I was in a similar situation with playing cricket, used to play for Durham County until U16 when i didn't make the Academy, just joined a team in August after watching the Ashes for the 1st time for 5 seasons since Uni and am loving it. Someone said it here "your a long time retired" which is even more true for footy than cricket.

any room for a fat lad? wouldnt mind taking up a sport again and rugby is too scary these days

I've mentioned elsewhere that the World Chess Championship is happening in Chennai.

You have commented on your passion as a pro when watching poker. Here is a tweet from one of the best chess players in the world, American Hikaru Nakamura after the opening game, where the favourite played a very cautious opening and agreed a quick draw against the defending champ:

Getting out of football is also my biggest regret. I'd love to get back into it. Lets face it you just punt it in on a sunday anyways, save Igor some money Wink hahaha.

Seriously tho in your position I'd be playing till the end of the season and seeing how it goes.

"ok Patrick there's 20 players coming today but I told the manager to make sure you get 10 minutes"

"yeah that's fine I've only trained once and my legs are still sore from Thursday it would be nice to get on, are the Persian guys going to be there though? Don't really fancy any bother!"

"nah they are banned now"

Get there and the Persian guy who spat on us, kicked us off the ball and hit us repeatedly is there. He doesn't recognise me I don't think, so game starts..

15 mins in the Persian guy is squaring up to opponent just about to hit him in the face lol.

"Patrick, Patrick get ready."

I literally haven't played a match for 2 years and wa absolutely not prepare to play 75 minutes haha. Managed to play and by the end was prett fucked but played what I felt was really well and they said after the match the number 10 Is yours now, followed by "were going destroy you 2 times a week until your fully fit!"

The games are actually on a Saturday every week so no problem
There and means I save 1k from fcoop main today haha.

10 minutes from home will either late reg the milly or sleep for a few days.

November Goals

[ ] Play 25 days
[ ] Profit 10k after rakeback
[ ] Follow a strict time management plan
[ ] Eat 2 new foods
[ ] Prepare mentally before every session
[ ] 5x very serious study
[ ] Launch website
[ ] Buy a parker coat!!

So far I'm going to lose at least 2 of these. Probably need to play every single day to do number 1. N7'ber 2 is unlikely because I've been playing like 1k hands a day on avg. 3 has been better will decide oer next week, football has helped with this though. Hmmm no new foods so far I don't think. Been preparing well for session, have studied twice, launching website this week and I bought a Parker!

Decided to play some tournments tonight after having a nice meal with some friends.

Ended up playing small schedule of like 700 dollars leaving out all the 320, 215, big 162 etc. Won the 50e 6max and came 2nd in the big 50 after getting coolered so hard hu.

Nevermind though, glad we got a win!

Total was like 6200 dollars so that is pretty nice, but after being so lazy this week I dont really deserve it. Not sure about tomorrow if I will grind MTTs or cash games. Will see.
