Note that he says it when out of the chair - officially away from the table or he’d be subject to a fine…or worse.

I play cash and I do not find your statement to be accurate 
As Scotty Nguyen might say, “keep being yourself, baby”
Poker encourages pissing contests, it’s built in and a lot of what makes it fun. When a person’s ego is on the table, that is far more valuable emotional currency than straight up cash. And it can make them stupid. In the long run, I believe the best players resist the urge to become emotionally invested.

This statement is much truer for me then I would care to admit…
I’ve realized over the past week that almost all of my losses are based on rising to the challenge when someone else goes all in. So that’s my new insight, and my new personal challenge, not rising to the challenge… What an irony.
Can anyone else identify?

I wouldn’t go all in myself. But if someone goes all in I would comment “that’s pretty daring to take a all in”. That’s how I perceive “raising to the occasion”. But I don’t know what drives them to go all in.
Generally speaking it is mo betta to go “all in” thans to be the player who calls the “all in”

Man after playing again for a while I have realised that replay poker is not really poker at all!
At best it is an entertainment site!
Here the most chips wins regardless off poker strategy.
Those people with billions can only have won them by “overbetting” or “chip bullying”
A good hand is continually killed by overbetting,
Oh well just my observation Seems obvious though!
G.L. too you all.

Or… with patience and careful bank management? You’ve been playing since Sept 2015. Me since Sept 2017. I don’t have billions, only half a mill but that’s half a mil more than you. (I’ve never bought a single chip- since they give them away every day and I’m a cheapskate, why should I? I did get 5k once for liking them on Facebook, I admit) Carefully build your bank and manage your risk.
My strategy is bonehead simple. As often as possible I leave a table when I’m ahead. I don’t go back in. It doesn’t always work, that’s fine and I sometimes have a tendency to play when I’m filled with Merlot which I regret the next day. But if I’m ahead- if only by a couple of chips, I walk away and come back another day and try to do the same. That’s the second part of what is meant by poker is about patience.
My last hand tonight. I started that table with 400. It’s boring but I left with a little more than I started. My mother said to me, “If you watch the pennies, the dollars grow by themselves.”

Overbet is the good one 
I’ll tell you a secret you can collect a daily bonus to make you the rich boy 
ur bankroll will 
Without the daily bonus I’d have no chips at all. Since I’m mostly a ‘break even’ player at my best, paying for chips would mean I’d still be breaking even, only I’d be doing it with more chips I paid for. Which makes zero sense, right?
Just getting around to responding to this. Wow, that is really helpful. Thank you.
I have a pretty basic formula for going ahead from preflop and it can depend on the table but generally I like seeing the flop a little bit more than I don’t. Maybe it’s FOMO? But, you’re right, I’m quick to bail once it looks like I need a miracle to win. Of course THEN I watch a high card take the pot after I folded my pair of fours.
Your breakdown of my stats fits in with that.
