To be honest, one of the best podcast I've ever listened to and I will listen to it more than once for sure.

I could listen to pads talk for a ridiculous amount of time. Man this podcast is so entertaining, interesting, and eye opening.

"I'm gonna go to Hungray and start to play some small pots"😄😄 love it

One of the best poker podcast I’ve ever heard for a tournament player. Thank you pads

Patrick is a beast, the professionalism he applies is nuts.

Disagree with the talk about volume > winrate. It's only true in short term. But long terms, doubling the number of tables won't make you as much money as playing stakes 10 times higher, which you can only do with higher winrate, better understanding of the game. And I doubt you can think deeply about the game while auto piloting 20 tables. I guess it's different for Pads, because: - He's already playing the highest stakes online - He plays MTT, and it's much easier to play many tables of short stack full ring than many tables of deep stack short handed cash game against strong regs. - As he said, in MTT getting a lot of experience with how population plays, is probably more important than in cash game. Although for a novice, maybe it's gonna be hard to notice how population plays when he plays too many tables. But for up and coming players who want to think about long term, I think they should strive to play better poker, instead of trying to maximize their income through leader board rakeback grinding and stuffs. Other than that, great podcast, quite a lot of insightful thinking.

BIG POT PADS ! I hadn’t heard his origin story - incredible stuff

Interesting with Volume. I used to 32 table on Stars (low stakes SNGs/MTTS) using Table Ninja when it was available in US awhile back... A little later randomly ran into 3 of the top 10 players in the world on pocketfives at the time at a bar in Costa Rica and they said I need to really cut down my volume. Okay, actually Pads is talking about Understanding what other people do now... Observing. That's basically what they were getting at... I was on auto-shove/fold mode, and making profit, but not understanding the game at a deeper level. So --- I think once you have that theoretical background and deeper understanding, it's much easier to increase your volume; that whole Unconscious Competence Inch-Worm theory. Still as you go up in stakes, I'd drop a little volume in favor of focus and while learning/applying new concepts. Awesome Podcast Guys!

Excellent content. Thanks for bringing Pads and letting him talk so openly about stuff

Great one I would love to see a podcast with Linus

From the 1st second I could here you are Dutch @Rene

It’s great so many fools think they can study and learn their way out of not being talented at a particular a game. I can read every book on chess and never be ranked. Hire the best backgammon players to teach me and still suck. So much scamming in poker it’s hilarious

This was very interesting to me. I'd like to share my thoughts, but let it be known I mean no ill will. After listening to this entire podcast, my read is that this very talented young man suffers from insecurity intensely and that he is most certainly neurotic. He spoke about the inability to focus on one thing for a long time in school, but then talks about doing tens of thousands of hand histories. That right there shows he doesn't have a focus problem. It just means that school is so insufferable that a person could think that the problem is with himself. Most people _these days,_ *especially* young boys who don't adapt to the drudgery and meaninglessness of school get put on pharmaceutical drugs such as Adorol. To me, it's a CRIME to do that to a young man, or anyone, for that matter. Boys have a particularly difficult time when they are young being able to focus. It's something that needs to be honed incrementally. Boys are hands-on and need recreation time. Instead of realizing that the curricula out there are flawed, they blame the young boys. This is criminal. Also, when you add to that today's modern society with its cell phones, social media, and instant gratification, boys never get to learn PATIENCE as much as they once did. They develop short attention spans and have a hard time in social situations. Whether or not this young man was drugged as a boy I haven't the foggiest; but it still stands to reason that you don't blame the boy and then DRUG HIM, you put him in different situations for which he is better suited. This one-size-fits-all setup in modern schools (indoctrination and propaganda centers) is a complete disaster and it leads to young men feeling as if he is some kind of flawed reject, when the truth is that the damned schools are shit.
