Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by Saibot (Micro/Small Stakes)

First!

Hey Saibot! Love the series and your insights that are more of the mental aspects of poker rather than strategies. I'm a NLHE cash game player so I don't rly like much of the HU SNG strategy, but my vote is with more mindset stuff as I think that is really quality content! Thanks again for the vids!!!

I'm with moneytize here.

I find many of the HUSNG examples are rather poker 101 or even cringeworthy fishy but the mental game aspects are very good indeed.
Maybe just stick with the mental bits, there are enough regular poker strategy videos already but not enough good mental game stuff.

Thanks for the feedback. Great to hear you like the series. I will make sure to mainly stick to mental game aspects for the rest of the series :-)

First off, I'm enjoying the series very much.

You seem to be cash game oriented, will you be mixing in any tourney specific insites?
I play both cash and MTTs.

I have played poker almost everyday for 3 years straight, in that time I have not had longer than one week away from poker, and I am starting to feel burned out with it. I have decided to take a long-ish break from playing and instead of playing poker dedicate that time to exercise. I usually have poker time around 160hours a month so I dont know if I can go from exercise once a month to 4 hours+ every day without killing myself. Any advice for what I can do in my break from poker? Also how do you know when you are fully recovered and the time is right to come back?

thx sailbot for the series, I really enjoy the series so far... I'm planning on making a trip around the world and would like to have some interesting reading materials about the topics like mindset, awareness etc you talk about, do you have any suggestions for interesting reads?

Some good stuff always to open your mind is reading philosophy. A great website/book you can read is Glynn Hughes Squashed Philosophers (its all available free on his website, but you can also buy the book from amazon). Has all the major works of philosophy in there.

Thank you.
My maingame is HU SNG. Both I also play cash and MTT. I am not planning on mixing in any tourney specific insights though

Thanks
A couple of books I can recommend:
Talent is Overrated - Geoff Colvin
7 Habits of highly effective people - Stepen Covey
Blink - Malcolm Gladwell
Outliers - Malcolm Gladwell
Happiness - Tal-Ben Shahar

These are the first 5 books that come to mind right now. They are all imo great reads.

Sounds like a good idea, what you are planning to do. I think it is a personal feel with regards to when you will be fully recovered again. I don't have any concrete advice to that.
Any advice for what I can do in my break from poker? - I started kitesurfing last year which I have been extremtly passionate about ever since. Besides that reading, meeting new people, squash/tennis/soccer, travelling, learning new skills etc.. That is usually what I prefer to do when I take breaks off from poker. But again, very personal and hard for me to say anything super concrete about

I am watching episode 3 and just wanted to told you that I love the series ! you are amazing man ! thanks so much
