@@pt2hays For real, homie. We ain't got a mental bone or psychological bone in our bodies either.

This is spot on! The truth hurts our egos very often, and blind us so we're ain't able to focus on what we need to. Gonna use myself as a example. Been playing over 15 years been winning but mostly losing over the years. Here's the really bad part. I've never been in doubt of my poker skill set while playing. What was making me a losing player was terrible bankroll management and not being able to play lower limits, because I couldn't focus down there and normally just punted off because it was boring and wasn't focused. I've known this for years, and still wasn't able to change it because it was boring. To say it honestly I was to weak to change it! 2 years ago I've finally pulled myself together and began to use bankroll management and not playing to high. I've cut down my session time and only playing while I was well rested and on top mentally. And started to study 30 min- 2 hours a day. These few changes have transformed my results in a degree you won't even believe 😊 I normally don't make comments on KZread content, but the video is so true and so relevant for me as a person and poker player. I've experienced all of it on my on body and mind! Thank you for this video. Have a nice Sunday

Personally I love the Webinar sessions where different things being discussed every time.Spots, 3 bet strategies, icm, you name it. Can also be about tools. It's all about finding the right place to study and finding something that suits your level. I also heard only good things about RYE from many many people 😊

Winning poker ist boring. It's that boring daily grind that matters. I don't feel dopamine at all, since i play stakes i can absolutely afford. Just yesterday a friend of mine i have been coaching on cashgame asked me about tournaments, about HU, spins etc. And he hasn't even mastered cash games. But people want to feel that adrenaline rush.

Ben, I just wanna say thank you for this video it really opened my eyes to realizing that I fall for dopamine cravings way more than I admit to sadly. Please keep up the good content!

This is the most important poker-related video I've ever seen. Thanks so much.

My routine at the moment is everyday: 1 hour of mental game studying, 1 hour of technical studying and 4 hours of playing. So really making the difference between the mental game and the technical aspect, it gives me some nice variation. Between the two hours studying i will go for a run for example :) Thanks for all the good content Ben, really helpfull! :)

Ever since I got over a major illness I have been doing all the non-poker things you mention in this video. After I really felt like I had come a long way in the non-poker regard I decided it was time to try playing poker again. This video is quite encouraging. Thanks man.

Thanks Ben, I probably needed to hear this more than anything else. I won't go into too much detail, but I've recently started to improve my lifestyle anyway, but this has given me the push I need and highlighted some necessary areas of improvement I never would've considered. From the bottom of my heart, thanks so much for all of your content! Let's crush!

it's so good to hear your boss, thanks for everything you post here!!

Hi Ben, thank you for this great content! Incorporating routines is often the best way to stay focused on your goals and keep working hard in order to reach them

Thank you for all! I'm keep learning with all your videos. See you on the top!

Love the straightforward, no BS advice! Keep up the great work and videos!

Im playing poker since i was kid and i failed always and i was ,,crying,, because i thought im unlucky at this game because i knew i had good strategy but , like he said i had poor routines , poor mindset and unhealthy lifestyle which leads to failing in poker . When i watched this video i felt like he is watching me through my life everything is true and this really helps me and i want to improve in my life and also in poker . I was never thinking like this and i just forgot about myself . This video is really important for me because like i feel that i can be professional poker player but i forgot that i also need to live like professional and not like average person . Thank you Bencb and lets do it .

Love your honesty about taking your course in relation to the effort/time it takes to master it.I struggle with that topic, having a wife, a lovely daughter and a business. For now the only dopamine urge have is rolling a spliff every 2 to 3 hours while playing. I know a bad habbit but it works for me. Keeps me focused, fit(when smoking no food), and nice and mellow during downswings and a down to earth on a upswing. Thank you for the no bs content 👏🏾✌🏾

Ah! Finally, someone saying it like it is. Love this video Bencb. Absolutely, this applies to almost everything you do in your life to be a success. 1. PASSION. This drives everything, the motivation, the desire. 2. The right PLAN. This gets you to where you want to be. This video touches upon this plan which includes not only researching the best resources but self-inspection as well. 3. PRACTICE. Successful quality practice must occur to gain the confidence needed to be a success. 4. PATIENCE. Never give up. Ebbs and flows are normal process of learning and improving. Success comes sooner or later, but mostly later. And finally. 5. PROFESSIONAL. Accept that success is not to be the best, but to reach a level of professionalism. My five P's to success.

