haha well physical altercations I think should be a last resort response or for self-protection/protecting others imo I think many people are in the same boat if they get mistreated they will try to rationalize/understand why others did that to them. the bottom line is that you should not waste time thinking so much about others who couldn't care less about mistreating you. I'm heading up there tomorrow I'll try to get some for ya

PS Sometimes I post that kinda stuff on snapchat too anyone from this threat can feel free to follow it @walmartcnxn

Thanks for that bud. I think many people can relate it's just not common ground to talk about/discuss because people feel it should be kept to themselves etc. It's so much easier to talk about sports/drinking/poker/women etc than it is to to talk about some of the deeper challenges we face.

The book: I believe it was somewhere in the work of "Coach Corey Wayne" and his book "Understanding Relationships and Becoming a 3% Man". However, check out his youtube channel he's got a really great channel imo for life/dating coaching for men.

That youtube video I was actually referred that vid by a friend a few months ago. Funny enough I have been looking a lot into "intermittent fasting" last few days and it appears that the results and positive effects are endless.

Check this one out:

Yo d00ds,

Had to take the Sunday grind off because:
1) Wanted a little bit of a rest before WSOP tomorrow
2) I took so much sun on the weekend that I look like a lobster and have 0 energy
3) Had food poisoning all day Saturday so was basically drained of life

On the bright side:
1) Feeling rejuvenated and ready to give it my best in Vegas
2) Packed/cleaned/prepared all day
3) Got in 8 episodes of "Bob's Burgers" and various other Netflix shows

The Challenge Update: Well, the week was 100% GTO and I couldn't have spent the week any better imo. As mentioned in a previous post the challenge will be on hold until I come home from WSOP. First responder to this post will receive 25$ for karma and to conclude week 1 of the challenge. Remember to post or pm me your sn and what you are going to use it for self improvement wise.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to come in for a little bit of a post before I head out to Vegas. I'm not going to talk about what needs to be done there or my game plan because it's pretty obvious at this point. Don't be a degen, give my best effort, eat as clean as possible, make EV, have fun along the way. It's funny that the plan is so easy on paper but so many "pros" find every way to fail at the "plan".

What I did want to talk about is this loosely thrown around term that seems to be said by everyone from the kid in the hoodie and sunglasses, to the RIO GTO instructor, to the economics teacher, to a poker enthusiast such as myself. The term I want to talk about is "EV" or "Estimated/Expected Value".

What does it mean? According to a quick Google search it means "a predicted value of a variable, calculated as the sum of all the possible values each multiplied by the probability of its occurrence.

As poker players we quickly learn that subconscious calculations/estimations of EV are crucial to our long term success in the game. EV is so important because poker is a game of incomplete information. You are constantly given puzzles that are much more grey than black and white. So often these puzzles do not have clear answers and require great application of logic and deduction to derive approximate solutions.

Part of the beauty of No Limit Hold'em Tournaments is that the problems we have to solve are so complex that even the brightest minds are still puzzled by some of the intricacies of the game. Not to mention, even the most advanced computers. There are just so many variables that if the weight of one variable in a calculation is miscalculated, the whole EV calculation can be completely wrong.

Here's an example: Poker Dolt John says "oh yeah, I'd jam that it's +EV". I hear this all the time but it's the wrong way to look at the problem. For example you can be dealt AA with a 30BB stack and open jamming will ALWAYS show a +EV profit in the long term. However, min raising might show substantially more profit, or maybe limping, or 2.5x ing, or 4x ing, or 2.15x ing. What if "Live Reg Vladimir" is in the BB? What if Fedor is on the button? What if button has 3 bet 2 of our last 5 opens?

What I'm trying to get at is that these calculations are almost never black and white that often it would be ignorant to claim there is a solution. If PioSolver tells you it's optimal line, it does not mean it is even close to optimal in game. Remember in 2010 when A2o was a standard rip from the cutoff with 25BBs? Remember when a guy got flamed for defending J6s on the 2p2 forums to a BTN open? The bottom line is that this game is ever evolving and the most optimal plays are often impossible to solve, but the solutions are changing based on the population's response. All we can do is make the most of the incomplete information given, work hard to study, and make our best educated decisions.

The good news about EV in life is that the most +EV choice is often blatantly obvious, we just struggle to make the right choice. Coca Cola has been linked/proven to heaps of long term negative health effects. Certain vegetable juices have been linked to positive health improvements. Why is Coca Cola the number one selling drink on the planet?

