Stival’s follow-up question was quite direct: “When you say you weren’t doing things well, what do you mean?”. It was then that Nacho referred to his poor relationship with studying.
“I probably started studying for real now, since I started playing Triton. Before, I didn’t study anything. I’m a guy who is very good with cards. That comes from Magic, not from poker. Magic is much more difficult than poker. Obviously, poker can be studied much more than Magic. But hey, nothing, before I might play anything, I never studied, maybe I read a book that existed or I don’t know what, things like that, but there weren’t many ways to study. Now that solvers have come out and you can look at things, it’s much easier,” Barbero replied.
