Not playing nl Online for a while

i am seriously considering Not playing nl Online for a while, working on my limit game.

The Limit game just feels More Ment for Online.

that said I cant beat the freakin NL games-

the insperation I need hits home in real world

i had a realization today- and I have to say it has had more of a profound effect on me then most anything to date. A friend through barriatric surg support group had a stroke about a month ago. we found about it recently at group as she was back to join us. she has had the VGS and has lost an amazing 100 pounds so far. her journey is meaning full to me in so many ways because she is older then me but at the present moments she is about a hundred pounds lighter then me right now.

the doctors said that this was a minor stroke. but when her doctor shared with her that if she did not have the sugary a year ago. This stroke surely would have ended her life! there is no doubt in my my mind that this warning to my support friend is a warning for me. If i do not choose to make this change in my life I may not have the chance to make it in 5 years! I am not healthy, and the choices that I make do have a serious impact on what my future may be.

I pledge to walk or exercises as much as I can and get stronger and add more exercises to my life.
i will not eat meals bigger then 550 cals in one sitting EVER!
I will order my food/prepare my food to make my journey as easy as possible
use the tools i have! nutrition guides, distractions, tricks, meal planning, water

I know that my time here on earth is in my hands. medical science can only help us so much before it is in our hands how we live and survive.

20 Things I Love About Losing 70 Pounds

Things that I feel and have begun to feel about my wieght loss - I read this post and decided to repost as it has hit me hard and made me feel energized about losing this wieght! I am not at the point that this person was, but I am trully looking forward to all of these feelings for myself.

1. Trying on clothes. I actually like the way I look in them.
2. All the selection of clothes available since I no longer have to shop in the women's department.
3. Climbing up stairs with the groceries without getting out of breath or having to haul myself up with the hand rail.
4. Being able to get off the floor without having to grab onto furniture.
5. Fitting into seats! This is a biggie. Airplane seats, theater seats, restaurant chairs with arms.
6. Being able to cross and uncross my legs comfortably and easily.
7. Not bumping into things in the shower when I turn around. Or in restaurants when I have to scoot between tables.
8. Being able to wear a skirt without my thighs chafing.
9. Being able to hold notes longer -- much improved breath quality (I sing in a community choir.)
10. Being able to hike with my family and keep up.
11. Getting improved cholesterol and triglycerides numbers from my medical checkup.
12. How much better I sleep. (I no longer snore.)
13. No more heartburn.
14. Being able to cut my own toenails.
15. Being able to tie my shoes without getting out of breath.
16. Being able to "hop up" out of bed or a chair rather than having to plan in advance how to haul myself up.
17. Feeling so much healthier, stronger, happier.
18. How proud my family is of what I have accomplished.
19. Feeling about ten years younger.
20. Having people rave about how I look!

What about you? Which of these are YOUR favorites that you've achieved or looking forward to achieving? Any other things you especially love or are looking forward to?

Atlantic City is never safe

i think it was 3 weeks ago now- but A short stocky black man in a nit cap Pulled Down really low tried to mug me in the bathrooms at ceasers @ like 3am. it was a very wierd incident i was in the stall and guy Staired in at me through a 2.5+ Inch gap and then tried to open door forcefully and jiggling it- i jumped up and rammed in to door to hold fast. it was over in 5 seconds- he did not get in and gave up as he heard 3 men enter the room door and heading toward us. if those men did not come in in a extrodinary loud and roudy way i shutter to think of what might have been-

i have looked back on this event ten times +! it had to be an attempted mugging as the time, the premeditation- Looking in at me in creepy way and then Choosing to try and gain entry. and the dissapearence after party dudes enter rest room. I did not report the incedent- But came back to the poker table and confessed what just happened ONLY TO HEAR SOMEONE TELL ME some one was Mugged in the exact same way a month ago!

I laugh at http://youngmanbrown.blogspot.com/ post as his post discribes my reaction to such an event- I did not want to be wrong that someone was trying to mug me- and not just stupid drunk and misbehaving. this fear lead me to not take action. I am happy I had the presence of mind to Jump up when i had the instinct to. Be careful my readers- AC is not a friendly place at anytime of day or night

inspired to post

I am imspired to write a little tonight as I just tore through a friends persoanl blog as if on a mission - but no seriously was a nice gental read with modest comedy at lifes situational humors.

i spent today thinking about how difficult this journy i am undertaking is going to be 4 me. the diet, or how i keep wanting to refer to it the "current diet" just is nagging at me. it's like I know in my heart that I should NEVER eat that way again. I dont have a choice but to lose as much weight as possible be4 the surg. as this will help reduce the risks of complications for me during the surg.

still every day is getting a little harder as if to say the innitial shields of fat supplies are running low and the bodies about to stage it's war w/ me to remain as heavy as possible. the urges to binge eat are with me. having read a ton of info (women food god) i have to trully realize that this is all inmy head. "head hunger" this word has helped me a lot in the last 2 weeks now/. it's new to my vocab. but i oftenthink of itand how iuse to give in to that urge to eat while almost still chewing upon my previous meal. yes I am being litteral.

to take my mind off food i played 2 tournaments. But not my usual, i won the tournament tonight. i picked up budugi inthe last month. fun game. played a tourny i knew nothing about- did not even realize it was PL rather then FL until the 2nd level. well just knowing the basics and good poker positional skills got me to the Final table and on to the win with ahuge 4 to one chip lead over the field. Easy peazy.

getting delt the 1245 PF was Big about the mid stages getting AI PF vs 2 others standing Pat . i had them crushed of course. but still luck is always a part.

