Time Leakage

Darn, where the f**k has my Latino journey gone to : I got barely 2 weeks left to my trip On the + side, this has been an amazing winter, my time here in Latin America (and particularly in Peru) surprisingly surpassing my European stint (while it was the opposite last year) Anyhow, I will engage in 2 dives tomorrow and some snorkelling on Thursday and thus delay taking my PADI again (probably will wait until Australia this winter...) which requires a min of 3 days. The thing is, I am kinda of tired of all the fracking herds of tourists roaming around in these parts and will GTFO of this side of the coast come Friday and head to Merida-El Progreso yo

I wish I had more time for Mexico City, but my present itinerary will leave me with a mere 3 days in the capital, given that my movements will be limited during next week's RR grind. There is still the option of taken 4-6 hours mid-day and hopping on a plane from Merida, I guess... Oh well, we will see...

I have not seen any suspicious activities in the countries I have played. Granted, I did not substantially grind any of these, but mainly used them as a social outlet/form of entertainment. For example, the game in PDC was the equivalent of 0.75-1.50$ blinds, with the BI capped at 350$ (which the floorman ironically called a BIG game ) ; while the one in Lima was slightly bigger (2-5-10$), I would still not bring along more than 1.5k, which remains significantly lower than my normal online grind. But anyhow, the only annoyances I have been exposed to thus far, is soft-collusion (mainly in Asia) where players will check-it-down in HU pots/soft-play each other (the same thing I witnessed happen in the lowstakes Vancouver games). I did suspect certain local VIP players (who get RB from the house to start off games in SEA) to also be sharing action?BRs in short-handed situations vs foreigners. Add to the latter the inexperience of dealers who might over-rake the pot or missread a hand, and that is about it.

I do believe that if you were to play professionally (for example, the 20-40$ game in Lima), you would need to go out of your work to make things work in order to not be asked to politely not come back. Like (substantially) tip more than others, befriend all the staff and perhaps even work part-time with management (promoting, VIP etc.), learn the local dialect etc. I have heard stories of the silent-serious pro type that does not know how to maintain a good game, being denied access to the games.

Another note : a lot of the locals that play, definitely stem from the elite part of society/are themselves expats in first world countries doing 6 month-6 month snow bird thing.

Anyhow, the other night, there was only 2 of us that were foreigners : me and this Israeli fellow sitting to my right. Curiously, we chatted away in Spanish, given that his English was quite weak. Nevertheless, all the dealers/waitresses still approached him in English

Pretty cool that my dive instructor not once switched to English today Well, ok, he did have to translate a word when I had just risen after an hour-long dive ; but in that precise instant, I could of been on the surface of Jupiter, Saturn or floating mid-air on an unknown planet from Andromeda, for all I f**king know (or not)

I have rented a scooter for tomorrow as the plan is to ride along the coast and stop numerous spots for pics and snorkelling yo Good times, good times folks, and then Friday will be a 5h bus ride to Merida, 3-4 days there (got a date with a Colombian chick ), followed by 4-5 days at La Playa El Progreso where I will bink my RR yo

Darn, I am not sure how I feel about going back to Canadian soil so soon... On the upside though, the end of August does signify that I will be embarking on my live tournament grind which will see me play an event every month for 6 months str8 yo, in the tune of Montreal-Dawson-Alberta-Montreal-Paris-Melbourne That alone is pretty exciting or... potentially tilting

How-R-U-How-Goes-Wit-U

Given that I am fracking fed up with tourists and even if most Mexicans do not switch to Spanish when we engage in conversation, I decided to have fun moving forward : no more f**king English Nope. F**k it. I'd rather create awkward situations then to fallback to a language that is clearly not mine

So anyhow, the few times that locals insisted on pursing our interaction en Ingles today, I gave them the confused face , pretended to not understand shyt before saying :

- "Believe it or not, but my Spanish is much better than my English friend. I mean, if you can speak in French, sure, great, but if not, I am sorry, but in Spanish it will have to be "

I have had a few different reactions thus far, from a young lad that was amused and then spewed out a few French words ; to a woman who answered "I only speak very little English" in espanol, perhaps thinking that I was misusing the pronoun "I" for "you speak no English", a mistake commonly made when engaging in a foreign dialect... To the man who thought I was kidding before going in English with a smile on his face while I walked away, a little in shock Unfortunately, I don't have much time left on this touristic coast to put to usage this little game of mine, and I just don't think that many peeps will approach me in English in Merida

What makes you fed up about the tourists, Dub?


I think people just enjoy talking to foreigners in their native language.


