So here's the thing, you know, I do, like you said, I do a YouTube vlog every day.
So I kind of share my thoughts and listen, I can edit that thing and keep out the bad stuff, but I think it's more authentic and genuine to show people the actual struggles and the pain that I go through, you know, without it.
And I'd say the one thing I'm most proud of throughout the entire thing is the resilience because there are moments you see me where I'm broken.
I'm just like, I can't take it.
I broke a selfie stick this year.
Like I was filming it because, you know, I do for my vlog.
I smashed the stick, threw it in the corner, right?
It's just, that was my like-
hit rock bottom moment.
And then I put the camera on me and I was like, all right, I'll let people see it.
But mentally it was very difficult because there was a feeling of hopelessness where
I was making good decisions.
Like I genuinely felt like I'm playing really, really well.
But every time my money went in and my opponent's money went in and say I was 60%, 70%, 80% for about a two week stretch, I lost every one of those.
And you start to wonder, you're like, I can't win if I never win, you know, in these spots.
So it was difficult.
Luckily I have, you know, 20 odd years of experience and how to deal with it.
And so, as I said, I wake up the next day, ready to go.
To a certain degree.
Obviously, you know, the more it happens in the higher buy-ins, like the one where I broke the selfie stick, I lost 500,000 in that tournament, right?