The answer is easy. The Human Condition. We look to satisfy our short term pleasure especially when the consequences are not in the short term. Businesses such as McDonalds and CocaCola have exploited the human condition to make billions.

Thankfully, life EV choices are much easier than poker EV choices...they're just much more difficult to execute.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways. That's all I got for now. By the way I sort of got the idea for this post out of this awesome article I found by Bitb:https://bitb-staking.com/is-it-useful/

Will try to update as much as I can in Vegas. Wish you all the best!

Glgl in Vegas boss.

Great post, really enjoyed it, glgl

Was a couple years ago but last time I stayed there I was paying like $60/night for gold coast. $100/night doesn't seem that awful though and anywhere else is gonna be more expensive. Gold coast is clean and safe, don't think I'd wanna stay at any sketchy properties just to save $20-$30/night.

tyty the 25 is yours. just let me sn/what ur doing with it for self improvement.

ty

yeah cheers for the recommendation. I'm pretty happy with the place and it's basically all I need as far as close to RIO+safe/clean+some good food options. working on the staff to try and get me some type of discount but its tough without gambling a heap

I'll give a quick Vegas update as I just woke up and gonna be looking to eat/register some tourney soon:

-Settled in and everything @ hotel. Pretty happy with it thus far
-Have found a couple reasonable food options. @ restaurant in resort there's a dish that is chicken breast w/ some jack daniels bbq sauce and 2 sides (ive been getting brocoli and mashed potatoes w/ water or coffee to drink). Also @ RIO poker kitchen u can get chicken teriyaki w/ vegetables and rice or theres also a place for quick burritos too.
-Overall decent imo and much better than burgers and fries or RIO dogs (which ive spent the 7.50 on already once ahha)
-Poker wise I finished 38th/1300 in the daily 200, and got 8th place in the 365 nightly turbo. Running pretty trash deep in these things but meh, surely had to run good to get that deep

There's really not a whole lot to write home about if anything. Gonna keep out here on the grind. Best of luck y'all!

Yeah I like the teriyaki for dinner, super quick and pretty good. Also the smoothies from All American Dave out back are great, or if you don't mind the price you could do one of their plans.

On that no sleep grind but jus' know we out here grindin'.

Took 2nd in the RIO daily for ~21k USD yesterday (250$). Got sun run by a moron hu when the ladder was ~13k or something. However, I did run really well the whole tournament.

It's been a week in Vegas now and I'm really starting to feel drained of energy. Just not sleeping that well, had at least 2 drinks on most of the days now, and the overall heat and atmosphere/living in a casino etc is getting to me. Hopefully pop some melatonin shortly after this post and get a good slumber before the 1500 bounty WSOP event tomorrow.

To be honest there was very seldom hands where I was put in a tough spot in that whole run. Basically just running over fish the whole time and running pure when I needed to.

Here's one hand that was somewhat interesting. BB was 60k I open AJo off 26bb stack to 125k. Asian fish reg girl calls cutoff and BB defends.

I'm relatively new and readless on the girl other than seeing her play one pot in which I assumed she was fos.

Flop is 633r I c bet 60k, she raises to 140k. BB folds. I tank for a bit and decide to jam just because I think she is fos here and potentially folds a better hand that she is protection raising. But yeah, mostly just felt like she rarely has strong hands here (I block her traps and she called v quickly pre leading me to think he doesnt have like AA or JJ very often at all)

She tank folds and told me she folded JJ which i think is 100% a lie as I held J+she didn't show the hand when she folded but still wanted to tell me. Pretty sure she just got caught with her hands in the ccookie jar as she also did later in the tournament...but that's another story for another time.

GN and GL

Nice score! Gl the rest of the series. What ABI do you play online?

tyty. I haven't looked at my sharkscope for say the last ~12 months of grinding or whatever. I'd say over my whole career my ABI might be ~12$ (I did a lot of micro grinding), within the last 12 months I'd guess it's closer to ~25$. I generally don't play that high

-----------------------------------------------------

Hey guys,

Today was absolutely withered and I'm ready to hit the hay. It's really frustrating when blastoises get the best of you by taking the most ridiculous lines. Ie call a 3 bet OOP with J7o and x/c flop, x/c turn over bet, and then open jam river etc...on the bright side these kind of players are the ones who have put food on my table for the past 5 years.

I also didn't really feel like I played my A game. Not sure why but maybe sleep schedule and getting drained from this degen lifestyle are starting to get to me. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day.


