I'm really happy about my poker career. Listen. Here's the thing. She has luckily withdrawn pressure from me. Because of understanding, because of our love. This does help a lot. Who is a good father? Loved by children, has good vibration, knows. Sometimes she was like criticizing, my vibration is different and so on. But actually she loves me exactly for who I am. When we are together. She knows me very well. She is actually loving me exactly as I am. So, this pressure was to get things moving in a direction. I repeat: friends and relatives DO influence me a lot. Like they have the power. If my partner says for example: do that, I do that. Or if partner's friend says to me: don't deal with this now, we will take care of it, I don't deal with that subject. So the real power is in my partner's friends and in my partner.
Of course one might argue that you alone have all the power in this world, what you do and all. You still have that. I'm just saying that others DO influence a lot. Maybe lot more than you think. So actually other people have the power. You are always in relationship with others, with other people. So I'm really happy about my poker career. I got it top-notch good. The best.
Two very close people asked me to come back into the game. My partner's best friend and my partner. I then jumped into 6 months learning with full dedication. I now have it. Now she has withdrawn the pressure. See? Other people influence a lot. She is soooo supportive. Unbelievable and amazing that such a person even exists.
People sometimes berate me for all the time I spend playing poker — but they do the same with video games. Others play golf or spend hour after hour watching hockey.

Yeah, it's like only "that nationalist TV program" is alright and other screens, other mentalities aren't... Only "that nationalist radio program" is alright and others aren't... Only "this political view" is alright and others aren't... You see where it's going ♦ Multitude of views, multitude of people, multitude of opinions, simply...

Congratulations!
had really nice FL session. Imagining I have $1k bankroll helps to overcome the scared money issues. So I played back to fish bluffs with re-bluffs even successfully! He donks flop, I call. He bets turn I raise with turned oesd, he calls. I bet river high card, he folds. Thing is - he can also have turned straight draw. I'm happy about my improved game in FL tables. 
was having real battles with tilting fish on lowest FL, 0.02/0.04... managed to hit stuff and yo, so ran like $2/hr but played like 30 min. Ridiculous how you can actually make solid money on these lowest stakes
it is so connected to real life for me my entire career, that im so sick of this high-risk game at the moment. like all of my life is a big risk, a high risk game ♦ ♦ and it doesn't stop, it doesn't slow down... was watching Allen Iverson on NBA, it's like he has "danger" written on his forehead lol.
I love the skill-based attitude but gosh... if you get into it you really get into it. Im free to make decisions yes, the thing is it is evening and im tired... with a little bit better than I was yesterday. Gonna take my psychiatric medicine enjoy the gov support and good night you all lot of progress today... i hope i wasnt too harsh with girlfriend ♦
Really hoping to get a good pro mindset. Was playing normally, then maniac jumped into one of the tables. Played him for 1hour+ made some money, then I quit. In the past I used to think less "pro-mindset"... but now... even if I made like billions, I would still have to quit no matter if I win or lose. Gooood mindset thank you so much for this experience Yup he raise/called the river with Qhi again. But now I'm done ♦
Im doing extremely fine with my poker career, I wouldn't want it to be any different at the moment and all coaches keep telling me: "DON'T move up fast".
Now my girlfriend has put pressure back on me though that I should make some money. I have zero clue. So it is actually different from my poker career. Remember, poker is not to get lot of money fast. Sooooo yup she just doesn't get what she wants this time, I guess.... 
Long break from computer, family, new year... so we arrive to January which is good for a new monthly goal setting. the December one sucked alot i dont like family but i was giving my best improving relationships. anyway.
for January I set love and spiritual practice. by love I mean developing healthy love towards the world again.
physical fitness/daily training is so important. if not just for health, then just for good willpower. let's say I attack a poker goal and can't get through. then I start regular training physically. now it doesn't matter so much if I get through or not, but I'm so much more happy
mindblowing... someone recommended this radio in his blog on PokerStrategy... im so surprised by the content. nobody has ever told me this
had a really nice person on table... with some reads on him. So seems like I'm back to Fixed Limit after a jump to NL... lot of studying

I like FL Hold'em as part of 8-Game and HORSE, but I've never played it as a cash game.
it's fast-pace, you get to lot of turns and rivers, very opponent-dependent, fun clicking buttons fast vs maniac ♦
working with entitlement tilt. im stronger in my session but have this habit from the past "im a winning player so im entitled to win"... better to not have that and focus somehow on outplaying others the best
on the river im like: he might try to bluff if I check. lol.. this is No Limit... big decisions
