VIP Black Room

So after taking a 4k hit online, I decide that enough is enuff and that I need to GTFO of my folk's house, something I had not done since Sunday. So I hesitate in between my cinema shoes (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has a 22:40 showtime) and my live grinding shoes (still dusty, but definitely a fine fit yo ) and ultimately opt for the latter I jump in the shower, make myself somewhat presentable again, slip into the aforementioned poker snickers, go grab 6k from my personal stash in my sister's safe, to then Zoooommm down the Montreal evening highways direction conquer of the God damn fracking World yo

I have my mind set on the touch of the sweet caressing hands of a lovely massage lady while grinding some benign stakes like 5-5 NLHE or something, but when I see my name second on the list (with only one table running) and the alternative being 2-5 - ehhhh FML - or 5-10 PLO, the choice is pretty darn easy, except... It is a private game

The Playground has over 100 poker tables and a single VIP room located in the middle of the casino, with tinted glass windows, a personal hot af blonde dolly waitress, a private bar, treats etc. But like is oftentimes the case in many casinos, you need an invite... So I go talk to the host (a cool guy) and he obliges even after I state that I can only play for 3h

It is a 5-10-20 PLO game, 8 handed, min BI of 2k (no max, obviously), with two clear spots at the table and the rest all pros or semi-pros. The play is not particularly tough, albeit my 4 card game is such that I can easily crush 2-5-10, but consider myself just a small winner at these stakes, unlike a 2 card game, for instance.

Cards are flying, chips are being splashed and pots reach up to 18k preflop (a 3 way all-in), a ton of laughs of being had and when the predetermined deadline of 2am rolls around, I just can't pull myself away from the action at hand, despite my dire need for rest before tomorrow's virtual grind (am first in the RR). And then everything becomes absurd, every single benign joke gets us all loling and the game becomes a 5-10-20-75$ affair (with at times the triple straddle of 250$ ) All in all, it was a fun experience, a much funner grind than your lol standard 2-5 affair


Yeah, the older I am getting, the more I am looking into how I will travel as a more sedentary middle-age man. This SUV should do the trick, along with being a snowbird in SA

Initially I looked into getting another van and then a jeep (4WD), but I believe I will settle for a SUV given that I might be spending more time in Montreal moving forward where the latter might be more convenient... Thx for chiming in folks

Wife and I are doing a Montreal / Quebec City trip in the fall. We're staying with her extended family in Montreal (meh, hope we don't feel too cooped up) but I'm hoping to perhaps get an hour or two at the Playground just to see it and collect a chip, tho not sure if I'll be able to make that happen.

Will be catching a Canadiens / Leafs game (pre-season, but still), so looking forward to that experience.

Island Roundabout

Just got away from the organized tour on les Iles-de-la-Madeleine (GOAT af place ) after tagging along with my folks for 2 days, and hence rented a bicycle for the day (they were out on cars to rent). Anyhow, I will be back seriously on the grind come this WE with a new week-long RR (won last week's one, btw ), followed by WSOPC @ The Playground. So I will not be updating ITT until then, albeit I will be posting in my travel thread in the upcoming days.

@ Fossilkid, I was about to post this in your thread, but did not want to derail it - or perhaps even appear to be somehow throwing some subtle brags, given that I wanted to back my statement with some personal (winning) numbers... Anyhow, I also wanted to shoutout your blog at the same time, and God I hope you keep posting at the same frequency which partially solves the cravings of someone like me who loves to consume 2 + 2 solid blogs

Man, it got really nasty for me as well, last year, with variance almost identical to yours : I went on a 90BI downswing that lasted 2 months, only to make it all back in a single, this is while 6 tabling NLHE and 2 tabling PLO midstakes

I was solid mentally during that stretch, but it has since resulted to basically 10 months of B/E (slight winner) in the past year, only salvaged by 2 months of 50k+, one of them live I wish I could run average all the time, as even my months of 50K feel (existentially) undeserving after getting hit by the deck day-in-and-day-out The human brain is simply not wired to handle all this variance, be it negative or positive, and I mean, I meditate 15h a week ffs, and handle the ups-and-downs then just about anybody I know

edit : it should be noted that I play a ton of HU both in PLO and NL, which obviously increases my variance dramatically.

