To balance the many pictures of girls and fish you should post a picture of your own shrimp sometime (if you have one).

Cheers!

Man you don't want to see that, trust me.

To make use of the new condo we're creating more content, the latest of which are YouTube shorts:

I forgot to link this up correctly:

I think we're now in the second week of the 9:00 PM to 3:00 AM curfew but I can't be sure as I've basically lost track of the time. This curfew is not being all that strictly enforced as many bars are still open and several restaurants still serving alcohol. But having to be home by 9:00 PM is still a pain though as we have to rush through dinner and then spend the rest of the night in the condo. So last night I took the #2 to one of the best sushi spots in town, rushed through the meal and brought her back to the new pad for the night. We did our thing, I worked on the latest blog post for my site then went to sleep. I'm not necessarily looking forward to going to the bars again, but still I'll be glad when the curfew is lifted.

Latest short I shot after some douche called me a fish on 2/4 PLO6 heads up game then left the table:;

One of my better friends here and fellow poker player wanted to motivate himself to get in better shape. So he challenged me to a 30 day prop bet for $1,500 each for a total of $3,000. Here's the official weigh in and discussion of the parameters of the bet:

Isn't this basically a freeroll for you?

Your friend would literally have to starve himself to get there. You on the other hand just have to 1. stop eating late/drinking alcohol for 30 days and 2. work out a little and you're almost there (and you most likely won't lose money if you do neither of those things haha).

meats/organs/eggs only. no carbs, alcohol. Minimal condiments - preferably none. You win in less than a month.

cook foods w butter not vegetable oil (peasant oil). Carrots, broccolis n w/e other **** vegetables are for peasants.

Don't have to exercise. Eat as much as you want. This is the easy way.

Harder, insane but quicker way, Water fast for 10 days. Win.

You'd have to water fast for like 30 days to lose 20 pounds of fat. Maybe the bet is doable if you lose 10 pounds of water weight and 10 pounds of fat.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a freeroll but I suppose I would have the advantage in losing the first 10 pounds or so, being the much heavier person. He really wanted to motivate himself is what he told me. He would probably be happy losing the bet if he ended up losing like 10 pounds.

Yeah no fu*king way I can do the water fast. I was just going to eat vegetables and rice for 30 days

Dude you changed your WhatsApp number. Hit me up in DM.

why wouldn't water weight count?

So the morning routine is to do a 20 minute light jog on the treadmill followed by 10 laps in the pool. Before that I'll start the morning off with a cup of black coffee, having heard that caffeine helps to break down fat when consumed just before exercising. I just finished my laps so now it's off to breakfast, which will consist of a whole apple and a hard boiled egg for some protein. After that I'll fire up the desktop and see who's donating today.

it will count for the purpose of the bet, but its just going to come back on within days

Good start and good luck.

What are the current odds on a push? Id take some action on that. I don't think that other guy is gonna covert and while PT has a lot to work with and great to see the exercise and diet start, this is gonna be a challenge. I hope he converts, not only to win the bet but for his health and all the babes in PP will be stoked AF.

Thanks man, appreciate the encouragement. I've done real well the first couple of days but I had to meet the Koreans tonight so I probably had a couple more shots of soju than I should have. Still I'm under 1,000 net calories for the day, consuming about 1,500 and exercising 800 of it off. Yesterday I consumed 1,200 and worked off about 600 with exercise. I got a girl coming over now so that should burn off a few more.

Nice man, if u could maintain that for a month you would do well. I actually read this over the pizza buffet and probably had 5k calories in one sitting, but you have motivated me and 9/1 I will be starting new diet plan. How the rest of the week go, hope you 1/4th of the way through crushing it.

Thanks man, I'm glad I was able to encourage you. But don't wait until the 1st, just start now as that sort of motivation tends to fade even after just a few days. If you feel it in the moment, just go with it and start.

I finally bought a scale on Saturday, which I believe was 8 days into the bet, and weighed myself before dinner. When this all started I weighed in at 116.8 kg as you can see in the YouTube video I have linked in a previous post. I was shocked to find that I weighed in on Saturday at 112.6 kg, a loss of 4.2 kg. It is now Monday morning and as my trainer friend told me to do I weighed myself as soon as I woke up and took a piss. I now am 110.9 kg and have now lost 5.9 kg of the 9 kg I need to lose for this prop bet. My friend has not weighed himself yet as he is on a 2 week trip to the islands with his girlfriend and he tells me that they have limited food options there. I was thinking of going with him, but am now glad I chose not to go.

