I'd really like to learn how to play poker well and be a suave gambler, but I am a neet.
Whats a skill you'd like to learn /r9k/? whats stopping you from learning it?

An instrument, drawing, photoshop, a new language. Being stopped by lack of motivation and lack of time. I did try learning Spanish for a few months but I eventually realised I would have to sink money or a lot more time and effort into it if I was ever gonna learn, and I wouldn't have anyone else to talk to anyway, so I decided to stop. Maybe I'll pick it up again in the future.

What I've noticed with doing things is that if you get started doing them, even just a little bit, as long as you're consistent, a sense of momentum will carry you farther than you previously thought possible

I would like to learn to fight with a sword but I have been unable to gather the confidence to contact HEMA groups near me.

Desu swords are radical.
I've always wanted to learn how to fence

Trips of truth. Swords are radical. HEMA spots are so far from me anyway, when I get a license and a car I'll try to contact them so I can learn. I want to sword fight. Life is so boring.

Nowadays good poker is mostly GTO grinding. You won't make any money without the math.

I want to learn how to camp. I want to be able to stay in the woods for a weekend, or later on a full week, staying by myself and not having to rely on civilization. I want to feel secure in my competence that I can just go away for a while like that, set traps or fish and such. I doubt I'll learn it though, my dysfunctional lifestyle keeps me in perpetual poverty to the point I compare the prices of oats and flour, so I'll probably have killed myself before I'm able to afford a tent and the basic equipment.

Poker isn't really gambling I'm afraid. Playing well is about making the move with on average the most long-term return. Big bluffs are cool, but there's a reason poker pros (as in, those who play for a living) are called "grinders".
