All I'm saying is 90% of western Europeans would love to be able to make 80k euros working from home, with full control of their work schedule and no boss. Your life is not horrible. You're upset because you can only make 80k now instead of the 150k you were able to make 4 years ago, but I'm sure if you just stopped wasting money on cigarettes, business class flights and bottle service and maybe even started learning to cook for yourself instead of spending $60/day on food then that 80k will go a lot further.

Not sure I understand how him doing yoga deserves hate? We mock a guy who has decided that mindfulness is important to him? Or do I need to read through the whole thread to see where it's deserved?

Not sure the hate is directed at the fact he does yoga. I myself may have even found out that it can be a really great workout for both body and mind (you'll never prove it in court), but it's only a small few who feel the need to share pics such as this in a public space.
Forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure part of being mindful and at one with yourself would be the lack of need to prove just how mindful/at peace you are to everyone

he is a massive tool, the picture is just funny

I love how the mention of Torelli at any forum brings that pic up lol.
It's not that he does yoga. It's that he thinks he's better than everyone else cause he does it/cause he's rich to some extent/buys designer clothes/travels the world/works out.
His youtube channel is so cringy. You have to suffer through him sucking himself off every time until you can hear his basic strategy thoughts he shares with his half ****** shark wannabe followers.
There's no way he's been grinding 10M+ in Macau for years (lol) like he wants people to think. He's just lying, simple as that. He's desperate to get a following for his site and social media and to make a business selling his piece of **** $2k program that's more for self help than for poker strategy. This is because he realises his poker skills are obsolete.
He's just a snake oil salesman.
Sorry for the derail.

Skimmed through all the positive feedback ITT before watching the latest video. Didn't think there was a chance it would live up to the hype.

Well. Freakin. Done. Legit 9.5/10. (-.5 for the gallons of hair gel it must take to keep that ridiculous hair style going).

Oh, and huge +1 to calling out that DB Torelli in ur next installment.

Thanks. Very good stuff. I like your approach and willingnes to call it like you see it.

Hey Doug, keep up the good work! I like your approach of keeping things real and just speaking your mind. Good luck for ur business pursuits.

Clearly he is proud of being able to do an advanced move. Being mindful certainly is as you described it. Although, many teachers choose to share what they practice to inspire others to follow suit.

My overall concern is the misguided hate for someone trying to better themselves and is kind to his colleagues, while those slamming and degrading his colleagues is encouraged. I understand the name of this forum is News, Views, and Gossip, but it would serve the community better if it focused on uplifting each other rather than mocking people we don't even know personally.

Lighten up, Alec

is that why you never played anything above 2/4 ? even when it was free money

Haha! I've always liked you and what you bring to the game. I am not Alec, but I know him well. I have said this before and I don't expect anyone to believe me, but I am a regular on the high roller circuit but choose not to be public with my identity. Not a lot of upside I don't think, but I would like to be a positive contributor to this community and plan to when I have the time.

Not a lot of upside to be publicly known on the forums but also be a positive contributor to the this community?? That seems to contradict itself

A lot of ppl in hs pokers practice mindfulness nowadays not only Alec yogarelli.. For some reason it's weighted towards mtt folks though

Doug I'm most impressed at your ability to keep a straight face. How many takes do you guys run through to do this?

You know me Papi!!! We cool. I choose to stay anonymous so that people judge the message based on its merits without allowing their preconceived ideas about who I am cloud it.

I want to take the opportunity to commend you for what you do with your show. I admire and respect your ability to stay relatively neutral on controversial topics. It's one of the key reasons people trust you enough to go on your show. You have a faithful following because you offer content with positive energy and show love to your fans. That is a recipe for continued success.

You have earned the respect of your peers and I encourage you to use your voice to take stands and share your opinions. Don't shy away from it.

Great job buddy. Keep up the good work.

This is actually pretty easy.

In fact, to talk about the creation of the show, I would say that it probably takes 3x more time to figure out what the content will be then to record it. By the time I am recording I know what the subjects are, what jokes I am setting up for, and what I generally want to say with the topics. Picking out the topics and trying to figure out jokes takes way more effort.

As always I want to thank all the positive comments in the thread, and I think you guys can expect another episode in the next day or two.

Hey Doug, do you have graphs/winrates for mid stakes since you started streaming? Would be cool to see if you care to share...

Disgusting way to promote your site and yourself. You gf doesn`t give you enough love and attention? I unsub.

You're surprised that one of the best poker players in the world is a good bluffer?

Coming from a guy who has never created a thing in his life.

Sup Doug, s/o to you and whoever is producing, big fan of the show.

great pods, i really enjoy the format and all the content, keep up the good work plz

and keep fighting the already lost fight for nlhu
