so i just wanted to make this post about the thoughts and ideas i wanted to do this winter as well as my work out routine ill be doing and any other thoughts i have on my mind.
first i just want to talk about poker. i forgot to mention in my last post that i saw dario minerri at a 5/10 table. im not the type of person to get star struck from anyone who was on t.v. but its cool to see somone who was on tv.
then i started to wonder. he was playing like 300/600 on highstakes poker and he didnt even jump into one of the 10/20nl games... BUSTO perhaps???? also freddie deeb and barry greenstien are a common face in the high limit section. so yeah just kinda fun seeing people like that.
my last thought on poker that i have and i usually have when im losing. (like this last week) is that i feel like poker is going downhill. i mean every serious grinder knows the games are getting harder. for a professional that means his job is going to start getting harder and his paycheck will be less because theres more players sharing that same paycheck. the thing is that in poker there will always be bad players but now a days there are way more better players and it continues to grow. at what point is poker going to be so difficult because everyone is so solid that it will be considered good to win 5 buyins in a month? from 2007-2012 the games have gotten significantly harder and more solid from online mainly but in live as well. thats only over a 5 year span! just think in 5 more years, is it really going to be possible to make a living from it anymore? like i said im losing at the moment so thats why im thinking like this. hopefully good players can always win a good amount of money but i fear it's a farfetched idea.
now for the main topics that i wanted to talk about. which are the things ill be doing besides poker for the winter. so i have been approaching girls quite a bit since ive been here and things are going pretty decent. i actually have a date on thursday. i am getting better at daygame and starting to see some good results. so that means that im going to have more of a dating life.
it will be fun being able to go on dates with girls and better yet have a sexual life with them so that is one thing that i will be doing besides poker.
since my friend came with me from alaska i actually have an opportunity to have a bit more fun this year compared to the last couple years and we plan on doing a lot of things like go to the amusement parks like 6 flags, knotts berry farm, disneyland, las vegas and other entertainment spots.
so this winter ill actually be able to do the things that you go do with friends which will be more entertaining.
and that leaves my workout routine. for the past 3 years i have been working out in the winter but it hasnt ever been anything serious. i use to do about 4 excersises a day 6-7 days a week and eat semi healthy and that was about it. this year i decided to actually do a program that my friend did last year and got really good results from. its called the abercrombie model workout.http://www.abercrombieworkout.com/ you can make fun of me if you want but its a pretty legit workout and from how my friend looked after he was done im expecting to look pretty damn good as well. over all the work out takes about an hour long a day and it has 3 phases the first phase is 1 month where you build strength, the second phase is 2 months long and its where you build mass and muscle. and the 3rd phase is 2 months long and its a toning and sculpting phase. it goes pretty in depth on everyhting from the workouts to the supplements to use and even a suggested diet routine so its a pretty solid routine and its free.
so those are the main thoughts ive been having the last week. ive been putting a lot of effort in all aspects of my life so its been pretty productive so far. the only problem i see with this year is that since i have so many options this year to do other things besides poker i might not end up putting in a large amount of volume like the last couple years. its ok and its not ok. im fine with actually having a life outside of poker and being able to have fun. its not ok because i love me my monies. thats about all though so untill next time cosmonauts stay tuned :)
I think every poker player should work out. I have been doing 20 situps as soon as i get bad beat online so I can refocus for a bit . I seems to help so far. And will prob start adding pushups in the mix . As for the games getting tougher . I think the good players will adjust thier game style I would assume.
ReplyDeleteyeah working out is all around good especially for relieving stress. you're right the good players will adjust but so will the other good players that are improving. i think it will still be a while before the games are really solid but it's getting there
