If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling
Found this poem the other day on 2+2. Someone posted a link to it on PGC thread I think.
Anyways. Found it really inspiring, and I want to try to live a bit more by those paradigms.
Playing between 100z - 200z and sometimes 500z. Some MTT's too.
Goal is to be a better poker player and person. And I think keeping this thread will help me achieve that. I think if I focus on that good results will follow.
I'll be playing poker half time because Im also studying at the same time. So please dont judge my volume too much. Will try to compensate with good results.
Im always taking shots or risks in spots I think are +ev, so you will definitely get some of those, hopefully they will go well.
Good luck everyone.
Results for last month and a half, played really low volume because I had vacations in between. Feels good to run good when shotting.
