Binbs, awesome thread - was wondering if you could comment on how going to the gym, losing weight and staying healthy plays a role in your poker game in terms of performance?

Re: Bankroll and Spermcount- Busting both at the same time. Former Midstakes Pro Road to Redemp

Going to the gym and getting in better shape seems to have a positive effect on my happiness overall.

I also feel like I have more energy overall, whereas if I dont go to the gym for a while I feel flat, somewhat low energy.

However, I do not like grinding right after going to the gym. After gym I eat a large meal, which means I just want to relax for a while, maybe take a nap.

I prefer to wake up in the morning and not eat anything and just grind for a few hours. I play my best on an empty stomach.

Re: Bankroll and Spermcount- Busting both at the same time. Former Midstakes Pro Road to Redemp

Quick update on the month before I go to bed.

Looking pretty good, but my focus right now is the 7k I wanna make for my trip to Cambodia, which should be EPIC if I get to go. Need to run good obviously

Edit: I forgot that I had already made 1000£ on a different account that doesnt count as my online roll, so I only need to make 5500$ till the 25th!


Make 5500$ in 7 days: 1935$/5500$

woohoo!!

Month graph:

This is interesting to me because I think I play well on an empty stomach but I am terrible at playing when I wake up.

Do you do much from waking up to playing? Shower, watch tv etc?

If I haven't showered before I do anything I just can't seem to function as human being but I've also had moments playing where my lack of eating causes me to have a massive dip in blood sugar/energy and cause my brain to go weird.

So I'm still trying to find how to set my body up perfectly for a session.

Thoughts/comments?

I wake up, go take a piss. wash my face, brush my teeth and sit down to play. I have lots of water to drink while playing. If Im tired and sleepy, I drink a cup of coffee. This works realy well for me as I dont drink coffee very often. If you drink coffee every day you get a tolerance for it and need more for it work efficiently.

Not sure about blood sugar, but shouldnt your levels be more stable in the morning if you dont eat?

Re: Bankroll and Spermcount- Busting both at the same time. Former Midstakes Pro Road to Redemp

I spent like 1000-1500$ a month here. I know some guys who can easily do it for less, some like to spend more.

The biggest expenses are drinking and eating western food.

Thai food is dirt cheap and you can also get drunk very cheaply if you really want to busto it up.

Chiang Mai however is the cheapest big city in Thailand, that caters to westerners. Bangkok and Phuket are more expensive, both in going out and rent.

Played a session today but hardly any action. Time to go up in the gym and lift the world!!

Todays graph so far.
