IT'S OFFICIAL THEY'RE BANNED!!! | Only Friends Podcast w/Landon Tice Ep 124

obsessive, maybe it could be a little damaging, maybe a God complex could start to lean into OCD territory, right, that could definitely happen, that's something that would probably happen to me if I really took manifesting seriously, is right because I think there is a difference when it comes to the mindset of understanding that you can do the best you can, you can do the best you can, the world will continue to exist with or without you and giving yourself the best chance to succeed. when it comes to studying when it comes to maybe looking at some footage from last night's game right before playing today.

I think maybe instead of doing all that instead of doing the things that are actually within your control, you just put all your energy into manifesto 100 and then turn to all the other things that make sense Melissa's toxic guy in the chat says texting me he said no it's not a free spin it costs you the most valuable thing you know what you know what else cost me something valuable you're toxic guy well yeah I think that's a good point maybe not be a free roll yeah I think it could lead to that I think so yeah I think it's probably true and I will say there was a weekend before where I was running so bad playing online tournaments and I told you about that and I I complained a lot and then I said, you know, what if I'm going to play this session and just expect to lose everything because then if I win, it's just a nice surprise, like everything is in, it's not like every hand is safe and then I just want all my ins, so This really shows.

Even if you don't care or expect to lose, things can still go in your favor, so manifesting is real or wrong, so things like that can definitely happen, but it all depends on the way you make your decisions. Change yourself at the right time because when you give yourself emotionally free roles, call it in some places, it's different than saying I don't care, these things don't matter, yeah, because now you're taking a place where you know you want to. Put a River Bluff on the right and you don't do it because you think, "Oh,

they

're going to call it or whatever, yeah, or if you don't do it, I feel like I'm more likely to do that when I care too much." I'm too worried about the result right, because sometimes you'll think this might not work in my favor, this won't let me win and then I feel hurt inside, yeah, bad, feeling pain when

they

call me, you just have to go with the flow .

In The Wind, you know that sometimes it works and it works, sometimes it doesn't work, but this is what I feel like I should do here exactly because there is a difference that is not manifesting correctly, that is Carefree, which acts since the manifestation is real , but

only

with certainty. There are people and some people are fish at Manifest who said Sid hmm, I liked it. I met him at the airport. In fact, it's quite fun to see your kind of person. He said maybe you know you guys can talk about Manifest. That's my dick. Yes, I said. a Discord talk about the rally later today are you going to do a course because I would sit and listen?

Yes, actually we could. I have an open mind. um, I'm scared. I'm terrified of what Pricewood is going to be. Oh, we! we're talking about price points already 9.99 obviously no no no 999 yeah that sounds good because this is real you know this is something that's going to help you potentially make millions yeah and just this is pretty fast this is just like a three minute course. oh, this is a three minute course that's going to change your life Conrad and Sid's three minute course okay okay, I have a question for you Conrad, it's just a yes or no, did you manifest the tab or not?

No, I did not do it. manifest well because if you did maybe there would be a course that no one manifested through the royal flush at uh MGM. I never celebrate the fourth 5K, everything, yes, yes, that was a good manifesto that was also like your last 5K, right? Pretty much yeah, look, if I did that, I'd walk in and be sweating. I couldn't reproduce my favorite moment of all that was that I just landed, got off the plane, went home and we ran to Rio. I'm coming in Brookie comes in too, he just looks and says what are you doing?

It's like midnight and we're just late for the Reds in the 5K. What are you doing? I wanted to play, he says he plays like me. 5K, he says, did you sell anything? No, no other words were said, oh my God, that's at the final table, so it was pretty good, pretty good, nothing was said, but something, no other words were said. I'm surprised he didn't give it to you. like Conrad why are you doing this I mean I'm sure he did there was no one according to you there were no words he said you showed up you turned the volume down I don't remember any of that no that was the fun part no exchange you hear it you hear what you want to listen, you know he might have said something he might not have said, it doesn't matter, you're not drinking Coca-Cola anymore, eh, I see you're not, I got you, yeah, so maybe it's better not to. trying to control the events that you can control is maybe good, I think the moral of the story, at least for me, is to control what I can control, yes, when it comes to being able to make decisions when it comes to my choices about what throughout the day when it comes to conversation your daily routines exactly the right thing cumulative plus cumulative type of control the controllables instead of expecting windfalls and dry spells they just build up cumulatively because sometimes windfalls come when you control what you can control that it's true where the wind where the windfall comes when you're just trying to play a tournament and you end up winning because you're just trying to make the best decision yeah like if you're playing a tournament and you just see it as another 100th rep you see it as something long term versus looking at it as I must win this or I'm the worst because now you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself that doesn't need to exist it's all an illusion it's all an illusion, yes, but I bet there are some top players who believe into some superstitious things, I'm not sure, I think the ones I've known had some strange superstitions at some point of what you have for you have a For example, yeah, what I used to do they wouldn't do it was like a way they set up well your table to be like the bar, the chat bar had to show not how many players are statistics, yes, and then they would. like the moment they clicked on everything and this is actually someone who likes historically very good racing, they would time the RNG, so yeah, well, you have to take the time to manifest that he's playing and he's like, " "I missed it like you miss the place you're at." I'm supposed to click with everything or something, I have one for you, okay, someone told me recently over the summer that there's a re, this is a range, there's another mess that masturbates, stops during dinner breaks of the tournaments each time until it is completed, I mean, I guess very good because sometimes people do that to light their fire.

