Surely just eating and drinking healthily is going to be way better than drinking hydrogen peroxide?

Massively this. Sleeping well, eating well, exercising regularly and drinking water surely the nut combo?

Hydrogen peroxide? This stuff?



First I've heard of this. Sounds completely bonkers.

Is the idea that it'll generate more oxygen in your bloodstream, so making you feel more alert? Won't that also increase the risk of oxygen bubbles, clots and embolism?

Happy to apologise if there's a Lancet article! Just sounds incredible to me.

Some health-folk on this forum. Hopefully one of them has a more accurate view than my lay reactionaryism.

Glad to hear you're feeling well, tho. Good luck for the year ahead.

I'm surprised more people don't follow the dream to be your own boss and play poker for a living

The key to health is joe public testimonial, not white coat allopathic propaganda. cheer

Last time I'll mention the Dunning Kruger Effect, other than perhaps once on the politics thread. Can't let the Hydrogen Peroxide thing go by without it though. It is about the most perfect example you could think of. Have a look on Rational Wiki, it's a great article.

Even I'm thinking about sacking off my 40hrs as my old man's office lackey, so I can get back to those MTTs

Well if  you need more encouragment, allow me.

So in the 7 or so months I've played on wpn I've never dropped more than probably $400. Bearing in mind this is majority $20-$30 9 reg 9-mans, and 6 reg 6max, on a network in which you cannot win due to rake (but you obv make it all in rb and lb winnings), this is a surprising feat. Considering my 500bi downswing on Stars has come from much fisher games. I've seen people in the past say "I play better v regs than fish" and yes it is indeed laughable. But the fact remains, I've always made my money (distant memory now) in heavily reg packed games and been utterly obliterated on heavy fish days.

So this week I decided to go hell for leather and did the weekend grind, which is essential to set up a lead for the week's happy hours, then as long as you don't miss a happy, you can't be caught.  It started with the usual top 4 who play $100 hypers (which I can't play) and all sorts getting ahead, so it seems I'd be fecked from the off. But I had a great Friday night and after they topped the bank with previous week's LB winnngs of $500, I was sitting finally break even again for the first time since June.

Saturday, 3 of the top 4 regs didn't even bother to show, wow!! So I did a good 9hr grind, and got my way up to 3rd spot. But guess what, got massively crushed to death, dropped a grand. Went at it again Sunday and today, and guess what.

Simply unfathomable distribution of cards beyond anyone's wildest imagination. 7 months never dropping an amount more than what I'll get back in rb, until the very day I go for top payouts and blaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmm. Truly random I say. Back to square ***** all over again.

Great reading but why on earth do you put yourself through so much torture, go play golf (or anything else apart from poker) and enjoy life before it's too late.

Do you not think this is a clear case of tilt?

Once you were past the most you’d ever lost by 2x do you really think you were playing 100% optimum unless you were superhuman i’d say this was impossible.

Kind of what I was getting at.  All these alternative things you do supposedly make you feel better, but the writing doesn't suggest happiness.  I accept diagnosing off bulletin board posts when I am not a doctor, so could be way way wrong on this.

Hydrogen Peroxide tho.
