Self Control

^ [ ] Top of new page

For me it is you douchebag, I set my settings to 50 posts per page cuz 100 is too many if there's a bunch of pics and shit since sometimes I have shitty internet and it takes 400 hours to load. SO GO SUCK A CHODE!

<3 (you get teh luz itt imo)

damnit you've fully stolen my thunder with all of this self-improvement blog shit, now it's gonna look like I'm copying you even though I started two weeks ago


HOMO

I started mine like 6 months ago.

So I had a date with my ladyfriend tonight. (The guys on IRC have heard the story like 4 times now lol) It went really well, I ended up renting a movie and had her come over to my place. We talked for an hour before we even put the movie in and then talked through the whole movie anyways, which was fine since the video store fucked up and gave me the wrong one. (Was suppposed to be The Descent, but ended up being some weird thriller/slasher with some crazy ass name I can't pronounce). Had to cut it a little shorter than I expected since ~10 minutes after the credits rolled I asked her what time it was. She told me it was 10:15 so I kind of had to rush her out the door since I had to be to work at 11 and it takes ~40 minutes to drive to work and I still had to drop her off. She said she understood and wasn't upset/mad about it so thats good + I got good night kisses. WOOOP!

So yea, having that go well is a huge boost in ego/confidence (like I need it :P) and we agreed to make plans to meet up again asap.

an add-on to the meditation thing - try out some stretching after your runs. Hold them for 30seconds to a minute each, breathing into them.

dude, and it even makes you look like a great guy. Sounds like you're on the way to getting your money in good - just don't show her this blog

I explained this daven in IRC, but I'd kinda want to make it clear to everyone else too lol. I didn't bring her to my place on the first date expecting/wanting sex. I brought her there because there really wasn't anything that sounded good playing in the movies, we'd have a better chance at getting to talk/know each other instead of a movie theater, plus she gets to see me where I'm comfortable, how I live, etc. Kind of gives her a glimpse into what kind of person I am and honestly it helps me relax since I'm in my own house which lets me have a better time and I can loosen up more than if I was at her place or something.

^^ Such a gay post.

Invite her over, bang her, then drop her off.

Lol hi sil.

yo!! hows everything been going dude? I've been away from FTR for a while, slowly getting back into it and poker hopefully. whats going on with you re. poker and irl now besides inviting wimminz over for non-sexual activities?

Poker is going goot, BR is over the $300 mark for the first time in ages which is nice obv. Hoping I can run that into $1500+ over the summer, but ldo not making any monetary goals. All I want to do is put in consistent volume and improve my game since thats the only thing that matters. O yea, I'm playing HU sngs now, incase you missed my past few updates with poker content. Got sick of the cash grind and 9 mans are too boring after playing them for a like a week.

Irl its going a lot better. I'm back home with my parents until mid May then I'm out on my own again. Thank god, since I'll be about 3 words away from choke slamming my mom since she's a dumb cunt the majority of the time whenever I spend more than 3 days at home. Other then that, just hangin out with my friends, getting drunk and high on occasion (moreso high than drunk) but trying to cut back on the pot smoking as of late. Starting to eat better and exercise again so I don't fat as shit. Looking for a new/2nd job but so far unsuccessful but tbh, I haven't really looked that hard yet .

Email from Pokerstars imo:

Dear dranger7070,

We would like to welcome you back to the ring games at our site. We have spoken with lee jones about turning on your run good and he allowed us to flip the boom switch in your favor. Please take full advantage as we can't promise how long this will last.

Thanks,

Steve

Yes! Cash ftw imo. Glad to see you're doing something other than playing 11c HU sngs.

#1 nice job
#2 please say real email
#3 nice database name

Hey buddy wanted to say thanks again for the session Thursday. Can't wait to do it again!

Homoerotica itt

For sure dude, next time I'll make sure my internet isn't busto as shit so we can actually do some work instead of getting halfway through a sentence and then having to start over lol.

Poker is good, I moved up to 10nl and all that good stuff. Still playing 6m.

