Making a List

I made a list of everything that makes me not awesome:

WHY I AM NOT AWESOME

· Shy

· Hygiene

· Dis-organised

· Boring

· Bad at poker

· Lazy

· Anti-Social


Ways of improving:


  • Talk to people more
  • Do at least one thing a day that you can talk to someone about
  • Use more lists and keep a diary
  • Work out a little every day
  • Utilize the facilities I have to improve my poker game no end
  • Get off my fucking ass
  • Shower every day, not every other day

What I can gain if I get better at these spots

  • Friends
  • Girls
  • Money
  • Looks
  • Grades

Hopefully I'll get motivation from this.

A brief report on 2010 so far

Since the last time I blogged was January I will fill you in on my months since then.

February

February was the most difficult month I've ever had. I started off with a really long break even stretch, followed by a 20 buy in downswing. I was tilting and only kept playing to secure platinum again which was really draining and frustrating. A bad month all in all. I played 40k hands but lost about $600 which sucked!

March & April

I took a break from poker in these two months. I played about 1k hands in March before I left for NZ and when I got set up in NZ with internet in April I played maybe 5k hands of 25nl. It was good though I really didn't like poker anymore and taking a break helped me. I cashed out half my roll and moved down to 25nl.

May

May was an awesome month, however. I played 30k hands of 25nl and ran at 6-7ptbb/100 so really good to finally feel like a winner again and nice to play lower, less stress and variance. May was good.

June

I puked on my laptop which made me unable to play poker until September.

September

I'm back played some 25nl getting used to it again. Not winning at the moment but hopefully my luck will turn.

There was a brief summary of each month. Hope that fills in the gap and I'll be posting a massive TR of NZ whenever I get round to writing it.

I'm back and back for good.

Sorry about the lengthy absence. I went to NZ for 6 months (I'll blog that soon). All I want to say is I'm back now and I am back on the tables for good. Lets hope for run good!
