This blog is only for me as I decided to make some goals in my life that I can reach and that I think can help straighten me out again. Short story - this stems from the fact that in the past 4 weeks I had one magical winning session of 19 buy ins. Ever single other session was a losing one. So if you do not include the 19 buy in session I am on a 65 buy in downswing. So I am quitting poker and figuring out my life.
[ ] Get a job as a waiter
[ ] Get back into going to church every Sunday
[ ] Find car insurance and replace brakes/struts
[ ] Research grants/loans/financial aid for school in fall
[ ] Figure out where I would like to go to school
[ ] Get back into working out 3x a week and be able to bench 280
[ ] Bible reading 3x a week and back to praying every night
[ ] No more smoking weed
[ ] Drinking is fine as long as does not interfere with any goals
[ ] Save up $1500
[ ] Stop smoking cigarettes
I am giving myself 4 months to do this. The timeline comes from the fact that if I average $300-$350 a week as a waiter then it should take about 4 months to save up $1500 while paying $800 a month for expenses. Wish me luck LP as my 18 month poker career is over in 8 days. I just can't take the constant run bad anymore. Eventually I will get back into grinding live but unless I have another magical 19 buy in session to save me again I am done online.
I start my goals tomorrow 1-11-10 and will update this blog on 5-11-10 hopefully I can accomplish everything.

One winning session in the past 30k hands

Every session this past month is the same exact thing. The shortstackers run like God against me. Every time I get an over pair all in vs an under pair they flop a set and then of course I run my under pairs into over pairs and never suck out. If I ever happen to flop a set it either gets rivered or just gets folded to from my cbet. And I can't remember the last time I rivered a straight or flush and got it paid off. |

Wow Nadeem you are an idiot. Dahornnn I was raised in a very spiritual and Christian family. You probably do not see how praying and reading the Bible is going to do anything because you, yourself are not a Christian which I am sorry for. |

I think it's fine that people belive in all sorts of fairy tales, and it's their right =]
If I had to pick a religion for fun, i'd want some buddah shit, since the pro meditation and breathing stuff xD |

Slow down bro, don't be sorry for someone just because he doesn't follow your religion, which is only one of many. |

making this a religious argument is so absolutely pointless. but setting religion aside, i think taking time for meditation / reading could be extremely beneficial in terms of creating a routine, establishing some discipline, etc. i think making sure we take enough time away from poker is so vital. |

Fundamentally, wouldn't you be a pretty crappy person if you DIDN'T feel sorry for people who aren't part of your religion? Sounds rather selfish, if you ask me, to believe that you know/can have the only true way to englightenment/heaven/etc and not share it with others is pretty asinine. Though I in know way am supporting those people who preach on street corners, etc. That's not so much sharing, it just makes people hate you (obv). |
