I agree with this. But I think we have to look at it like a recovery program. We have to admit there's a problem. My problem is/was I'm just not that good. Took me a while to realize this. But that admission alone helped tremendously with the restart. Whether we like to admit or not, many of us are so ego-driven with poker and probably a lot of other things. I am 100% certain that I'm ego-driven in many things in life. But with poker, the ego thing has pretty much left the building. Playing at 2NL is humbling. Relearning everything I thought I knew is humbling. Realizing there's a lot of work to do and a lot of time has been wasted is humbling. So in reference to Spoon's post, I'm hoping the way I've started to think and treat the game of poker trickles down to other parts of my life. Because outside of poker, my procrastination is awful, daily routine is non-existent, and I'm one of the most impatient, egocentric, ill-tempered dudes you'd probably ever meet.
