Pimp My Life ....the life of an aussie overstayer

So my first day started off well enough with a early morning training session in my garage , which is where my training will begin until I get a gym membership at our work gym , $29 a month which seems cheap although free would be better

Day 1: Legs ......so I've done a little bit of research into some exercises I can do at Home with just some free weights, dumbbells and barbell/bench so ...

Squats 4sets 8-12 reps .....weights didn't worry to much here about how heavy as I just wanted to get technique right first.

Lunges 4sets 20 each leg.....painful I might add , I probably should of weighed myself first too coz I sweated my arse off doing these and after my session I weighed 90kg 14 st.

Leg extentions 4sets 35 reps .

Calve raises 4 sets 30 reps.

Session seemed small but I guess I can add extra exercises as I go....

also started day1 of my 100 day challenge of doing 100 push ups and 100 crunches by day 100....so before each session I just do as many of each exercise as possible .......

Poker : ok so this didn't go as well as planned .....plan was to do small session 2hrs and review ....playing nl2 FR doing BSS course as well as .....so it went well for most of session was up 100 bb early on ,then dropped that to a fish AKo lost to AJo on A?k flop when he hit runner runner for flush........

was going to post hands but my pokertracker is not showing hands any more from that session ? and so lost that hand , then right at the end of the session tilted 100bb off feeling really clueless to why I even called allin with nothing and no draws ...just laughed at myself and went and washed dishes as punishment lol, but I was gonna do them anyways so not really punishment :f_grin:....

will post graph next post, witch is pretty crap but need to learn how to post them any how .....

Day 2 of training : Worked on chest and biceps , just low weight with 8-12 rep per set ...........didn't wanna go to hard as pushed it bit to much on day 1 and I can hardly move my legs lol ( no pain no gain ) ♠_cool:........Played 2nd night of indoor beach volleyball with new team prob didn't help the legs either.

100 Day Challenge day 1: 40 crunches
17 push ups

day 2: 40 crunches
15 push ups ♠_evil:

Poker :

Did some reading in BSS course articles b4 playing small session 200 hands only 2 tabling atmo getting use to pokertracker and HUD, finished session +EV which was great coz didn't fall into my GO ON TILT end of session run lol......then reviewed hands in session and again cant post hands ,dunno where they have gone now ?? may be some settings I have to sort out to save hands for longer... well atleast I got my graph but maybe I shouldn't show it lmao

I know I know crushing it big time lol ,quiting my job to go pro

Hey xdowntimex,

So you've made the journey across the Tasman looking for a better standard of life like a lot of Kiwis have. (My stepfather of 35 years is a Maori).

So where did you settle. Most Kiwis tend to head for Sydney or Brisbane because of the magic weather. Not so many head for Hobart (NZ weather).

Glad to see you got your signature and graph upload sorted out.

Interesting blog. Will follow.

Cheers Lazza for some of the help on sig/graph mate.....yea we first stoped off in Melbourne coz we both loved the place , I love sports so thought Melbourne has it all ..........we then headed and now live in Perth , my brother and my wife's father are both living here so we wanted to be closer to family and follow the money here as well .........have been following your home game blog abit too but yet to join in the fun, lifes busy atmo and getting 200 hands in is max for now ♠_grin:............

P.S GO THE ROOSTERS but I think Manly's halves might have the edge (NRL)

Cool. Yea family and life in general is always more important than poker, although sometimes not as profitable.

Glad to know you've been following the home game blog. We have our 1st Club Championship coming up in about a month (12 Events) so that should be interesting.

I agree. Manly looked so strong against Souths last week. I think they are hitting their peak at the right time and will overturn the 4-0 defeat in the 1st week of the semis.

Your fantastic five team brought me here :f_biggrin:. It is good to see that you want to "measure" your progress in poker and personal life. What an achievement would be if you can improve your poker and your lifestyle at the same time. Well done so far.

I really wish you all success on every area and i will definitely follow your progress here.

Good luck.

Thanks man and best of luck to you also ♠_cool:....

Days 3 and 4 training sessions were short but sweet just working on shoulders and triceps.....p.s Legs still hurting ♠_o:..