I used to have mexican co workers and I would try to talk to them en espanol all the time. Good times and a really welcoming people.


Do you mind if I ask what games you are playing online? NLHE or PLO, HU, 6-max or FR?

I think about traveling a lot and to see a poker player doing it so freely while playing seems very cool.

But to be able to do it means I need a plan.


Run good, Dub.

Up the Coast

There is this interesting distinction in between the connotation of the word Gringo as (negatively) used in Mexico or in Peru (neutral). As (I presume...) we all know, the evolution of languages should be scrutinized in isolation in different parts of the world, as politics, culture and other outside influences will greatly contribute to the direction of this dialect, no matter the origin of the latter. Anyhow, given Mexico's tumulted (to say the least) political history with USA #1, the term Gringo in these parts is tainted with unfavourable stains and is strictly associated with Americans (from the USA, not the Americas), while in Peru it refers (objectively) to any foreigner. I wouldn't say that Mexicans are necessary unfriendly as per se (but they are not overtly welcoming neither), yet I always had this impression that you had to prove yourself to be a non-Gringo as opposed to in Peru, for example, which has been more historically and politically isolated from the US of A then countries like Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvadore, Chile, Cuba, Panama (and the list goes on...).

Anyhow, I am boarding the bus for Merida (and la playa El Progreso, ultimately) where I plan on grinding until next Monday.

Oh man, a lot of questions over here and by the nature of some of these, I suspect that you just have started following this threat, amirite... Anyhow, welcome if this is the case, and here goes!!!

Tourists are fine, but as far as resorts/Holland America Cruise destinations goes, if you are seeking comfort and familiarity, then this will suit you. If you are looking for personal growth, stepping out of your comfort zone and new cultural experiences, then avoid a place like this. And the latter statement goes without getting into the political discussion of economical gentrification, environmental negative impacts and the relocation of whole towns that incur these boats or development of resort areas

That was kind of my point : it takes about 2 words muttered from yours truly in Espanol for my French accent to transpire On a more serious note, locals no longer switch to English when we engage in discussion, and the only ones that persist in Speaking in Ingles, already had their mind set/approached me in English from the getgo with a clear intention (of selling merchandise/offering services) in their mind.

It will be nice to leave this (heavily) touristic area for this exact reason : a few locals here seem jaded (and rightfully so). Also, I love Peruvians so much and have this (instinctive) tendency of comparing both nationalities right now

I play NLHE and PLO midstakes online, 6-max but a ton of HU given I start many tables and do not mind reg-wars.

Man, travelling is the nuts You can get away with spending much less than I do by grinding lowstakes games in SEA, for example. I myself went from hitchhiking/sleeping in the bush-city parks and knowing all the places to get free food and clothes, to living the lowstakes grind in SEA for a few years to now barely looking at my expenses and alternating in between multiple countries/destinations in a year, no matter the distance. Anyhow, thx for following bro

The Calm before the... Whatever

30 minutes before this week's RR kicks in, while I am waiting, chilling on my bed, writing these lines... I have booked a beachside casual and modest AirBnB for this week's grind in Progreso, on the Yucatan coast. Part of me wanted to go north up the coast to places like Campeche while slowly making my way up to the capital, but the combination of time loss in buses combined with checking-in and out of hotels/AirBnB, was not feasible with the demands of the RR's grind. Anyhow, swimming and snorkelling seems like a chill way to relax from the virtual tables yo

Merida is somewhat still on the Gringo trail, but you still go hours of wandering in the city without seeing any tourists, yo That feels like a delight, as benign as it seems

And also : Mexicains over here are much welcoming/friendlier, which I am really happy with Ok, gotta go now, talk to yous soon yo

Just arrived in the beach town of Progreso which, while still catering the cruises on a brief hiatus here, still manages to maintain a a rural Mexican vibe yo It also felt pretty cool to switch it up in different languages with the the Italian fellow (who is married to a Mexican lady) that rents out the AirBnB This flexibility of communicating in multiple languages is such a great tool to possess and one that enhances the experience of travelling/connecting with the locals, me thinks

Even if my Canadian stints have been less exciting over the past couple of years, there is certainly some aspects of the upcoming Great North journey that I am looking forward to ; namely travelling with my Barcelona friend (in either Quebec or NYC) and Mexican lady friend (we will visit numerous towns in the Yukon) Of course, there is also the usual and standard stuff of seeing family and friends and getting back on the live MTT trail yo

My week here will be dedicated to the grind, swimming/snorkelling and a date this WE.

