Hey 2+2 again, title says it all. I am super lazy lately and its not what I want, I find myself just putting in 50% all the time. The last 3 months I played 110k hands and its just not acceptable, I can do this every month no bother. It will be a busy routine for me to do this every month, but so what. I play full ring atm on the Chinese apps, totally new to me I'm more a 6 max man mostly zoom. I'm slowly adjusting to the way these games play. Anyways I'm just not getting out of bed anymore, I ask the Mrs to wake me up at 6am and just blow her out basically. Pathetic I know and its so vital for me to start at that time, as I have life tasks to do. Lets see what i can do around my life, never really tried to plan out a routine for life and poker.

Monday to Friday I need to get up at 6am I cant stress enough how important this is. Why? Well I have kids and my little princess goes to school till 12pm which gives a good few hours to grind. See when i get her from school my grinding comes to a stand still, I then have to wait for my son or Mrs to get home. Monday and Tuesday are best for me as the Mrs deals with them and takes them school, so i get 5 hours and 45 min to grind. Wednesday to Friday is more difficult as I have to deal with the kids and get them to the brain washing factory. So I lose some time there but not loads.
They need to be there for 8.50, so I'm gonna lose over a hour easy. Weekends are 99% mostly mine!
If I were to make a bet on this, Id bet I fail!

Weekdays plan

1, Get up at 6am or earlier and report to my blog, no fooking about.
2, Meditate for 15 mins before grind.
3, Grind.
4, Get my little princess except Tuesday its all mine.
5, Do my ***** chores which include keeping my daughter entertained.
6, Grind some more as soon as I can - need to hit 3k hands a day at least!
7, Review session
8, Read some more about the 7 Chakras
9, Meditate 20 mins or until satisfied.

This will be all for now I will adjust and fine tune my plan, will also add a weekend plan at the end of the week. Lets just see if i can meet this plan this week first. So the goals are to get up early and to play 90k hands each month at least, any number below that is a fail. Getting up at 6.30am is also a fail. I may fall short on the 3k hands Wednesday - Friday but weekends are a good days to recover this. This on screen keyboard is a killer, I killed mine the other day after the most craziest break even session that sent me nutz.

Hey! Good luck in your goals. Meditation is something I'm getting back into at the moment. I was super into it a few years back, lots of yoga, chakras etc. It's probably the best I ever felt in my life. Then I fell out of it after the kids were born - knackered all the time etc!

Can you say more about the chinese apps? Can anyone play these games and what's the stakes and standard like? Fair enough if you don't want to say.

Cheers

up.

Hey darchas thanks, I think anyone can play via a agent. Not sure what stakes they play up to I just stick to mine. Cant really say much on the games only played few hands there really, plays different to my usual zoom games. Got plenty to learn there before I can say out about the play.

Happy to say I have completed my goals today except reading and meditation, but gonna go bed and read for a hour or so and meditate afterwards. Also started a healthy diet again today and feel positive that I will stick it, all organic rather than being 50/50 all the time. I have like mild schizophrenia not diagnosed but I'm aware of it, can get paranoid sometimes. I ate healthy for a while once and I felt great, all my usual paranoid behaviour had gone. I know this as I felt good and the Mrs got a little worried herself as I was not phoning her as much, it felt good. I have read so much and I know I can be happy and at peace, my temper is so bad its scary. I must stay away from all the sh ity food, and just have a treat every now and then. Full month detox and then stick out a proper healthy diet forever. I believe with diet, meditation and a new way of thinking I can be fully normal. If not least I tried. See you tomoz bright an early.

All the best mate. In regard meditation I'm reading this book right now: the mind illuminated. Might be worth checking out.

Eating health is massive too I agree. I try to see food as medicine, and not a comfort thing which is something I often do.

Early mornings are the best for concentration i find.

Totally agree there Chicagodude!

Will defo check it out darchas thank you!

Today was absolutely annoying, PM had some serious lags that cost a couple of stacks. Had played 1400 hands by by 10.30am and had 1 hour left before getting my daughter, would of been close to 2k hands but the lag got to me so I quit. So as long as I stick to the plan I can easy hit 3k hands on Wed-Fri. But that wont happen today, don't feel comfy playing again today after that. This is the only exception. Goals have been met apart from volume, will do a third meditation tonight. Also some more chakras and healthy mind reading.
Feeling positive about plan and life goals, even the Mrs has stopped eating junk. Happy about that as its hard watching someone eating a sexy cake plus feel loved as I know how much she likes a sweet.

