Mind, Body, and Spirit

On May 30, 2008 thousands of players will begin to embark on their journey to participate in what was once considered to be the most prestigious venue of tournaments ever to grace the circuit. I’ll explain that last statement later. When I started playing poker the entire World Series was a total of 21 days long, the number of entrants for each event was in the hundreds, there weren’t any mixed game tournaments, and with the exception of the main event the maximum buy-in for any tournament was $5000. My, oh my how times have changed!

WOots happy this morning, weighed in at 206.8! The weight is coming off. It's 9am so this isn't really my blog for the day. So far I got up at about 6:30am and went walking and hiking up a steep hill for an hour and a half. Got home ate a large chicken breast ( i am starting to really hate these things) a slice of banana bread and 2 grams fish oil pills. Feel awesome.

And my blog is pretty now. This is a work in progress. I would appreciate all your help in telling me and Dadis how to make this thing bullets awesome. Does the blog page look good? Ship me your questions / comments about new NWP Blogs 2.0!

Today I have been really stoked. Got up about 7am to walk and did a short walk followed by sprints up a steep hill. After I walked for about 30 minutes so I got in a little over an hour. Breakfast was a protein shake and thin slice of banana bread (horrible I know but mom's cooking mmm) and 2 grams of fish oil. I am SHOCKED my energy levels are as high as they are, and I attribute this to the high dose of fish oil I have been eating. They're pretty damn awesome I must say. I can't be eating more than 40 grams of carbs a day sometimes lower and I feel awesome.

If you have to eat bad food like that at least eat it early in the day and do your cardio first! Those are the rules and I follow them.

About 11 had an interview and had meal 2 at about 1pm which was 6oz turkey and a small slice of swiss cheese.

2pm had a kick ass workout with my buddy and at 3:30 had another protein shake with 2 grams fish oil

6:00 had a large chicken breast with some steamed veggies

Ok I'm finally updating this thing. Sadly I had some setbacks last week that I don't really want to get into too much. Last week was shitty, on 4/23 I worked for a contractor and was treated like a slave for 9 hours for 8 bucks an hour. Didn't really get any breaks and there wasn't any water at the job site. On 4/24 I got into a car accident and it's a terrible time in my life to have MY FIRST EVER ACCIDENT. I'm down on my luck and looking for a job and BAM 13 years of clean driving down the shitter. I'm fucking SHOCKED that I've driven drunk high on every drug cocktail known to man and never had a problem but it was STRESS that managed to get me. I was coming up on some traffic and didn't pay attention and rear ended someone in my step dad's truck. I've been riding my bike and taking mass transit to go to job interviews and turn in applications since.

Yesterday I woke up feeling really good. My whole body just felt TIGHT, that's the best way to describe it. Thank GOD I'm back doing windsprints! They are easily without a doubt the best and fastest way to lose fat. Don't believe me check out some world class sprinters physiques.

Yesterday I weighed in at exactly 208 AGAIN. I attribute this mostly to the 2 fast food meals I had friday. They were a meal at In-n-out (1 double double meal with diet coke, 1 burger protein style) and some taco bell ( 1 chicken club chalupa and 2 1/2 beef and potatoe burritos). I had diet coke with both "meals". Usually I won't eat that crap even on a cheat day, but I was out and without food and had to eat something. This is a good example of why it's so damn important to portion out your days food into small containers and take it with you.

Anyway yesterday I woke up at about 7 am did an hour and a half walking for cardio and my meals were really good all day.

I am running a Charity Poker Tournament for my local Jaycees Chapter in Westfield, NJ. The Tournament is set for May 10, 2008 in Kenilworth, NJ and we have a terrific grand prize -- a trip for 2 to Vegas, 3 night hotel stay and a $1,500 buy-in to a 2008 WSOP Event. We also have other prizes like Yankees tickets and poker chip sets and some Visa Gift cards. Unfortunately, we have not been able to get a lot of interest locally or in the poker community. We have sold about 40 tickets and some people are actually just making donations, not planning on attending. Any decent poker player is likely to walk away with the grand prize or one of the top prizes. How do I get the word out, that this is going to be a great event and get people to start buying tickets. The tickets must be sold in advance so that we can hire the correct number of dealers. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Yesterday went pretty damn good IMO. I weighed in at 208 on the dot in the morning, not terribly happy as I am still .5 over friday but I didn't eat totally clean saturday and cheated badly friday so it's to be expected. Seeing 208 on the scale motivated me to really kick ass and that's exactly what I did.

Woke up took my ECA and beta-alanine and went walking. Normally I take sundays off, but for whatever reason I was just feelin good very strong and my body seemed lighter than usual. The way I was feeling physically coupled with my guilt over cheating a bit the last two days convinced me it would be a good day to try sprinting and jogging again. I got over to the track stretched and sprinted the 1/4 mile track twice. I walk a lap, sprint a lap, walk a lap etc. I recorded times of 1:53 the first sprint and 1:47 the second time. I know I can do better, but I am happy being able to run even that distance as a month ago I don't think I could run 40 feet haha.

What is good etiquette?

Sure, there have been articles written before but they are few and far between in my opinion. What is good poker etiquette? Do the same rules apply online as they do in live poker? I like to follow the age-old rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. It doesn’t matter if you have inside information on a particular player from a reliable source who might have said “the guy you’re playing likes to stack you then quit”. You have to keep in mind that not everyone treats each player the same. The following circumstances apply to both live and online poker.