Chaos Theory

The thing about personal narratives, is that they are meant to guide us. To point us in a direction. To establish a cognitive understanding of any situation, of God damn life and to forever chase away that mayhem that menaces to confound us. But here's the thing folks : life is Pure Chaos that originated from an unknown source coincidentally named Bing Bang, from which we eventually evolved No amount of white picketed fences, 9-5 contrived schedules, goals, ambitions, kids and whatnot will sway us from cycling back to this Chaos that fracking threatens to swallow us at every f**king nanosecond

So when I woke up today the narrative that propulsed me forward, was one of riding an 18k upswing yo Life is good, right, the storyline is of climbing the Hill of profits, everything makes sense, the sun is shining outside, kids are playing and bla bla f**king bla But variance is such that you are never safely on an arc towards a safe tangent... Hells no It just all comes crashing down

Of course, even if I lost 4k today and wiped out this week's upswong and hence changed the narrative at hand, it matters little, right, because as human nature dictates it, I simply created a different storyline, went from "Upswing yo", to "still doing good and riding a momentum", both of which are a f**king illusions : we age, narratives are false and at one point, the f**king ground is going to remove itself from under our feet, and no amount of fracking life insurance, passing go or Monopoly Monies is ever going to change that Nonetheless, we wake up in the morning, paint on a smile on our face and ride the illusion of this positive narrative, because who wants to think about the possibility that this beast called VARIANCE might grab you by the legs today, swing you around until the world is spinning like a dizzy madman and release you down-upside-up-fracking-down in tumbles of spirals

Been watching Dark too. Wife and I binged like 17 hours of it.

Amazing.

This just happened around these parts: a young guy randomly swats away a bat, but turns out the bat actually nicked him (bite mark was so small he didn't notice), and bat had rabies, so the guy gets rabies, and dies. Second recorded case of a rabies death here in 95 years.

That's ****ing chaos. Everything else is a walk in the park.

At Week's End

God damn, I don't remember ever having - like fracking EVER - swings like this before. Think waking up in the morning and downswinging for a few thousand in an hour, before skyrocketing up for 5k or so in the evening LIke. Every. Single. Day Part of it is that I have run like complete arse-shyt online for the past year - save a +50k month, which only contributed to the vertiginous nature of my swings and the impression of perpetuity as far as negative variance goes -, so the bad beats sting that much more with a sense of "there we go again ". I actually just filtered my results to exclusively the past 12 calendar months online (at the start of my virtual run bad) and the graph does indeed confirm a subpar hourly of 70$ (compared to my average of 120$) and that outstanding month which constituted 71.4% of my online winnings during this stretch Seen through this prism, I do understand how I am constantly struck with that sense of deja-vu when I get 2 outered or something stoopid

This said, emotional balance is one of my strong suits, so I do remain in the top 10 percentile of non-tilting during this stretch, me thinks. Also, since my Ayahuasca purge, a good deal of shyt was rinsed out and it definitely reflects in my general happiness and tilting levels, but my (slight) impatience is still something to observe moving forward...

So anyhow, I find myself 1st in the RR with under a day to go, but both 2nd and 3rd places are stubborn af and don't seem to want to let me take the day off tomorrow to chill at the beach


No kidding, season 2 was GOAT as can be If you have yet to watch it, I do suggest Utopia, an English tv show that has a similar apocalyptic dark tone, but moves along with a more frantic-manic pace (there are doing an American remake), as opposed to the more deliberated one of Dark.

WOW, that is an intense story friend I thought these kind of over-the-top/death-in-your-face stories only happened in third world countries It did bring back a few times where I literally saw people dying in the streets in places like India and Philippines Traumatizing experiences, to say the least

Sleepish Skies

Woke up this morning only to realize that both 2nd and 3rd places annoying af little pests in the RR were catching up as fast as lightning So I skip morning meditation - a rarity -, head to my working quarters half-asleep, bump my head on a few walls, manage to trip over my sleepy feet still stuck in dreamland, put on my pyjas upside-down, open about 1001 tables of HU and, you know, all that jazz , before proceeding to lose 3k just to maintain my 1k in value separating the first and third places But now that I have finished my week and am about to take it easy for the next 7 days, I could not care less

I think that we, winning poker players, become entitled over time when we start wanting our results to match our EV (when we can accordingly set a realistic WR in the first place, that is ). I mean, sure I just made 2k this week (after RB), have realized 58.3% of my overall equity over the past year online - which is obviously some mind-boggling run bad -, yet still find myself with an hourly that about 99.999$ of the poker population would snap-accept in 2019 : life is f**king good yo

Anyhow, now to fully put into motion the art of digression, let's take a different tangent all together and do a random top 5 list, shall we not

Top 5 destinations that I still want to visit :

