Makes a good calendar slogan on your bedside table, but in reality for most people going after an amazing life leads to the loss of their beloved comfort zone and dangerous destabilization of their functioning basic lives.

being curious and self-aware about the emotions you experience in life is golden. Phil out here extending poker psychology to everyday life ❤️

This is so, so, so good. Lots of poker channels provide value in various forms. But in terms of unique insight and therefore unique value, you are miles ahead of anybody else.

Woah the contrast on this video is wild, your editor went nuts with the color grading.

How is it you always know exactly what I need to hear or work on right when I need it most? Talk about soul reads! Thank you as always for your thoughtful, kind encouragement.

This was one of the best topics on this channel, I hope it continues.

All in all ine of the most intelligent guys to listen to about any topic. Clear thoughts, good analogies, strong reasoning,, very easy to follow. Thanks for it!

Weird Comment Alert: Stepping out of my comfort zone, I am not even gay and I would let this guy do what he wants to me. I am joking, but serious too. I always had this thought experiment of if I were a woman, what type of man would I trust. I was not surprised at all to see this guy wearing a wedding ring. I am an older guy who has acquired some wisdom over the years so nothing in this video really stood out to me, but I would love to see more videos like this because this younger guy could probably teach me to look at some things in life differently.

This was a good one, thanks Phil 🙏

Insightful and thoughtful.....impossible not to love someone who has considered all of these things. Respect.

Great topic, deep thoughts

Thanks for posting. I will do my best when I play in the WSOP circuit event net week.

This is absolutely excellent man

Nice, thanks Phil. Feels like a thing I was missing on my game

Some of the biggest cash game pots and most important tournament pots I’ve ever won have started with the thought “oh boy this is gonna get ugly”, fully grasping that, and then just strapping in for the mental ride and leaning entirely on logic and reason

I just had my 1st double up session at 1/2 no limit using some of your range and position tips from laster years low stakes strategy videos!!! Thank you ! Id love more low-stakes strategy or tips videos!

Phil, I've been following you and listening to your material for over 10 years. Member of bluefire and RIO. There is general wisdom at the bottom of a lot of the things you speak about. As a person with a deep interest in philosophy and religion it would be very interesting to hear more about your personal sources of inspiration and life philosophy. Sort of detached from poker for once. Where you get your ideas, schools of thought, what you admire, what you read etc. Thank you very much! Daniel

Bro stop making so mutch sense. Love thank you subbing

"if you lost interest in the last part you are the person it's most important for" I hope some of your listeners hear you when you say this ❤ I love how you're trying to help people in more important ways at the same time that you're giving poker advice.

You're absolutely right, no one likes to take risk, but this is a game where risk is necessary.

Great content

Well thought out video - just like PH white magic, but properly explained!

thanks for these videos

I like the way you articulate this Phil. Really, we all like to think we are making emotionless decisions at the tables, but often times we are just labeling a decision that’s most comfortable to us in that moment as the “right” or “smart” decision, when we are really just playing into avoiding being put into potentially uncomfortable spots.

Not where I thought the escalator metaphor was going, I thought everyone was scared of escalators. Final Destination ruined them for me. ☠

Great advice as always Phil! I'm headed to Parq now. Wish me luck 😄

Check out the ADC greenbook. The flex touching the wood isn't recommended. Some of those connections to the boots look restrictive.

Hi phil, do you think play style should change when going from from online to live poker. And how so if yes

I mean just.... Phil Galfond for President! ❤

This is interesting. I'm not really a poker player but interested in generally usable info like this. Eg..like what it takes to obtain expertise in poker that could also be applicable to everyday folk.

There's quite a number of lessons in poker that are applicable to normal life. Solid poker players are like Street psychologists, it's a very mind oriented game

Infelizmente não falo inglês. Seus ensinamentos são muito comentados aqui no Brasil. Saúde e paz para você e sua família.

The only thing I wasn't expecting to see at your video, was a video from the underground station in Greece (2:35)😅

I feel a strong urge to post a second comment on this. The internet is filled to the brim with advice along the lines of "you really don't want to re-open the betting" with, say, draws on the turn where you can be priced out by a reraise, and marginal made hands on the river. My inituitive and natural state of game play is, or rather always was, to allow myself to step outside the comfort zone, as you talk about. But the be careful about re-opening advice has sneaked, to the point of becoming a giant leak. I've readjusted and tried it out in MTTs, despite mainly being a cash game player. 4 final tables in 20 MTTs w 1k+ runners. Cannot wait to get to the cash tables. If I ever run into you in Vegas, I'm buying you the biggest beer, there is to be found!

Woah water refill station in the studio!?!? Pretty sick

Now that the BERRI SWEET vs AmSoGood match resumed please do another hand review! Already lots of interesting hands posted on 2+2!

Absolutely golden video cause apart from poker i like psychology as well

poker coach and therapist!

what's funny is living in nyc has made me 100% okay with confrontation. I used to be a west coast softie, but now if my order is completely wrong I will definitely say something. not in an aggressive way, but just to get the right thing and give feedback about how they didn't get it right. same thing goes for seeing something on the street and speaking up. I also thought it was funny that you brought up escalators, my mom refuses to ever take an escalator (even at airports lol!) and has definitely worn off on me. a lot of times it can be faster even.

Soul reading me, and we're not even at the tables. I'm always bluff shoving the river "next time".

Real ones know the Vancouver Starbucks story from Phil’s newsletter 😊

the level of u searching into poker player soul is v impressive . this is the kind of content truly touch my heart as a poker player

You’re forgetting one key factor. Escalator is fun!

It’s definitely a meditation video.🤣

Lord send me this video. I'm uncomfortable when I need lay down big hands. Or when need to find a call on bigger games

Those 5 rectangles on Phil's shirt. Is Phil wearing a poker shirt inside-out?

So essentially… I have to fuck around and find out? 😂😂😂

I don't like star box...

phil did you run out of content for shorts?

A poker seat should be uncomfortable. A player should never sit easy.

Akshually...You should have shown people walking UP steps. I worked with some orthopedic surgeons who have told me going DOWN steps is one of the worst things you can do to your knees, in terms of ordinary daily activities.

6:40 Sorry, I wasn't paying attention

Phil, this is far too introspective and self-aware and thought-provoking. Instead, can't I just open-shove every flop and hope to suck out? This other way sounds exhausting.

Living in the comfort zone keeping u big as hell

your first mistake phil is not going to Tim Hortons instead lol

Just shove and don't think about anything, you won't be stressed 🤔

Uncomfortable? Hmm the thought of getting married…

This video made me uncomfortable. 😮

Starbucks blows

Comfort is also how you go broke. Nice try though

taking the stairs is NOT healthier than the escalator. going up and down stairs too much takes a serious toll on your knees. this "more excercise is always better" fallacy needs to die. we like comfort because comfort is actually healthier most of the time.

I usually love your videos but you lost me here..
