You have to play online to better realize your ROI in larger fields. You can play thousands of tournaments per year. You can't play enough live tournaments in a lifetime to determine how good you are or ARE NOT at large fields. That being said... the best of the best tournament players are crushing reguarly in large fields. Most of us will never get to that level.

Darn it buddy - you do know how to crush dreams. But I totally agree, thinking of playing large field tourneys and make money is a DREAM, not a sustainable goal/plan. I am attracted to the big GTD, but you need to play 6-7 hours just to make min-cash. You making me rethink my poker plan for 202 and Im thinking about categorizing poker time between cash, small tourney, and shot taking - Big Tourneys. Love it

Think we are putting out some misinformation here or are just not informed about the industry. Yes, some specific online websites have had issues in the past of cheating (specifically ignition) but every other site is fairly clean/ still beatable although much tougher than live obviously. But to say online cash in general is unbeatable for most part is just an untrue statement.

I just use the "watch the game I bet on and lose 3 buy ins because I'm not paying attention" method.

What about becoming live cash player and use the winnings to bankroll your tournaments?

I know I am evolving each day and one goal I have accomplished already is acknowledging how I feel regardless of the outcome. It feels so good to know I did that. I haven’t felt this way for a long time!!!

My goal for 2025 is to better not only my poker but myself as well. Embrace the process and the journey. Which I have done since I started this journey a long time ago.

You have to look forward to the process more than sweating the outcome.

Goal 1 study - 2x30 min sessions from my bought in the past plans(rewatching and taking notes this time) plus additional 30 minutes going over my hands in GTO Wizard (and uploading all my hands, even from low stage "punting" league games - got to learn how to punt :) Goal 2 - Mental health - (A)start using the CALM subscription I bought for myself month ago, and (B) play poker with minimum distractions - quality over quantity. 3 days of NO POKER per week -I wonder if you can "turn off" ACR on Mondays, Tuesday and , and Saturdays till 6PM :) And play only every other Sunday - family time Goal 3 - Read One chapter a day of ANY book. If missed a day, next two days 2 chapters. Thanks Rob for letting me tag along your journey.

well said. "Participating" in studying/watching, and actually learning is two different concepts. people learn on the "wrong level" Learning from Pros and playing Micro stakes, and getting frustrated if it didn't work. Or playing GTO strategy against Non-GTO players.

i learned i suck at gto poker, and poker in general

Low stakes players don’t seem to study very much

So simple and yet so realistic pointers. In relevance, Poker is an “easy game”, yet, we go out of our ways to make it difficult. Looking forward to the 2025 journey.

I really appreciate your efforts! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Great fold, noted and NOTED!😊

It was truly a pleasure to meet you and bust out with you in the freeroll. All the best in 2025!

Great Advice Rob!

you become who you surround yourself with. People can either bring your forward, or held you up towards your goals. They either add value or take it away.

where is this botter forum you're reading from?

I've started doing this in the last couple years. If someone consistently complains to me but doesn't want suggestions and never takes steps to solve problems, I tell them I can't listen anymore. It's so draining and unproductive!

Excellent job... I do aspire to be a full time poker player some day. This was good to hear rather than find out the hard way. Ty bud

I get tilted when I’m vs players making several mistakes pre and post and I know I’m no good and they can’t be bluffed so I have to overfold, and even when I’ve been playing tight I still go multiway and have to make a hand to win a pot, but somehow when I do get a hand I get no action. Even when every fold is correct, it has a cumulative effect so it makes me question whether I should’ve found a bluff at some point, if not to win that hand but to get action when getting a big hand later

I also have "I am on tilt" tilt, or pissed of Titl - is when the player is on a draw and he gets there, and I know they did, and I call or rise out of spite... It's like giving a player a "finger" while punching yourself below the belt at the same time. = Im weird

Omg!!! This is so true!!!! It’s scary!!!! I battle with it every single day. How I combat it is taking a day or 2 off for balance. No study or play. Just life stuff or family. Then come back to study first then play. I don’t study I don’t play

Simplifying the game and Prioritizing the variables - GENIUS if I may say. Looking for a ginny pig to tryout for "before and after"? Im your pig :)

Fun and Poker… who woulda thunk it?!? 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent point, you call it a "catalyst", I call it "trying to buy performance", by purchasing all the tools, but not learning how to use them, or trying to use them without fully understanding the them. People looking a problematic symptoms as "the" problem, without realizing what the real problem is.

Excellent advice, Rob. Kid you not::: My husband and I were just talking about this! Learning poker is a lot like learning an instrument. Your output depends on what you're willing to input while also applying theory and working/practicing in a way that benefits your growth.

Just saw your post on X, Rob, with the upcoming list of vids!! Notifications are ON!! Keep up the great work!!

not a big fun of you NOT moving to PA. Boooooooooo........ but I get it. Glad you bringing some stability. (but still.... bbboooooooooooo)

Welcome back. I missed you. Can't wait for the 2025, and this is a great start. Looking forward to the 2025. Let's "rise the stakes" of life fulfillment, fun, and growth.

bro have u got any free poker overlays? i saw ur video before,and theres only one below.

I just found out that you can put a real time HUD overlay of your opponents' tendencies on during the game. That seems almost like cheating. Do most low stakes players even know about this? I know I'm totally new, but this seems like taking candy from a baby.

ACR Is infested with bots, and they do almost nothing regarding to complaints, and they are in complete denial that this is happening, I trusted this KZbinr and put a shit ton of money on the line, and because of his high ratings for ACR, I suffered the consequence, and lost a shit ton of money to bots, all because of Rob Gardener with his BS, absolutely disgraceful, don’t play on ACR.

I live and Vegas have no interest in anything outside of the mystery millions

We live in a world where some people remember their parents only on particular days, yet there are people who talk to their parents like a regular everyday meal, part of day to day chores.

well said my Man Happy Father’s day!

Wut

This is tragic. Where did things go wrong for you?

Nice comeback, only significant live cash in the past year being a daily deepstack mincash. Let's goooo
