So I've decided to try something... writing down daily goals every morning and doing my best to complete them.

Finding my life being a little unbalanced lately after breaking up with my girl, so going to try work on doing something social, healthy and wealth(y) every day.

Day 1:

Healthy Goals:

- Eat well - three meals and no fast food.
Ate good breakfast + lunch, will pick up something healthy on the way to mates house. COMPLETE
- Take vitamins
Complete
- Work out a supplement list for gym
Complete. Ordered a bunch of supplements. Feel ready to get huge now

I've got a cold at the moment so I won't be doing any exercise today.

Wealthy Goals:

- Play at least 2k hands
Didn't look at HEM, stopped my session 300 hands short because I was sure I played enough hands. Oh well - I've fixed hem so I can see how many hands I've done without looking @ profit
- Mark all trouble spots for review after session
Complete
- Don't look at cashier/hem once during session
Complete
- Don't browse 2+2/facebook or anything else during session
Complete

Social Goals:

- Going out with friends tonight for some drinks, I won't be drinking because I'm sick.
Leaving now so... Complete

Other Goals:

- Shower in the morning after breakfast
Complete
- Meditate for 15 minutes
Complete
- Post some interesting hands ITT after session
Complete

Hopefully doing this everyday will help me feel more on track and not aimlessly wandering through life...

Thanks for following guys.

No, I couldn't find accommodation and didn't want to pay ~$1200 to stay there by myself. Originally I had planned to stay at a mates and go out clubbing and stuff but he bailed so I just cancelled.

I'm not really sure about my c/r here... probably spew - I rep very little but he's a nit and doesn't make hero calls. I expect him to fold anything worse than a flush... but problem is I think his range for betting river here is super strong:

re: Dints climb to $1,000,000 and living the good life :D

I didn't bet the flop because when this guy flats my 4b oop I expected him to have aces/kings very often. I didn't expect him to ever fold this flop and there was very little j could barrel if he c/c.

I expect if I cbet this flop the hand would go down like this most of the time:

Flop: c/c or c/r allin
Turn: check check
River: he leads and I fold or he checks and I check back and lose.

He has a very high fold to 4b so when he flats oop alarm bells go off in my head.