Yes, I totally agree with this. Obviously downswings are tough, but even upswings can seem to cause a bit of imbalance to our daily mood.

It takes me about 2 months to reach 15 hours of meditation, so I guess it's a bit of a comfort knowing that even someone as experienced as you still struggles with this from time to time. There is always room to improve, especially in the mental game.

Thanks for the shoutout. I will probably settle in to posting once a week, but lately the pokering has been quite interesting, so I've felt compelled to post more.

I'm not sure if I should be horrified or impressed by your variance. Knowing that it can get even more brutal isn't a comforting thought.

Virtual Reality

Les Isles-de-la-Madeleine were simply a mesmerizing delight Am really happy to have discovered beauty in new parts of La Belle Province a la Jacques Cartier, beauty that I thought only existed in western areas of the country like BC or the Yukon Stepping back a few hundred years in time and meeting some Acadiens peeps - AKA francophones that were deported after the English defeated the French and had plans of assimilating/eliminating French language and heritage in America (also idem with the Cajun folks that ended up in Louisiana) - combined with the pleasure of contemplating houses from La Nouvelle France, was quite a treat, especially on a family trip consisting of 11 members But everything must come to an end, right, as it is time to get back to the grind folks

Some of us excel through chaos. If used accordingly, the usage of a hectic environment can be quite conducive to personal growth, a tool that can be ultimately be put to usage for the likes of crushing the game of poker ; who cares about the storm howling at your doorsteps if all is calm inside yo Of course, when not kept within restraints, this eruptive force can unleash demons responsible of tilt or even substance abuse... But that was then, this is now : the grind. Binking a fracking live MTT. A mid 6 digit score. A mission that will commence in 2 weeks and will see itself prolong for the duration 6 months, extending itself across 6 different tournament series


Yup, indeed : if my mental game was definitely a big hurdle years ago, it has become the strongest part of my game, and yet, there is still those rainy days, you know

Live OMCs

So after spending 7 days of exclusive family time upon the cruise , it was time to dust off the live grinding shoes, to breathe in some fresh air, to stop at MEC to get a some outdoorsy stuff and hit the Playground yo

The thing about lowstakes donkaments is... that they are always filled with the same OMC weekend warrior regs You know, the same God damn boring old jokes - my ex wives - that makes a sane soul seriously contemplate shooting oneself in the face... Lord almighty I could not grind live for a living... Then again, I cannot fathom for the life ever going back to the kitchen grind

This said, MTT events are a different beast altogether and the next 6 months will see us bink a mid 6 digit score folks, so let's do this ffs


I guess I am a Quebec noob as well for not knowing that that much beauty is tucked away into Le Fleuve St-Laurent in Les-Isles-de-la-Madeleine

I definitely would recommend to check out Le Playground : I, to this day, remain impressed with how they got everything right and recreated a semblance of poker boom in these parts I also highly recommend a picnic at Le Lac des Castors on top of the Mount Royal on a sunny day.

The Reason Behind my Mask

The thing is, there is always something not right with that perpetual loser that shows up 2-3 times a week to take a beating or forever chase to reproduce that elusive sunrun that happened eons ago... These players - outside of one close lady friend that totally has her shyt together -, are never going to be the most inspiring people in the world. They will be grumpy af. Obnoxious. Compulsive. Addicts. In fact, looking back into the recs I befriended along my pro years, they all have been (small) winning players... For the others, the question always remains : why show up and get your arse handed to you week in and week out

Of course, the answer is quite obvious : something is wrong. Their is this emptiness inside of them that chews them up... Slowly, but surely... As much as I hold love for the many recs I have played with for 12 years+, there is always something wrong...

Just started a new RR and the games were amazing like it was 2011 all over again with the tables populated by a multitude of recs and bad regs yo I actually ran up my profits to north of 4k, but then my AA decided to run into KK AIPF for a 1.5k pot and all that jazz

What's so Funny about Peace, Love and Understanding

"As I walk through this wicked world
Searching for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself is all hope lost
Is there only pain and hatred and misery
And each time I feel like this inside
Just one thing I wanna know
What's So Funny bout Peace, Love, and Understanding oh
What's So Funny bout Peace, Love, and Understanding

As I walk on through troubled times
My spirit gets so down hearted sometimes
So where are the strong who are the trusted
And where is the harmony sweet harmony
Cause each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me want to cry
What's So Funny bout Peace, Love, and Understanding oh
What's So Funny bout Peace, Love, and Understanding"

Legion is just f**king wicked. Otherworldly. Crazy as insanity can be. Twisted like an out of control vortex spinning on its head.

