1/3 Grinding and Bankroll

My client was discharged after she took my advice which was awesome. I got rear ended by a car and now I have back pain which sucks and I could hardly sleep last night. At least I took a nap after court. Still running pretty bad though.

So sorry about the car and your back :(

Sorry about the accident! I got rear ended several years ago and had to get physical therapy but medicals bills were all paid for and I was compensated handsomely for it. The physical therapy really helped.

Thank you nice people. I went to get it checked out and I have muscle sprains and a mild concussion. Hopefully some rest and time will help.

Some run good will help too. Get well soon Dumbo

Thanks. I’ve taken some time off work but my side effects from the accident (all of which I have not mentioned) have not been fun. Trust me, you never want a head injury or bodily injury from a car collision. It really sucks!

At least I ran really well last night to provide some relief from an otherwise crappy situation.

Been taking it easy lately, watched the main footage on the couch and was really bummed that Tony Gregg did not make the final table. What a stand up guy in my interactions. Someone we should all emulate. He's very "namaste" and when he loses a pot just says "blessings." I heard he moved far way away to live with his new family. Very cool dude.

Pity party incoming

Poker has been whatever but physical therapy has helped with the injuries.

Some fish thinks I angled him for “hiding” my chips when I started the hand with $900 and he was short stacked…i 3! Him pre he called I checked flop and he jammed and I snapped and he lost then suddenly claimed he didn’t see how much I was playing…the insanity, it never ends. Floor of course awarded me the pot. He then said some things that got
Him banned. He is mad at me that I
Got kicked that player got banned.

He won’t let it go and now follows me around the poker room calling me a liar and scam artist all bs as he’s a sore loser and apparent a hothead from what I’ve heard. I told him to cut it out and not to defame me or else. He got banned that night and now keeps bothering me. Yikes. What did I do in my past life.

I’ve been asking people around the poker room ever since the accident what the secret to happiness is. I’ve gotten a lot of good answers. Money, doing something you are good at, health, family were all mentioned. Being injured made me reflect more on life and what’s important to me.

I think that’s why all things considered I’ve made it this far in life. I have a lot of those things people mentioned.

Blessings. Running well more recently. Getting stronger thanks to the PT too. Still grateful.

The other night I run it up at plo and a seat opens up at 10/10 plo so I go play. The game breaks not long after. I return to 1/2 plo with what I had earlier as has always been the rule. Colluder husband makes a stink and complains to the floor. Floor rules I must go south to table stakes because I changed games even though it had only been 30 minutes. Going forward rule will be if you change games you can go south and they will evaluate on case by case basis if you’re trying to game the system. lol.

I invite you to visit my website:

I’ve decided that Fridays's MLB fix will be available for free on my website. Plus, we've got a great surprise for you – an MLB trivia contest with an exclusive discount for the first 30 people to answer correctly!

So they wanted you to go south? LOL. Idiots. I would change tables every time I was up quite a bit, then come back! Let the floor deal with it if they want.

Apparently they’ve already reversed course and it will not be the rule going forward. Just for me! Hahaha. Better this way as I needed to get some sleep and the ruling pissed me off so much I quit.

I would have been thrilled. More than happy to pocket my winnings and just run my buy-in up again 😉

Not me. I wanted the table covered. Oh well.

While poker has been whatever lately I got my mid year evaluation at my amazing job which was outstanding. Yippie!

Maybe one hearing next week. A little weekend work but get to decompress too.

I was in a great mood at the end of the day today after hours of interviewing my clients in various states of mental stability.

Toxic pro must have been running bad at 5/5 because he sat to my right at 1/2 plo, giving me the opportunity to stack him a couple times which was nice, I have to admit. After all the verbal abuse it felt like some semblance of Justice. Enjoyed some vanilla lattes and rest over the weekend.

Very practical tips for increasing happiness and dopamine:

Exercise, good sleep, healthy diet, bananas avocados nuts, enjoying simple pleasures. Sunlight, learning new things, being creative.

Saw a friend this afternoon and it really boosted my mood even though we were both just commiserating about everything bad happening in our lives right now. Suporting each other was very uplifting. Caring for and feeling cared for.

Got some sun lattes walking stairs socialization and grind. Grind is not a challenge anymore so I donÂ’t get fulfillment out of it but I might play my friend heads up at mixed which he is better than me at. So that would be a challenge.

Got my work done today and felt relieved. I was pretty anxious when I fell asleep and woke up.

Now to just unwind and relax before trying to get to bed early.

You are a strange bird.

Had a rough sleep again which has been a pattern since the accident, was very tired all day including in the hearing. Thankfully I pulled out a win anyway for my client and he’s going back home and I also filed an appeal that I’d been working on for months. The hospital argued my client needed to be involuntarily admitted as an inpatient due to concerns about his nutrition and eating habits when his medical records showed he was still overweight…!

Also played my friend heads up at mixed games and booked a win on our first session. I ended up $130 playing 10/20 and also booked a decent win at plo earlier in the evening.

Got ok sleep for a change although still not ideal, I was so exhausted from the night before my body finally succumbed to the sleep deprivation, talked to some clients and talked a doctor out of having a hearing. Got some sun, had some caramel lattes, rowed, walked. Took care of myselfÂ…!
