Poker Blogs

I have been going through some bizarre mental illness or neurology problem. I get the shakes sometimes. Sometimes the shakes get out of control. It happens when I play poker too which is the last of my worries because it happened to me while driving and now I don't have any confidence in driving. I feel like I am pretty fucked. And in relation to poker it was like I finally got the AC fixed, I finally was finding some mindset A game poker strategies that helped a ton, I knew where my leaks were. Like, you can't reallly just say to your leaks play better poker it has to be more specific and I was finally getting specific. Poker is all I really have now and I don't have it because of this shaking bit. I could play and be fine or I could be shaking so much I have to guide the mouse with my left hand trying to make the correct bet size.

cook some noodles clean the place a bit. today was raining so a chill day didn't have the appetite to do much except relax.
gonna buy some movies to watch on YouTube.

what more do I want out of this life? some things but im gonna keep it a secert for now lol.
do I miss poker? not really but I miss making money from it though lol but I can't play online poker as it is too tempting to lose my profits at table games as I can't resist sometimes haha.

what else is there for me to do I ask myself if im not having a kid and staying single but this is not set in stones so who knows

GL to all the grinders who are still putting in work at the tables I can't believe u guys can still make a living out of it.

All this poker talk and I find myself playing again. It's related to Alan Wake 2.

I know when I wake up in the morning I have some valuable activities that I can take part in. I can garden, I can play my guitar, I can go for a walk, I can read, I can connect with friends. These are all Rockstar Activities. Sometimes when I am bored I don't want to contemplate philosophy / life. I want a game like Alan Wake 2 to cut through the time. Then I realized poker is probably / maybe a better activity than that. One similarity I realized between Alan Wake 2 and poker is that the cortisol gets churning in the belly and the adrenaline starts pumping through the veins. Sometimes it is a kind of uncomfortable sensation but sometimes it leads to flow and some sort of high. It's probably something that humans can get addicted to. I noticed there are times when I don't want to play Alan Wake 2 or poker because I don't want to jump into that suffering feeling. I'm risking an uncomfortable feeling to win a flow state and to win at the game and making me slightly happy. I'm also risking losing at the game which makes me slightly sad. I could also lose a lot and sit in a lot of suffering or I could win a lot and feel better than God.

Between a GTO trainer and GTO charts it's incredibly easy to play well pre-flop versus what I was doing in 2010. Although it's pretty pretty difficult to play perfect. I was just thinking about one today. I raise sb. bb 3bets. I have Jd9d. I'm supposed to raise about 60% and call 40%. The RNG says 59. My inclination is just to call but that is wrong. I have no idea why I raise the Jd9d in this spot so much. I mean the solver has the bb 3betting some J + small hands (suited)...

Playing better pf makes post-flop go a lot smoother but I need some work post-flop because the turns and rivers are where the money is made. The (solver) strategy and betsizes really owns 2010 poker.

I just wonder what I should be doing with my time. I spend a fair amount of time on the job hunt M-F but on my downtime what should I be doing? How do I get better post flop without a solver? Should I even be playing poker in the first place? Should I read The Burnout Society for like the 5th time?

I already read a couple of Simone Weil's books. There is no straightforward path of what to read next it seems. But it kind of is funny that I was going down this spiritual path of Catholicism and now I am playing poker. I guess I am just wondering about the endgame with poker. It's Saturday I have time on my hands. I think I would prefer to read a good book than to play poker but the new strategies of poker really interest me.

Malheur. I am not even sure if I understand this word because it supposedly has a hard time being translated in English. I mean a simple translation would be bad-time. Misfortune, woe, adversity, affliction with a hint of impending doom. Surprisingly, I am not there at the moment but I think I do understand this word very well.

I had a job interview the other day that I thought might have been the one but it was not meant to be. I am not sure what the owner and store manager wanted but I guess I was not it. They have a business to run but it hurts a little bit. A lot of it is the time and effort involved. I was likely the last cut made but if they don't want me for their business it's their loss and potentially my gain. If I think a little bit harder and reflect I'm certainly flirting with malheur. I'm in a shitty position and don't know the best way to get out. We've been here before. I'm just venting. I'll cross the bridge and ascend.

I don't think I love my literal neighbors. They are kind of lame. I probably love a stranger from Gaza more. I remember I used to come home drunk and sing Pavarotti at 2am at this one apartment and no one complained. That is love for the wretched not love our neighbor. It is easier to love if you know nothing or everything.

everyone has a life now or something, im retired with so much fucking free time to do what I want, maybe its time I go back on reddit or something. rikd I am reading some novels but reading bores me I like audio books more. I fall asleep reading books lol. there is not much to do with the resources I have so I gotta just like humbly n modestly but hey im grateful I aint slugging out at a 9 to 5 cause I did one of that that n it was brutal. oh well rather chill n relax then work hard for someones dream. I need to find a way to make a bit more money too cause I have so much free time n not a lot of capital to work with. I go to the casino 2x a month to pass time. I also don't think I want kids anymore too much work at my age. I don't know life is super peaceful atm like a buddha life. I need to go to a club or something n have that kind of life again maybe not sure. but right now I don't have much to do so im writing this blog.

Dear fellow degens,

I know what you’re thinking: “if I had 2 first names instead of a first and last name I’d be a popular poker vlogger too.” Well sorry but there can only be one Brad Owen. And we got him on the pod to explain how awesome poker vlogging is. (Actually it turns out he started vlogging so his parents wouldn’t disown his degenerate gambling ass).

Or something like that. You’ll have to watch to find out what he said exactly.

Anyways, he gets down into the nitty gritty. He tells us everything from:

How he found poker

How long he spends on his Vlogs (fucking long)

How much $ he makes from YouTube

What the future holds

Enjoy episode 17 of the Table 1 Podcast with Brad Owen

Cheers!

Whatever will be, will be.

I'm still writing my novel. Up to 80 some pages. I still feel a bit blocked. It's like what I've added some of it is decent and some of it moves the story but a lot of it could probably be cut and it wouldn't matter too much. I'm still stuck on where the story is going and how to finish it. I keep going just figuring I'll figure it out but the writing is ok but I'm not figuring it out yet. People tell me to keep writing which I do but I have to reel it in at some point and tell a good story and end it well. Maybe I should just say fuck the reader and write whatever I want. End the book abruptly with nuclear acopalypse. Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be.

I went back to my MacBook Pro today from 2009. 15 years old and it still works. Although it's operating system is too old to run barely anything. It does have a working Notes (word processor). I prefer Notes to anything Windows has to offer. I am thinking of transferring my desktop to Linux. Be that kind of nerd. I was a Firefox / DuckDuckGo nerd on my MacBook Pro.

I'm flourishing in a flourish of Byung-Chul Han. The Compulsion Of Authenticity from The Disapearrance of Rituals has to be one of the better chapters he has written.

It really is que sera, sera though. Whatever will be, will be. Makes me want to read Seneca vs. Jesus. Marcus Aurelius Meditations vs any other religious crap. Sometimes things feel overwhelming. It would be nice to believe in faith. Life is not that simple.
