poker going well, break even with bonuses so far over 20k hands which is definate improvement! Not only do I still have same bankroll I had a month ago but it's practically (give or take 3bi's) the same as it was before I started.
I've spent last couple of days studying, because I hadn't mastered the style I was given to crush 2nl, and am going to be starting back within next day or two.
Had interesting conversation with a poker player today who plays small stakes, he said key is adjustments and instinctive play. At any stake. I'm looking forward when I start to play winning poker 'instinctively'.
I've been changing my sleeping patterns lately, it started accidentally and now it's purposeful- I need to be up at 6.10am to give me 20 minutes to wake up and half hour to get ready before I leave to go to work. The other day I set alarm for 5 which meant I had an hour to stay in bed semi awake. I reccomend it! doesn't feel like half a chore getting up when you've been lying about for an hour
Have started listening more and more to Eckharte Tolle lately, he's a great spiritual teacher, if anyone hasn't read "The Power of Now" I really reccomend it.
It's funny how you can listen to something / read something and only understand what you're ready to understand. I'd always recognised the whole concept of your life is what you make of it etc because of the concepts and values you hold etc - but it was only re listening to this that I realised the connection between this and quantum physics. Tolle mentions the whole physical effect of observer/observed, that you can't observe something without effecting it. I remember this now as the Heisenberg (sp?) Uncertainty Principle - and it's interesting that i'm seeing the link between the physical phenomena now and life in general.
The link that he makes is to use the same principle in light of how we view our world. Our level of consciousness / unconsciousness has a direct effect on the world we see when we exist in the world.
Going to try to be present today at work and throughout today as much as possible, and away from cycles of conditioned thinking. I'll let you know how it goes when I next post!
Hope you're all having a good week, bank holiday here next week (national holiday) - so that's something to look forward to!
