The Drive to $10K

Update:

I have gained some control over my emotional state for now and the sense of urgency I felt to get the roll back up. I have settled in at $50NL for a bit and have been taking the time to work on my game. Griffey has been a great help on MSN and we have talked quite a bit while I am at work. It's kind of painful to have these problems and look into the database or ship someone a hand and have them tell you something you know that just doesn't seem to have any recall during the hand. Getting out of bad/medicore hands earlier is not a leak, folding the best hand sometimes is not a leak. These are things I need to remember when playing.

One of the things I have done to help as well is I have gone back to the gym. Damn I miss the gym. I am so out of shape. I will keep some small updates going here as well. I started at 280/37%BF. Yep, that's right. I set a goal of 3lbs a week for the first two months. I know it's a little lofty but I can actually do this for some time and then knock it down to 2lbs a week after a month or two. With what I know I could probably do 4lbs a week for a couple months and still eat 3000 calories but I won't even try this time. I have other things to do with my life than "2 a days" and a ton of other stuff (cardio). My weigh ins with the rest of the house are every Sunday afternoon and today I hit the usual first week dumping of weight and set a 271 on the scale. I expect the first two weeks to sail by and drop a ton, and then week three is always a tough spot so I typically make some changes that week. I'll keep you posted. I will only do BF% testing once a month.

Lastly, I may leave iPoker soon. I hate the table availability for us in Can and US, and also, since NoIQ left the races kinda suck ass. I will know within the month. I need to get 50K more points to get the PS3 and I am out. They collect so much slower at $50NL than $200NL and adding tables just doesn't see the benefit. There are so few good tables that it is hard to table select well when playing 6 x 6m. There just isn't enough and watching for the dynamic to change is something I tend to stop looking at when I am focused on other things in my game right now.