I don't want to tell this whole story but long story short yesterday there was an incident in one of my hands in which the floor was called and the floor sided with me. The opposing player started saying racist comments towards the dealer/calling me uneducated etc. After only a couple racist remarks I told the guy racism isn't acceptable on the table and he needs to calm down. He said something else and then I called over the floor and they only gave him a warning. (Racism should be 0 tolerance policy imo).

A few hands later the player was all in for a relatively small portion of my stack so I made a minor spite call and sucked him out. The dealer was saying he was really happy I did that and came to me afterwards and thanked me for sticking up for him etc.

It's funny how a simple card game (and this one was pretty small stakes) can bring out the worst in people. I'll be the first to admit that I've taken personal shots at people in the game before or criticized their play. It's sometimes very easy to get out of line when emotions are rampant. It's also important to remember that this is only a card game and treating our competitors with respect and being honorable is half of winning itself.

Money comes and goes but when it's all said and done you don't take money or anything to the grave. It's all temporary. Being a good competitor and treating others well and with respect is a trait that you can't put a price tag on.

Bought these tennis shoes for €20!
Thanks man!

Grats on the score. That is a nice start of the Vegas trip! How much are you planning to spend on buyins in total?

^Cheers man hope you put em to good use and get out there on the courts!

----------------------

Lost my third bullet today in the 600 Goliath and really feel like I'm over this place. Have been half drunkenly looking for flights home on Thursday as my hotel is only booked until Thursday morning. Here's a few of the hands that were pretty fkn annoying last 3 bullets:

1) Open AQ in EP, 4 ways to flop. Flop is A83r, i c bet 1/3 pot and other guy in EP just elects to jam with 77. I snap. Other 2 people fold. River 7.

2) 2nd hand at new table and I have roughly 160k @ BB 2400. All I've seen from the villain is that he opened J7o from the cutoff and lost the pot. Didn't see how or anything. He opens cutoff to 8000, I call BB QJo. Flop is Q24, he bets 15k, i call. Turn is 6 bring a flush draw. He snap jams about 45k. Idk I should prob fold here and when he was all in he got up from table and started walking around etc. If anything this made me want to fold more but I still got sucked in by his AA

3) Open 53ss from the cutoff to 5k. SB defends off roughly 60k stack. BB folds. Flop is A32 with 1 spade. I elect to go for a small c bet for value and protection. Apparently he has a xr range here and makes it 11k. I call. Turn is a 5 and he quickly moves all in for roughly 35k. I deduce that he has almost 0 4x and maybe he is over valuing Ax etc and he shouldnt really have a stronger hand than me here. Anyways, yeah he had 44 exactly. WP genius.

The more tilting part is how he started giving me the speech about how he knew I didn't have an A etc... (cuz yeah, I just cant have an A when there's one on the board right?) It's so difficult to just take the high road and withhold correcting him or trying to teach him etc. Like really tilting.

So yeah. I hope I'll feel better in the morning or feel motivation to grind out here for another week or something. Maybe it's just best to follow the old traditional gambling advice: "quit while you're ahead."

Well guys, unless I come back for the Main Event, this is going to be the post that wraps up WSOP 2018 for me.

First of all I want to say I'm thankful for the opportunity to get out here this year and play the game I love. Grinding at the WSOP is something that a lot of people only have in their dreams and was once upon a time a dream of me as an 18 year old kid. I've been blessed in poker to have had the run good and opportunity to live the stuff I could have only dreamed of years ago. It feels really good knowing that I've grinded my ass off the last 2 weeks and leaving with a nice chunk of change in my pocket.

That being said, yet again, Vegas has gotten to me and it's time to leave and take some time away from poker. I've decided to take the month of July off just to focus on my health and happiness. I might allow myself to play Sundays but we'll see. A 1 month break from the game will be very beneficial for my cortisol levels and will also bring a lot of reflection/relaxation time. A relationship with a family member or a good friend is always more important than anything in poker. It's time to start demonstrating that.

I just dusted off 200$ in about 12 hands of 20$ bet blackjack. The intention was to kill a few hours before bed and have a few drinks but the session lasted only about 15 minutes and no drink service came by the table. So with lack of better things to do, I decided to come in for a ramble here.

Yesterday I was playing a tournament that had a heap of runners compared to the usual numbers for that specific venue. Not to mention the rake was also ~25%. The cocktail service was quite slow and it took ~45 minutes per round. Eventually the cocktail waitress showed up at our table while I was in the middle of a hand. I said "Can I get a coffee with cream and I'll take a water too." I didn't have any rude intentions as I was focused on the hand I was in. "PLEASE?" she exclaimed. IMO she was super out of line here. I was going to say Thank you after she responded etc.

