Litlle update, so far nl5 has been good to me, and i think i might put in a bit more volume so i can move up with a more confortable brm.
I wanted to post some hands too, but everytime i try to copy paste the hh, it gives me error, i dont get it. I was able to post 2 hands before, like 2 months ago or so, and now it just tilts me, anyway...

The goals for this week are:

- 15k hands
- gym 5x
- smoke no more than 1 cigar/day

Hello,

First thread I've subscribed to. Main reasons were: you playing the same stakes, your impressive winrate and a good vibe I catch when reading your posts.
GL! I hope to learn alot (since I'm close to zero experienced with cash games) and eventually contribute to your journey if serious about it

I had not seen this thread

I recommend you other time the book I told you about quitting smok, explain well that nicotine does not leave your body that way, then it is worse than smoking more cigarettes for the mind, because you are suffering from the syndrome for a longer time abstinence (24h). Smoke 1cig/day is just much more difficult than simply not smoking any, even if it does not look like it. In addition it is what you want xD, you will feel much better with yourself and will have more mind space for other things.

I understand what you says about step by step, but for this is a more dificult way and very bad one, bc stop smoking is not about reduce dosis, is more about be really really aware of the **** tobaco is (internal work with yourself), like a clik in mind that give you the force for not smoke more, not for reduce it, this way hardly going to make you not smoke again with same mindset, bc you still do not have the strength to quit smoking if you still smoke that cigarette, need mental strength, really assimilate **** tobaco is, apply it in your life, put tobaco totally out, eliminate nicotine, and be FREE. Not only know what **** it is and reduce dosis without sificient force for directly throw up tobaco, bc this ways (like "my gf does not let me smoke, i go stop" or "first january i put tobaco out" with hangover) by not having enough internal work, and enough conviction, they do not give you a solid base to never return.

I was scared by the people who quitting and returned, I wanted to be totally free in the mind, not live in fear of being able to return. Now I think that people come back bc leave it in a wrong way

Quitting smoking is a crazy great personal experience, enjoy it and dedicate the time it takes to do it right. It's nice experience, but we only want to do it one time in a lifetime xD

Please, do not get upset by my words or see them as something silly, many friends get angry when I talk about it, I just try to help with what helped me, I also reforce my convictions talking about this and also, putting this here can read it more people, not only you, this is why i put this here.

GLLL in all bro, following this <3 <3

Ah, and HH can paste here after click on copy to forum format (hand details, copy to clipboard blue bottom, in PT4), in HEM2 is easy too, don´t remember good but in hand details you find option for select forum format.

Weeks over, so heres an update on it.

Regarding goals set, i managed to get the hands, and almost got the gym goal complete, i didnt went wednesday as my body was screaming for a day off.
The cigars, well... ****.
Poker wise, im managing to get longer sessions, 2 hours straight 9 to 12 tables.
I think for the most part, i did ok, but i did have lack of focus here and there, and also some tilt/donations.
Was also on the wrong side of the flips in more situations than one might expect, so that helped for my bad gameplay. Im working on this on a daily basis, and even though i tilted, i got to stop the session right after when noticed it, wich is an improvement.







And always a pleasure to build a nice stack:

Hello,

Havent updated this in a bit, and also havent spent much time on the web lately, mostly just playing or irl things to take care.
I went through a break even period, where i would constantly fall into the wrong side of the flips, flops, turns and river. Tilted a bit, donate some, fell into just clicking buttons sessions. At the end things turned around, wr restarted to go up again. I splited my roll into 2, now im playing in ACR and also on stars, and ive been taking my shots at nl10. So far so good.

On a cliff note, my SB wr have been funky

Better that than one a day, I smoked some hash shot when I'm partying, then i regret xd

Bad in poker, I played basically nothing cash in these weeks, some mtt, I blocked them lol. I did not want to play cash, Really bad run since i restart play, I'm unmotivated and I feel bad about myself, I'm completely useless in terms of mindset. I'm going to become strong in this sense by rereading The mental game, I also want to start going to the gym and when I do this I will play again zoom 10
Are you playing in stars.es not it? I would like to play the normal tables because they are easier, but I hate the seat me, it depresses me xD
Maybe we see on tables soon, i have same photo

Cmon mate, you can do it, chin up and lets go.
the seat me is annoying, but i prefer having that than playing zoom tbh. Also, playing alongside with fellow portuguese is fun af, ppl berating in chat and cursing in all directions, im enjoying it every bit.
Im on pt, are you able to play on it?
