You are fun to play against man, GL 2018!

since i tried out something new and loved it here s two of my new favourite recipes:

blakkman08's Goulash soup:

ingredients:


650g-800g of roughly cubed beef
250g mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 whole green celery thingy (not the root). chopped
3 medium sized white onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
500g tomato puree
1 cube of stock
3 medium sized carrots, sliced
2 bell peppers, chopped
1.5 tea spoons black pepper
1 table spoon sweet paprika powder
salt, oregano to taste
2-4 table spoons vegetable oil of any kind

prepare all ingredients first (that goes for any cooking really, as starting out without prepping just fks up the entire process and becomes overly hasty unneccessarily. that said the mushrooms can wait till last)

1- heat a big pot/wok on high heat till oil is sizzly when touched by spatula

2- fry the meat till its nicely browned (possibly turn down rom max heat to 80% as to not burn it), take out and set aside

3- throw in onions, celery, carrot and stir fry

4- add garlic and bell pepper and keep stir frying

5- add back in the meat and mix up nicely so it takes in the flavor

6- add cube of stock, the tomato puree and water so that the entire mix is covered slightly, stir up, bring to boil, add spices to taste and cover with lid. Let simmer for 45min on low heat, stiring rarely

7- add mushrooms and keep simmering for 15 minutes. meat should be super soft when this is done. if soup turns thick, add water

8- enjoy


another one is my dad's own classic nigerian Jolof rice. its a rice meat mix which is easy to cook in big quantity but i dont wanna clutter this post with too many recipes so gonna keep it at one for now. lemme know if anybody actually ends up cooking this as its one of my all time favourite things to cookand i pretty much came up with this recipe myself.

i m pretty okay at keeping track of progress in the gym myself so gonna refrain from using apps for now but thanks for the suggestion, i use hotkeys on stars, party caption on party, holdem manager 2 and a quick trigger finger not much, mainly click around the old school way. wouldnt say plaiyng more than 12 is to be recommended for almost anybody but the most crazy ppl in this game, its taken many years to be able to maintain brain function having this many decisions to make. i d recommend focussing on playing good poker and consciously keepiung track of time spent not thinking while playing. goal should be to minimize that by adding decisions (tables)

pff u abandon us and haff the gall to make requests. gtfo i say!
ayyyyyyyyyy
haha thats a nice thing to hear (could also be massive insult tho )

so month is over so i guess i ll make a month wrapup and restart updates starting tomorrow. makes more sense than updating based on week end imo

given i m restarting the goal tracker its hard to evaluate the volume/frequency goals i set but i m currently on pace to hit all of them

i ve been to the gym twice sicne coming back and will go again on either friday or satruday to hit that. cooked one meal and havent ordered anything, had outside breakfast twice and likely gonna hit 3 or stay at 2 for the week. havent smoked weed since coming back although i did when visiting berlin which was sort of a letdwon but i forsaw that happening so didnt include in original goals. no sweets or junk food eaten yet, but havent made a salad yet either, gonna try and buy some veggies tomorrow.

pokerwise i ve picked up my computer and luckily for the one session i ve so far played it worked liek a treat. the session itself was very enjoyable, did end up playing 20 tables for 2 more hours than i really wanted, gotta try and skip more 30$ mtts, thats def a work in progress. funnily enough i won the two lowest buyin mtts i played yesterday to make some nice profit lol. every time i make goals these things try and drag me back down but i wont let it happen. had one of the most ridiculous misclicks yesterday that was insanely expensive:

i 3bet pre and wanted to bet around quarter pot

made a small little typo for 41bb deep in a timbey thats supposed to be my day saver 2nd vs 1st fml. obv gott ank jammed on and almost made the tilt call but thought better of it and the poker gods above nodded in approval and let me take it down anyway:




month overall due to the aforementioned lack in motivation and weed smoking and all that bs has been my lowest volume month ever, but at least lookign back i can say that the few sessions i played i played with high focus and good quality. had a nice few cheeky wins in there and am up nicely since i decided to stop bumming around, but couldnt quite overcome the downer from early on. some nice volume days coming up and i m looking forward to those.






will still do mondayly updates as i initially intended just figured monthly ones dont hurt either. peace

you close timbeys now? wtf

enjoyed the previous threads even tho I never posted in them , hopefully 2018 treats you well .

subbed (obv)

long time reader of your threads, subbed.

gl with ur 18 goals.. and more pics of food experiments pls, also if possible a pic of your cooking grindstation.

