lots of yoga and meditation, sounds like you might be no longer interested in chasing the horizon, believing that 'x' amount of money is what will bring you peace of mind and happiness, but regardless, being super successful at such a dream job like poker, it feels like you could easily make few mil more if you would sacrifice travelling and partying for few more years. so my last question, is there anything you would like to say to younger harthor who just made it to 1ks in hu hypers?
I did fight for 1k spot as much as I could, although in the end I wasn't focusing mainly on poker, due to personal life stuff and doing lot's of drugs.
I currently quit partying traveling and drugs, and focusing on poker full time.
I would tell young(and present) Harthor to value more personal space. There was a point where I became really popular and always allowed people to enter my house, believing I could just focus on poker anyway (wich I could to certain extent but it's not optimal at all obviously)
Also I gave up the possibility of coaching at a really high rate, to spend that time coaching friends for free. I woulnd't do it again. It happened that since it was for free many of them weren't taking it as seriously as a student who's paying for it would do.
I'm currently not interested in making a lot of money for the money itself, I just think it's kind of my place in the world to play online poker, I believe it's what I'm good at (well currently not that good, but I think I will get back to the top).
In the past also I helped (
not sure if that was actually helping), acquaintances offering them money for whatever they needed. Currently I would donate to causes that I believe in instead of people.
I've always been really positive and thought I would never go through depression and stuff like that, wich happened last 2 years kind of. I guess the main advice I would give to my younger self if I could is to be careful about the people/energies I hang around with, we are humans and willpower is limited, so there are moments of the day that we kinda surrender to whatever happens and in those moments it's convenient to not be around bad influences.
I spent a lot of time on weed wich I would rather use for sports nowadays.