You know, I didn't ask any questions about it. I really didn't. I was very insecure while I was in this conversation, but you know, I'll come back. relax during the night session it was very funny yeah well as you know from the side conversations Chewie is a very close friend of mine and Chewie definitely believes in manifestation superstitions and honestly I think it just depends on what works for you. You know, because sometimes, if you have feelings and things of that nature that have worked for you, who am I to say that you shouldn't be right?

It's not my place so I just have my opinions based on how I see things and if some people want to do it. have a healthy relationship when it comes to manifestation, do it, yes, but of course it could lead to I could control everything in the world, right, I'm the

only

one that exists and then when it doesn't work out, you're like me. I'm not trying hard enough, am I, put your energy into the wrong thing, exactly, so of course, like anything else, it's a fine line, it's just that I feel like I'm happier with controlling my intention and My choices. capable of leading to results to come in the future, which I'm sure Chewie does too, yeah, and that's why he's the best.

I don't know. I saw Chewie play WPT. Was it alpha eight? It was when he had the beard and he looked very serene and you know, the way he was shuffling his chips was very fascinating, his very rhythmic yes and it really seemed like it was destined to manifest completely in the zone that the commentators kept saying that It's like I literally turn on a vacuum cleaner and it's just vacuuming, vacuuming every pot, yeah I remember, look at this, this is someone who's in the Matrix in tune with the secrets of the universe, look at this shirt, yeah, external chocolate, I'm sure , I'm sure one day I'll invite him over and ask him if he wants to do a

podcast

.

Maybe he can talk about it. I'd love to hear him and Berkey talk about that topic. That's okay, because there are two very opposite ends of the spectrum. Two very intelligent. people talk about two things that are on opposite sides, there will always be a great conversation, they may be closer than you think. I had this conversation with Matt a couple of days ago when we were talking and he was like, “No.” I don't really know how much I believe, but I do believe that when someone has the will to win, they come. Yes, that's true.

You know, I believe that too. Yes, and then you can define what. Yes. Talking about the will to win, why are you here. Yeah a PO there's 10k up for grabs yeah there's 10k and Ethan Yao is second in chips there are tables that are at 10k shots Rampage poker Masters is definitely on but I've been in a bit of an interesting place it's like you know, Fight Club , like you met me at an interesting time in my life. I'm sure I'm at an interesting point in my life when it comes to taking poker more as a career than a video game, because in the early years in the first big actions and things I did.

I didn't really understand the value of money in some situations and I did things from an ego perspective from an enjoyment or fun perspective where I wasn't necessarily the only one responsible. For risks and things of that nature, right, I saw poker as a game. I see that I still see poker as a game, but I see it as fun, but there is a difference between still having fun and seeing poker as a career, okay, how am I? I'm going to climb, how am I going to live my life when it comes to playing tournaments? Do you want to play for cash?

Do you want to play live? Uh yeah, is it the monotone in my head? uh, just some sad music, actually, because it's not. It's sad, you know it's just a matter of I should take some time to understand and structure what I really want and then build a plan to be able to move forward in the future, especially in poker, it can be difficult because I have discovered that I am someone that I tend to jump back and forth between different things, like I'm really obsessed with one thing and then I move on to the next thing and I get really obsessed with it, and in poker I've discovered that I can do that, but I think it would be better that would help me to choose a format and choose a discipline that you already know to really specialize in and just put all my attention on that and then it takes away the similar distraction of being like that, so but there is a series going on right now, like this that maybe I'll do this right now, even though I know what I really want to do, but you know it's a good opportunity, I should do this, so it's like you. more or less it's 100% okay for you to deviate because there are definitely moments for audibles and there are moments where you're like, okay, something comes up that I really want to go to, there's a game I want to play that I have no role to play. , but you could take and have a network to sell if you're lucky enough, but when it comes to having the overall structure in place, when it comes to how you see a bankroll grow, okay, I'm going to do it. play money online and then shoot some live mtts when you see fit, like calling it 1ks, right and things of that nature, talking about the air being irresponsible, sorry but how bad do you want a Berkey tonight?