In a cinematographic/tv era where superheroes reign upon all realms, the question arose : would we get anything of quality again stemming from mainstream productions... And then we got The Dark Knight, simply the GOAT movie. Watchmen. Logan. And fracking Legion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SZ3rMMYBLY

Sure season 2 had some bouts of erratic boredom, but season 3 is GOAT af. Think fantasy meets psychedelics meets time travel meets... f**k, I don't know anymore

Legion is honestly one of my favourite TV shows of all time, it is so brilliant and quirky, and just the right amount of weird. Unfortunately, season 3 is not available on Netflix in my region, but I will probably buy whatever streaming service has it just to watch it once it's fully released.

Da Game Conundrum

How many PG & Cs have disappeared over the years... How many aspiring pros, semi-pros, recs with lucrative intentions were left stranded behind in this vast sea of cards... How many castaways, dreams shattered, ambitions unanswered, echoes lost in the salty wind...

Uncountable are the amount of blogs that I have followed over the years that simply ceased to be updated. And then there was the popular blogs on 2 + 2 where the presumed highstakes crusher ends up going back to playing smallstakes or you find out that they were backed/have a slim af BR after all...

These last 2 paragraphs were not meant to ring my own Bells - hells no -, but as a simple reminder to always look at the big picture in the face of variance, of how far I have come, how imminent is my retirement plan yo

But the thing is, as we start making more monies, our expectations surge, our goals skyrocket and then... well, when factoring in that we are probably not the right objective voice to set a realistic hourly to begin with, when we whif on our (grandiose) ambitions, we feel as if we failed, failing to realize that we have become entitled in the process... And then, of course when this storm called Variance comes blowing our way, it just makes the whole adventure that much worse

But such is human nature, right... That failures hurt more than victories... That one who has made it pretty far in a challenging venture, can only be competitive af... All this being said and despite a tough past year (minus one month), I am pretty happy in my life And still manage to brush off the negativity of variance (-7k in the past 48h) and still have 8/10+ Happiness EV days Which is simply f**king outstanding


Man oh man, a few of the episodes of season 3 are GOAT af The thing about this show, is it loosely goes on tangents that can easily leave some viewers (who are less metaphysically inclined, for example) behind ; such was my case during season 2. But then they are some episodes that are soooooooo f**king esthetically pleasing, that it makes more than worthwhile

You're really on to something here, as you usually are. Failure/defeat, hurts much more/deeper, than victory feels good. Humans, myself included (obviously, although I have my inhumane inclinations at times), Once they have felt the depth of that hurt that crushed dreams can bring, can have a range of responses. Two of which I have principally observed, resolve to; never test the waters enough to be that low again, or blind aggression to achieve a height by which only sacrificing everything can achieve. However, In reality the truth, and highest levels of attainment most likely reside within an even balance of efforts and attitude.

Thanks for the prompt to explore my thoughts on the above topic.

Tripping on your Face

Still running worse then a retired obese gent with his shoe laces intertwined while his broken jaw finds solace smacked down on a sidewalk Nonetheless, I feel fracking great yo And the upswing is just around the corner, mark my words

Everything just feels fracking exciting : the upcoming WSOPC, going back to the Yukon, travelling with my lady friend, the ensuing Alberta Deepstacks, Montreal WPT, Paris UO, Aussie Millions, followed by a few weeks in Asia (Japan, BKK perhaps...?) and eventually back to South America. Fracking beautiful, I tell you, fracking beautiful


So if failure feels worse then victory does, losing than winning etc., how in the hells can life logically end up being fulfilled, right, in the wake of this equation... And then you realize that the little moments just transcend the whole logistics, you know... Those sunny summer afternoons spent on the porch, drinking coffee and chatting away and in that moment, everything just makes f**king sense I guess gratitude for life makes up for losing and losing over again in life and ultimately falling prey to the jaws of death Anyways, I just ended up going off on a digression

Thx for chiming in bro and hope all is well

My response to this would be that as we (hopefully) mature and develop the mental side of the game more that what constitutes a "failure" shifts. When we began, maybe dropping 10 buyins might have seemed like the biggest failure in the world b/c games were so easy and we weren't used to being slapped in the face by variance. Maybe now it takes losing 50 buyins in a couple days to view it as a failure.

