Grindstation & The Home Stretch
Grindstation:
Got everything you need here.
X – ridiculous lazboy roland recliner
X – razer diamondback mouse and vespula mousepad
X – laptop table on the recliner arm (key to the captain chair)
X – sennheiser headset for coaching/making vids and some HD-595’s for drowning in sound
X – 30" & 24" monitors w/obligatory random sawed in half hot bitch
X – darth vader lookin’ computer
X – awkward aunt motherfuckin’ jemima looking water canteen contraption
As far as the prop bet is concerned, I have a lot of ground to make up since I’ve lost so much time getting this new computer (over a week). I tried 12 tabling 200NL to catch up, but I suck ass at over 6 tables, as previously mentioned in my blog and in vids. I micromanage too much, and it doesn’t work on tons of tables.
I’ve got about 15k hands to get in before the hand of the month. I’m going to probably chill at 1/2 and 2/4 trying to kick up the volume. I’ll still play 5/10 if the games are good, so I guess we’ll see. I’d say you guys are probably the favorite right now in this bet lol. I’ll post graphs and such at the end of the month when everything is completed.
It’s funny I’m going to have to email FTP support and let them know I’m going to indeed be sending out 20’s like santa claus so they don’t think he hi-jacked my account and decided to spread the jolly christmas cheer and such.
Not much else is going on right now, drinking a grape kombucha tea and listening to the meat puppets as I finish this blog up and get ready to grind. I may just put a few epic movies on in the background and try to run a mini-LOCKDOWN. Pink Floyd: The Wall, Heavy Metal, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, After Hours, those all sound great right about now. Anyway, gl out there folks.

Aren't you losing more money by playing mindless volume at 200NL than if you just played 4 tables of your A game and paid off the prop bet?
P.S. please include more wisdom in the next blog post

I mean I technically am b/c if I just 4 tabled 5/10 (and 2/4+ on the side) my hourly would be higher, but it's not about that for me atm. It's about the challenge of hitting the mark. I also think having to play so many hands in a short period of time will give me a good stepping stone for increasing my volume in general. What kind of wisdom? More desktop bell wisdom!???!

That makes sense. And I just meant wisdom in the vein of the blog post before this one. The rant about not taking shit from people and whatnot actually really improved my poker game and my life in general. Serious.

is that ergonomic to sit in a lazy boy many hrs a day? seems like it would encouraging slouching and slumping back into the chair. also, too comfy = lazy sleepy poker player. i think a stiff backed ergonomic chair is probably best :)
