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

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!

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?
