#MondayMotivation "Poker is not a team sport. It's every man for himself. It's perfectly okay to root for your buddies and hope they do well, but when it's time to play the game, you have to give it your all. All by yourself, that is."

Despite this quote, I got the impression that you always cheer for your friends :)

Daniel is an experienced poker pro .He had hes ups and downs, but always managed to come up top. While he favors Live poker, he also is a good online poker player. Many peopel dont know this about him.

I agree, Daniel is one of the most famous and titled poker players. I don't think he's the best, but he's definitely one of them :)

While I agree with the quote, I do not think that Daniel is still among the best poker players today. He was totally dominant 10 to 15 years ago, but not now.

I totally agree with you! Poker is an individual battle where skill, strategy, and mental toughness determine success. You can support others, but when it’s game time, it’s all on you.

Daniel said the obvious. Certainly poker is not a team sport. I somehow managed to understand that during 15 years of playing poker without that quote. :LOL: Yes, I agree that poker is not a game, it's a job. And in poker you have to give 100% to succeed. :unsure:

It is certainly very important to hope that our friends get along, but when we enter the field there is no friendship or relief for our friends, it is very important to discuss strategies in a group of friends, let's make the most of this, let's evolve more and more.

Absolutely! Poker tests your individual skill and focus. It’s a mental battle where you rely on yourself, even if you support your friends off the felt. That’s what makes every win so rewarding.
