Both of your comments are true, but in mtt's you need to make most out of you deepruns because they dont happen like everyday

. Obviously the $450 was a reasonable score, but I think if we played that FT 10 times I would have won atleast 4 times.

Can't really do anything other than that at the moment because of mental health issues.

Smashing it buddy and overcoming mental health issues can be no easy task.

Long time lurker here and just wanted to wish you luck with continuing your Poker journey as well as your journey back to full health.

Just keep doing what makes you happy and MTTs seem to be doing just that at the moment

I have experienced social anxiety also.
Do u guys think poker grinding has smth to do with it ? i think i started to adress it when i began playing full time and spend a lot of time indoor. Also i believe it was then when my vit-d took a downfall.

@op
I would suggest testing vit-d asap and if a supl/ment is need it ask from your gp to subscribe the correct dossage. Im sure the one you are taking atm isnt near enough the dose you need if you are deficient.

@all poker players that spend a lot of time indoors should get their levels checked its the most common deficiency in vits.

Sorry for derailing the thread . hope i helped