Wow completely missed this thread somehow.

gl brotha!

I'd recommend cutting out the weed mate, it's so -ev for poker and life imo.

Oh sorry it was not meant as an insult, i respect your game a lot! I have a few moments/hands with you deep in tournies from at least last 2 years

Keep crushing 2018 man, see you at the tables

Solid goals. I too struggle with getting out of bed right away. It's for sure a tough skill to master, but if you can train your brain to do it, I'm sure you'll learn to crush other things in life way easier.

i like vanilla tasting protein shakes aftrer a workout so its actually a struggle atm to go back to the old shtty one i have since summer

yea think so too, one step at a time

RE: getting up straight away.

There are a lot of apps to help with this. some more gimmicky than others, but there was one I saw which was a good idea.

Basically, your alarm goes off and the only way to stop the alarm is to take a photo which matches a pre defined image.

For example: to switch the alarm off you have to take a photo of a vase in the bathroom. Hence forcing you to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom ASAP.

could be useful.

If it sounds of interest I could dig out the name of it.

That sounds awesome tbh. Please post it here/pm me

just get urself a nicotine and caffeine addiction and ur set

Pretty sure it was called Kiwake.

haha amazing thank you for that

Vanilla protein confirmed the nuts.

Just put phone with alarm in the bathroom to begin with imo, works just as well and has the added benefit that you can't use he phone when trying to sleep.

Haha that’s also not a bad one

Agreed!

Sup boys time for a weekly update.

This weeks was shyte!

Cya

.....


Seriously though I failed on many fronts which is really sad considering last week’s nailing of all the goals. Think it’s not all too terrible though bc I managed to figure some important things out about myself

Recap:

Happy with this one. Dragged my dead ass to gym Monday night and enjoyed the two other workouts, hiring personal bests in most exercises (not all time but since being adult )
I mean... didn’t leave the house much so yea
See above
This one really tilted me as this week had some amazing timbeys and I missed most of them. Only played Sunday and got slaughtered. Probably on my lifetime biggest downswing in poker now but somehow feeing okay mostly because I ve been reviewing my play, maintaining all he table count goals I set and understanding that if u don’t run deep u can’t make money. Gonna keep plugging away. Pretty impressed that I still enjoy every single session I play ever since the downer started. Speaks volumes really

Did a review and watched three videos
FML
Realized after a day in the spa with the gf that thorough relaxation gets me to enjoy the best sleep ive ever had. Prob gonna make spa a biweekly thing going forward especially during times when I downswing or am otherwise not 100% there emotionally.

Overall week doesn’t look all that bad anymore just wish I had played more poker really.

Goals for this week:

- play 3 sessions
- Gym 3 times (hit new pb)
- Cook 3 lunches
- Eat 5 breakys at home
- GET VANILLA PROTEIN POWDER

Thanks for reading and holla

spa/sauna type retreats def confirmed nut recovery options in mid-europe especially during the cold months. super convenient source of happiness and relaxation when the world outside lacks light and warmth.

btw look into the promotions your place offers if you want to make this a habit. most places have pretty good deals for frequent customers. the thing where i used to go in germany had a prepaid vip-card , where you basically had to deposit like 300EUR on their card once and then got 25% discount on every visit.

yea def thinking about getting a 10x pass for mine. first time i d consider going again is next weekend, will decide this week.