- Japan : this is mainly for foodie reasons, although I am sure there is a ton of other stuff to visit there

- Mongolia : Just to name this country along the Trans-Siberean railway (the main purpose of this trip), but to cross the desert of Mongolia-China and observe/dip into the remains of this nomadic lifestyle, would be cool af yo

- Egypt : Not really for this specific country itself, but for the freaking-fracking desert, a GOAT af place to meditate

- Finland : or any other nordic country, really, as my love of the north/low population natural open spaces is unmatched yo

- Argentina/Brazil : Easy choice, but my love for Spanish language and Latino culture remains sky f**king HIGH

Top 5 tv shows :

- Mr Robot : Ehhhhh duh, best f**king show to ever been shown in any of the known multi-verses, come on now

- Westworld : Unlike many peeps, I did not feel let down by season 2 and I expect the next one to remain elite af

- True Detective : Forget season 2-3 that I believe were good-very good, the first season was simply mind-blowing with the performances of McConaughey and Harrelson, the neo-noir tune, the existential and enthralling af dialogues, the pace... Jesus, it is a masterpiece

- Dark : I will go ahead and include it, as season 2 pushed the limits of what sci-fy can bring to tv (no disrespect to Battlestar, SGU) or... absence of limits

- Breaking Bad : this last selection was a bit harder ; sorry The Wire, Battlestar, SGU, GOT... actually, f**k it, gonna go with GOT that managed to bring together fans from all different spheres and produced something with so much depth, great characters, story lines, action scenes (I mean dragons ffs, DRAGONS ) and I loved the last season

Ok, this post is long enuff

Places - Having been up here a bit and w/ a growing Scandi friend group, I would definitely recommend Norway over Finland. Norway got basically all the mountains and dramatic coastline, while Finland is flat as a pancake. I spent a week in Norway and it skyrocketed to the near top of personal favorite wild places I’ve been to (just google “Lofoten, Norway” sometime). The only comparable places that I’ve been to have been the Scottish Highlands or places I have a heavy bias towards (I’m partial to certain ecosystems like swamps).

Japan is awesome, make sure to take time and see the entire country though. Tokyo, while a crazy experience, is pretty meh for me. The country, though, is amazing. And actually if you go south there are some unreal islands you’d never expect are there. My dad was a delta pilot based there so I was lucky to go a few times.

TV - I have been meaning to get into Westworld, actually they were filming s3 in the alley next to my apartment the whole time I was in LA. I want to check out Dark too now

Run better man! I’m somewhere btwn 60-80k below ev on the year haha

I also recommend Patagonia, especially the southern portion of it, if you visit Argentina and/or Chile in the future. The touristic places might be a little bit overcrowded already, but there are still some well protected gems. I’m looking forward to visiting Puerto Williams this summer to do the trek around that area.

On the Go

You know it is time to go back home when you keep losing possessions along the way ; most of the time it is simply my socks, an electronic or other object pulling a Toy Story on me and running/hiding underneath the bed Other times it is crossing security checks in airports/bus stations where my knives/hygiene stuff gets confiscated nonstop I did manage to save my 3 knives - survival tools yo, I would be the last human standing if the plane crashed in the dead middle of nowhere, believe me - by pleading my case in Espanol with the kind OMC fellow But, alas, my charm was lost upon the young lad here at the airport who snatched my sunscreen even after I pleaded that "I am going to fracking die with my vanilla skin in the sun without it" He was not amused

3 days in CDMC before returning home to Frenchland I guess the most exciting stuff to look forward to upon my return in the Great North, is embarking on the tournament grind and meeting/travelling with my Barcelona (NYC-Montreal) and Mexican friends (Yukon). I am also eyeing purchasing an SUV (2017 @ 30k) with the back seats that fold so I can sleep in the back, go camping and/or cross Canada with it

I was hoping some people would chime in with travel suggestions Thx bro and will definitely look into it. BTW, where in Brazil do you live? We should meet up next year.

Duly noted as well, thx I just wrote Finland, but in my mind I was referring to all of the nordic countries, including Greenland and even Antartica. But thx bro, now Norway is #1 on my Scandinavian country list

On Japan, my trip over there would most likely consist of a Vipassana retreat, meeting a classy lady I have been chatting with on-and-off for a couple years now, trying out a few restaurants and now visiting those aforementioned islands

I found sleep 2h earlier then I normally do on Sunday evening Sure, the simple fact of knowing that my week of grinding had come to an end, was a relief in itself, but taking slightly less caffeine intake combined with less hours in front of the screen involved in crushing souls, pouncing flop-turn-river and ocean and trying to top the regs to be the king-of-the-hill, did not substantially increase my heartbeat/stress levels I am certainly looking forward to this imminent future of mine where the anxiety of grinding will be replaced with more writing and volunteer work yo About 1-2 years down the road, if my predictions are correct.

