Live Poker + Man Of Excuses

Well, I haven't really updated my blog because I have been playing live poker at the Muckleshoot Casino. I was playing some $1/2 spread limit which is the equivalent to No Limit but now I am playing $3/5 spread. I feel like I have an edge on these games and definitely feel like they are very profitable and will help me in general in my poker game. I was donking off money on the $1/$2 after losing the biggest pot of my life. I had called a raise with KQ flopped the nuts and got my money in with four other people with the best hand at the time. Another, guy had a straight like me, one guy had a set of J and another guy I dunno wtf he had. Well, the T ball hit on the river filling the guy with the set up and I felt like such a scrub. After that I pulled out more money which was a no no because I played like dog ass because I was so on tilt oh well. I went back the next day and won money back and then some so its not that bad. I need to get in the habit of not going on tilt after taking a beat like that live. I am usually good about it online because I am seeing so many hands but live I am really working on it. After losing a big pot from now on I am gonna just take a couple of deep breaths clear my mind and let it go maybe even take like a 5min break. I am going to try to go the casino at least 2-3x a week while still trying to keep the same volume that I am playing online. Now that I typed this I probably will only go 2x a week so that I can maintain my online volume. In terms of playing online, I am doing alright this month I have made in between $400-$500 this month running at around 25-30% ROI which is what sharkscope is telling me right now.

On another note, I was absolutely getting flamed by one of my friends and she told me that I am a man of excuses. Well the sad part about it is that I think she is right. This is definitely a growing trend that I need to fix. I am real quick to say I will do x, y, and z but when I do x and z but not y I will come up with some excuse of why I didn't do it. Well the days of that are over and I am trying to do something about it. I am 24 years old now and need to start growing up I guess. To do this I think that I need to establish a schedule. Sigh, I am so against schedules and like to go with the flow but the truth is, I think that it is hurting me and definitely become -ev. I need some structure in my day to not only help me maximize my day, but to know how much time I have to work with doing the day. So I need to sit down tonight and figure out something. I know I want to workout at least 3-4x a week which is also +ev. Right now I weigh 212 and I really wanna get my weight down to under 200 probably around 185-190. I mean I have always been on the bigger side because I played offensive line so I was upwards to like 250 in high school. But, I just want a change for myself.

Anyways thats all I have on this post look forwards to more updates in the future.
