How are you poker playas!
Once again, PH is under Enhanced community quarantine to curb the spread of the virus.
But how are you? times may be tough but we should remain positive. But how?
We hope these tips can help you to remain positive.
Find an inspiration
Life may be difficult, but just remember, you are not alone.
It may be someone or something. but find an inspiration that will help you maintain a positive attitude.
One of our inspiration was a quote from the movie Rocky Balboa(2006)
“The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!” ~ Rocky Balboa
His speech in the movie to his son was very inspiring. Life is hard right now. but life was always hard.
It is easy to believe after this problem is finished, things will be okay. but the truth is we have been in a very hard cycle.
But that is life. Challenges are always going to be part of our daily life. But it is still up to us to stand up. So we must stand up.
Stop looking for shortcuts
A lot of Filipinos were hooked on cockfighting and lost a lot of money. A lot of players lost their bankroll.
Some would equate poker to gambling. But it is not.
In 2019, The AI, called Pluribus, defeated poker professional Darren Elias, who holds the record for most World Poker Tour titles, and Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, winner of six World Series of Poker events. Each pro separately played 5,000 hands of poker against five copies of Pluribus.
In another experiment involving 13 pros, all of whom have won more than $1 million playing poker, Pluribus played five pros at a time for a total of 10,000 hands and again emerged victorious.
The truth is you can win from poker. but it will take you a lot of time and you have to study.
Stop looking for those things that will make you win so much money at once and start building.
There are no shortcuts!
Stop making excuses and start learning.
Yes, you may be lock insider your home. but the internet cheap nowadays with all those promos.
Use that time to study. there are a lot of things you can learn on the internet.
Instead of wasting your time complaining, use the time to study.
Remain productive.
Start forming good habits like exercising.
Take a walk, hike, or bike ride. Perform some sort of movement that you enjoy, especially outside. Be sure to pay attention to nature and life all around you.
Seek out “your squad” or those people who lift you up
Find people who will listen if you need to vent and get out any negativity. Then leave it there. Get it out and then let it go.
Reframe your situation.
Don’t think of yourself as being a prisoner in your own house once bad weather starts to hit. Instead, try looking at this as an opportunity to focus on yourself and your home. Is there a room in your house you’d like to rearrange or cozy up for the holidays? Do you have a pile of papers waiting to be organized? Try to chip away at one productive thing a day. It’ll make you feel better.
