See? No lie, here is my January
This is becoming a pattern... I started January 12+tabling because of the PS Sale, and ended the month with a loss of $200, taking me to break even with RB. I was tired almost always when playing poker and I stopped enjoying it at the end. I shall not multitable, stars are just evil.
I have also bought a 'Secrets of 100% healthy people' book and found out that I have seriously imbalanced blood sugar levels (The symptoms of which are weight gain, waking up tired, being tired in the afternoon and need for caffeine or something sweet after meals).
I will try out the low GL diet recommended in the book, its seems very simple and very realistic. Unfortunately that also means cutting caffeine completely - god help me.
One of the patterns of healthy people was also spirituality (mind over body baby -.-), and this coincidentally intersects what Tommy Angelo was advising for poker players. Apparently the chemical reactions triggered by bad feelings get stored in your brain and recalled when the situation repeats. Makes a lot of sense with when you look at kids not burdened by negative emotions at all and then you look at the angry grandma on the bus - the negative emotional stuff just keeps adding up and often prevents rationality.
So I booked me and my girlfriend for a 5 hour introductory session to meditation next Saturday, should be fun.
Februrary goals:
Go ahead with the low GL diet, Play 4 tables at least 50% of the time, 6 tables the rest and I am allowed to masstable only in last 5 days if my SN will be in trouble. Get some sweat sessions going again. No monetary goals.
Long term goal remains the same: $10k BR by the beginning of September,$20/hour winrate, be physically and emotionally fit to play 7-10 hour sessions with 5-10 minute breaks on a regular basis 4 days per week while studying 3 days per week for 9 hours each day.

what's the low GL diet? I've also been waking up really tired (even with like 8 or 9 hours of sleep) and i'm usually tired in the afternoon (will sometimes take like a 1 or 2 hr nap) also the craving something sweet after meals is like dead on.
if u want to discuss hands sometime or sweat eachother i'd be down for that but I don't know how the timing would work out with you being in the uk. |

Maybe biased, but according to the Leatherass book, should never go over 80/20 (Where playing is 80%.) Something to maybe think about.
Interesting that we have a lot of the same similar approaches. Last week I have been studying some training books, been writing my programs, have listed all the things I'm going to eat.
Really like a simple approach when it comes to food, I've found a list of all the best protein food, and a list of all the best carbohydrates. And each meal you need 1 portion of proteins, one of carbo, and you just mix them, and a meal should be about the size of a clenched fist. Eat every 2nd or 3rd hour, total of 6 meals a day. And the exercise program I've started is 6 days a week.
Pretty psyched, I'm mainly doing it to get sick in poker, although poker results have been skyrocketing for me in January. up 1350e on 20nl, and some friends got so impressed they staked me for 100nl, and there i'm up 25bi. Things really improving, going to try working harder and harder, so I keep improving, don't want any of it to be a heater or a fluke =]
Gl with ur meditation class, I haven't taken it that far, but I've watched/read a lot of the extra material in Angelo's site, + I've gotten some of the books, reading the Eckhart Tolle books now as well (The Power Of Now.) Among a few other things lol (Easy game, Treat poker like a buisniss and Body for life.)
Oh, sorry for the rant =] |
