Finally trying to learn editing and my blog is dead because of AI and Google updates. It's still around but it's filled with casino guest posts lol.

Now I've created an outlet for movie and tv stuff and I hope the 2 Lpers who still come here and subscribe, like, or comment. I'll post reviews there soon but for now it's just shorts and movie recaps or great scenes.

I just hold on to stuff ya know? I got to get some of it out ya know? If I'm going to have any shot at recovery.

I have to start with poker because this road to mastery makes me feel alive. Of course there is the gambling too. That plays a part in ALIVE! But, many of the times I play recently my hands shake uncontrollably. Imagine you get QQ and you go to raise and your hand is not cooperating. I have to hold the mouse with 2 hands and hope to get the right bet out. I should be focusing on hand ranges not if I can actually get a legitimate bet out across the line. I guess I have been studying a lot but it's time to get some hands in.

I see my Doctor on Tuesday so we will see how that goes. I just have to remember everything that has been going on and be honest about it.

I've been out of the loop for a long time. I miss poker and want to get back into it casually for some side income and fun.

TBH, I sometimes find myself missing my early/mid 20s, the pokerstars days, and this community. I felt a lot lighter and worry free back then.

Are games fishy enough in ~nl100 for an old timer like me to stand a chance?

I miss live poker too. But I'm living in Mexico now, and def don't trust the casinos here.

What poker site should I look into?

Once again, I'll be traveling abroad for the entire summer (June and July), so I won't be posting much until I return in early August.

This time, I will be traveling to the Philippines and will visit as many islands as I can. That being said, aside from my first two weeks in the Philippines, I plan to do everything week-by-week, so that it feels like I am on a real vacation and so that I don't have to stick to a scheduled plan that is often tiring.

My plan is to island hop, go to sleep whenever I want, wake up whenever I want, eat and drink whatever I want, go to the gym often to keep up with the food intake, go clubbing whenever I want, etc. Some of the islands I already planned to visit are Cebu, Coron (in Palawan), and Malapascua.

This won't be my first trip to the Philippines, but it will be my first time staying in the Philippines for more than 1 week at a time. Prior to 2024, I was in Belarus for summer 2021/2022/2023, and South Korea in summer 2018/2019.

I'll try to post update blogs during my trip when I can, but if I can't, then I'll definitely post a complete blog when I return to California.

I have been going through some bizarre mental illness or neurology problem. I get the shakes sometimes. Sometimes the shakes get out of control. It happens when I play poker too which is the last of my worries because it happened to me while driving and now I don't have any confidence in driving. I feel like I am pretty fucked. And in relation to poker it was like I finally got the AC fixed, I finally was finding some mindset A game poker strategies that helped a ton, I knew where my leaks were. Like, you can't reallly just say to your leaks play better poker it has to be more specific and I was finally getting specific. Poker is all I really have now and I don't have it because of this shaking bit. I could play and be fine or I could be shaking so much I have to guide the mouse with my left hand trying to make the correct bet size.

All this poker talk and I find myself playing again. It's related to Alan Wake 2.

I know when I wake up in the morning I have some valuable activities that I can take part in. I can garden, I can play my guitar, I can go for a walk, I can read, I can connect with friends. These are all Rockstar Activities. Sometimes when I am bored I don't want to contemplate philosophy / life. I want a game like Alan Wake 2 to cut through the time. Then I realized poker is probably / maybe a better activity than that. One similarity I realized between Alan Wake 2 and poker is that the cortisol gets churning in the belly and the adrenaline starts pumping through the veins. Sometimes it is a kind of uncomfortable sensation but sometimes it leads to flow and some sort of high. It's probably something that humans can get addicted to. I noticed there are times when I don't want to play Alan Wake 2 or poker because I don't want to jump into that suffering feeling. I'm risking an uncomfortable feeling to win a flow state and to win at the game and making me slightly happy. I'm also risking losing at the game which makes me slightly sad. I could also lose a lot and sit in a lot of suffering or I could win a lot and feel better than God.

Between a GTO trainer and GTO charts it's incredibly easy to play well pre-flop versus what I was doing in 2010. Although it's pretty pretty difficult to play perfect. I was just thinking about one today. I raise sb. bb 3bets. I have Jd9d. I'm supposed to raise about 60% and call 40%. The RNG says 59. My inclination is just to call but that is wrong. I have no idea why I raise the Jd9d in this spot so much. I mean the solver has the bb 3betting some J + small hands (suited)...

Playing better pf makes post-flop go a lot smoother but I need some work post-flop because the turns and rivers are where the money is made. The (solver) strategy and betsizes really owns 2010 poker.

I just wonder what I should be doing with my time. I spend a fair amount of time on the job hunt M-F but on my downtime what should I be doing? How do I get better post flop without a solver? Should I even be playing poker in the first place? Should I read The Burnout Society for like the 5th time?

I already read a couple of Simone Weil's books. There is no straightforward path of what to read next it seems. But it kind of is funny that I was going down this spiritual path of Catholicism and now I am playing poker. I guess I am just wondering about the endgame with poker. It's Saturday I have time on my hands. I think I would prefer to read a good book than to play poker but the new strategies of poker really interest me.

Malheur. I am not even sure if I understand this word because it supposedly has a hard time being translated in English. I mean a simple translation would be bad-time. Misfortune, woe, adversity, affliction with a hint of impending doom. Surprisingly, I am not there at the moment but I think I do understand this word very well.

I had a job interview the other day that I thought might have been the one but it was not meant to be. I am not sure what the owner and store manager wanted but I guess I was not it. They have a business to run but it hurts a little bit. A lot of it is the time and effort involved. I was likely the last cut made but if they don't want me for their business it's their loss and potentially my gain. If I think a little bit harder and reflect I'm certainly flirting with malheur. I'm in a shitty position and don't know the best way to get out. We've been here before. I'm just venting. I'll cross the bridge and ascend.

I don't think I love my literal neighbors. They are kind of lame. I probably love a stranger from Gaza more. I remember I used to come home drunk and sing Pavarotti at 2am at this one apartment and no one complained. That is love for the wretched not love our neighbor. It is easier to love if you know nothing or everything.
