Chinese >>> Bridge

bridge is fun - most areas will have bridge clubs or something where you can join/observe/learn, imo - or try and find some friends who play, and tell them you and your wife (? - i forget if you're married) want to learn

Looking like I'm gonna hit 3 out of five. I just got to 160 hours today, I'll be writing my tenth blog entry tonight, and I've posted 10 hands. Working out was an epic fail (I'd like to blame it on getting sick, but even if I hadn't I wasn't gonna make it) and as for the 5th one....odds are slim.

15 yrs

Nov goals coming soon

Failed. Oh well, next month: mistakes free!

This, I'm pretty sure, was my worst month ever results-wise: -194 BB over 38 hours at 4/8 (kill) live.

GG that is a pretty awful run there for ya. Nov is right around the corner. You get a Do Over and you still have your JP $ as a nice cushion.

Ya, jackpot (all spent on trailer & tow vehicle, BTW) will ensure me a lifelong winner at poker, mostly due to the fact that there ain't nothing bigger than a 4/8 game in these parts right now and I don't see myself squandering 3937 BB over the rest of my life time at this game.

Actually hit 2.44BB/hr in the last two months playing live. Hit my October goal. Will probably be trying some 20-40 instead 8-16 soon

excellento!

I think I've said this before; but, by way of reminder, each of us gets an alloted number of heart beats. You sure you want to use 'em up working out?

I think tellin' the folks would use fewer of 'em. That way, you see, you go 4/5.

Update.
1. Played 70k hands, bleh. Try harder in Nov.
2. Fail, played 5k hands, ran bad, hated self, decided to grind 100nl.
3. Awesome, walked/jogged 1.5-2.5 miles a day 25 out of 31 days this month, Yay!
4. Decent, I think I posted 3 total hands(out of 4 weeks), so not bad.

So those 10 years of swimming 20,000 yards a week took like 5 years off my life? crap.

i have a question regarding this - hope i am not out of line:

u think its better to multi table on the lower limits than go to the higher levels?

currently i multi table as well (not as much as u do though), trying to go up the limits and in order to succeed i feel like i need to decrease some tables, can u explain your reason in staying at the low limit w so many tables (is it a pure money issue?)
ty.

Should have quit after 85 hours.

With annotations:

October was by far the worst month ive ever had..........NOOOOOOOOOOO

1) Tilt less
2) Play more

E:

wait what.. this isn't November-thread

October went very well from goals and results perspective. While I started out not paying attention and let my meager roll take a big hit playing beyond it's limitations (and the fun with Doug's micro, 100/100/100 experiment) I did settle down and made nice progress on rebuilding my discipline. No tracking but memory tells me that after week 1, only two minor losing sessions, several table changes away from overly tight tables, and about a 100% increase to my bankroll playing several limits online from micros up to 5/10 (limited time here to avoid any major downturns).

Looking for more of the same in November, focusing on keeping my frame of mind when playing. That seems to have made the biggest impact along with constantly monitoring my perceived image at any given table.

Edit to add: I had one session this past weekend with 9 "steals" of the blinds in just over 100 hands on about a 14% "saw the flop" rating on FT.
