Hunkeelin is obviously very insecure.
When i saw a video of his play, dunning kreuger flashed strongly in my mind.
Hes well below where he should be considering how much time hes spending.
If he had spent just 300 hrs playing and got to his weakish regular level, id understand being happy. |
I'd actually disagree with you there. He's a pretty good player. Not sure there's any indication of how much time he is spending but what a lot of people who haven't been at that level don't realize is how much effort it requires to move up farther and farther after a certain point.
Insecure? Far from it. If anything, too secure in the fact that his actions are "promoting TT". Some might disagree there, but to each their own. |
I consider myself a barely competent player vs actual high level amateurs / student of the game, yet am pretty certain I'd beat him with ease, and would certainly outperform him if we played say 100 people over time, who are different styles and levels between 2000 and 2400.
You need to have the mindset of a student regardless, as you need the hunger of not being the finished product.
There are countless guys in the club that are 60 or 70, and have say played at the international level in their prime, yet still have amazing stamina, footwork. In some respects they are even sharper, as their first step is in their mind and its much faster than 99.9% of amateurs.
Their breakdown of peoples games and styles and strengths / weaknesses is akin to how chinese nick names have no chill. 'his game too simple' etc.
When these guys do appreciate something in your game, such as forehand variety or touch, thats something that someone that is worth a million of hunkuneels self serving posts. You treasure it, try to hone this strength and incorporate it into more and more points, whilst also improving everything else so your game is more balanced and technically sound.
Theese guys didn't get so good ans age so well because they were the most talented and lucky guy. They got there because they were smart and maximizd their potential, even changing what it means to be old. The 70 yr old, 2 years ago got several wins against players of similar caliber to each other, and one that had played and had competitive matches against kanak jha in 2016 (3-1, deuces and aay 40 to 45 % of the pts, in world under 18 or 21 etc). A 68 yr old who plays like 12 matches, in 2 events, in 1 day, and all tge important knockout matches are b07s, and beats 3 out of 4, top level juniors. With a heart condition to boot
Being proud of your progress and sharing achievements and progress etc is one thing what he is doing is another. Hes self fellating and telling everyone to watch and appreciate.
