  1. Other people also seem more confident than they actually are, especially against someone they don't know. And even if they've been playing live 10 years and you've been online or whatever, doesn't make them a better player than you.

  2. In my life so far, “if you don’t know, just ask” is one of the most important things i’ve learned

  3. Small noname vloggers on YT give strategy and lifestyle advice. Phil Galfond, the OG and guru of poker training, teaches how not to string-raise in 2022. This is truly an upside-down world in every area.

  4. Tip 6: Don't wear headphones or earphones. It will be detrimental to your awareness of what's going on at the table, especially to a first time live tournament player.

  5. @Phil – your content is very lacking lately. Do you think someone who never played a tournament before is watching your video on tips? You are an incredible player and we expect better from you.
