Been having a couple of rough sessions, and throwing bottles and various other more expensive things can't become my habit of reacting to bad beats.

New ritual is to watch this video of Jocko Willink and take 5min of fresh air whenever I feel tilt creeping by.

Jocko Motivation "GOOD"



Now the only thing to figure out is: Is it more EV to sit out on each table
on the next hand when tilt starts to set in, or wait until the next BB....

This thread is so bad I'm watching it right now

Sorry

god this video is stupid. Its just nonsense over metal music.

"I came home from our first date night with my wife in 8 months since our baby was born and found the sitter couldn't wake from his nap". "Good"

"I was just diagnosed with ALS." "Good"

"My GF went crazy on bath salts and cut my dick off and flushed it down the toilet." "Good".

"Ebola has mutated and is now air born and it cant be contained." "Good"

R4J is 20sth.
Although.... If I think of N1H..... everything is possible.

I made it through 18 seconds before I decided that further watching would ensure that I broke something in a fit of rage.

Good.

18 seconds!!!!

You are a better man than I am.

I listened to Sam Harris’s interview of Willink and there is something to be said for being resolute in the face of adversity. Applied to every situation, it seems stupid and counterproductive, but it also avoids the problem of giving up too easily.

HT,

was it done over metal music?

lmao i almost died reading the comments of that video

my fav was...

This 2min rant gave so much hope and positivity to millions of people. I can't understand how people can watch this and take an ounce of negativity from it.

It takes a special kind of person to find this one "stupid"

Good


Hey Youse all think this is stupid so you must be wrong

Good



Im on an infinite tilt because I was tilting and was prescribed to watch video
which then tilted me so I had to watch again

Break me outta here JOcko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u mad bro? Good.

Jocko is ****ing annoying. Good. He exists to constantly vomit out off-the-shelf positive instagram quotes like every other lame fitness guru/ life coach/ social media whore. Good.

Just wasted a few minutes of my life opening this thread and watching half the vid. Good

I have learned to never click on an R4J post ever again.

It seems beyond obvious to me that not everything is good.

Good.

Exactly. What some people here fail to understand is, that not every situation or every thing bad that happens to you should determine your life.

Now for the sake of having something smart to say, people will bring up life threatening illnesses or just the most devastating things you can image. But even in those instances you can take away at least something positive from this video. Even if it's just temporary motivation!

Why not make the best out of every situation you face instead of making it worse?

I good, but you seem a little bit upset.

The message itself is 'good,' but it's hard to take him seriously when he just throws out cliché after cliché - and that deep voice sounds hella put on and just ridiculous ala Mortal Kombat or some ****.

Of course there can be positives that come from negatives - if you look at it logically, nothing good can come from getting upset or annoyed about something bad that has happened, so having a positive outlook and moving forward is the most rational way to react to adversity.

This should be basic knowledge though. Throwing around buzz words and blasting rock music is just cringe.

This. Lol at thinking the "message" is some new insight no one has heard before. Its what the majority of platitudes are based on, probably the first one you ever learn.

That was why I thought that op must be very young. That all is so new and exciting for him.

No one said that it's a new insight - And also the fact that it's not a new concept doesn't make it nonsense. There are many different ways of delivering a message, some prefer rock music in the background, some prefer a different setting.

I'm not sure what my age has to do with this but I guess, if you can't win an argument you have to shift the focus on something else.

But this is exactly the point, if it were so obvious how to get out of a bad situation then wouldn't we all be perfect all the time? Logic should - at least in theory - make every situation better, but your logic becomes clouded by emotions.

At the beginning I also found his voice a bit "extra" but if you dig a bit deeper into his story and the things he has overcome, it makes you sympathise with him

I’m glad that this gave something positive to “millions of people”. I’ll probably never encounter even one of them outside this thread but I’m all about positivity. Thumbs up OP, still not watching this crap tho

Got my tits coolered. Good. Didn't want to win that one anyways.

LOL you don't get Jocko at all, it's more like when you **** up good... you got something new to work on, something new to learn from, something new to build on to improve yourself. It's part of the discipline movement but that's a nice little critique you go going there bud.


This is a crappy op tho.... I didn't watch op's vid but I seen it or another version of it a long time ago. Jocko has some good **** the soft youngsters need.

You definitely need the discipline and resolve of a Navy Seal to sit there and listen to Harris. Listening to that guy makes playing Russian roulette look like a day at the beach.