How much do you want a Berkey? I'll take five, all right, I'll take five, um, so when it comes to all of those things, it's just a matter of realizing that you have a structure and a plan in place and then making some decisions at game time, but as it says the old saying. says, a bad strategy is better than no strategy, yeah, so once you're in the moment and you think you've got all these disciplines and things that you want to pursue, whether it's poker mastery, whether it's commentary, whether it's something else, It all comes down to having a plan in place and then realizing the opportunity that arises and then how much money it might be worth to you versus something else, yeah, and running those cost-benefit analyzes to be able to make a decision because when I was doing the things in the past and before, when it was in play and stuff like that, I did things that were out of my role, like being off the bench right when it came to the Perkins Challenge and then I also didn't understand how much win rate you could get in that place relative to other things I could have done at that time, the opportunity cost of spending that time just studying heads-up instead of, you know, playing, I think there was a series in thatmoment, like other things it's like there are so many things there, it's a good thing because there are so many opportunities and there are so many things that you can prepare for and work on, but there are opportunities that also cost 100 and you also like what you enjoy the most, so I would like to ask you like you spend a lot of time studying and like you, I'm sure you think you're outbidding the poker Masters, aha, why, why not, why aren't you out.

I understand that these things happen every year, as well as what the obstacle is to getting out there, so right now I'm thinking about how valuable the Poker Masters is to me as a player. opportunity cost as to the other things I could do for myself because when I play a Pokémon Master 10K I'm not going to directly shoot 10K because I'm winning the field right, I have to sell x amount so let's say I'm selling a large amount , let's use the number 80, let's call it 80 and say I sell it with my

friends

in person, so now I'm playing a 2K and let's say my Roi on the field is the same. although I'm winning it's between 10 and 30 percent so at the high end I'm playing a 2K with 30 Roi and at the low end I'm playing a 2K with 10 Roi so now once you put those numbers in your place I am earning between 200 and 600 with a fairly high variance and there is surely some value when it comes to the glory aspect when it comes to the social media perspective, yes, when it comes to other things and exactly, it is because That Rampage is doing it for the content as it is, so it's determined in the content and everything it does in poker seems to be for the content and that's why its content is so successful, so it's like when you put your energy into it properly instead of diving in like I found.

I wet my toes everywhere like I wet my toes everywhere, yes it is. important, not just uh fomo that everything is fine because there will always be something in the future and there will always be something else, there will always be another good opportunity 100, there are many different things happening In poker you know there will be WPT 15 million by the end of this year , but something will always arise exactly if you focus on every single thing that is right in front of your face and at that moment no, maybe yes. Not doing the things that you need to do outside of poker to be successful when you play, but it's fomo for him if he's ready for these things, well let me, yeah, that's a good question because we all go with this. understand myself and my priorities right now because right now I'll be the first to say it like poker isn't my number one priority right now my number one priority is to focus on myself when it comes to health prospects when it comes of understanding what I want to do as a correct path because getting your fingers wet uh maybe you know your fingers are dry for now that's okay uh I'm Wars, I have the mentality of trying to understand what I really want from poker, yeah. and when my phone is cool, the focus is not on poker, if I keep winning on the field, yeah, but now maybe you're on that 10, okay, not on third exactly, it's not fair to the investors, yeah Yes, exactly, and it's like you said. yes yes it's like your way of thinking if your way of thinking is not I want to play this event I'm very focused I want to be in it now you're out there that now you force yourself to go play and then You're not going to play your best, yeah , and you can use the money or the time that you have invested, you would do it when you are ready and then your Roi is because the ex me, like the ex me, would just shoot.

I would do a lot of things, the first I would do things based on how fun I thought they were, but the more responsible I am or at least the one I'm trying to be because obviously I don't have it all. the answers were worked out, but what I do know after having these conversations is realizing that maybe you can spend x amount of time and ask: Where is the proof of My success? Where is the monetary value of My Success? What am I building to achieve what is important to you? I know and of course things work for different people when it comes to just showing up shooting, playing good poker, doing things on a whim, everyone has their own strategies that work for them but I think for me it would really be well just sit down.

I think about how I see myself progressing and then I follow that schedule, not exactly, but just having something going so then when I check my funds I'll see if I have a chance. I think about how valuable this opportunity is to me and how prepared I am for it. from a mental standpoint just to give everyone on my side from a support or

friends

hip perspective full transparency okay i really want to do this im going to take I'm not at the Poker Masters right now because I want to be here with you, yeah, well, isn't it?

