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.

everyone has a life now or something, im retired with so much fucking free time to do what I want, maybe its time I go back on reddit or something. rikd I am reading some novels but reading bores me I like audio books more. I fall asleep reading books lol. there is not much to do with the resources I have so I gotta just like humbly n modestly but hey im grateful I aint slugging out at a 9 to 5 cause I did one of that that n it was brutal. oh well rather chill n relax then work hard for someones dream. I need to find a way to make a bit more money too cause I have so much free time n not a lot of capital to work with. I go to the casino 2x a month to pass time. I also don't think I want kids anymore too much work at my age. I don't know life is super peaceful atm like a buddha life. I need to go to a club or something n have that kind of life again maybe not sure. but right now I don't have much to do so im writing this blog.

Dear fellow degens,

I know what you’re thinking: “if I had 2 first names instead of a first and last name I’d be a popular poker vlogger too.” Well sorry but there can only be one Brad Owen. And we got him on the pod to explain how awesome poker vlogging is. (Actually it turns out he started vlogging so his parents wouldn’t disown his degenerate gambling ass).

Or something like that. You’ll have to watch to find out what he said exactly.

Anyways, he gets down into the nitty gritty. He tells us everything from:

How he found poker

How long he spends on his Vlogs (fucking long)

How much $ he makes from YouTube

What the future holds

Enjoy episode 17 of the Table 1 Podcast with Brad Owen

Cheers!

Whatever will be, will be.

I'm still writing my novel. Up to 80 some pages. I still feel a bit blocked. It's like what I've added some of it is decent and some of it moves the story but a lot of it could probably be cut and it wouldn't matter too much. I'm still stuck on where the story is going and how to finish it. I keep going just figuring I'll figure it out but the writing is ok but I'm not figuring it out yet. People tell me to keep writing which I do but I have to reel it in at some point and tell a good story and end it well. Maybe I should just say fuck the reader and write whatever I want. End the book abruptly with nuclear acopalypse. Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be.

I went back to my MacBook Pro today from 2009. 15 years old and it still works. Although it's operating system is too old to run barely anything. It does have a working Notes (word processor). I prefer Notes to anything Windows has to offer. I am thinking of transferring my desktop to Linux. Be that kind of nerd. I was a Firefox / DuckDuckGo nerd on my MacBook Pro.

I'm flourishing in a flourish of Byung-Chul Han. The Compulsion Of Authenticity from The Disapearrance of Rituals has to be one of the better chapters he has written.

It really is que sera, sera though. Whatever will be, will be. Makes me want to read Seneca vs. Jesus. Marcus Aurelius Meditations vs any other religious crap. Sometimes things feel overwhelming. It would be nice to believe in faith. Life is not that simple.

OK guys, the last one, it was such a trip to the past for me, all that awareness was too much, unbearable to finish the last one truly, it's 2am here and I kept procrastinating. My goal now is to start new diaries, think of a better system with dates, maybe categories, There is a book on bullet journalling I might follow. Thanks for reading, and or more importantly, to spam LP one last time maybe






2023


I haven't written in a long time, it feels awkward, can I even read what I write? Positivity - I talk less, only when I need to when I have high confidence. Yesterday was too much, my ego is obsessed with people, how I see them, as quotas I make money from. The key is to see people as well, people, if you need them or not! Chew your food, be mindful, and put your knife and fork down. When you feel like eating emotionally, pause, put your hands on your heart and say "I am a good person" and recall one of your amazing positive memories.

When leading people. Be positive and lead by example, talk to people who are negative privately.

I am in the woods, sitting in a gazebo at Cibulka.

To escape reality of life is why everyone does everything - norm macdonald


I might not have before this world, I was well . . . the happiest in Scotland, before I had my PC, I'd run every day, go after girls, it was the best 2 months ever. Russel from Menprovement figured it out, he just upped and left his business, posts scarcely. Try to have 2 weeks without PC, just write, be with people, work out, do silent time and exercise.

When I focus on reality I discover things, like when I discovered a community garden at Zlicin and just sat on the bench there. Ziglar talks about the need for clean language, and positivity. When you are confident there is no need to make people laugh, you can be silent, be present for them. Someone recognised I worked in sales.

Whesto in 1st armada - focus on positivity, surround yourself by amazing people, if bad apples want to leave - let them. You shouldn't be doing video games at all, so when you play them, do them in +EV way! I feel like I need to increase exposure to women - today I saw a skinny Ukrainian lady at the pond, so I went to the pond! amazing! When it comes to women I need to go someone who focuses on the present moment. Tolle: It's normal for Ego to fight back

I went on POBcast, it was cool to talk about disco. My purpose in life is PEOPLE! All your life you were drawn to interactions, Dating, SC:BW, Poker, Sales, Psychology, Laws of human nature, self-help, Goalkeeping, Dota, Dating meetups, and Radical Honesty. You have always been figuring out people! But, often you are afraid of your purpose, the anxiety actually means you care. Live your life, finally. Lean into your purpose, enjoy looking at people! Have that calm energy about you, always act as if you chose this moment. Act as if what happens is on purpose, be a student. You act now, to make your future great..


I did a gym tour in my 4 am wake up phase
- stodulky, barrandov, went to Prokopak valley, had small cherries from the tree, wild ones. The pond is amazing, calming when I breathe under water. You breathe, hold your breath, that's how you focus on silence and presence.

PPL is +EV
- Learn to wake up early
- Listen to +ev on the bus
- work out there
- dance, hypnosis on the way
- learn discipline
- I can act after
- fun when I am rested. Doesn't matter if I am fucked

I would do PPL, then the pond and even the gym! At the gym I accepted my anxiety, ran into it, towards it, listened to Elliot Roe, found a solution, acted hard and travelled to Liberec.

The simple fact is, you don't need to do anything at all to be liked, to feel liked. You definitely don't have to put people down, tell stories that trigger reactions.
You are not only enough, but you can give people the greatest gift of all: the gift of presence, lack of judgement, curiosity.
Sense of awareness and joy as you open yourself to them, create space for them, steer them towards positivity.
on the other hand it's urealistic tothink you can suppress your ego, it's great to find positive creative and constructive workable outlets where you let your ego have it's time in the limelight.

Like making videos, editing, cutting, entertaining people. You got to live with making misfires when you let your ego loose.

Seek moments of presence, pull out the kind, the positive part of your ego when you can. Know that the best way to people is relaxed presence, that invites them to express their deep self.

You have a fantastic gift of empathy, the connections you make are very deep, as you thought about people's feelings all your life. Your ego lives to create this underlying anxiety, puts attachment so much. Games - big attachment, pixels, fears of losing them. I have so many attachments inpoker, I see people bluffing me as an attack on my resources. Constant attachment to how my sessions are going. NL100, can';t let them run me over.

Every sign of tension os an invitation to relax.
Goals + presence = results
Dreams are your brain taking a shit.


Rokytka while playing poker was cool, I felt POWER - working out is vital.

If you build it they will come they say. If I could just figure out The Entertainment I could get people to come to my blog and have high replies and viewership. Although the true Entertainment is so entertaining that people die of dehdration consuming The Entertainment.

Who is there to reply and view? This site certainly is not growing and never will again.

Why don't I stop this and write a novel? Well, novels are bloody difficult to write. I'm not sure I have it in me. I should probably just plan to be white trash at this point. Shoot guns, jerk off to porn, be ignorant. That's way less difficult than writing a novel. I already practice the guitar. I need a studio to paint, blah blah blah. I'm frustrated over here ya know?
