Ryan respond to the investors in MP when you are back and settled.

Pmd u thx

what's new whey?

Any update coming whey? Interested to hear how your World Series etc was

+1 itching for some food and chip pron

Just typed a pretty big update on phone but it disappeared saying token expired. Just such a pain without desktop. I replaced the PCI card but now the USB panel shorted out so I need to rewire or replace that. Really should get a new machine but I spent a lot of time/$ building this for gaming a long time ago so have a certain nostalgic attachment I suppose. I'll try to get that done over the weekend and work on a monstrous post recapping some of my tumultuous summer as well as my rather interesting current state of affairs.

Whenever I have a long post in these forums or in other forums (especially when typing them out on the phone), I always do a select all + copy before hitting submit. I've lost a few long posts before and it really is frustrating.

Looking forward to the update!

Or use notepad and copy/paste from there.

What a great read! Makes me wish I'd kept living the Las Vegas grinder life instead of giving in to wife and kids and job

Still no love with the desktop, rewired everything even went into the internal settings but the hard drive got fried off the previous short out haha...wont spin now, my poor computer.

Gonna go ahead and recap some things and go into current situation w/out pictures I suppose then try to get those up later. Have a lot of good pics from the mtts and some good chicks pics going all the way back to EDC.

Summer/WSOP was a pretty big disappointment for me. I feel like I went in too many directions without a solid plan/preparation and ultimately failed to take advantage of any particular area.

Cash was 'ok' especially as far as volume but a few bad runs def kept the stats down more than I'd like. I feel like I played a little too comfortable and didn't aggressively game select the better action higher variance games.

The mtts I ran nearly as bad as probability would allow but I played such a small sample size/few events that the huge -ev down spike really had little chance of ironing out. Will spare most of the details for now but did bust one w/AA to KJ on AT8 flop and brick turn and chopped a big one KK vs K7 on a K high flop. Culminated in busting 3 bullets of Aria WPT 500 bricking 3 flush draw str draws all in w/expected fold equity. I can check later but I think I played maybe $4-5000 in events and only won $1250 in a PHo event...was crushing the event and huge $ up top but lost AK all ins back to back to AQ and I think like 77 or something.

Also disappointing and probably contributing to struggling in other areas is my diet/fitness totally fell off this year. Gained about 8 pounds eating terrible and not exercising over the series and also got sick and even burnt out several times.

All the negativity out of the way I find myself in an interesting situation now. Over the last few years my expenses have crept up incrementally though I don't budget well enough to know entirely why; I don't feel like I live particularly extravagantly. What this means is the last few years my poker revenue has only covered maybe 75-80% of my life expenses and the deficit has come from the $ I horded up when I made much more money years ago. So after a disappointing summer I find myself with the lowest amount of $ in many years and from my conservative opinion not even comfortably rolled for deep 2-5 but not low enough to cause concern or bar playing 2-5.

Rather than being worried I find myself quite motivated. This will be the year I really need to up my game by leaps and bounds and push myself to be more productive with more game selection and a ton of hours. I need to counterbalance that though with work off the tables as well, both poker related and the diet/health issues I addressed earlier.

Should be a pretty intensive and hopefully successful year and I find posting it here helps keeps me motivated and accountable but at the same time I want to keep this thread LvL based content. What I'll probably do is start some sort of progress/stats thread maybe in the goals forum or something in the next few weeks and will link that on here and occasionally link updates. This thread will stay reserved for food/girls/events and all things Vegas which I seriously need to get back involved with after getting really unbalanced lately. Had a good start to last weekend going +$600 and +$900 Fri and Sat 2-5 but then tanking -$1270 on Sunday which pretty much nerfed it.

Should have some fun things happening over the next few months and will get some good pics up soon. I got a pretty sick DSLR camera now but haven't even messed with it much, going forward I want to make a habit of lugging it around with me and working on my skills/quality of pictures.

I'm out of town for a couple days but will be back in action Friday and will make one more attempt with the computer before finding a plan B for pics.

You seem like you'd be a good candidate for the program Matt Berkey (sp) runs. Not sure when they are taking applications again, but maybe worth looking into.

Sorry to hear about the rough summer but your attitude is awesome! I can relate to this mindset and I hope you are about to turn plans into action and into results!

Looking forward to the new thread. It is a good way to keep some accountability by making stuff public and having others or the thought of others knowing keep you on track.

Please do link the new thread with goals and also good luck with the computer. Looking forward to the pictures coming soon...specifically girls and food pictures, in that order.

I would definitely enjoy following a vlog about your life. I know this is a BIG time commitment but if you are lugging around a big camera, maybe get some video and do a weekly vlog. I enjoy some of Trooper's stuff but think yours would be more positive focused and would put the grinder life into better light on YouTube.

The accountability from doing a PG&C thread is an awesome way to stay motivated and on task, great decision buddy!

Thx, ya I like to creep on urs frequently Rossi ...pretty sure I can get pics up this week if I can grab a working Western Digital HD somewhere with an existing windows 7-xp on it.

Forgive my naivete but what/who is a Matt Bernet program?

Sounds like fun doing some video content but if I did any kind of VLogging it would def only be a once or twice a week feature sort of thing that I would just link in here. Couldn't commit to more than that bc done some video editing and I find it pretty tedious/time consuming.

Back in Vegas, given up on computer for now untill i get another so will try to get gf to help me with an update w/pics on iPad so hopefully can work on that this weekend between playing. I've been in gym a lot since getting back just lifting and started rowing (machine) 1km/day and going to work it up towards 3km+, also up about +$900 between a Venetian 1-2 and Bellagio 2-5 session. Sorry boring little update but need to get pics up to get a good post and hopefully find some fun/entertaining things to do around town this week. I know they opened a new strip club not too long ago so may get by there next week for a thorough review...for science and prosperity...

Gah super frustrating still can't post bc aside from it being a pain on iPad, my log in info to my photo hosting acct was on desktop. Does anyone know of an app or anything/anyway to post pics directly from phone on here?

In the meantime I'm going to try to be active on Twitter+Snapchat again while I'm out playing untill I can get things rolling on here again. Follow those @Wheydacheese. Had someone in town last few days so only got in a short session but +$225 and four straight decent winning sessions so hitting stride well on the recommitment...if I can just get myself to up the hours but shouldn't be a problem since I've been really enjoying the game again (easy when you are running hot haha)

Use tapatalk to directly upload to your thread images from your phone/iPad

Thx I'll test that out tomorrow. Miniscule win +$35 at the PHo tonight to keep the streak intact

Big thx to Pure Aggression for hooking it up at Lemongrass tonight. I had actually never been there and the black pepper shrimp I got was pretty good, however he def knew the lay of the land better because I got mega plate envy over his Pineapple fried rice

He asked me some questions in a brief little interview I'll link on here when he puts it up. Hopefully I don't look like a complete ass because I'm not super comfortable on camera but I guess I need to work on that to hopefully start putting out some cool video content soon down the line.

Ok cool this should let me get back to posting w/pics on here even though typing in phones a pain

I think you need to do some additional testing like that first one.

Write an email to yourself on you iPad if it has an external keyboard then copy and paste it
