I intend to work tomorrow as well. It felt good last week and I am considering increasing my workload to 5 days / week. What do you guys think?

yeah its cool but how about coming over instead and run some simulations together?

I find that I work best alone

Play more poker, buy more gold

Ty for the advise arb.

I worked today and it felt pretty good so I have edited my schedule to include Friday as a work day. Hopefully this is sustainable



I have also included a stretching routine for the weekends, all the hours of grinding online poker are not kind to the posture.

As of a month ago my fwb of two years has moved on. In an effort to find someone new I have downloaded Hinge. In the past, I have had major issues with dating apps distracting me from poker. I would give zero ****s about the game and be checking my phone constantly for messages from girls. Going into downloading apps again I decided that I would only download Hinge after my work day was over around 1am and then delete it before bed time. This has worked fairly well and I have been able to adhere to the schedule without issue, however, I have not been as emotionally invested in poker as I would like to be this month. My mind is too occupied on the matter of my previous and upcoming dates. I have decided that as of right now I will not download a dating app again for a long time and I am posting here to hold myself accountable. I have an active social life outside of women and I believe that I can live a happy and fulfilling lifestyle without sexual intimacy. If I meet someone, I meet someone but I think it is best that it would occur organically. How do dating apps and significant others interact with your poker goals? What would you advise for me?

always crazy distracting, too much dopamine from it, not playing enough when on dating apps, spending more $, less workouts, basically the whole day becomes about chatting/arranging/dating girls even more when you are even half succesful on these apps... -EV but I would recommend to grind it out until you find another fwb, obv you could live a fulfilling lifestyle without sexlife, but why bother when you probably in your peak male years.

think about it one day you cant have these girls that you are having now, age changes alot of stuff, unless obv if highroller and can finance your harem..

best example would be that like when I was 21 I had access to very "top" girls just because I was at their age, athletic and went to alot of partys all the time, meanwhile they might have had some richer older dudes who paid for the lifestyle, i was broke but young and could sleep with them, other guys were 28+ but already making like 100k a year, so i was laughing that I can get the same girl for free while you have to provide certain lifestyle, but the years catch up on you and if you arent succesful, and not as young anymore you lose the access to that tier of girls and have to move down the "stakes", and it goes on by every year, and it's mentally and emotinally hard thing to do. so better get what you can but try to balance it out with building wealth would be the most optimal way.

Agree with poster above but in different words lol. Life is short, dating is fun. Enjoy it while you can. Meet lots of women.

You're disciplined in poker be disciplined when you use the apps and dont let it distract you from your goals. Cutting them out entirely is too extreme. Maybe turn off notifications.

i downloaded tinder when i moved to costa rica because i knew basically zero people here and wanted to learn the language, but yes, I do find it distracting, especially messaging the girls as they will never respond right away so the whole thing is dragged out for days or even weeks before you actually meet up, if at all.

I agree with you guys that it will be more difficult for me to meet girls later in life but I don't really feel the sense of urgency that other single people my age feel to meet someone. I enjoy being single and relations that I have had with girls in the past few years have been sort of a bonus to my lifestyle, not a necessary component of it. As of right now for the future I am uncertain about having a nesting partner, mostly against getting married, and very strongly opposed to having children. I will see how my opinions on that change in the future but for the time being I am happy to magnify my focus on poker and think it would be best that I do not distract myself with apps. However, I do have a date on Saturday so hopefully that goes well. I'll update

You are one horny bastard.

It's interesting bc we learn to play poker w/o emotional investment, in an analytical frame of mind. I'd treat the app games the same and dedicate an allotted time to it then turn off noti's after.

There's something refreshing about meeting a women thru/ irl interactions but I guess you're then shopping at your local Mini-Mart and not Walmart.

update us on your winrate
remembering you as the ultra nit fish at high stakes

don't worry about it

She stood me up

Damn, is that the end of the road sex/dating wise? Packing it in and going full monk?

At least for the near future

In your video ond youtube you seem to look like an introvert
try pick up artist and some coaching from top pick up guys

Which youtube video are you referring to?

I have made a slight edit to the schedule. My workout routine tends to be shorter on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leading to unproductive downtime before poker begins at 4pm. To avoid this downtime I intend to start studying earlier on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I won't be playing Thursday and Friday because I am going to a wedding. Should be fun

Where are you located if you dont mind me asking? What sites are you playing?

I am American and playing on regulated sites

A quick update, I did not follow my schedule last week because there were too many fun social events to attend. Also, I ended up spraining my ankle playing basketball on the 4th so that sort of threw me off for the rest of the weak. I was able to put some volume in on the following days but not at my standard intensity. One other side effect of this week has been that my sleep schedule has shifted to an hour later. I am considering keeping the later schedule because recently there seems to have been good action between 1am-2am. It has been an abnormal week for me but I intend to get back on my rigorous grind starting Monday, only shifted an hour later.
