Been playing a little bit of 25nl lately in the evenings on Friday/weekend to stop myself from going out. Lately I get bored on the weekend and my friends convince me to go out and I spend all my money. Stayed in today and found the riddim when there was a few fish about.
^ That is playing 26/21/12 (smd clancy). And below is total giraffe for 25nl reg I have in database. Most of which is during evenings/weekends when games are juicy.
Obviously think I have a pretty decent edge in these games still but with online poker coming to an end in AU and my internet being generally ****ty, I don't think I'll play much more than every so often on the weekend.
In terms of the live poker, haven't played a whole lot lately. The home game I used to play at all the time (made $8k there since start of year playing once a week) got robbed and the owner has decided to end the game. That was by far the best game in Brisbane imo and haven't felt like going back to the horribad casino much.
Savings coming along nicely. And if I can stay in instead of going out and blowing all my dosh on the weekends, I'll be positioned nicely to make the move to Melbourne in a few months.
My boss at work thinks she has me "for life" and when I hinted at the fact I probably won't stick around for too long, she was like "I took a chance on you!" etc etc. The role I do at work is unique in that of the 60+ people who work there every day, I'm the only one who does this particular job. And with that comes a decent amount of training. Like if I were to up and leave, it would be a pretty huge burden on them since they've really only just finished training me - and it's an ongoing process, learning the ins and outs of Oracle. Feel like resigning later in the year is going to be a pretty dog move but gotta do whatcha gotta do I guess.
Anyway, tomorrow I'll be getting up earlyish, taking myself out for breakfast again as a way to congratulate myself for not going out and partying last night (lmao) - I'll probably come home and play some 25 before devising a new diet regime. I'm currently at 105kg (230lb) - have put on maybe 20kg since the start of the thread. Decent muscle and strength gains but far too much fat which can be attributed to overeating - i'm in a massive caloric surplus and starting to get a bit of a gut going. I don't like looking even slightly fat so I'm going to cut back my macros to roughly maintenance, I imagine that'll be about 3200 cals a day.
So I need to sort out meals for the week tomorrow. In the gym I've just started doing GVT, chest/squat+calves/shoulds+arms/deadlift+vmos split and I'm quite enjoying it. May even start jogging to burn a few more cals and get rid of this extra fat.
