Been grinding pretty hard and sleeping really early on my days off for some reason. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the insane volume I'm putting in at the gym, maybe I'm just exhausted from climbing almost all the way out of the hole for the month. Either way, I've been on two distinct sleep patterns; coupled with trying desperately to shift these love handles and trying my best not to completely neglect my girlfriend, there's not been an awful lot of time to keep my follower(s) updated.
Here's the cliffs I guess: Been working very hard at the gym lately. I guess I'd sort of plateaued with my wellbeing and general fitness, as the rest of my life was too good to miss. Then BAM! £2k downswing, a ton of muffins to ease the poker hangovers and all of a sudden I couldn't bench press anything. Back in reasonable shape now, and have an 8 week plan in place, because I'm not allowed to join Mitch, Tom and Neil in their 100m/400m/800m bet, because in the deluded world of the Johnson, to quote, I "sure am fat enough."
Poker obviously started off pretty badly, hit a horrible low point and then grinded it almost back to even. Losing something like £200 for the month now, which feels like such a massive win (obviously, it's on the back of a 20BI upswing...). Going for my last session of the month after dinner tonight. I always run good after steak so please please please breakeven month. Hopefully this won't be a spoiler, as everybody has seen the new Batman now, but this feels like I've climbed all the way out of the pit, the sunlight is washing my face, and all that's left to do now is jump. I either get out or we're right back in it. Might get myself in a £5/10 game just to more accurately represent that metaphor 'cause I quite like it.
Been having a lot of fun at the tables since that fateful night. Lots of super small prop betting action, side bets, even got a Lodden Thinks going the other day. Just anything to remind me that poker is fun and the people we meet at the poker table are really unique. I'll be throwing some money around tonight in the newly renovated £1/1 games at Dusk tonight if anyone fancies being paid to listen to a strange, mentally subnormal child speak utter nonsense in an oddly deep voice and make bets on anything and everything. Will have to behave myself on the £1/2 though, sorry.
Results for the month going into tonight:
Net win:
- £156.50 over
121 hours.
Will be back with a trip report in around 12 hours.