Anyways, the whole tipping culture in North America is flawed. All the poker players have stacks of 1's$ stacked to the ceiling to get handed a bottle of water off a tray and are so horny to tip the 23 year old waitress. What ever happened to just being a valuable customer to the venue and getting treated with respect regardless if you tip or not? The staff wages heavily depending on tips is obviously a big reason but good service should be the standard to paying guests.

Meanwhile there is staff in the casinos such as the guy scrubbing toilets and cleaning bathrooms and nobody says **** to him unless the soap runs out or whatever...just stuff they take for granted. Nobody feels bad about not tipping that guy?

Anyways, I'm playing 2/5 @ the RIO today when I notice the guy to my left goes out of his way to tip a staff member who was picking up garbage in the poker room. I told him that was a nice gesture of him and he started to go on about how poker players are such dirt bags etc. and how he tries to give us a good rep.

A few hands later this hand happens:

I open A8ss from the cutoff to 20$. Player described above calls the BTN. SB raises to 70$. I call, BTN calls. FLOP: QTss3x. SB checks, I check, BTN moves all in for ~290$ which was roughly 1.2x pot. SB folds and I deduce that he can have J9/KJ or worse flush draws+I have nut outs/I'm virtually priced in anyways. He ends up having KQ and I hit my flush.

You can tell he's pretty angry and is trying to hold back comments. He can't help himself and goes "DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU HAVE A BETTER HAND THAN THE BIG BLIND RAISING?" among a few other passive aggressive comments.

First of all this is obviously pretty lol as if the only factor about calling a 3 bet IP is whether or not your hand is likely to be better than the 3 bettors.

I wanted to demonstrate how this player only minutes earlier was acting like a nice guy and telling me about how scummy poker players are. After a little bit of misfortune his own moral guidelines never stopped him from refraining from berating me for a play.

This leads me to the number one thing I learned in Vegas this year: Even the smallest stakes of money can lead people to quickly break their own moral boundaries. When push comes to shove it's so important to take the high road. On a few occasions this trip I definitely did not take the high road. Many times I did but anything less than 100% is unacceptable and I'm going to work on that going forward.

Thanks for reading and hope y'all are crushing. Time for some time off

sup fam?

Just got in from a weekend filled with swimming, drinking, and lounging in the sun. Needless to say I've only played 1 or 2 online sessions in the past ~3 weeks and I'm feeling like parlaying the the time off the online grind into taking the month of July off (except for maybe some Sunday grinds).

Partly want the time off because I want to improve balance and partly because I've grinded for years now without an extended break. The cortisol levels and information overload during long sessions really gives the body and mind a beating. Maybe the break will only last 2 weeks or something depending how bored I get but I do want to limit myself to 1-2 sessions per week. July is a beautiful month here and I want to take the time to appreciate/enjoy others things in life outside of poker (and maybe allow some of my mindset, hormones, and other natural stuff to get back to their normal levels).

---------------------------

Challenge Stuff:

As promised this will begin again starting tomorrow. It will be a 3 month challenge. I will award 25$ to one person per week for following the thread. The only condition is that they put the 25$ towards something that improves themselves or others. Maybe it can be a gym membership, some healthy meals, a training site, etc etc. I'd love to hear some creative stuff. If I ever fail my goals I will donate 25$ for each time I fail. My goals are:
-4 workouts per week.
-1 hike per week in nature
-30 minute jog if I am unable to reach a gym
-Follow Tim Ferriss' version of the slow-carb diet
-1 post in here before every Monday

As I said before I'll be happy if I can get out of this thing only spending 25$ per week. I am likely going to Barcelona for Stars stuff there I will be modifying the challenge for that week if it happens.
------------------------------------------------

Pretty sure I've talked about this in previous years but I wanted to talk about a topic that is very important to everyday life. Figured I'll kick things off with this:

You may notice as you walk down a busy area of any major city in North America several homeless people on the streets. Perhaps they are there because they are beaten down from drug addiction, mental health problems, abuse from their families, debt, or maybe even just by choice. Often these people lack nutrition, shelter, money, hygiene, and much more. Most people just look away from these people in disgust or out of lack of care. Occasionally, someone will give them a few coins or maybe something to eat.