Someone I know closely, has been anxiously waiting for his retirement for literally decades now. I mean, I never heard a fellow despise his job this much - or at least for a 1st world job -, but the benefits and securities provided by his high paying government gig was just to enticing to let go. Until he hurt his back, that is, and was thus forced into semi-retirement for 2 years. The liberty of staying home was a relief at first, but, alas, was sone replaced with depression and restlessness Such is often our lot, right, to fix these goals/dreams at the horizon which are (unknowingly) meant to comfort our daily existential shortcomings... A lot of us overtly embrace these illusions, confound them with reality ; in my case, for having experienced stints of months on end of writing-meditation, I know such is my destiny Of course, I could never be someone who rids himself of work, as I always have projects on the go

I have yet to put on my travel-shoes, stepped aboard the plane, buckled up my seat beat nor blasted through the skies direction Montreal, but here I am nonetheless already contemplating my return to Latin America and how fracking great it will be This trip was amazing It went from a GOAT first month in Lima... to a second one where exhaustion/burnout from the grind settled in... to a 3rd one of travelling around with bouts of sickness/a tough Aya journey that cleansed my inner-self, to feeling light and happy again ... To a month in Mexico that was alright, despite not being over-the-top satisfied with my choice of destinations

Stuff will move fast in La Belle Province as well, as I have a whole bunch of errands to do, a few peeps to see, a (potential) trip to NYC and a cruise for the 50th of my folks in northern Quebec.

I should take it easy for the rest of this week as far the grind goes, but will embark on a mission to win another RR next week yo That's all for now.

Hey man, it was great meeting you in your all too brief stint in CDMX. What were your overall impressions of the city?

I did most of the same trip you did (Cancún, PdC, Valladolid, Mérida) and didn't really enjoy it all that much. I'd say that and Monterrey/Saltillo were my 2 least favorite trips I've been on out of about a dozen so far in México.

If you make it back to CDMX, there are tons of great towns/cities within a couple hours by bus to explore. In particular I think Malinalco and Tepoztlán would be right up your alley. Both are smaller, scenic towns with a huge spiritual vibe.

Good luck on the tournament circuit and hopefully our paths cross again sooner than later.

Cutting it Short

F**k negative variance that is putting hurdles in my 2019 plans to conquer the world... F**k this entitled consumerism attitude that makes customers complain like little fracking shyts on a Saturday afternoon in a Bell customer service centre... Well, that's about it, I got nothing us to whine about

I just started a new RR but given that we are hopping on a week long cruise on Friday, I will be gunning for a modest 3rd place. As far as projections for my imminent run good goes and as much it would be damn fracking time to book a 25k+ month online (despite the small volume cut by family time to come...), I want to save my positive variance for live tournaments I think that I actually use to buy into this idea that both run good and run bad had a finite quantity to use up, and were constituting both ends of an equation that would cancel itself out

Back to the Grind

Back into Canadian society and the first thing that comes to my mind is... we are f**ked Not because of any particular societal behaviour or whatnot, or boring af Trump reporting in the background on CNN (that my dad craves in his disdain for Tronald Dump) ; nope, nope, but moreso for those fracking arctic glaciers that are melting and have just released 10x the CO2 produced worldwide annually. F**K. OUR. LIVES

But the thing is, the blame is not strictly allocated to the rich that over-consume... To the middle class that indulge in 2-3 vehicles per family... To the third world countries that reproduce like bunnies... The responsibility belongs to every God-damn-single-one-of-us, something that is made acutely obvious when you go deep inside into profound meditation or engage in the Ayahuasca realm and you find this inherent - and oh so human - underlined shyt that inhabits every last one of us... But anyhow, enough of this whining and cognitive preaching, right

So I engaged this week's RR with a third position in mind, given that embarking on Friday's cruise on le Fleuve St-Laurent for my folks 50th, would put fracking hurdles in my plans to conquer the virtual world, right ; but here I am, clearly in first place and now contemplating how the wifi will hold up in the Quebecan waters

Well done at keeping your head up despite the variance!

My sister has led a bit of a nomadic life, not staying in one town too long (a few years) before moving on to the next one. Finally started to settle down a few years ago buy actually purchasing a place. But she keeps a mattress permanently in the back of her mid size SUV so she can take off and go literally anywhere at a moments notice (which she often does). I'm a bit jelly of that.
