i'm a poker pro since 7years, i always played like 50-80hours per month.80 was always like pretty draining to me.though i wanna play 100hours per month.would love to hear any advice.

Hey,

3 things you can do:

1. Self-reflect, self-reflect, self-reflect. Do it daily. Figure out best times to grind. When do you have the most energy. What drains your energy. What energizes you. etc. etc.

2. Exercising, sports, proper sleep, breaks, nutrition, hydration, recovery will all help you become more energized, allowing you to put in more volume

3. Gradual improvement! Don't expect to go from 50-80 hours to 100 in a month and maintain that. I would go with gradual improvement, maybe aim for 5-10% higher volume a month. So for example, you could go for 80 -> 85 -> 90 -> 95 -> 100

I am now reading 'getting things done'. It handles topics what I all ready tried after reading your quide, but now I see how hard I failed in it.

The problem that I have. My brain doesn't trust me. I note everything on a good way down and on a way that it will remind my brain, but even than my brain keeps thinking over it. Is this just a phase or are there ways to 'convict' your mind?

Hey,

there should steadily be less and less thoughts jumping into your head, although of course you'll never get rid of them forever most likely (as you'll always be getting new ideas etc.)

But with time, there should be less and less :).

Another thing that you might try is mindfulness practice and awareness of the present moment (watch Erik Stenqvist's videos on pokerstrategy). This will really help you get in the zone and decrease the amount of random thoughts in your head :).

Hi,

this doesn't have anything to do with poker, but have you ever heard about lucid dreaming?
It seems like you could do almost anything in the dream. Even overcome fears (e.g. public speaking) or learning new skills

I make milions in lucid dreams, yea so its possible to do almost anything. But in da wake up time im a litle bit confused when i check cashier ♦

Hey! I've heard of it, but haven't tried it. You can try it out and test it for yourself and see if it gives you any benefits :-).
