1) In the last post there was a thought like “I’m rational and proactive, and they’re lazy and irrational, and therefore I do not prosper”. That can be very dangerous mindset and it’s incorrect by definition I think. That’s not about pro poker players don’t want to take +EV decisions. Vice versa, they have a lot of +EV decisions (check out new software, watch/read theory, discuss hands on forums, private discussions, group/individual classes, soft skills development, analyze statistics in Holdem Manager etc etc). The cost is not only $, but thier time as well, and your option just doesn’t seem to them to be “the most profitable”, not “just profitable”. That’s the bar you need to hit, not just to be +ROI.
2) I played poker professionally some years ago, and a lot of (full-time) players I was interacting don’t have a flopzilla. I may be wrong, but if I remember correctly Equilab is free analog to flopzilla (which is less powerful, but still, moving to more complicated software may just seem not the most valuable investment of your time, like when you still have some simple leaks jin your game which you can try to fix).
Thank you, great sharing.
I want to add my 2 cents about things I disagree.
