Planning on getting a good amount of games in today. Going to make another deposit on Merge for today but if I dont start moving forward I wont be making any more deposits for at least a couple weeks. I'm going to be extra careful in selecting what I reg for.

I feel like Saturday's fields are typically soft as a lot of good regs take the day off. Will Merge be kind today

                Fed Merge another $20 and still nothing new. I'm going to take your advice Juice and just keep trying as responsibly as I can. Making super slow progress but I already knew it would be a slow start and tons of work. I have a few bills to pay this week so things are going to continue at snail pace for the time being.

                Today I went to Target and bought food to pack for lunch this entire week. I'm determined to get my spending under control and food is a huge weakness of mine. This week should show huge improvement in that department. Going to make sure I live each day with financial stealth.

                Today
                Plumbing: $0
                Merge: $20
                Revolution: $11
                Expenses: $99
                Total: $130

                Total BR: ~$345

                since start. -$30 on PeekaBOOO (merge) also.





                Hard to believe Merge is real when my lines have never been so bad and I get it in good 99% of the time. Revolution on the other hand has good structures in specific tourneys and feels far more natural. Going to give Merge a bit longer before i give up on building on that network.

                I'm going to start throwing L.A. Fitness sessions in this week after work. Probably ~3days/week. I'm looking to gain at least 20lbs asap. I'm not even sure of my current weight but I'm guessing its ~155'ish and I'm 6'2". I'm going to gain weight damnit!

                As of right now I have no idea were I'm working or what I'm doing tomorrow. Hopefully I find out soon cuz im fkn tired! Definitely going to get in some PXF toinght. I need to start putting a lot more work into my game if I'm going to expect to make anything happen.

                Havnt played any games since last update. Yesterday after work I went for a beer and dinner with the girl from Saturday night. She's cool as ****. We'r gonna continue hanging out, however, I did make it clear im in no shape to get serious with anyone. She made it clear she's still down to have fun. Awesome if you ask me. Tonight I'm gonna run through more pxf. Clotilda (fulltilt) Improved (stars) is such a beast i cant stop watching his viddys.

                Spending will get better and the heater will hit im sure. I'm considering purchasing my own plumbing snake and hustling some side work when I can. obv when my bankroll can handle it. Gonna just play that by ear. I'm already super busy. #aftermymoney

                Nah lol I stopped updating beacause I wasn't playing for a while and bankrolls been stagnant due to all the catchup I've been playing. Nothing much has happened since last post. I did however start grinding again about a week ago so I will more than likely start posting again. Works been goinh really well and within only a few months I've really stepped my game up. Won't be long till I see a raise I'm sure. Just last weekend I blew about $500 on tools and that's really helped too.

                The rolls ~$700

                More updates to come

                That was my brother. He crushed the damn thing and I'm so jely :P And yes his name is very similar to mine. He sure can be a beast when he wants to.

                How you been doin? I Just set up a new office and got both monitors back up so I'll surely be grinding a lot more. Decided I'm going to stay clear of Merge for a lest a while and grind 100% of my volume on Revolution. Will post more on this later.
