Message: [QUOTE="NootNoot, post: 6995976, member: 1031651"] It's the 10 years thing that is most concerning to me. If he's not making consistent money by then he's never going to, ar at least highly unlikely to. It's actually good to hear he's getting a coach (or another one, lol). A big flaw can be people gaining a certain level of knowledge and thinking they know what they're doing when really they're not at a very advanced level at all. New concepts they've never heard of let alone mastered. Not knowing what you don't know can be dangerous. Some will study a few starting hand charts, get a basic grasp of them and positon, learn a little about rasing and 3 betting and go no further, thinking they've put in a lot of study for example. I'm not very good by the way, not trying to speak from the point of view as a great player but at least I know my level. Your friend could be a victim of that, hard to say. It can be difficult to put into practice what we've learned as our brains can do funny things to us at times and we end up resetting to play within our comfort zone or how we'd play instictively. That could be happening too. Then there's always the chance someone can misunderstand concepts, or have everything jumbled up. Poker is so complex! New approaches to learning can help, but the reality is that some people will never comprehend certain things or else being an astro-physics professor would be something we could all do. How much do you like poker? If you're into it a lot maybe study together? Whether that's an option or not he needs to be getting a job otherwise his life is going to pass him by. It's nice that you're looking out for him like this, you sound like a good friend. On it's own the results of watching him play for a while don't really mean too much. There are pros who do bankroll challenges for fun on Youtube that struggle over a few sessions here and there even when they drop down to low level games at the start of the challenge. It's how he's playing thatwould be the most important thing to look at. You said his game didn't sound too great, and that's the worry assuming you're good enough yourself to be able to judge it.
