Well, I've been tasked with 2 items for homework this week from @bennettonika and I have to say the week was a little confusing.
I've had a lot of help from a PP (poker pro) in Edmonton here over the last 2 years, and I have always taken the stance with him that he knows way more than I do... therefore, his word is gospel. I usually take that stance when talking to anyone who knows more about something than I do... this until I learn and start thinking on my own, at which time I can question the theory or methods... In poker, I'm dumb, therefore I try not to think too much.
As was this week with Bennett... he had me studying using his techniques... a good friend of mine yesterday asked how training was going, I told him I didn't feel smarter but I'm sure it has purpose... he said, sounds like a lot of wax on wax off stuff, I agreed, but I blindly follow.
Tonight I had a mind blowing experience... I'm not 100% with Bennett's technique, but I'd give his excersize a try. I took 20 random cards out of the deck, and using the tools given to me, it took about 15 minutes to memorize the cards which now I could rattle off without much effort... what blew my mind was, after memorizing, I shuffled the 20 cards and put them back in order in less than 60 seconds... and wait, there's more... I rattled off random cards as I was asked.
Folks, I'm shocked, I didn't think it would be that simple. I'm super impressed and eager to continue.
oh and btw, if you ever see me at a party, I'll for sure have a deck of cards, I'll show you the 20 card trick, you take 20 cards, write them down, I'll memorize them, shuffle and put them back in order, by then, I'm sure I'll have it down to 5 minutes or less.
Good night