Irl is going not too bad I suppose. I've pretty much all but given up on that chick. She's gotten really fucking dumb so thats dunzo. Too lazy to explain and most of the IRC guys know the story anyways lol.

I'm going to the MMA gym here in town, I went to the first real training session last night, fucking thought I was gonna die after the warmups lol. I ended up leaving early which I'm pissed off at myself for because I've never failed to finish a workout in anything I've put my mind to so far in my life. So I'm all hella motivated right now to go out and bust ass. I was just going to take a week or two off to get my cardio and legs built up before I went back in there, but my buddy that's getting into it is pretty good friends with the coach there so he's getting him to open the gym up for me on off days and he's going to put me through the paces alone so I can my body built up to where I can at least finish the workouts. Pretty pumped for that. Probably going in tonight to get my ass handed to me.

Nice looking graph D. I want to see you in UFC 180. Train hard and try to get that fight in by the end of summer

And I'm quitting pot as well, but since I live in Vancouver, it makes it a lot harder. I think it's +EV in poker, MMA and life in general. Let's try to keep each other off the green.

How'd you do in HU S&G's anyways? I did really well with it. So many fish in that sea.

I did ok, I managed to pretty much double my BR over the course of a month or so by putting in next to no volume. They are definitely insanely soft and I considered sticking with those, but I'm stuck on cash again. :P

I'm not trying to totally quit pot fwiw, I still enjoy smoking from time to time. I'm just cutting back from smoking literally every day and doing nothing afterwards. I'll primarily just smoke on the weekends, and not every weekend. Probably once every couple of weeks or so.

LOL @ above post

Yeah totally. I just feel like it hinders my brain's efficiency too much. That's my goal too at the moment, but I really do hope that one day I'll be able to completely cut it out. Easier said than done...

This thread has gone through many phases...

1 - I need self control
2 - GL
3 - Jerkin it
4 - Dranger talking alot
5 - GL
6 - More dranger (nothing wrong with that)
7 - Me making this pointless list

It feels like we are playing telephone

lol

lol @ being a pot head and a good poker player at the same time.

nw Dr. Anger. stay off the drugs as much as possible.

On that topic, I wonder if there are any potheads in the pro's... Anyone know of any? I mean like the really nutty pro's.

I'm pretty sure Phil Laak is/used to be on coke, but other than that idk.

lets face it. weed is the goods.

first sentence.

bam.

if you didn't smoke weed I bet you'd be at 25nl by now.

Now I am not down on POT but this type of statement drives me nuts. I mean why the hell would you want anything to have control over you. If you can't be stronger than a little pipe/bong/joint then us is weak! I've had many a bad habit in my day and the way I have stopped doing things is by telling myself I am stronger than some little fucking (insert shit here).

If you didn't go away for the marines, I bet you'd be at $100NL

I'd be farther than 100nl...

That's ok though, I'll get there eventually, it's only a matter of time. I just gotta stop being lazy and get my ass on the grind.

Why?

I just feel that if I was able to grind through all of last year and up to this point I'd be at 200nl (or at least rolled for it). Idk, that probably came off as arrogant, but I truly believe that.

I didn't take it as arrogant as I agree with you.

I just wanted to know what the difference is between how you played then and now.

I'm seriously way out of practice. I don't put many hands in, I don't study nearly as much as I used to, and the games were different. Like TAG was printing money so I could 12+ table and autopilot and print money at 10nl/25nl. It's probably the same now, but I don't want to just run 13/10 and win monies. I want to learn, get better, and move up. So I'm playing a lot fewer tables and I just haven't found my groove since I've gotten back yet.

definitely you want that.

If you want to be a rakeback pro then at least have the self respect and do it at 50-100NL

The real trouble with cheeseburger stakes is that when you have to move down because of whatever - you're not making any money anymore, so it's hard to motivate yourself to rebuild and so on.

Screw study time. Just spend less time goofing around in irc and more time playing and thinking about the game. If you want to do a sweat session, I'm available. Either way.

Yea I spam in IRC so much. but its so much fun to just chill and chat with my frands. My work ethic is something I really need to work on. :/
