Took a much needed day off yesterday and didn't play a single hand of poker. I did a four-hour body workout and then played over an hour of pickup hockey at the outdoor rink nearby. I will have to take pics of the rink because the ice is amazing for an outdoor facility. My only hockey experience is playing on the river near my house when I was growing up, I never played in a league as I focused on all the other sports (hockey is also ridiculously expensive and your parents have to give up their own lives to drive you to practice nonstop....it's kind of insane that so many Canadian kids do play hockey since it's by far the most restrictive and 'elite' of all sports if you want to make a serious go of it). I also watched Milos Raonic crush again and I'm pretty excited to watch him play Roddick in a couple hours in the Finals of the Memphis ATP Tour event. I have been betting him pretty strong lately and it's fun to have him come through in tough spots. He's almost a 3-1 dog (realistically he's probably a bigger dog than that) so I'm only going to be making some small sentimental bets on him (gotta ride the rungood till it bucks).

Healthwise the four hour body stuff is really getting me excited. I can already visibly see a noticeable difference in my body and I'm finally starting to burn some of the fat that I've been unable to get rid of since I dropped from 205 pounds to 175. I've gotten used to not having all the carbs/sugar highs and I'm no longer even craving dessert. On a more negative note, a few days ago I noticed a strange pressure/ringing in my left ear, and it's only gotten worse over the past few days. I read up about it online and it seems like I may have something called Tinnitus which is an incurable ringing in one of your ears that can even lead to deafness. Kind of scared the shit out of me but it seems there's nothing I can do unless I luckbox and it's something else. I intend on seeing a doctor tmr to get to the bottom of it. It drove me crazy for the first few days and I could barely sleep but I seem to be dealing with it a little better (I can sleep now). Still mega-tilting.


During my last 1/2 session I found myself incredibly bored and making some FPS plays and just wasn't sharp at all, so I figured it was time for another shot at 2/4.

Cue doomswitch blah blahblahbalbhablahbalbhal drop 1/3 of my roll wheeee.

Here are some fun hands...I think I won 2 buyins the entire session and lost all these. 1k under EV ofc.