My life has completely changed during this diet as I go to sleep by midnight on most nights and wake up by 7:00 AM (I'm currently writing this at 7:45 AM UTC +7). I wake up and generally have a green apple and a hard boiled egg. Then I'll hit the gym and do an hour on the treadmill at about 3 km/hr at an incline of 2-4. Then I'll jump in the pool for an extra 30 minutes to do about 10 laps. I'll come back down to the condo and tend to some agency business then eat lunch which is almost always a tuna fish sandwich with light mayo. For dinner I'll either have a 4oz piece of chicken breast cooked in an air fryer with some spices, or I'll have what I consider a healthy Korean meal. If I go with the latter I'll allow myself 1 bowl of white rice along with some soybean paste tofu soup or Korean curry. I'll also load up on kimchi and nori as the former is low in carbs and the latter high in protein. I'll have a snack in there somewhere, usually another green apple or a bowl of corn flakes. I've cut out most carbs except for the bread in the tuna fish sandwich and sometimes the rice should I eat Korean for dinner. Also I've cut out most liquid calories drinking mostly water and sometimes coke zero. If I need to go out with someone to eat I'll usually go to the Hyatt where they have a nice Salmon lunch, but I'll ask them to replace the potato side with broccoli. I'm meeting some friends for dinner tonight and we're going to a steak house. I plan on ordering a lean tenderloin at 250g, which should be around 500 calories, so I have to limit the rest of the day to 700.

That's been the playbook thus far. Perhaps I'll go more protein or even keto once the bet is over and I settle into a more permanent routine. But this has worked for me thus far so I'll probably stick to something similar for the duration.

I hear you man and thanks for the encouragement, Ive cut back the last few days but going on five day trip to end the month and gonna be some serious food debauchery coming up, but the good news is my fitness is on game and have been great changes with diet lately. I lost 50 lbs the last 4 years but still have a stubborn 20 to go.

Holy chit! 5.9 KG is stunning. I do pounds and 13 lbs in like ten days is amazing. Are your clothes sagging yet, love that feeling. Keep up the great work.

Question that may sounds harsh but I can’t think of another way to say it:

You seem to have a lot of ego attached to your poker skill, even though you’re just beating up fish in soft pools at midstakes, which virtually any average+ poker player can do. You have a ton of pride in being able to do that, I would say that almost everyone who is better, plays higher, and wins more than you has nowhere near the sense of pride about it because they realize it isn’t that hard.

I notice the same thing with girls - you are in here bragging about having a few hookers on the payroll in an exceedingly poor country where hooking for these girls is their best option. You are short, fat, not goodlooking, and would obv have a rly hard time (if at all?) getting a decent girl anywhere if you didn’t have to pay for it, unless you made some changes. BUT you spend every day in here talking about it on a forum, something that most mongerers never care to do.

I that in both of these cases - poker and girls - it is blatantly obvious you are overcompensating in trying to make both seem like more than what they are in order to make yourself feel better about your life. And I think the family stuff doesn’t help, and I think that a lot of your “pessimism” about different topics is actually just a defense mechanism.

Maybe this will come off as mean, but it seems like deep down you think you are not good enough for a “normal” (in this case better) life. I think that if you ever wanted to get a good therapist, dig deep, and realize that you’re just trying to fill a hole in the wrong way, then real healing could begin and you could put all those childish emotions behind you and move onto a better life.

If I have a core group of 5 friends, I'm maybe the 3rd best player. If I include others outside my circle I go down further in the list. I'm a moderate winner and I readily admit every step of the way that I do not play for a living. No one here considers me a crusher, let alone myself. As far as beating up on fish in soft pools, I thought that's what we're supposed to do. Wait let me go and start a blog about earning $3/hour rakeback playing against regs. I don't get to play as much as some others so when I run good I post here and elsewhere because I genuinely feel happy about it.

As far as banging working girls, I'm not even sure what to say here. I came here to hook up with such girls and now I'm doing it and have been for 7 years. I have no issue with who I am nor what I do. I'm perfectly comfortable in my own skin and if I post here a lot about these things it's because I genuinely love my life. I'm sure some that hate on me here will look at your post and get a good chuckle and feel better about themselves for about half a day. For anyone that knows me, for anyone that matters, not a single one would characterize me in the way that you just did.

These are all things you could have sent in a DM but chose to post here instead. So please don't analyze my motivations but rather your own and save your troll of a post made in the guise of concern. I would have more respect for you had you come straight at me. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and do whatever the f*ck I want.
