Music being played improved golfers putting results in a study. Any music was better than none but jazz had the best results followed by classical. Take it for what you will.

Thanks

I'm not saying to cut out every bread, but fyi, it becomes rly hard to have flat and toned chest/belly if you eat bread often. It acts just like a sponge.

Ahh yeah I used to be the same, but couple of days travelling through the world w/o much to eat convinced me that i could work/do stuff on an empty stomach and that it was just my mind playing games w me.

This guy did it for a week lol

Coincidentially im right in the middle of the 3rd day of intermittent fasting and so far this has been amazing.

I have never done this before and it is surprisingly easy!

It's not concerned about whether or not I should listen to music before I start playing. I just don't think I concentrate as hard when I play poker with music than without.



Yea, I've heard bread is really bad for your body's aesthetics.


What would be a good alternative though? What on earth do people eat at lunch without bread???

I plan on moving to Thailand in January 2019, so I'm sure my diet will get a lot better there, but I'm also not drinking any alcohol until December 13th, so right now seems like a good time to try and get a bit more in shape.


Sick. Not saying I won't give it a try, but just not right now when I'm on a bit of a downswing


Another rough day at the office.







vs fish







vs fish and reg on the co. Not sure if x/r or x/c are better. Both probably fine.







Can probably justify a river fold vs this piece of trash nitreg.

One formula that works.

Downswing = biscuits + coffee, for severe downswing add cake to biscuits.

Ikr?! It's only our mind blow minding us that it will be impossible, that we will suffer like hell, etc. But once you get over the fear of the unknown (or that you accept that you will be outside of your comfort zone for a said period of time), it's actually pretty easy like you said. Like anything else rly.

When I was in Korea, the locals used lettuce to eat their meat (wrap it).

It's way lighter for the stomach than bread and it's good and healthy.

So yeah, I've been adding way more lettuce to my diet instead of bread, especially when I eat meat since it's already kind of heavy.



Towards the middle of the video, you can see the Koreans eating their meat w lettuce as a way to wrap it.

Just google "Korean BBQ Lettuce Wraps" and you'll have plenty of content/recipes.

Rice is another easy replacement for bread imo (unless you already have sugar problems as it increases the blood sugar level).

If not, crackers are nice. I eat goldfish lol.

Nah, I'm definitely going to try and get in decent shape this year. Little to no biscuits and cake from now on.


Doubt jam and peanut butter on Lettuce will taste very nice at all.

Decent suggestion though. Will probably just try and eat raw veggies and fruits at lunch time.


Played significantly worse yesterday than on Sunday tbh. Spewing all day






Punt vs shortstacker





Punt vs reg with redic high raise cbet in 3bet pots.








vs fish




Managed to lose the minimum here though





Will try once again to play in silence. Also need to make sure I quit the session if I know I'm not playing well and not wait until I tilt off a buy in then leave in an even worse mood.



Gl all

hey, just found this thread so. Subscribed

why do you play only full ring and not 6max? sharing the fish with less regs should be +ev right? or do you think the skill-level of regs between fr and 6m is too big for this to be true?

It's honestly always been because I use the hypersimple table theme, which means I couldn't have my seat/cards shown at the bottom centre of a table, which is annoying when mixing fr tables where I am always seat number 5. And also now because even at 100nl these days it is hard to get a good seat on a 6max table without using a script, and I haven't used one in over a year.

I am not saying I'll never mix in 6max, I'm just not interested in doing it right now.








Very loose call down. Guy is one of the best regs at 200 as well imo.





vs fish






Vs really passive and boring fish. Was absolutely hating life when he potted turn and jammed river tbh. Just had to close my eyes and prey for the chop






Going to try and grind hard and not take time off to watch the Champions league like I did last night.



Good luck guys!

wow you play reallyy long sessions..
how do you prepare for such a long grind and how do you stay focused?

I basically asked him the same qustions before, you might find those answer 1 or 2 sites before.

Nice January. Listening to music is +ev imo

It dosen't make sense. Just filter for day separately and be able to get more info about how short/long sessions effect your winrate

I like the thread though, keep it up OP.

^^^^^

I'll usually play 1000-1500 hands then take a decent sized break fwiw

It's just habit more than anything. I'd changed my session length in HM to 6 hours back in late 2016 iirc and I just don't feel the need to change it.

Thanks and I will!

Thanks, but I definitely disagree. for me at least, I don't think I'm paying as much attention whilst listening to music.









