I don't use PIO, if I was and had no idea, I'd contact a top coach and pay for an hour to pick their brain. I've paid $150 euro for 30 mins before.

I do in PT4.

In the game I play, people fold MUCH better than aces regularly, it really doesn't get much worse than that.

In bodybuilding terms, it's like skipping the gym to eat sticks of butter.

In chess terms, it's like calling someone to tip over your chess when you are ahead 500+ points.

In money making terms, it's like burning money because you like the smell and the smell is like a candle.

What stakes do you play at?

Do you have aspirations to play at the highest levels or do you prefer to grind it out with competition you know you can beat?

Any good casinos in Sofia?

I love poker tbh. Had a casual game going on in my neighborhood recently, great fun. Haven't played online in years though.

200NL party poker was gold back in the day.

I play in a live juicy 2/5NL $1K max buy in game weekly......well, not weekly now.

I used to clean up in college tournament style games. How long have you been playing?

I noticed around 2005 the competition gota lottougher and not nearly as much dead money. I haven't played a tourney since 2010 or so but has more dead money come in or has the competition gotten even better?

Have to be a PIO/GTO nerd these days. I've always subscribed to training sites for my edge and my current trainers basically do all the PIO work and teach us to try to "think" like PIO which helps because if I'm honest, I'm awful at math, but great at memorization/pattern recognition

3 years, but I played a bit in my teens.

Than before, yep, it seems horrendous to me though. But thats cuz I studied under the best whereas most don't even bother watching a single yt vid let alone taking a course.

Since your job is gambling, do you have a W-2/1099-Misc or do you file a 1099-G for gambling winning like the rest of us?

You missed the golden age brother. I never really liked online and play better live games but if its like they're saying you'd have made a million dollars back then

You said you are from eastern Europe. Are you a South Slav?

Only played online. Starting in 2009

I literally played in a casino once and got dealt AA first hand. I got so nervous I raised pre in a 6 way pot, bet-folded turn and looked down and realized I'm sitting on like 30bb and should have been pot committed. I basically got pwned by an elderly black man wearing a winter cap and never returned srs