Just winding down from what was a crazy two weeks of poker

i seriously feel as if my head is going to fall off my neck. there is feeling that i have put so much in playing poker over the past two weeks that I am just going to colapse at some point. It does not help that I feel a cold comming on, but still .... burn out is a serious concern.

I have to find my relesae. I have come home and for 3 days i have not played a hand online. Just trying to find that balance after so so much poker. I do have to say, after 3 movies and a lot of TV.... i have still been sitting on my ass a ton!@ so as not to affect my form! lol no seriously, I am feeling a lot better after this mini break. i will return to the games I love soon enough, but for now More R&R

Interesting Situation @ the Taj

I walked in to and was seated by the floor, and where as I usually am the reg at harrahs and sit to a table that looks upon me as the fucking one two pro just sat down... I had an interesting realization. I had never once seen any of the players seated at my table. usually one or two I know at least. this was a rare experience... I am instantly excited @ the the idea of creating a new image for the contestants on my own personal game show of my one two table. My mind races and The first thing that comes to mind is play like a complete Spew tart wanna be pokerplayer.

I plainly place 8 chips on the felt side by side and try to shuffle them as poorly as I can. chips are looking awkward in my hand... I look up... i immediately get attn of sharks one of them actually elbowed another and pointed! lol

after three hands go by I decided to up the ante. I raise my button to 6 bucks w/ QJoff. vs UTG limper. UTG bets a Q 2 spades flop for ten, I CC. all while placing the chips awkwardly in pot. turn was a three flush and before I CC this Bet I made sure to check that I did not in fact have any spades... I did not ... I call. the River is a 4flush and opponent bets out 15.

With out thinking too long at all... I start stacking 15 + 15 + 15, deciding that was enough. I stacked the chips and slid this Mini stack of chips only thirty more in to the pot as If it were three Stacks of red!

Opponent went in to a tear! the sharks besides him laughed out loud as He showed them his cards! what was the commotion about I thought... the gentlemen said I cant believe u got there and Tabled King Queen of with the King of Spades Flush instead of paying the 30 more! I look at his hand and as the dealer mucked it, I said I thought my queen was good? and I table QJ off no flush. three gentlemen across the table STOOD UP to see my hand and laughed out loud at the rock that folded to this epic fish that just sat down!

Either way this hand cost me the min - if he calls I get to show and pretend I dont know what a flush is... If folds I get to show and pretend I dont know what a flush is... lol


most players bought my act hook line sinker. and I ate them alive shoving the nuts!

my trip to AC

I have just gotten back from AC. the games this last few weeks were very good. I also qualified for the WSOP free roll at Harrahs.

Rant about those Fuckers at SONY VISA CARD

I sent a payment of 333.33 cents to my card on time for my last payment as I was away on vaca trip. I sent this payment to cover the 2XX.XX dollar statment that was due at the end of the month.

Can u believe these bastards had the Nerve to charge me a FINACE CHARGE ON MY one day late -PAYMENT!!! I am in just total shock! OMG these bastards are fucking retarded! They are cracking down on any mistakes u make now, Beware

I am ready take my game in a new direction

After a lot of debating with myself at end length ... I have made a lot of HUGE decisions in how I am going to approach the game and life. These changes are going to affect everything from how I approach the game, how much time I spend playing the game, and health choices.

This means Proper diet, exercise, and Session scheduling.
Proper Diet.
not sitting in the same spot for a extended periods. 1.2 hours
playing sessions only when I am at my best.

finally i think it's time to invest in my game. a subscription to deuces cracked is in my future. Studying the game should be a good investment in myself.

cash game tables down swing

suffering a huge downswing as of late on FTP, and PS's.
FTP this month = -900
PS = was - 400, but made a very nice recovery back to even = 0

i am playing differntly then i was about a month ago this week. I was just Blasting away at every pot I made a huge hand... and Every ace in the 6max games.

been choosing my hands a little more carefully and the results are really good. graph is a little more linear towards consistency. I think i am going to continue this sytle that is working and SAFE for a month or two and just be a little more careful.

I guess the final straw was shoving over a nit's three bet on a possible st8 board and only one better two pair board. So with my two pair, i turned my hand in to a VERY strong bluff on the turn with top and middle. Nit had top two...

I had abad day

my graph got messed up- but i suffered a Head up loss 300, FR 200 and six max 100
do my graph looked terrble...

OMG my father has entered the world of online poker

after a weeks of occasional railing my playing on FTP and PS my father has decided that he wants to enter the world of online gambling! i am concerend for him. But with good counceling and informing him about the best GTO and about BR managment i think he will be able to earn some cash on the online felt. he is a total rock, so the online world should be a good spot for him to crush the compitition!

be on the look out for OLD PAPPY at your table!

I am looking to take advantage of the VIP program through stars- this will be the first time I have concerned myself with making sure I play every day. I hope that this added benifit of extra rakeback in the form of freerolls is going to be worth the extra time that I will be putting in.

this really suprised me on my last trip on the 13th April. there was a team of two working together. and omg were they raking it in. two very young kids. There signals were obvious to me. chip movment along with table talk... most obvious play that PROVED this was I saw the kids cards next to me... KQ suited. his buddy bet out on a raised pot after the flop of King, three, nine. the pot was bet for $16. and the bigstack holding King Queen, folded like a cheap suit with 3 callers in front of him. three to the turn... big bets and raises here. and with a deuce hitting the bored, the partner gets it all in with his set of threes to take it down.
IDK about you, but if the pot is 25 and I have KQ on that flop I'm not insta-folding with 3 others in for 16 unless i have insider info.

So be careful kiddies, it's a cruel game. Keep your eyes open

unfortunate new year day hand lolz.
