of holidays/weekends etc is caused by that we don't have them everyday and I would probably always keep working in some way at least 20 or 10h per week but tbh it doesn't seem like a big problem, OP will make his couple mil $ in a few years then he will be able to start a life full of freedom and if he doesn't like it after few years then he'll just set new goals, simple as that, it's probably not worth to think about it right now when we are nowhere near close to achieving the first goal that'll lead to this whole "freedom" thing.

Who is that guy ???