I'm not here to talk about the ethics of homelessness or anything about homelessness at all. However, I do view homelessness as a microcosm of the concept of scarcity, the opposite of abundance. It's tough because when a person is in scarcity they are often at the bottom of a pit that is very difficult to climb out of. They are often their most vulnerable and in need of help but people are the least likely to willingly give it to them. People are likely only to help out of good will because they perceive their time and effort will not be met with value. A person in deep scarcity often does not have much of value to give. Ie giving a homeless person 10$ is just a net loss of 10$ most of the time. That homeless person will likely never pay you back/see you again/or remember you giving them the $ (not always though).

Paradoxically, when a person is in abundance and in the least need for help, people want to give them more. People view people in abundance of having great value and they believe extending their reach to them will yield value in the long run (because the person in abundance has everything to offer). I notice this all the time in the poker community when a 5$ ABI small stakes reg reaches out to people the best players often ignore them or charge high amounts for coaching etc. However, I see some of the elite poker/wealth guys that I know get platters of stuff/favours thrown their way...people are more attracted to them and want to work their way into their circles and get a piece of their success.

It's fairly obvious as to why people are more inclined to help people in abundance and how abundance breeds abundance. They say it's harder to get a loan for 1M$ than 10M$. I always tried to reach out to players better than me a few years ago in poker but nobody ever gave me ****. When I started getting some results then those same people started reaching out to me to be friends/review hands etc.

Anyways, scarcity breeds scarcity and abundance breeds abundance. Think of seeing the 10/10 girl in the bar, every guy wants to go home with her and every girl wants to befriend her. People are buying her drinks and hitting her up left and right. This girl has so much choice and selection in the bar that she will naturally embody the traits of a very attractive human because she is in such high demand. Her confidence will get pumped all night because of all of the validation and therefore making her more attractive. See how the vicious cycle works?

To the contrary, think of the guy in scarcity in the bar. This guy has very little confidence because of lack of reference experience and results. People do not go out of their way for this guy because they perceive he has little value to bring to them. This guy may have extreme value to bring to a business or might be an amazing person, but in the context of the bar and visuals he appears to have very little to offer. It's very easy for this type of guy to be in perpetual scarcity.

Now let's picture this same guy who meets co-worker Jenny and they start dating. "Steve" has very little experience dating and instead of enjoying his relationship and making the most of it he is scared of "losing it". Due to the nature of Steve being in scarcity Jenny might lose respect for him and realize that she holds all of the cards in the relationship and all of a sudden the once mutually beneficial relationship becomes a one sided tug of war where one person will always get their way. Steve might make every compromise because he knows Jenny could easily go find another guy if she leaves and he fears being lonely forever.

This happens with both girls and guys and often leads to extreme toxicity in their relationships causing stress and anxiety for both people and making them far worse off during and after their relationship. Not only does it happen in relationships it also happens in workspaces, friendships, backing agreements, and almost everywhere.

That's why it's so important to get yourself into a position of abundance in life so that you can have choice. By working on yourself and becoming a high value person you will attract the same and have a lot of options. So many people settle for jobs and relationships out of scarcity and it often ends in stress, divorce, quitting, firing, or whatever other negative consequence you can think of. Making decisions out of abundance and selection is so much better than making them out of fear/scarcity/or being forced to.

There is a good quote I don't remember who it's by or exactly how it goes but it's something like: "I used to think finding an amazing relationship was about constantly searching for the perfect match. I eventually realized that finding an amazing relationship was about having an amazing relationship with myself and becoming the person that I would want to date."


Anyways guys, that's all I got for now. Hopefully that rant made sense and everything. One day I'll put a little more than 20 minutes into writing one of these things and make it a little better of a read. However, I'm a lazy sleep deprived guy atm. Best of luck to you all and it's time for some R and R

Always like reading your ramblings. Gl with the challenge!

Just take your rest. I was grinding without break from October to May and I was in pretty bad mental state because in that time span i was in really bad downswing and had breakup and what not else. I was overall depressed even when I came back from downswing and started making money after 6months+. Then I took rest a month from online grinding may/june, did some traveling and oh boy it did wonders - I'm enjoying every session atm. It just made me realise how important taking break is.

"I used to think finding an amazing relationship was about constantly searching for the perfect match. I eventually realized that finding an amazing relationship was about having an amazing relationship with myself and becoming the person that I would want to date."

I think its from the book of how to be 3% man?

