Quantum Entanglement (A Love Story)
I've been sleep deprived for the past 2 weeks.
This past day and night I got about 14 hours of sleep, and I still feel a bit tired.
I can accomplish 99% of my daily tasks while sleep deprived.
Unfortunately, poker falls into the 1% of things I can't do while tired.
My results haven't been good over this stretch either. I'm up a 2 digit amount on the trip.
I really need to shore up the sleep issue soon, and also start producing at the tables.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
It's alright because I love the way you lie...
I'm a little dejected.
I've played while exhuasted twice this trip, and predictably got my ass handed to me both times.
I was half tired today and on the fence of playing. But I didn't want to take two days off in a row, so I drank a Monster energy drink, went, played my A-game, and lost.
Now I've gotta wait out this energy orgy within myself, JFC, another night of horrible sleep sits waiting for me like a wolf.
Friction.
Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces in contact, acting in a direction opposite to the movement or attempted movement.
Friction exists in the mind, too.
A little bit of friction is necessary to keep your thoughts on track.
Without it, one is possibly totally insane. Thoughts can become a slip 'n slide.
Too much friction becomes a burden. Thoughts become a chore and unpleasant or depressing.
I think there was too much friction in my mind for the beginning stages of this trip so far.
As of right now I feel a lot better.
Which correlates with the 18+ hours of sleep I nailed on Saturday. The first day of the trip getting as much or more sleep than I normally get (10-12 hours/night).
Wesley So has said he gets more than 10 hours of sleep per night. Phil Galfond has said the same. I don't feel bad about it...
have you found out what a blackhawk flop is?

My dad rented out NES games to local videostores as a side hustle when I was young. As a result, I had access to well over 100 games.
I'm going to get my kids reading before they turn three. I saw software exists for babies to show them how to match letters and words together as if they are shapes. I also have seen stuff that teaches phonetics to young children. Of course I will read to them voraciously, all the classics (Seuss, et al) and do what I can to foster a great place to learn at home.
There will be videogames, but only under strict discipline and supervision before they are 10.
Yeah, you can play Mario and Zelda for a fixed increment, but you're also going to set goals, give oratory to the family, and write up reports and manuals for how to play the game.
How should I go about bringing that up?

NVM. It takes me about 3.5 seconds to break these absolutely moronic LLMs.
Made a friend at poker.
Played at a table full of cool guys having fun.
Won. Life is good, for now.
My doctor said it would be fine for me to be out of state for a few months.
Her assistant told me it's against company policy. WTF. "**** you."
Joke world remains. I dunno how to get my prescription on the road.
I have enough through January though.
Hand History of the Day:
I open UTG1 to $10 with I don't even remember.
Folds to SB who asks me how deep I am (he has a stack and so do I lmao)
Me: I have $300.
Me: You've gotta be joking.
SB: (tanks)
Table: starts erupting
SB: folds
BB: folds
Me: (leans over the table) What are you doing??
For some reason my neighbor liked that question.

I think I have pretty good comedic timing. My comments are usually very brief and to the point yet get a pretty good reaction usually.
I would only play on a stake under 3 conditions:
1) it's a full stake
2) it's either for a million+ buyin game
3) or a stream
llm's don't think - they are memories of the internet
Right now, my Turing-test-of-choice for LLMs is to ask it to create a mobius strip.
It ****ing can't.
It doesn't understand that there is a twist in the ring.
It only produces the ring.
When are you gonna be streaming next 😀 we can chat shapes and poker