Our resistance to failure also grows as we grow. Whereas once a downswing might have crushed us and put us in a crap mood for a week, now we are able to accept the lose, go outside for a long walk or take a day off and think about something else and then come back and feel refreshed.

It's a good discussion though. I'd like to think that over the years I've started to experience less big failures and more big victories. Even if my results are the same, my perception of those results has evolved.

The Lonnnnggg Game

Where many noobs lose equity in live MTT's, is in those spots at the end of the day where fatigue takes over... Where the exhaustion of the long haul finally weighs in, merciless... Hence the importance of eating well, meditating adequately, sleeping and... to preserve one's energy. Meaning when it is still the early levels and sure you want to pick up tells/tendencies and whatnot, but it remains important to relax the brain in between hands. Or to zone out in deliberate and punctuated intervals. To maintain. To think long term. Something that the yesteryear Dubnjoy000 refused to do when he was trying to squeeze out all possible equity in every God damn moment And, oh yeah, Melatonin this time around, right 1h Meditation and 5mg will do the trick to crash upon arrival back home at the end of the day this time around


Forgot to post this, but instead of looking to purchase another streaming service, I would advice using a VPN that bypasses the Netflix VPN ban, like Nordvpn, for example : https://www.cloudwards.net/how-to-be...tflix-vpn-ban/

Yup, totally agree with the above. If I let myself on a tangent yesterday without much thinking attached to every word typed - AKA a perfect digression yo -, I concur that it can also come down to an equation. In vipassana retreats, we learn (directly through the meditation technique) to reduce the time where we become prisoners of our defilements : AKA anger, depression, anxiety etc. So if one use to roll in anger for 2h at a time let's say, when he reduces this lapse to 90 minutes, he has decreased his suffering by 1/2h yo Compounded by the fact that the intensity with which he indulges in his temper becomes slightly more mild with practice, and he is now 25-35% more emancipated from this specific misery Of course, if this hypothetical fellow were to continue his practice, he would see this same anger diminish exponentially until it ultimately would fade away, but this would still be (hypothetically) years/1000s of hours of meditation away...

I have told this story before, but I use to be the prime example of a young lad with tilt issues When variance did not go my way, I would pounce the table, convince myself to apply nonstop pressure while failing to realize that I was the prey of my own emotions And then I released this disgusting heavy af physical defilement through deep meditation 4 years ago. It felt amazing And then when I got back to the virtual tables, I noticed that I took beats radically differently I mean, I worked on my mental gradually over the past 2 decades, but after this specific existential discharge - where I almost literally lost consciousness during meditation/had my body shaken in fever for 2h after my liberation -, my WR skyrocketed (tripled up, in fact) and I have never looked back since, WOW

Hey man, passed by to see how it's going
You inspired me to increase my meditation time from 15-20 to 30-45 minutes a day, that was already a pretty nice improvement. But something like " where I almost literally lost consciousness during meditation/had my body shaken in fever for 2h after my liberation " I have never experienced.

Do you have some tips on what techniques I could use rather than none (as I am doing now :P ) to get into touch with my body on a deeper level?

It feels like even after very long sessions I feel very calm, the long-term benefits are pretty obvious to me and therefor I am still disciplined, but all the "exciting" stuff people talk about that are long-term meditator has never happened to me. I am not even waiting for something like that (as that wouldn't work anyway) I am simply wondering what I might be doing differently

Good luck

Thx for following bro and yeah my swings are pretty nasty

Hey man, am doing great, thx for popping back by friend

First of all, I always love to get to hear that this thread has inspired someone to engage (more) on the meditation path. That in itself justifies the time I spend on 2 + 2 Secondly, establishing a schedule relating to meditation/yoga and increasing the time of its daily practice, is tremendous as far as discipline and concentration goes. The results themselves will be sufficient insofar that one will see himself be more calm, focussed, organized etc. and will feel this nabbing sense of missing out when he skips his daily practice. This said, while these changes are tremendously positive, they still fall short of (necessarily) being life altering imho (although they can be as the practice of samadhi or yoga can resolve anxiety issues and prevent one from going the anti-depressive or anti-anxiety pill route...).

