If it´s not okay to post this, just delete it, mods!

Nice to see You Prim!

I got pills for anxiety and sleep last time I was flying and the name for them is "Dramamine". I actually took 2 for 1st and 2 more for 2nd flight. Did help me fall asleep but turbulence definitely wakes You up - so those pills did not really help with turbulence. I was also told by one flight attendant that to fall a sleep You can take "melatonine" if I am not mistaken (chemical that puts You to sleep as she explained). A lot of flight attendants having insomnia issues take that.
I am however looking for a sort of "drug" that puts You to sleep and then they have to literally inject shit to wake You up. In other words, if plane is crashing falling down etc I don't want to witness that horror with 150+ people in the plane, would prefer to go comatose.

Are the pills You suggest of this power Prim?

Even WAY MORE POWERFULL! It´s meant for people with anxiety- and panicattacks. Doesn´t necessarily put you to sleep but completely stops anxiety! But CAUTION: You can get addicted very quickly! It´s a Benzodiazepine! Should be only taken in acute crisis!

I don´t think I can post the link, so just google "Lorazepam" and ask your doc. :f_thumbsup:

I spoke to several people about this, they said it just makes You chill and awake (kind of anesthetic type) so it could be not ideal for me cause You still stay awake during those times?

I think the point of lorazepam isn't to put you to sleep, but to help remove feelings of fear and anxiety, so you might not have to sleep through your flight by taking it. It sort of dulls your senses and relaxes your muscles to help deal with anxiety.

However I would recommend you to consult your doctor for the best way to cope with this, I don't think any of us are medical experts :)

And nice to have you back :f_drink:

Alcohol is worst actually. Tried not once but at least 3x flying and every time there is harsh turbulence it makes You even sicker, You want to vomit more :)

Yes you are. But you´re relaxed, so you´re awake but you don´t have anxiety. It gives you a great feeling, you feel happy an totally relaxed, that´s why it is so dangerous! :f_o: That´s why it´s exclusively emergency medicine!!!

Lost access to my laptop that had access to my original PS log in and email.
Restarted Twitch yesterday so I made this new account which is easy to remember.

Hi guys!
I wish You Happy Orthodox Easter (for those that are celebrating it).
This covid situation will be done soon (apparently things start resuming to normal end of April beginning of May). Despite covid I will be streaming every day.
My idea is to start day with study session (HH reviews, different concepts for equity and EV analysis, PIO solver and Poker Strategy's equilab incorporated etc) and from then on just grind. I will do my best to stick to daily schedule starting at 1pm Serbian time which is in about 45 minutes from now.

Stop by, say hi, I look forward seeing You there :)

Once again, Happy Easter!

Starting grind for today, will stream with whole cards covered in real time. Stop by and say hi!
Sessions are 2h long and I play 3x per day , study 2h before and at the end of the day go over hands and DB (10h of poker activity daily).

See You there :f_love:

Hey!
I used to follow this blog pre 22015 although I never really commented. Do you still play SNG?

Hey!
Welcome man.
I don't play SNGs for 5 years probably. In the meantime played Spins mostly and NLHE 6 max.
I just checked Your blog and see You are playing NLHE 6 max as well. What website are You playing at?

Thanks to all that attended stream today!
Internet was shady today in Serbia, I had it disconnected twice so had to restart stream. Hope You got value as we did about 3h today of studying.
See You later for some live grind or tomorrow for study session.
:welcome:
