Realize he spent years grinding micros
Then got on top for a year or two in HU
And then HU got all but crushed as a format
He's peaked, he's burned out, he he has nothing to aim for what he hasn't done already (he's never been near the top or talented for top ring games) ... It started when he moved onto being a youtuber years ago now just final dwindling down
Even binked MTT scores... And although gifted in other areas he doesn't have the same talent for longevity as other people in poker do.