Anyhow, in order to rid yourself of deep rooted nasty stuff (that you literally sense when it exits your body/mind), you need to engage the next level : which is where Vipassana comes in. For sure 45 minutes of daily practice has net positive advantages, but one must go deep for 50-100h+ in complete silence to really dig out and ultimately change those engrained behavioural habits. A 10 day Vipassana course teaches you the technique to do so. And also provides you with a teacher, a manager to respond to your questions, a tranquil place to comfortably focus exclusively on your practice, and a guided schedule. Not everyone will manage to release some heavy stuff during their first course, but most (I would estimate at 80%+ from my personal observations/talking to folks afterwards) get A TON from this experience And many feel it is a/THE life changing experience.

I can personally attest that Vipassana not only made me a much better/happier person, but it literally saved me as well Every time I release some heavy stuff, it is one of the greatest feelings ever. And to encounter a Pure Loving Transcendental Spirit (or 2) after 10s of thousands of hours of meditation, is UNPARALLELED - no 2 ways about it, trust me

Ah cool, there is some information online and some options in Berlin to do that, so I will see when I will find time for that.

Already been through psychotherapy, read a lot about psychology and am a big fan of different life concepts and eastern philosophy, so I am very open in that direction. Got rid of bad habits and addictions already so this seems like the next step to really become as self-controlled and self-seeing as possible.

I am usually just a bit careful of people make me believe there is only one path to a certain goal, but I'll let that slip through. Maybe you are right, maybe it is true for us western dudes and maybe you aren't and it doesn't matter anyway

I am happy you got so much out of motivating me, maybe you have now shown me a quicker road to practices that influence my life even more positively

Colossus Task

Sooooooooo, I will attack the live MTT felt with the 330$ Colossus this Friday. The structure for this tournament had me head-scratching and wasn't until I chatted with a buddy that the most +EV approach was made clear... First of all, it is a mil guaranteed, let me repeat that : a million guaranteed for a fracking 330$ event in a non-bracelet (ring) event Can you say REENTRIES yo They also play down to 15% of the field on Day1 (13 Day1s, 4 of them online), hence a cash, so you can imagine the number of bullets fired @ 30 minute blind levels

Anyhow, there is 2 flights per day, so the plan is to only dedicate Friday to this event (barring Day2...), thus late-regging for the first flight (late registration is open ultil level 9, the equivalent of 25bbs), reentering, moving on to the second flight if my bullets come out blank. I am thus allowing myself 4-5 BIs for this event.

Epiphany

After having rushed up the mountain and finding yourself on top as King of the Hill, will you pivot around, look down at the climb up the ranks and feel empty af... Will you wonder about those lost moments that could of been spent contemplating as opposed to forever surpassing yourself... Will it all make sense... Will it be worth it, those fleeting moments forever vanished...

I remember reaching the end of the excellent movie California Split and going "hey, wait, what just happened!?!?! " when the protagonist Bill goes on a rush, makes 6-7 digits in the casino and finds himself completely drained and melancholic by the end of his sunrun... And then it struck me : he feels empty. This dream that he had been chasing for the majority of his (fictional) life, left him completely depleted once attained... And now lacking in purpose.

When you purchase that SUV that you have been dreaming of for a few years, ride it around for a few weeks, show it off, get a few handfuls of compliments and then... and then you are left with a fracking bill to pay for a few years and this emptiness that will only be filled anew with another ephemeral pursuit.

In life, you lose more than you gain... Health, friends along the way, family members and ultimately, your own life... But it is f**king worth it and I don't f**king care : I will bink a tournament and feel that elusive rush of joy before moving on to another dream yo Mark my words

The most important element in approaching these tournaments, will be balance of mind and good sleep.
