I thought about it. There's a lot of local card rooms and casinos in Sacramento and I've played a lot live. I remember being 16, going to school and laughing at like how easy it'll be to just work a full time job for 3weeks and take shots live. Rinse and repeat until success. But now I'm so accustomed to social stuff I can't save for ****. If I blew off any social interactions from Nov-Dec I could give it a shot in 2016 with 2-3k.

Thinking about this now is exciting but I go through these spurts of inspiration and then get distracted by life. Would be cool to lift consistently during that time and really make a run at trying to be something/someone in a higher tier. 2016 may be the year of letting 2p2 choose my life decisions

If you still live at home and would only be able to save 2-3k if you don't go out anymore, you need to get educated. And forget about the poker BS, such a useless exercise. Recreationally it's fine to make a buck here and there but to honestly believe this is going to make a difference to you is just a terrible mindset.

You need to think way bigger than turning 2-3k into something meaningful.

Agreed. I enjoy your posts GG but I don't think we live in a world where you can be 30 or so and just snap into grinding a successful career anymore

Haven't really thought about it too much.

Meet more women/people, get out of my comfort zone a little bit.

To be fair to GG from my talks with him it sounds like his dad will give him the company he owns when he retires (the on GG works for). I have told GG a few times he should really talk to his dad about expansion because taking over the company in like 10 years at its current size is a waste. His dad sounds fine not dealing with the headache of expansion and just wants to retire and is complacent with its current size which sucks for GG. I still advise him to talk to his dad and try to be more blunt about how it's a great opportunity for him career wise/resume wise to get into the business/expansion side of the business and try to grow it as soon as possible. But his dad is fairly risk adverse.

I tried to be intentionally vague about things for GGs sake, I assume he is fine with what has been posted but if not feel free to have a mod (lol like they exist here) delete it.

I still think GG should audition to be on the next real world season

I'm not trying to tell GG what to do by any means, I'm newer to this thread so I'm just asking questions trying to get a feel for things. The reason I say this is because 2+2 has loads of sub forums, but at the end of the day, this is a poker website/forum so I'd expect most people to have stumbled upon this based on poker. That's the root of my curiosity.

Read the war of art (not to be confused with the art of war). It's all about fighting the feeling of resistance everyone goes through when going out of their comfort zone. Also join a co-ed sports league. Or the equivalent of that for you. Could be trivia team at a bar once a week, crossfit/yoga class, whatever.

That was my first step. And I've pretty much documented my life from that point itt

Just downloaded it.

I've been getting involved with some stuff at work I normally wouldn't do so I guess that's a step in the right direction. Had a co-ed soccer team lined up but that just recently fell through, I'll have to start looking for another

Meetup.com or whatever is good. Has a bunch of variety. I thought about going to one of their bar crawls or something. Has bowling leagues and whatnot.

I also am a member (free) of my cities young professional group and did a kickball and dodgeball league through them. Pretty fun as a sport, met a couple people but Noone that really interested me in terms of hanging out outside but still was prob worth it.

Don't worry about wasting my time, down to talk about stuff. Pm'ed my contact info.

I'd mostly agree with this. Poker is not a good thing to focus your future on. I assume you can win at a decent clip in live games but I would treat it as a part time hobby with the bonus of having some income. If it goes well then sweet. If it not you are not going to be much worse off.



Without knowing the exact details these situations can be really tricky. I'd just say don't end up waiting to take over the company and wake up one day realizing you missed out on other opportunities. I had a similarish situation and pretty early on decided to take another career path.

+1 to sports leagues, they're great. Just don't do crossfit is all. No reason to sacrifice gains just to fit into a stupid cult.

Purchased. Been reading quite a few psychology type books lately, this one looks good too.

def this.

i'd recommend joining a kickball league to anyone that is able. The leagues just give you a huge influx of people into a separate social circle. Even in my smaller city there are around 300 young people in the league.

Saturday went out for a birthday. Country themed bar crawl so I wore cowboy boots and started at a country bar. I wore a normal ish outfit otherwise and I like the boots aesthetic and being even taller in them. There was a lot of attractive blondes at the first bar but I don't really like the music and don't have much in common with those ppl. I honestly think I project lower intelligence onto them which isn't fair, but ya kind of stops me from talking to them. I did have a cool moment where I squeezed by two girls and said excuse me and she said oh no you're fine. Then turned to her friend and said "like no, you're really fine" and they laughed. I turned back and said I think you're very attractive too. She got embarrassed that I heard.

