GRINDED MY WAY TO UP +1BI AFTER A 7K HAND SESSION. SLEEP NOW
Today is the best day of my life, please listen to my story.
I woke up and was naked, unsure of what the fuck happened and very curious as to whether i was victorious. I took 21 shots last night! I drank an entire fifth of jager + 4 shots of some nasty ass tequila, i had no idea that there was only 18 shots in a fifth... that's a joke. As i said though, i woke up and asked someone who spent the night if i did it and he said "yeah man, you took 22, great" I fist pumped and laughed as i jollily walked drunk through my house. I instantly decided that the day can only be topped off with steak, so for the two lucky people that spent the night at my house i went to the store and bought 3 steaks and a forty and cooked steak + mashed potatoes. Then I talked those 2 people into going to the casino and I turned like $20 at a blackjack table into a HUGE stack of chips ($300+) and lost it all when the dealer changed to someone who is in my family who i was "positive" couldn't "fuck" me LOL. I bet 4 times, each time doubling my bet and lost it all in 4 hands, LOL, he fucked me. I bought beer at every store we went by, one store wouldn't sell me beer because i was "too drunk" LOL. They said "happy birthday, but i can't sell you beer, you're wasted" LOL.
my life is a goddamn mess, i don't know what the fuck but today was undoubtedly the best day of my life.
i feel miserable. congested, sneezing a lot, and the alka-seltzer isn't working!!!
I wish i felt better.
It sucks because yesterday i literally thought to myself "Man, i haven't been sick in a while. I should enjoy my health and be thankful!"
...irony can suck my balls.
Cant believe the Vikings lost. They played like fucking shit and still lost by 3 in OT. 6 fumbles? 3 in the redzone? We should've won by ATLEAST 3 touchdowns. So depressing.. Would've been great to watch Brett Favre smash faggot ass Peyton Manning in the superbowl. So sad, Adrian couldnt even hold on to the football, he made some good plays late but it wasnt enough ahhhhhhhh. so fucking raged.
Hihi everyone! This is only a brag and not really a big update, mainly cause I dont have much to update about. Im not playing alot of poker at all these days, just when I have the time and feel like it and those two rarely corrolate I feel. Anyways I noticed I had 450 bucks sitting on stars today so I registered for the sunday mill and the 50k hu trying to kill some time. Lol-busted out of the million but went deep in the 50k HU, faced a bunch of random donkeys and eventually shipped the thing for 14k.
All is well in the world. Im really happy luckboxing yet another donkament, however, today or tomorrow I will know the results on the latest big exam I took in early januari and naturally this donkament win makes me kinda uneasy. The lord giveth and all that. owell, run good one time.

So I've been playing poker for the last 16 months or so, but never ever encountered such a big downswing during that period... My confidence in my game now is like zero. I wonder if such things happens once in a while and are considered standard or im doing something wrong...
any thoughts appriciated

I'm the type of person that puts a lot of emphasis on motivation. You read those stories about sports or musical prodigies who just seemed to have been born with that knack for whatever they were doing and surely enough they became successful. Growing up I was weak, not that good at basketball, found refuge in playing video games all day, and generally just did not have any talents or was never fated to be good at anything in particular. Overall I struggle with my future prospects, mostly with regards to this game and how my work ethic and skill directly correlates with how much I can make. Many times though it's really hard. Naturally I have some motivators that I try to keep in mind every waking day, here are some I'd like to share.
1. By far my favorite quote, even though I don't listen to much Lupe.
(Line starts at 3:22 in yt link) "Just the freedom was better than breathin they said"
Kick push is a song on the first level about skating etc. but on the 2nd level is actually about grinding (or specifically drug dealing). The line represents what I want in life, to be able to be "free" due to my exploits, instead of doing the normal thing and going to school, starting at an entry-level job, etc. "breathing"
2. Chris Paul http://chrispaulfans.com/files/2008/12/chris-paul-4.jpg
Chris Paul is the most talented player in the NBA imo. He's a stand up guy, plays his heart out, but it sucks that he has a terrible team. It doesn't help that people like Rajon Rondo who just luckbox their way into playing with some of this generations best players antagonize Chris Paul for never being able to get a ring (at least in his current situation). I have a CP3 jersey hanging above my bed, and everyday I wake up it's a reminder for me to try my absolute hardest, no matter my circumstances.
3. Young Jeezy http://www.studentsoftheworld.info/sites/sport/img/26894_young-jeezy.jpg
Jeezy raps a lot about the drug grind. Jeezy isn't my favorite rapper and is far from being on the same level of greatness as e.g. Tupac, but I like what he writes about which relates heavily to the poker grind. A lot of what he says is a reminder for me that the ends justify the means. "I say I grind like there's 10 of me, I swear to god there's just one of me,
Look I know I ain't there yet, just know that I'm gonna be" - Hustlaz Ambition
4. Conan O'Brien http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2009/01/conan_obrien_la.jpg
If you've been following the drama as of late then you'd understand. I don't want to write too much but for those who know what I'm talking about, you'll know that Conan is a great person, who prides of his work and has ridiculous passion for what he does. So much, that he'd rather step down than let higher ups tarnish the name of his work. Watching Johnny Carson as a kid, he had a dream to be the host of The Tonight Show, and through decades of work he finally made it there. "Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and are kind, amazing things will happen. I'm telling you, amazing things will happen." - From his final speech on the Tonight Show, just a couple days ago. "Fall down. Make a mess. Break something occasionally. Know that your mistakes are your own unique way of getting to where you need to be. And remember that the story is never over." - Harvard Commencement Speech in 2000
All I really want to do by DustySwedeDude, January 24
[I don't want to straight-face you
Race or chase you, track or trace you
Or disgrace you or displace you
Or define you or confine you
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you]
Lady Luck has finally returned to me. Well today she left me for a while to go have fun with the pool guy, but over she's been very good to me this month. I've also, finally, learned to play decently pf in omaha which really pays off and I've also started to own some souls:
Showdown trallovitz shows,
Hero shows,
Hero wins $1619.00 USD from main pot
But to be fair that guy won a few bi off me, ironically when I actually flopped or turned good. And yes, I know that call is marginal, and it's not something I have to have in my game to be profitable, but you need to trust your reads sometimes.
Had a real good time last night playing some 10€ tournaments with some friends. I think I won one and got 4th in one, missplayed one hand really bad though. I keep forgetting that I should probably try to make sure that people have fun rather then winning money when the first prize is like 50€, heh.
Started watching true blood this morning too, it seems fairly cool. Little bit weird but whatever, I'm a sucker for vampires (pun intended) in culture. I also like southern accent's and pretty blond girls in white tight T-shirts. Although, if I had to pick I'd change her hair colour.
As for music I've listened to The Byrds a lot. Their Dylan covers are really cool. The song mentioned above, "all I really want to do" is nice but I still don't really get what Dylan or the Birds tries to say with it. My best guess is that it isn't about some girl or whatever, but rather something Dylan sang to as a tribute to some genre or whatever he happened to get hung up with at the time and then the Birds just said "whatever" and rerecorded it for ratings. And it sure as hell wasn't about Lady Luck, but it sure felt that way when I heard it after my first little heater after 2 months of losing money like a sex addict at a hooker convention. The times they are a-changin' are one of my favorite songs, and The Byrds version are decent. Mr. Tambourine man can't be fucked up to badly either, at least not if you sing it with some feeling.
Also bought some Yoga-stuff. I want to get limber as hell. BJJ is so fun but I feel that "out of shape, limber as a pine and without much coordination to speak of" probably couldn't be a description of a good BJJ-practitioner, so I simply have to do something about that.
