Day 2 down. Great start to the day with a PIO review session and then to the pub:
Had a few beers, a huge chocolate cheesecake, and was ridiculously hyped after the best Arsenal performance for years, so was really struggling to grind. Went for run #2 of the month to refocus:
In the dark and on the beach, so I'm actually pretty happy with my running flow at the moment. I think a bit of 5aside has done wonders for my fitness.
Played a few sessions to reach acceptable volume:
Hand converter still broke so boring hands as I can't anon regs and post their spew
Vs rec:
Vs thing - just completed a chest and was about to sit out, usually guarantee to lose these:
Finally, I need recommendations for a good fiction book. Been reading all non fiction this year but fiction is way more idea after a late session. Re-reading the Alchemist at the moment, but open to anything - remember two years ago I posed same question to PGC and got recommended the Hyperion series which was seriously unreal, so expectations are high.

At least I know now that I am not struggling alone with this leak
Two other things I would note:
1) It's not necessarily optimal to not look at result, I know a lot of top pros who check graph every few minutes as the stress of not knowing is worse. You have to find what works for you. For me, not seeing results is the best way to play each hand objectively, and works as a kind of virtue signalling to myself to stay disciplined.
2)
Imo graphs are the worst of all. Much better to just see ev/bb or even winnings. Graphs just add a narrative - 'I was up 1k and now I only made $500' etc, and just allow you to indulge the noise and swings.

Yes mate, realised I had made more from poker than consulting in the 8 months I was in it, and after the rapid learning at the start I really wasn't taking a ton in self development either, and the bureaucracy was killer. I definitely learnt a ton at the start though and trying to bring some of it to BitB cash plus future ventures with me now - and also a nice lesson to see how the rest of the world lives.
I also hope that playing 30k hands, doing 2 hours of coaching, and having a social life with 50 hour work weeks this year, will keep giving me the drive to not relapse into my old lazy poker self.
