Jesus guys calm down lol.

Wtf is this argument. Just relax and let broken do whatever he wants to do. Opinions and constructive criticism is always welcomed, im sure but theres really no point in getting personal.

Gl broken.

One of the main effects of illusory superiority in IQ is the "Downing effect". This describes the tendency of people with a below-average IQ to overestimate their IQ, and of people with an above-average IQ to underestimate their IQ.

What do people with an average IQ do?

This.
And this.

I think I've said this before, but if Broken actually asked "What shall I do with my life/career?" then suggestions would be welcome. When he's just letting us know when he's streaming, or he's posting some hands and graphs on a poker forum, but hasn't asked for career/life advice, it is not acceptable to constantly bombard him with ideas on what he should be doing with his life. At best the 'advice' is patronizing. At worst it's akin to bullying.
Live and let live, FFS.

Good read about giving other's life advices...

This is pg&c. He is failing G, and I am providing C, to help him achieve G.

I have followed this thread from the beginning, have watched over 100 hours of his streams, and have a general idea of his motives. Also, by sheer coincidence, I am quite familiar with his line of work and his career potential. I am trying to help him understand that some of the conclusions he has drawn are misguided, not from a position of arrogance or bullying, but hard learned experience.

Finally, no one sincerely solicits advice. Especially those who need it, and especially young adult males.

Yet I am the one with too much time on my hands.

@Avaritia

How much money do you think I need to make next year to make the EV of 1-2yr resume gap worth it provided I live in the midwest?

Also, if and when I do go back to the work force what tips do you have regarding a resume gap if I've been playing poker professionally for 1-2years.

Who cares about gaps. "I made $100 an hour playing poker" to fill them in.
Note: poker and a teck degree. You would nail a high paying finance job.
If u can sell yourself alright. Or pay someone to sell you.

Giving unsolicited advice, especially to strangers (reading the thread from the beginning and watching his streams does not make you his buddy right?), is disrespectful. You can´t expect to be treated well, and to be taken seriously by op and others, when you don´t know, or worse, seem to ignore proper behavior.

You're putting a high value on an asset that has less worth to some than another, that being "time". You're measuring success by your criteria and expecting Broken to use your standards. Your advice about a secular career path is sound but it's not necessarily applicable to his goals.

Who is more successful? A person who makes $100k per year that's unhappy with their career and use of time, works hours they hate and miss out on important life events. Or a person who makes $50k per year, is happy and has more free time to spend towards things they put a higher value on? The happiest people aren't always those with the most money. Success can be measured in various ways.

I'd rather be the person who makes 50k

I'd much rather be the person who makes 50k as well, it's not even close

Yeah, I got pretty lucky. I found a part time job with full health benefits.

IMO, success can only be measured in one way. Achieving one's goal(s).

Well you're a loser.

If you get shown 2 graphs and one person played twice as much but made 5x more money who is more successful at poker? Do you need to ask them how happy they are to answer?

How long does it take before all you morans agree that poker results are:

Winrate across sample size and notated for the stakes and venue.

Broken admits he could have a larger sample and make more money doing so, and likely will not reach 100k for the year.

Big deal, why do y’all have to get bent over it?

does anyone know where the happiness/hour and happiness/100 stats are on pt4

You may be good at poker... but you suck AT LIFE!

XD why are you all so adamant on making life decisions for broken?

Srs question lets discuss maturely


edit: this is mainly targeted towards those that are telling him he should do x because y even though he already stated that he is happy with what hes doing.

If this thread is gonna turn into a bunch of mature discussions, I'm unsubbing.
