Why you should be prop betting!!!

PLO propbets eh? How about first one to grind $100 to $1000. I use holdem indicator but dont know how many outs I have holding 4689 on a 57T flop.

change your title to "why you should be actively setting goals" and now you have a business/life/poker blog vs some sort of PLO hustle

Its a standard life advice -> set goals, set limits in which you must reach goals, dont turn into a lil bitch if u fail

haha


i think there is much more to it when it comes to setting goals for poker

i can't imagine becoming more motivated playing a grueling amount of hands to a point of mental exhaustion and depletion

i think you might be surprised how you actually feel when you reach that point with a specific goal your working towards

Enough


(20 out wrap)

Obv a prop bet is becouse is +EV without sacrificing enough of your life, but setting goals should come from within. Trying to show you good at prop bets inflate your ego but will kill your action maybe. You shouldnt have said that lol.

heh you don't need to prop bet to discipline yourself. You can do it without putting in 10k action to do so ;P

but hey whatever works for you! Good thing it worked out well for you

you don't need to but it strongly helps. in game theory parlance it's called "precommitment" and there's nothing like it for getting shit done you otherwise may not do

In a perfect world where everybody is always motivated to do there best sure I think that is right that goals should come from within. Trying to show you are good at prop bets is a way to inflate your ego sometimes yes, but the other positives that can come from it short term and long term are immense. The confidence you can build by completing one privately or publicly over time is unmeasurable. I probably never make it back from losing most of my money had I not built up the confidence in the past knowing what type of hard work I was capable of putting in. I never really risked much of my own money on any of the bets I've done over time, even if I had failed it still would have worked out well for me, which is one of the points I was trying to make.

Exactly, maybe everyone on here is some super human wired the perfect way to do something extreme in any circumstances but 99 percent of the people I have met in my poker life aren't that way at all. Need to meet more LPers

I think the best the way to get more mental power and endurance is pushig your limits with theese stressfull long challenges. But there's no risk of being addicted to it and becoming lazy to do some other things without a monetary/reputation incentive?
