I am the master of my fate

That is, however, not a fair representation of how I've been running the last few days, lol.

So I was to my first BJJ class today. It was really fun and I'll try to go as much as possible. The instructor talked a bit about how you should only compete against yourself, how talent just made things go faster but you can succeed without it and how pride just hurt you. Now a few years ago I would've regarded that as stupid, but he has a point. Yea sure talented people have it easier, so fucking what?

I'm fairly smart but other then that I don't have much in the way of talents. I'm not in good shape and never where, I never did very good in sports and I can't learn languages for shit. I've got some anti-social streaks and my skills in dancing is comparable to a wolf's table manners. Non existing. My skin is pale and except for my natural hair colour there's not much in the way of attractive facial features. I can't grow a decent beard to save my life. Although noting I'm ashamed of either my penis is not big enough to impress anything except possibly fairly inexperienced girls and Asians. Overall I feel that if I'll ever be something of importance or greatness it'll mostly be due to my own hard work. Or possibly just dumb luck. I hadn't thought of it like that before, but it kinda feels good.

Also, since rednalluk doesn't seem to blog I feel that I can post this youtube link he msged me a couple of days ago:

Funny vid, cool theory bout talent/work.

Wow that song is actually good for a spoof :D

Talent is like luck, everyone has some but not always for the important stuff. Work is way more important, same as in poker.

The video made me laugh for 10 minutes.......ROFL.

Thanks (or whatever) for acknowledging my youtube-skills
On another note, I think you might have a small life-leak which is closely linked to a theory in criminology called labelling theory. Obviously not liked to stuff you cant control, but "anti social streaks". (That you're enforcing the image of how you/others perceive you, thereby making it true.)

Btw, that hand is mmm-good (pronounce like the sergant in full metal jacket)

haha saw this video some weeks ago, but couldn't remember the name n stuff, thx ! love it !

This is pretty possible in a positive way, in reverse. As in you can do this with positive thoughts rather than negative ones. For example if you believe to perceive yourself as being confident when talking to girls then girls will pick up on this too and believe you have confidence. You may not acutally have it and could be shitting bricks trying to chat some girl up, but if you make yourself believe you are Mr.Confident, then it will end up being portrayed on to the others.

I think it is important to not over analyze yourself, as you can quickly pickup too many negative points, and forget to look at the positive ones. I guess it depends on mindset.

lol in that PLO hand I think the first reraise is complete and utter spew since your hand blows so much.

Err can't you speak swedish and very good english?

solid blog post

"... When you win this one and still finds out that you're under equity the last couple of thousand hands you feel weird"

hem often screws up the EV in multi-way pots. For example, i was 40%+ to win a 4way all-in and the EV still dropped.

Yea my Swedish is probably better then like 90% of the population (some teachers, writers etc are better) and my English is good but that's due to using it so much. I tried to learn Spanish and German and that blew.

As always Rednalluk is a wise man.

i'm glad i read this.