Such an awesome reflection!! Your sincerity should help most of the players out there. From where i'm standing your words are pure gold and 100% true. 'Fixing yourself' is the only way to put it. Much respect!!

Nice video as always.The thing i knew and i loved from poker, is that it exposes the weakness you have, not only the strategy related, but also your overall mindset. But of course you need to have the privilege of getting your ego out of the way to see that.

Thanks Ben this has been incredibly inspiring. I was in a very good healthy routine and unfortunately fell out of it because of the Covid situation which meant having to adjust to working from home etc. throwing me out of my normal routine. I have noticed my poker results/performance has suffered since which is obviously no coincidence. I am going to make some positive changes now to move back to being healthier working out and eating better - not just for poker but for being happy and healthy in general. Just re-bought headspace and am looking forward to mediating on a daily basis again.

Such a great video! This video is helping me refocus on the things I know matter so much that I've been neglecting lately. Definitely helping me be more accountable. Thank you!

Controlling my dopamin cravings and everything ... this hurts for now, but I promise to myself now, to become an extraordinary person. Thank you for that Ben. One day, I might be able to afford your courses and I will do exactly that. Poker is my dream, my future. But I am working hard on the wrong places. Got that now. Great video ! And the first video I was able to listen to for 30 minutes without losing focus and give in to dopamin cravings, thats huge. Usually my attention drops around 5 to 10 minutes. Great Work Ben !

Awesome video Ben, really glad you have brought these important topics to peoples awareness. 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS: #1: Reduce your dopamine cravings: -This will allow you to study effectively, get into a flow state whilst grinding and to be able to learn poker at a deep level. TIP: Master distractions in your environment. #2: The REAL reason most players fail: -Wrong mindset -Poor work ethic -Not working smart -Too big of an ego -Not enjoying the process -Only doing it for the money TIP: You need to enjoy the process of learning poker or you will not succeed at poker over the long term. #3: Lifestyle routines that make a big difference: -reduce and detox dopamine cravings -improving your work ethic -studying efficiently -meditating -working out regularly -following a healthy diet TIP: These changes are an investment in yourself and will give you so much more mental clarity and happiness. I cover a lot of these topics on my channel if anyone is interested in exploring them further. Thanks again for this video Ben.

Excellent video Ben, I love how you constantly emphasize how important it is to eat healthy high quality foods and working out on a regular basis.

Hey Ben, really enjoyed this type of video. Now more than ever dopamine management is crucial. It's very easy to fall into the trap of forgetting good routines you've worked so hard to maintain when you see others around you giving 8-10hrs of their day to Netflix, waking up at midday or later etc. I realise you focus your energy on other areas but I found this video very motivating and would be a loyal listener if you made a weekly/bi-weekly podcast on this type of content. I've moved away from poker, more of a casual player now but still consume RYE content because these principles are widely applicable for achieving success in all walks of life. Thanks for the vid!

True story

Really enjoy these videos, always give me more insight! At the minute I think I have an ego issue with poker always thinking I'm better than other players at the table when they win against and causes me to tilt..Currently mediating 10mins per day now with exercise 4 times per week! Noticing that the mindfulness is making me improve and I'm currently trying out NoFap to control my dopamine cravings, goal is to do 1 month to see if the benefits are really there. 100% agree that strategy is worth absolutely nothing if mindset isn't in the right place and that's something I'm striving to improve big time! Any other mindset tips send them my way folks!

Love the cool subtle when you talk, what do you use to make them.... You are 100 %right if I am on social media while I'm playing I normally don't do as well as just focusing on just Poker but it is so hard no to want to just check a notification even if I'm 12 tabling