Then I got coke ($80/g to supposedly get the good stuff) and ppl were heading to the next bar so I actually put on Travis Scott- Antidote in my headphones while doing coke in the bathroom and walked through the bar with the headphones on cloud 9 lol.

Next bar I order Chardonnays because it seems like a dry drink to counter act the coke effect. It was really good coke but I ended up giving like 2/3rds away to whoever wanted to do it with me. And ppl bought me some drinks in return so it was all good.

While at that bar I sit on these picnic tables and I have no idea how it happened but some Mexican girl who is only in town from a week from Mexico gives me her number and makes out with me within 5min of talking. I remember getting the details of her situation to see how plausible ****ing right then was but where she was staying and stuff wasn't. It would involve someone having to drive. So when she leaves I go to the bathroom and its a huge line and while joking with guys I just met in line two security come in to check on puke or something and I have a bag of coke in my hand lol. He was cool and laughed and I said aww guess I gotta go. So I left and some ppl went to the next bar with me. A girl I met at TBD fest two weeks before was with us so me and her start making out.

We all uber to a warehouse rave which was funny to go to in boots. I just took them off. The place was weird as ****. $15 cover, couches lined the walls, was a cash bar, but had to all be illegal I presume. It was all like trance/not popular deep house so it wasn't my scene either. Did the rest of coke with ppl and took off earlier than everyone else.

The girls house I went to was dog sitting. So we took two dogs around the block. She actually blew me on the sidewalk while a car drove by. She's like a 5.5/10 but had a ton of photos from college in her room where she was a 7+ lol. Part of me likes that she was hot; other part laughed about it.

This whole TR will make sense if you saw the snapchats. Also it was hard to work into the timeline but at one point I was talking in a group with 3 girls I've hooked up with before, not sure they knew. One was the older accountant from when I was like 22yo and I made out with her outside of the bar before going to the rave.

I have a post about Sunday (bbq then club with more coke and some girl with a bf there cock blocking my tinder date) but less happened.

I don't think I've ever once seen someone in a bar with headphones on. Kinda dig it given the circumstances though.

I doubt he's rejected more than 10% of the time and the rejection rate should really be close to 0%.

hard to get rejected when the girls comes to you

I should probably delete the barstoolsports snapchat. 24 never felt so old.

You younger guys need to seize the day.

The Mexico girl was a super rare scenario that only happens when you're drunk. Like how you swear your phone has never done a glitch before except this one time you happen to be drunk AF so you're not sure if it's really happening or if you're drunk.

The rest I had history with.

25th birthday today. Luckily everyone I know is older so I never get called out on it. Would be weird to be like hanging with 21yo's right now like some 25+yo's were doing with me

I ignored the married girl in town from Alabama most of the week. But gave in and hooked up with her yesterday after she sent texts saying I just want to come over have you **** me and leave. I snapchatted her blowing me. It was just her head bobbing up and down and then like 1/3rd of a second of her ass. But I decided to delete almost right after. Also when she was leaving she said this was nice but hopefully we can do Sunday and go out together before hooking up, which was the opposite of her whole angle when pleading to see me Thursday.

Then started drinking and went to dinner with 20yo and it sucked. All I wanted for my birthday was to get drunk and laugh in a good conversation with someone I like. Instead she was quiet and didn't drink when we got back from dinner despite bringing over wine. I kept thinking how I wanted this birthday to be how I made TB's last days. Also I mentioned for months how I wanted a specific polaroid for my birthday and she didn't make it. Although she had a second bag she brought in that she never opened. I kept thinking maybe it's in there. Me thinking about TB only made the night worse because TB didn't send her birthday message until this morning so that was bumming me out. My friends were out at a bar and I kept wanting to just go to that or sleep so I chose to take melatonin at 10pm.

We had sex before that but overall wasn't a great night and I don't expect us to see each other much in the immediate future which is probably best.

Hoping to have good weekend. I shouldn't have done coke last Sat+Sun going into this weekend. It's really effected my moods

life

Beat LT and GG to drake gif. Winning.
