^^^Probably not one of my gimmick accounts, since there's regret involved.

Lol.....n1

I was away from live poker for awhile and started getting back into it in Dec. I'm back to the grind and the forums. Rapini knows me irl.

Oh unbanned I see.

Have you been banned or deleted irl by rapini?

No, not yet. He's a good guy irl.

Sorry TJ, Not trying to derail your thread.

Big Head and I tried to play guess Rapini the other night at the 4/8 limit tables






Lol this guy....STFU Zoltan

Did you win?

You should be ashamed of yourself. Unbelievable.

Not sure what's come over me but I might be at an all time high production wise right now. I wake up around 8, study poker for a half hour, go for a 2.5 mile walk, eat breakfast while watching an episode of Shark Tank, go to the gym, eat lunch, study for another half hour, get to the casino at 1-2 and stay until midnight then go home and read a non-poker book til I knock out. Repeat next day. I modify this a bit when my gf is in town but I still am able to be productive because she works with me as well. Don't know how long I can keep this routine up without burning out but we will find out.

Rounding into form for this summer. Not gonna let a repeat of last summer's debacle happen. Have a webinar with Jared Tendler tomorrow to get mentally sharp before I leave for the west coast next Wednesday. Probably gonna throw some summer goals into this thread before I leave.

Good to hear you are firing on all cylinders. What is the most intriguing study content you've come across recently?

*Live At the Bike episodes with Limon commentating. I just watch with a yellow legal pad and scribble down the little nuggets of wisdom he drops all episode long.

*Thinking Poker Podcast. They just had a really solid episode about the idea of how to get better at poker and how to study actually.

*CLP stuff. Sometimes it's good to go back and fine tune the basics.

*2p2 threads like limons 2k post and DGAF's thread. I took like 9 pages worth of notes in a marble notebook on limons thread alone.

*Skype session reviews with my friend going over spots I have issues with.

If you're ever "bored" as a pro poker player I feel sorry for you because there is endless amounts of good information out there that you can use to improve your game.

gf is a poker player? your main game still 2/5 these days or you still grinding tourneys? gl out in vegas

Thanks for the recommendations!

Thanks for reading man. Good luck at the tables.

Probably could be. Lemme know if you're gonna be out west at all this summer.

She has a real job in DC and plays on weekends. 2/5 main game and game select the 5/T which has been pretty awful but picking up steam lately. Gonna play 5/T in Vegas. Haven't played many tourney's lately. Gonna play like ~10 while I'm out west between bracelet events, Planet Hollywood series and daily deep stacks most likely.

Had a weight loss bet where I had to be 220lbs on 6/1/16 after being 240lbs on 4/18. We binked today:


Also wanted to share a phrase/mantra I found out about like a month ago that's really helped me in pretty much all aspects of life. Nick Saban adopted it for the Alabama Football program last season after they took a surprising loss to Ole Miss and bounced back to win the National Championship and it's super simple and awesome.

"So what, now what?"

You can pretty much ask yourself this at any moment you find yourself in, whether you're emotionally super high, super low, or somewhere in between. Just made a deep run in the tournament? So what, now what? Just got it in with a set vs top pair on the flop and he went runner runner flush for stacks? So what, now what? It's also totally applicable outside of poker. It really helps me focus on the next task ahead instead of either basking in what I just accomplished or sulking in something bad that just happened to me. Just thought I'd share it in here because I think a couple people might find it useful.

Thats pretty cool. Might try to push myself to use that.

2016 WSOP Goals
[ ] 320 hours of poker
[ ] Phone on airplane mode when playing
[ ] Get my first WSOP cash
[ ] Lift 3x per week
[ ] 10k steps per day on pedometer
[ ] Have fun on non poker days

After last year, I want to leave Vegas this summer knowing I gave it my all and was completely focused at the table with no electronic distractions.

About to fire up Colossus 1B for the first shot at glory of the summer.

Did I tell you about mine? How about feely, has he mentioned his WSOP cash(es)?

Hours goal will be hard to reach for sure because I don't play cash after busting out of a tournament in the same day. Instead I've been watching MTT training videos after busting out and I can really feel my game improving. Really discovering some great concepts that I'm adding to my game that I've never thought of before because I never got MTT coaching and I'm from a cash background.

Haven't played much cash at all out here really. Think I have under ten hours cash this summer lol. Been mashing tournaments cuz I got the fever right now. Haven't taken a day off yet. Leaving for SD tomorrow to spend a week there.

Took 27th (out of like 1330 runners) in the PH 600k guarantee last night for $3.7k. Second cash of the summer so far. Sucks to come so close to a six figure score multiple times and come up short but I'm sure if I keep getting deep I'll take one down eventually.

One time let the Cavs win and force randy to buy me dinner
