i just have these brief images in my head of movies or tv shows

#1) umm, its like a suspense/horror film or tv show or something, i think it is going between dreams and reality, in the dreams theres a scene where someones intenstines are being spun onto one of those things you turn a chicken on, and theres probably also scenes in this movie that look like a psychology observation room where 1 or more people are lied out in beds being watched, and also i think in the same film theres another scene where someone has to be saved from a room thats filling up with water, or sand, or something.

am i mixing up shows?

#2) im just thinking, maybe its just an old tv series or something, but i remember some scifi / gothish show on tv that i probably saw in the late 90s where people were trying to kill themselves but then come back to life and then ask eachother what they saw, does this ring a bell?

any help is appreciated thanks guys :o

so im like totally in the process of overhauling my shitty weaktight game so i can continue to move up from nl100, yes i know, har-har, so baby stakes still. anyway, im like positive its not a fluke and im finding goodish spots to pick up some pots where i was playing a lot too weak before.

i hope my redline will go from something like -50% of blueline to like -(0-10%) of blueline, although i realize the green line is most important. i just think nl100 fr is soooo nitty i have to be looser.

spoiler alert, i included allin ev ;_; so you guys would believe me im not just spewing around like an idiot. but i realize lots of people are running alot worse. it will change.

but for the record, including my non-changed gameplay im over 100k of breakeven so its probably really important i do something proactive to get out of this rut.

feb graph 16k hands so far:

so um, i hope this reaches more than the average 3 reads a blogpost i get

i moved into an apartment on a lease as of this january 1 until dec 31 2009 with someone i had known fairly well via work for ~1.5 years was a good buddy to go out partying and stuff

being as naive as i am, i underestimated to what point his lifestyle had gone degen, but it was to the point anytime this person is present in the apartment, occupies the main room and uses various substances as he does not own a computer or really anything except a bed in his room, with various house guests over at various times also indulging in .. things.

i had basically no control over anything going on in the apartment, and to some fair amount i also had no control over even my own belongings which unless i kept under lock and key, things like alcohol and cigarettes were distributed freely; "community" was cited often as the reasoning and that "things will even out".

to non poker people, it sounds like, "just deal with it" when i'm in the next room trying to really play some good poker

i would like to hear your guys responses, am i completely just a stressed out freak, or is it reasonable that im having a lot of trouble remaining focused throughout?

i lasted about 1 week being extremely focused on poker, and in the next two weeks i was unable to really concentrate and quickly decided that it would be more +ev for my life and poker if i moved back with my parents and continued to pay the lease because fuck 475x10 months if its going to destroy this year of my life and do me more emotional and physical damage.

and here i am, back home, i already feel more peaceful, almost ready to resume poker

am i overreacting? am i placing blame on outside environmental cause when its really my own stress as a result of poker and other life issues? am i being reasonable to believe that i cannot exist in that environment?

for the record, in january i played way way less than normal, something like 50-60k hands and i basically broke even at nl100. i certainly have improvements to make in my game but rl completely took priority over poker this month uncontrollably.

peace

bro bought me a $100 bestbuy giftcard for xmas/bday so i went boxing day shopping and splurged $630-100=$530CAD(thats with tax) on dual 24" acer lcds, kinda weak sauce for warranties and stuff but the price was too much to pass up, could easily have spend close to $1000CAD on dual 24".. hopefully i wont have a sadface blog about monitor failure soon

sorry, no pics :S

but overall its me going from dual 1280x1024 to dual 1920x1080 == 50% more horizontal screen width, very nice setup with 18 tables on stars and very little overlap :D :D :D

cheers merry boxing day
