A lot of my recovery actually looks like journaling, which I turn into like shorts and stuff like that.

So a lot of what I do is like reflection on the day and then I'll take like those notes and then I'll like turn it into like a story that I can tell for my social media like the next day.

So that's kind of that's a big one for me.

But also like truly I think that the biggest thing that poker players miss

mess up on is balance, like lifestyle balance and stuff like that.

Like we have a really, really difficult time relaxing when there's always going to be like another good game.

And like, there's always going to be a sick tournament with a crazy guarantee or whatever.

But like, truthfully, I really prioritize like hanging out with my friends.

I prioritize getting good meals, sitting down, like, you know, enjoying myself in Las Vegas, because I truly think you'll go crazy if you don't.

And like a lot of people just don't find that balance.

So it's kind of sick actually, if you think about it.

Yeah.

Fun fact.

I was actually only home in my like home base city for 14 percent of the year last year.

And it was for holidays and birthdays.

Yeah, 24-7.

That's insane.

People are like, where do you live?

I was like, I don't know.

Thanks for asking.