You're going to get on a plane and I'm going to go to Los Angeles and do it. do something, yes, do something, yes, you have to do it, you always have to do, yes, that's good, that's great, it seems responsible. I'm trying to be. You know I'm not the most responsible person in the world. You know you are 23 years old. Yeah exactly you're not supposed to say probably you're not supposed to think to me it's like you're not supposed to be responsible and maybe you shouldn't be responsible for a lot of things like if you're 23 like you live life a little like what if this is living but he's living life that's what he's doing yeah I mean he's not like poker it's like poker is all you do and you're just sorry not living life you make mistakes that's it what should Say yes I might make some mistakes there are a lot of mistakes we made in other realms besides poker yeah hey I've never played heads up before and I challenged someone to 200,400 and I saw it was 720,000 and he it did not. do better and you learned a valuable and enjoyable lesson.

I've done a lot of things, at least from a poker point of view, like when I started playing poker when I was 19 years old. Poker was my life, yes, poker is everything I gave up for my health. Physically, yes, I was unhealthy in every other way, true, the poker game was getting better, but the rest of your life wasn't. I was stunted emotionally, yes physically, in many other ways when it comes to living life as an individual correctly and growing. Yes, but what it gave me was a set of skills. I have run many Sims. I have played many hands.

I spent a lot of time, you know, and I've demonstrated it in x number of samples. that I have, that I have a win rate on basically whatever bet I'm playing, so I have the skill set, that's not the problem, the problem is understanding where my priorities are and acting accordingly because I want to grow as a person. I don't want to be just this guy who only knows how to play poker. I want to be someone who knows how to relate to friends. I want to be someone who knows how to communicate, knows how to lift weight correctly, knows how to have different skills. sets and things that are important to me, I would just go back and say that all these things happen over time and it's not something you have to rush, they happen over time but they happen intentionally, yeah, you like, people can spend their whole lives without making any real changes because they don't really have the intention or foresight like that, yeah, what I've seen for myself, like the path of my life when I was 22 changed drastically, going down, yeah, and then I went the other way side. but I think you get into these kinds of forks, yes, in life and you choose to choose one or the other, but it has to be intentional.

Yeah, it's a good example for me when it comes to things taking time and happening or not. Like I don't know how to drive yet, you know, and that's something I want to learn to do and now I want to be a little more intentional when it comes to understanding and facing my fear of driving, you should just take Burkey's car when he said well, you faced your fear of being touched, you received a massage and you liked it. I did it, so you know, so you have to experiment, you start small, yeah, I think when you get your license and you understand. the freedom that comes with that, yeah you'll love it, I just feel like I really missed my car, never say no, if someone's going to say no or something, I'm going to say no to drugs from the guy who shot his last 5k .

Those are his best songs, sometimes sometimes it works. I always have to check your sources. Sometimes you can take a risk and get an unexpected profit. Yes, sometimes you just get there. Sometimes you just show up and things go your way. Yes, showing up is a nice thing. that's part of it, right, it's kind of hard and I think it's like a lot, it's like showing up is a lot, I mean, I think it's interesting because I feel like a lot of people who are really good at something have had long periods. There is no balance in life and sometimes it feels like sometimes it feels like you have to choose one or the other as a balance or just be completely obsessive and unhealthy and then be good at something, but there are ways that's not true, TRUE?

First I thought about taking poker seriously. I would make this excuse and lie, say I don't have time for anything else, and then once I started going to the gym more, Matt was like, Hey, I still know you. I care about poker, but just go to the coach once in a while, introduce yourself, and see if you like it now. I still play poker, you know, but now I go to the gym. Realize that it is another priority in my life that is important and then you. Start slowly making time for the things that matter, yeah, and then those things become more automatic, it becomes something you can't live without and you grab a towel and become an online meme, yeah, yeah , that's crazy like just looking at the trans.

I'm just saving it because I said I'd say it by the end of the year, so I'll save it, but the transformation even from this year, like January of this year, to now, well, it's funny because we look at like the last season of Poker Out loud. high, you can go to software.io.com and um, but you look so different, yeah, it's crazy, I'm like, wait, that was Landon, yeah, yeah, these are completely different, right? And it's because I started to worry about you. I know I started trying and being more intentional with how I wanted to lead my life in general, yeah, instead of just worrying about poker and that extrapolates to all the other places, getting value, feeling valuable in other areas and not just dedicate everything to poker, because when I started, I found all my self-esteem and my validation for poker.

I thought poker was the most important thing. Yes. I thought the people who were important in my life were those who were great at poker. Who could provide me value. Who I felt. I also gave you and respected you when you realize that that will not be the basis of what matters to you and now I am realizing what for me my Foundation is my process. My Foundation is to understand how I treat people, how I act. in my own life and how I care about myself and then realizing that that's where everything is important and trying to go from there instead of just using poker as a measuring stick to determine who can and who can't be in my life, yes, I love it.
