We were chatting for about an hour and it was great meeting him over oovoo for the first time. We focused on techniques that he will eventually use for VPIP at a live table, which is why we did the destruction method of going thru the cards. I also showed him in 5 steps or less how to deduce your mathematical win rate on 100% hand range, he tested me out with Pokerstove running.
I have no doubt he will be well on his way to destroying opponents in 6-8 more weeks or less.
First virtual meeting of Miyagi
I just got off the virtual phone with Bennett and what a conversation... I spent 69:47 minutes on a call with him and if I wasn't blown before, I definitely am now.
First off, I'm tired... mentally exhausted. The first part of the conversation was discussing the mental state of me. He hadn't read my blog yet, and I wanted it that way so that we could discuss how I was before him hearing it through a monotone text. Tired doesn't even explain it right, exhausted is close, but not even... My mind is working overtime and it won't stop... :) this is all a good thing.
I read Bennett my blog, and it all came clear through that how I am feeling is normal.
Anyway, through the course of the conversation we had some interesting conversation about the mind, him giving me examples of his research, as well as me explaining things I know a little about in how the brain operates. I explained my knowledge of Mylen and how MS patients and the boy in the movie Lorenzo's oil are affected by the loss of Mylen. I know it can't be regenerated, but it can be strengthened. I know that you need to exercise your brain in order to strengthen the Mylen and that helps all functions of the body... If anyone has more information on it that is reading the blog, I'm fascinated by it and would appreciate open discussions if you're interested... anyway, I digress.
Bennett had me go through and shuffle the deck, and using his techniques, we removed 10 cards from the deck and set them aside. From there, we went through 42 cards, and just going through the deck, we were able to figure out quickly which 10 cards we hadn't seen... FFS, really? This is just messing with my head! Again, not the ability to do it... but the ability to do that 10 days later! I'm on my way to what is a fantastic journey!
I'm out now, tired and mentally challenged now ;)
