It sucks, I will play much more HU from now on - this stuff is so much fun.And I feel like I am in control. HU
First match I played I got run over. I lost some 7 BI to one dude - he ran like Thor on Steroids.
I did however adjust to HU play, and went on crush a couple regs and a fish or two.
Today's HU:
Progress after my Purge and NL50 challenge started (NL50 crushaments, NL100 shot and HU) + Show Spoiler +
The only downside is one tilting thing - table selection.
There are like 50 tables open, and I have to open like 30, sit down 20 times before I get action for 10 minutes
-Should I open 50 billion tables myself and wait for joiners?
Gym
I am starting to get into fitness again.
During a brisk visit of a local supplements shop, which I have entered in order to acquire a mere plastic bottle, I have been persuaded by a very strong, but very, very dumb salesman (I got a sweet spot for Hulk -and the resemblance was truly there)to acquire not only the bottle, but also Protein shake and Amino Acids, totaling $50.
On Friday I woke up all motivated at 6:30 in the morning (Where I have never ever been up before 8 past 2years), and attended a spinning class.
Spitting blood and almost passing out 6 times I went through it (I can't give up in front of a sexy female instructor now can I, despite my arse hurting so badly from the small, female-suited saddles they got on the spinning bikes), and also went on being half asleep the entire day at work after that.
On Saturday I don't know why, but I went to the gym. Luckily I was the only one there, so nobody heard my crying when I was benching 50KG (I used to bench 70kg when my weight was 72. Now I weight 100kg and 50kg on bench press knocks me out for a week).
This madness will continue next week, where I have football on Monday, Accumulator (weightlifting with an instructor or sth) on Wednesday, and spinning on Friday morning before work AGAIN.
This probably still won't be enough - The Hulk suggested that working out twice per two weeks is not enough, and I should workout (like weightlifting stuff) 4 days per week AND have cardio on top of that lol.
Well, maybe some day, lets start with small steps.
Marvel Animation
I got hooked to it so much
After seeing real-life Hulk I became the biggest fan
I saw Ultimate Avengers I&II, Hulk VS Thor and Wolverine and Planet Hulk.

Might try playing HU on FTP. It doesnt matter how many tables someone opens, only 1 shows in the lobby at a time. So pretty easy to get action there now.
Don't think about bench press stats... they aren't relative to anything but.. bench press.
I'm a 70kg kid that bench presses 85kg and my wrists are the bottleneck, go practice martial arts(real ones) not spinning if you really want to go up in bench press stats without bench pressing.
No comments on the poker aspects though because I'm below your level at that.

My high school was all underground gyms in Spartan environment...bench was the BENCHMARK of manliness amongst my peers, and it remains in subliminal parts of my brain.
So I still get that manly feeling about doing bench press, and its so easy to see the results there.
Martial arts would be fun maybe after I finish with my job (The gym in the building is a big advantage)... Would you go for Kung-Fu?
So you found the gold mine. Just be carefull when tilt comes

Be very careful with this train of thought. I really feel from all your previous blogs, that NL50HU is maybe the worst thing you could do.
I am a degen. Do not believe in any of my advice.

I dunno, he likes to be aggressive and FPS a lot, and HU is a good stomping ground for that type of personality. Lemon has also shown he has discipline and can play long hours and many hands at a given limit without endangering his bankroll. Discipline + aggressiveness looks like a very good mix for HU.
I just hope you can balance out your fps without going overboard. Your natural level of aggression is probably just right for HU, so dont take it even further thinking you need to loosen up because it's HU, you're already there. Will be interested to hear how you progress if you make a serious attempt to pursue this.
being too aggro and trying to run over the fish at the low stakes HU could be a disaster, and life tilting. Just play abc poker and be patient to beat them with your hands not with your bluffs.
