Update from Macau
exalted, Jan 13 2012
I'm in the middle of a Macau trip with the girlfriend. Poker-wise, the trip has been a little rough - I took a shot at 100/200 HKD, the table became a "must-move", became 3handed, and I lost a huge AQo vs TT allin pre. Besides that I've been playing well so nothing to really complain about. We've been playing at the Wynn, which is pretty cool as it's packed with high-stakes tables; I really need to get my act (bankroll) together and enter that arena. I saw Johnny Chan (@300/600) and heard that Ivey and Antonius are at the nearby Starworld playing nosebleeds. Not so much a fan of Ivey after hearing his exorbitant/mo salary at FTP but will maybe check it out.
Outside of poker, Anna went bungy jumping off the Macau Tower, the world's highest jump. I didn't participate but will probably be forced into it the next time she jumps. She really enjoyed it and is uploading the vid to Youtube, so I'll have her blog about it. Took her to Morton's which was pretty nice. Now she has a constant craving for crab cakes! That's about it for now - will post pics when we get back to Taiwan.

Okay, Sept. is over
exalted, Oct 01 2011
Just want to churn this entry out so I can move on and put it past me.
September has been mentally brutal. After my last blog entry, I didn't really make any changes to my diet or (lack of) exercise routine. I continued to maintain decent volume online but continued the standard "run bads".
My play started to deteriorate and I had small tilt bursts, specifically against shortstacks (where you can assuage yourself that the mistake "wasn't that bad").
There have been so many small but important things to take care of and many other little things that are "slightly life-tilting". But ultimately my life has slowly shifted to a suboptimal state. There hasn't been much for me to look forward to lately and I feel weak and powerless.
I'm going to state specific steps I will take to improve my situation. I tend to like to set grandiose goals and then never get to them, so one step at a time. I will at the very least maintain these and then step it up week by week.
- 20 pushups avg. daily
- play badminton 1x a week
- jog around neighborhood 1x a week
- take dog out walking 1x week (not my dog)
These are pretty pathetic even by American standards but one week at a time. I used to be pretty fit but I have to admit those days are long over. I'm currently 170cm/81.6kg so no more procrastinating.
That's about it. Finally, would like to discuss with Forex traders and enthusiasts so please PM if you're into that.
