I need motivation!!!
Until recently I was one of the hardest working self motivated guys I know. I have lived and breathed poker since I went pro a few years back. I was comfortably beating the highest stakes on Ignition and then midway through the year I took 4 months off to travel Europe.
Travelling Europe was easily the best time of my life but since I've returned to Australia I have struggled to get back in the groove. This month in particular has been really bad and I even struggle to get out of bed some days, just laying around depressed.
Enough is enough. Time to stop feeling sorry for myself. I got talked into trying out PokerMaster at the start of September and when I've played I've crushed. I started putting in decent volume last month but then started partying again too much. I've played 71 minutes of Poker this month.
I know I can easily pull myself out of this slump. I just need some kind of routine and I'm going to use this thread to keep myself accountable. Goal is to be fit and healthy again, firing on all cylinders, before I fly to Melbourne for Aussie Millions at the start of next year.
Goals for this week :
- Gym 3 times (This will increase but I did squats today so wont be able to walk for a few days)
- Poker every day remaining (Not setting volume goals yet)
- No alcohol consumption
- No Valium, Xanax or Serequil (I abuse these when i cant sleep but it makes things worse long term)
- No sugar consumption other than fruit (I'm not overweight but I eat junk food when depressed and I feel like the sugar clogs up my brain)
$1000 FREEROLL FOR ANYBODY THAT POSTS IN THE THREAD BEFORE MONDAY!!
Just kidding im no baller like 6bet but I'll raffle $50 if I fail any of my goals.
Peace and good luck at the tables

Day 1 got off to a good start. First off I completely rekt my legs at the gym. I can already hardly walk and tomorrow will be worse!
Played 4.5 hours of poker over 2 seperate sessions and booked a win which was nice. Stuck to 4 tables for most of the day. Sometimes it gets a bit slow but I feel like my winrate more than doubles when i keep the table number low. I also find it more enjoyable keeping track of all the hands happening I'm not involved in and really exploiting my opponents. Also studied for around 45 minutes after i was done playing.
Only downside to yesterday was I couldn't get to sleep last night. I ended up watching some of Charlie Carrols content on YouTube at like 3am or some stupid hour. He's a bit of a different cat but an absolute wizard at the tables. I've read multiple times in different threads where people say he's just an MTT fish on heater bla bla etc. etc. Anybody that can't see that guy is really really good at poker is honestly clueless.
My graph from yesterday. Its Chinese money not USD so don't get too excited.
I played some interesting hands but I cant figure out how to post hand histories because none of the converters like the PokerMaster format. If anybody could help that would be great.
Peace and Good Luck at the tables

Western Australia bro. I went and lived in Byron Bay last year which was really cool but I'm back in my hometown at the moment. I'm a bit behind in your thread atm but last i saw you were thinking of going to Sydney. Do you think it could maybe be a good idea to preserve your bankroll and just wait until January when the Aussie Millions come to you?
I only watched some of his MTT stuff. He does some really clever things I haven't seen other people do
Try playing 4 tables for an hour a day to make sure you're analysing every spot at a deep level and not auto-piloting. Think of it as study except you get to play and profit and the same time. If you don't feel its helping go back to playing more all the time.
Still figuring my schedule out tbh. It was easy on Ignition because the games were cranking from when I wake up through until the afternoon. It's kind of the opposite on PokerMaster. All the traffic is at night but I hate playing before bed because it ruins my sleep.
Yesterday was a bit of a struggle after not sleeping the night before. I played a few hours but there weren't many games so I was often stuck 2 tabling. This combined with running absolutely terrible caused me to pack up stumps early. In the evening I put in around 3 hours study instead of playing another session. I love how motivated I feel to play after studying that hard.
Last night I slept great so I'm feeling great today. My body is still aching from doing squats so I skipped the gym this morning and went for a long walk down the beach. I tried to run but my legs wouldn't allow it. What a lovely day!!
Graph from yesterdays beatdown.
CO vs Straddle. Sickest beat I've taken in a while. Well not really cos he was shortstacked but still pretty cool.

