Slowly back to the Grind...

I'm slowly trying to get back to playing some poker again. Things didn't really start of great this month but hopefully I can finish the month on the positive side of the $0 line!

I came across a really great 2+2 post about life and poker ( link ).
I recommend that even though it is somewhat long, both for pokerplayers but also non-pokerplayers. If you only want to read one chapter read the one called: 'Success"

Some great quotes from it that I've post-it'd on my computer:

Quote:
“You should eliminate hoping from your game. You shouldn’t hope your opponent doesn’t bet, doesn’t raise, etc. Whatever happens, it’s just another chance to make a correct decision.”
- Phil Galfond

Quote:
“Doing your best is all you can do. If you’ve done your best, there’s nothing to get upset about or regret, no matter the outcome”
- Tommy Angelo

Quote:
In life, happiness is the ultimate currency.
- crashwhips

It really helps me to look at this daily and make sure I don't forget it when I'm playing poker.


In the rest of my life not much is happening except that I have a stupid foot injury which resulted in me not being able to play squash/bike for 3 months. I'm trying to avoid getting fatter at the moment which is going good on some days and not so good on others.

Went to a wedding a couple weeks back wearing a suit for the first time in my life:

Last week I went to visit the newborn twins of my nephew:



Even though they were really cute and it was great to see them, they made me realise that I'm definately not yet ready to start having some kids

Also started rewatching BSG and even though the series is great it annoys me to no end that at the beginning of the episode there is a quick-preview of what is going to happen that episode... I mean, I'm already watching this episode, no need to spoil what is going to happen!

Also been watching some other series like breaking bad (so far pretty solid), curb (amazing season although yesterdays ep was not that great), entourage (waiting for this show to finally finish :x), Futurama (hmmm hit or mis sofar for me), Louie CK (same as Futurama).
Can't wait for next month to roll around and give me back some of my favorite tv-shows!

I guess this was just a little bit of a rambling blog.... they can't be all winners.
Robin out.