Anyway great post again

I’ll try to do a proper reply to this as there’s loads of points I want to reply to. For now I’ll just say big +1 to the bit about balance/relationships. I strongly believe that unless we focus on being the best version of ourselves we can be you’ll struggle to be truly happy with your lot. An anecdotal example would be how much easier it seems to be to pull on nights out when you’re in a relationship (not actually pulling, but you can tell when a girls into you) and it’s mainly due to confidence imo. Since you’re not after anything you’re just much more relaxed, confident etc and present a much better version of you.

Enjoy the time off in July.

appreciate dat!

100% agree. I've only had 1 or 2 1 month breaks from poker in the last 5-6 years which is crazy to think about. so much more important aspects of life than poker although it doesnt seem like it all the time

cheers man. I believe it was said by Neil Strauss but can't be 100% sure lol.

for sure. a guy who has an abundance with women won't give off needy vibes when in a social setting. he can just be himself and enjoy which is a really attractive quality in the first place. sorta like someone who has a lot of money or career options etc they are the buyer in the buyer/seller dynamic whereas most people are stuck in the position of "selling themselves" all the time.

I'm a little bit ****ed up atm hopefully that made sense thx for ur post

Hey guys as mentioned above I'm a little bit ****ed up right now. As promised I won't let that stop me from making the weekly post. I do have to be up in a few hours to travel to a local live tourney so I'm gonna do my best to keep this one short and condensed because I need those zzzzz's. I took the week off (except for Sunday) to just chill and help out with work at my parent's cottage. Didn't spend any time on poker and had minimal internet connection and access to cell phone. Not sure if coincidental or w/e but I feel really happy right now and just in an overall positive mindset.

Had so much time alone with my thoughts this week and a lot of really valuable stuff crossed through my mind. Actually thought a lot about what I wanted to put in this post for this week. Unfortunately, not in the greatest state atm to be writing but will try. This thought actually came to me when I was also in a "performance enhanced state". Anyways did a lot of deep thinking and reflection and this post is gonna be about a few of those thoughts. Not sure where I got this anecdotal story from or if I just thought of it on my own but pretty sure heard it somewhere.

"A young and ambitious hustler had a business idea that he was convinced could make him millions of $. The main problem was that he did not have enough $ to his name to get the business up and running. The young hustler decided to reach out to some of the more wealthy people he knew for some advice and possible funding for his venture. He met with an extremely wealthy and successful businessman who listened to his business pitch. The young man at the end of the pitch asked for a sum of money explaining how this would mean the world to him and he could give anything in return. The old business man explains how he is willing to help but he also explains that the young man can't give him what he wants in return. The old man explains that he is running out of time and that is all he wants back.Time is the most valuable asset and he has very little of it left. No amount of money in the world could buy him more time or the ability to be young again.

When you are young you often feel like you are poor in assets. Just remember that being young and having time on your side is the most valuable asset one can have.


I decided to just tell this little anecdotal story because it really hit me this week (as if it never did before right?) about how fast time has been flying. After reminiscing with some friends over the "good ole days" as kids or whatever it baffles me how 26 years have flown by. It seems like just yesterday I was learning how to skate, my first day of high school, my first 1/2 session at the casino, my first beer, or my first anything. Here I am now and my hockey career is 10 years over, I've long since graduated high school and uni, I've probably hit my 10k hours mark with poker, and have probably downed a few thousand beers by now.

Looking back it's like where the fk did all the time go? Maybe there's a few regrets along the way, people I mistreated, bad decisions I made, hands I misplayed, or whatever man. The bottom line is time has flying and how you spend it is everything.

I really thought about it this week how inefficient I've been and really frowned upon myself for not enjoying every moment of my life. The sad part about it is that we only get one kick at this can and every moment we don't make the most of or enjoy we can never get it back. If you think about how many dreams went to die in the cemetery, how many people in there never got to say the things they wanted to, never got to do the things they wanted to do, never got to be the people they wanted to be...I've said it before but everyday we're one day closer to joining those people.

How we choose to treat others, how we choose to spend our time, how we choose to live is all in our power. Time is ticking...


Thanks for reading guys. Like I said I'm 2 sheets to the wind atm so that might not have made a lot of sense haha. I did think a lot about a good post for this week but time and coherence are not permitting. Will save a really good rant for next week's post.


*25$ challenge to first responder. GLGL

Hey bud. I think i saw you deeprun in a game (bb44?) how is online going ?
Chears !

OP excellent post about abundance mentality. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

26 is not old at all. You are literally just coming into your prime as a man. Id love to go back to 26