Vs agro crusher #AlwaysUncapped





I do block his only 4x combo so it's obviously not the worse call in the world, bu vs the 200 fr population this call is definitely losing.










luck






I only managed 2.5k hands instead of the 3k+ that I had planned, because I couldn't stop myself from watching some Champions League last night. Real Madrid vs PSG though!

Currently at 37k hands for the month, so should definitely start putting more of a shift in volume wise, as it's definitely not smart to leave it to the last few days to catch up on pace for the freeroll.



Gl guys!

Im not impressed, Sir. If you wanna watch football you should make better plans. Debate with yourself whats worth it and what not, make a decision and just do it.

gg gl

Wow i saw some talk on fasting in this thread!!! <3 I think fasting is pretty damn good for your health and if done properly well, is just amazing.

Dr. Fung can get a bit irritating at times, but at least he explains the science behind fasting in palatable ways:

https://idmprogram.com/fasting-a-history-part-i/

the article is in 11 or 12 parts, but it is really really really good. If your still interesting in it hurt or got any questions just message me When im not on icmizer im reading journal after journal on this stuff

Looks like your having a great start to the year! well done, keep up the hard work

You're totally right. From now on I'm going to try and not watch any live football/Match of the day.


Cheers mate, and I will do!



Played some disgusting poker yesterday tbh. I don't feel as bad about it as I probably should because I still booked a win. Also REALLY need to start playing in silence. Last night I was grinding 14 tables whilst watching Question Time ffs! There wasn't even any discussions about Brexit either. Just some nonsense about Oxfam and a potential tax on sugary treats. I couldn't have put myself in a more -EV spot!








Always get punished for slow playing AA







Chicken pubes








Air Jordan






Going to put in a big shift today to make up for the past two days of slacking.


Good luck guys!

Cutting out all football seems a bit of an overkill, MOTD especially. I think I’ve seen before you get up at 9-10ish but don’t start playing till 3 if I’m correct, you could start earlier on days where you want to watch football and watch it guilt free.

Lol @ watching question time while playing, sure fire way to put yourself on insane tilt imo.

Hey

I think you misunderstood my criticism and maybe i should have elaborated a bit more since i wanna be positive and helpful.

You seem to have shown some regret about watching this game, thats what triggerd my response.

There is nothing wrong with watching soccer but you never should regret it if you do so. You know in advance which matches will happen that day and you have to decide what is best you.
Train yourself to make informed decisions which will benefit you and spending your freetime in the most enjoyable ways will be very benefical, i assume.

gg gl

Listen to some lamb of God insyead of lil mix and redline will go up for sure

Only watch TV if games are super soft, on Stars that may never be the case
I was watching those murder investigation shows at 3am while grinding, fun times.

Fasting is very good.
Semi-alternative to fasting is to eat watermelon for breakfast. Basically when you sleep your body is in a fasting state, then eating watermelon which is >90% water will prolong that, while still giving you energy for the day.
Slice the watermelon in half and eat with a spoon.

If you do fast, always be careful with your energy levels so that you don't feel weak when going outdoors.

Question time?!?!? Oh nooooo! Lolol

What's the reasoning behind betting the turn there? OTR it's a very good move, but isn't it better to bluff only with JThh or at least have the Ac?

I may not have worded it brilliantly, what I mean by no more live tv is that I won't be ending my sessions at 22:30 or whatever just to watch Match Of The Day or whatever. Instead I'll just watch it on bbc iplayer the next morning when the poker traffic is much slower.

And yea, you're absolutely right about question time. Never watching while playing ever again.





Alles klar


Absolutely hate Lamb of God! Listening to a lot of German rap these days tbh.

I really love watermelon, so I may actually give that a try.

Watch it every single week, mate! Don't know I bother though tbh, the UK is on its arse.

Just being aggressive


Thought I would play 4k hand, but I couldn't help myself from snap sitting out next bb after I got back in the black.








Would've been put into a coma if I hadn't held here.







Vs agro reg









Reg ip. "Please don't ship, please don't ship, please don't ship"





Going to a restaurant tonight, so volume wont be a good as yesterday. But I still want to play in silence, as I think I played really well yesterday because of that.


Good luck guys!!

Really happy that I managed to play over 3k hands, despite waking up at like 14:30 and going to a restaurant yesterday. Not a particularly exciting grind though tbh.







Vs reg. Probably should have folded river tbh. Doubt he'd triple AA or KK on that river.






Vs reg








Vs reg with high rfi utg






Hopefully some more excitement today!


glgl!
