Today I lost to a straight flush.
Yesterday I lost boat over boat, and set over set.
The day before I lost quads over quads.
The day before that I lost KK vs AA.

Today I pawned n00bs for 6 1/2 hours. I am thinking a 10a-5pm schedule will be good for my circadian rhythm. Those hours still feel part time to me so I should be able to do them every day.

I looked at trash all day and won +73.
I'm on pace for 170 hours this month.

The fundamental theorem of reading players at the table

I have increased the breadth of my live reads since arriving in Vegas.

I ran this by one of the best small stakes players in the world and he agrees with my thesis:

When reading an opponent, it is better to consult an accumulation of prior reads. It's best to not look too much into their appearance in the moment, rather taking notice of their features from sitting down and onward.

While I occasionally get it right when someone moves in and I take a guess if they look like they're bluffing or not, I am relying on "in the moment reads" exactly 0% for the 4.5 months that I have been here.

I'm surprised more critics don't think Venetian is the best casino in Vegas. It has the best architecture, and a really consistent drink staff. There are probably more than 50 places to eat between The V and Palazzo.

I drew the 2nd pick in my Sister's fantasy baseball league. I will be taking Mookie Betts.

Night session at The V this evening. Should be fun.

Flurries of thoughts about not using my time on earth properly flow through me. I am pretty much averaging 6-10 hours of poker daily, which is great. I spend the time away from the casino smoking weed. I am living my best life if not close to it.

Playing poker every day is a gift.

A rare thing happened to me today. I played my D-game at poker and quit after two hours.

A leak of mine is playing down to my competition. Today wasn't the first time I've played poorly at an extremely soft table. I need to get a handle on that.

Which shouldn't be that hard to do. I visualize myself beating great players, I can also think about playing disciplined against amateurs.

If I take three days off from poker a month it doesn't sound like that much. But at the end of the year that equates to 5 weeks.

Hotel California came on while I was walking into the casino.

Bob Voulgaris is going off on X about a problem gambling epidemic related to the mass proliferation of sites like DraftKings. I predicted this would happen when the sites first came out, but have since stopped caring due to YOLO or something. Plus I don't bet sports much so I will personally be fine.

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
And I have a light
The day is done
And I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
But maybe just happy?

Was feeling headachy and sluggish all day. Had some coffee this evening and I now feel great! Obviously I am a caffeine addict and may need to deal with this fact eventually.

Elon Musk has claimed that his company Neuralink can restore sight in monkeys.

On this X platform (formerly Twitter), the Tesla and SpaceX chief said his other company Neuralink had enabled blind monkeys to see with its brain chip technology. “The Blindsight implant is already working in monkeys,” he said on Thursday.

The billionaire also said this Neuralink product would be called Blindsight, adding that the resolution would be low to begin with, like “early Nintendo graphics”, but that it could exceed normal human vision in the future.