I mean when you watch him splash around in that live PokerStars cash game with Kevin Hart, not hard to think he's a fish. Never really watched much of his stuff tho.
Ik you told me to play less tables but FOUR? how on earth do you not want to stab yourself in the eyes :') I'm gonna reduce to 6 tho since would be foolish not to take you up on your advice.
What sort of a schedule you looking to play for AM btw?

Good luck man I hope its been you taking all my money this week!!
Moving country would probably we easier for me than changing my sleep schedule
Thanks dude!
Cheers mate. Yeah I was hoping to start playing 50/100/200 before Christmas but we'll see how things go. Love your username btw!!!
Apart from losing every pot the last 2 days have been great.
I've smashed the gym out both days and starting to get back into a good rhythm. I've been eating tons of food, all healthy, and am feeling energised.
The most pleasing part was staying strong with my no alcohol goal for the week.
Being a Friday the messages started coming in thick and fast yesterday afternoon. Despite great temptation, I withstood the urge, stayed home and hit the tables.
After a solid session in the afternoon, the poker gods rewarded me for not going out drinking with a soul crushing Friday night where I literally lost every pot at showdown.
Despite the results I'm glad a I stayed home and played.
I found a YouTube channel a couple of days ago called Cassady Campbell. He dresses up as different characters and goes around trolling people.
Even though its kinda just the same stuff over & over I find it absolutely hilarious, especially his redneck character.
Graphs from each of the last 2 days
Peace & good luck at the tables

Cheers mate, you too!
Thanks dude
Cheers mate, the photo is from Geraldton. I haven't played Poker in Perth for years. What games run?
What a week!!! Got absolutely demolished in nearly every session I played. Poker is such a weird game sometimes. I've bummed around since I got back from Europe, partied way too much and not taken Poker or life seriously at all. Somehow this resulted in me winning nearly every session I played.
The week I start taking things seriously again, doing all the right things away from the table and studying every day I get rekt when I play. Moral of the story...Get drunk more!!!
Apart from the results obviously I'm really happy with how the week went. I smashed all my goals and my body and mind is feeling great because of it.
I dropped down to 10/20/40 yesterday to give myself a break and even grinded a couple of Heads Up sessions to change things up. I only battled regs when I played HU but it was really enjoyable. Playing 8 max gets pretty monotonous at times. My last session for the week was one of the most enjoyable of my life.
I matched with this Belgium girl on Tinder Yesterday. She tells me she is only passing though & leaving the next day so i offer for her to stay at mine for the night. "Yeah that sounds sounds like fun but can my friend stay too?" Of course I agree and am having all these wild thoughts for the rest of the day about some kind of crazy threesome with 2 hot Euro girls.
Anyways the evening rolls around and they rock up at my house. To my shock and disappointment her 'friend' is a dude. I hold strong with my weekly goals and sip on water while they have a couple of beers. The guy turns out to one of the biggest douchebags I've ever met in my life. He was such a knob that after 45 mins I end up telling them it's probably best if they sleep in their van.
I head inside, cook some dinner then and end up having a wank in the shower. I then decide to fire up some Heads Up tables. I'm 3 tabling three different regs when i hear the side door to the house. Ten seconds later the Belgium chick appears at my door. "Do you mind if I have a shower?" I let her know that's fine and continue playing. After her shower she comes back wrapped in a towel. She is curious about the poker.
The next part is almost unbelievable but I swear on everything that makes me a man its true. We're joking around but she is having a hard time understanding that I'm playing for real money. I don't really care about convincing her but i say "It's as real as the shirt on my back". "Why don't you take it off?", she asks. I'm still laughing as she makes a rule that if I lose the next hand my shirt is gone. I flop middle pair on J84 and open fold my hand. As i take my shirt off she gets up and closes the door to my room. She drops the towel, she's still wearing underwear. As she takes off her bra she instructs me that I have to keep playing. I'm clicking away pretending to take notice of the screen as she slides off my pants. After a few minutes of getting my dick sucked I cant handle it any longer. I close all the tables mid hand and push her onto my bed. Best poker session ever!!!
Results for the week
Thanks dude