3 Foods I should avoid

1, Dairy
2, Gluten
3, Refined sugar

What do people think of this regs line? I'm personally not a fan, expected a hand like 87s.

up

Thursday morning I got up on time and ran into this

https://i.gyazo.com/45065f0e8b357eae...635903b2c4.png

I knew it was due but some how forgot or noticed it, I was unable to get the money until today, need to be more organised. Next time i draw out will put some money aside. I nearly played my session with out the software but decided to do some reading, I have plenty to read atm but ended up starting The mind illuminated. It has a catchy title and from what I've read so far I like it. I like how it teaches to focus one one thing at a time, its gonna be good going through the 10 stages. Right now I'm just trying to focus on not letting my mind wonder. And i need a routine for meditation. Feel like Im making excuses already i thought the Mrs would of had it in the bank as its not to pricey the basic one plus hud. But nope not quite enough, pay day today last Fri of month.

This morning i get up and the net is down happens every so often so lost the morning, didn't get it back on till 1pm Spent some time on the phone to virgin again. There coming round tomoz again to see if they can resolve this ongoing problem. Still done a late night session tho tonight,wasn't gonna have another day of no grinding. So tired right now, even tho i fell behind I'm still gonna get 90k plus. Still eating well and not caved in the any sweets, gets hard after a couple of weeks off refined sugar. Start to crave chocolate its horrible. Gonna organise things a bit better this weekend, have the whole weekend to myself. What a mess to start with but that's me bit of a mess!

Got some hands to post from review but super tired cos of the late session, will do tomorrow. Meditate and off to bed me now.

Hand 1 https://i.gyazo.com/0de97fc06b9f8a36...b45cc8fd01.png

Played this hand badly think i should either fold or shove the turn, especially vs the sizing shove seems good.. Think OTF I can raise to 30bb to charge fish, hes never folding his draws or pair type hands. Hard for me to fold really i know fish can have 4x hands, but he can also have FDs 76, 75, 97, 87, A6. I like my line OTF vs a fish can extract a lot more value rather than taking the passive line, i have no solver so still experimenting with my lines... Think shoving would be overplay cos hes gonna call with better and maybe fold worse, don't think its a option here.

Hand 2 https://i.gyazo.com/3f7284f13c0f8bf6...268bcf6dd7.png

Bad reg who i have a note on, doesn't like to fold FDs regardless of bet size and a passive fish in the hand. Is this over play here? I feel like I'm ahead of their range when they both call the flop, and this turn is a great card for us. So decide to shove since i know bad reg don't like to fold draws and fish can call with worse. Hands like 33 and QJ will likely raise the flop given how wet it is. Wasn't sure if i should of just bet big here, seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hand 3 https://i.gyazo.com/29e0f828f983773b...616b3854df.png

Villain unknown think i should of folded here but the bets were so fast I called, think this is a mistake villain may be passive cos hes limping. I just cant see this being good for us the majority of the time, there gonna show up with Tx often.

The virgin dude turned up not so long ago, changed some adaptors and leads in and outside the house. Hoping this is going to be resolved cos its not acceptable, I need to have a stable connection or it tilts the **** out of me when i lose pots over it. He said they was old as ****, but why didn't the last guy see this... Jokers. Gonna try hit 4k hands or more today, try to catch up.

Weekend complete, least this blog as made me put some effort in.. Met goals yesterday was break even for the day with 3212 hands, played well so not much else i could do...

Sunday session much better results.

Met goals the same gonna do a review and then meditate for a while, its really relaxing. After that gonna chill and watch gods of Egypt, up at 6 this week just on Wed Thurs, Fri. Also have bloody kids for 2 weeks off school, gonna be tricky but hoping to get all my volume in just might mean late nights.

Some fun hands of the day


Hand 1 https://i.gyazo.com/a9828451f6176fbf...e5d6bb5759.png

Guy donk bets like crazy so have to call 2 streets here at least as he likes to fire again with bluffs

Hand 2 https://i.gyazo.com/36931349f31b9b82...10cf7c2b01.png

Multiway so feel a check is prob better, although I don't mind the small bet as we can fold out the crap of the other players involved, would prob be a better bet with BDFD. When villain calls the same bet His range is more likely draws and some 2nd 3rd pair type hands. Decide to check turn and villain bets small so i call getting a good price and miss, DB half pot to fold out draws and maybe some 3rd pair type hands. I have no SDV so feel like it was the only option really.
