Being a Vegetarian........

Completely ruins your physical and mental fitness, it's an absolute joke. It just means more non-technical things I have to think about around poker. I already bountied myself not to touch FT, and now, if only it were possible, I'd be bountying myself never ever ever ever to play when I get that strange light headedness/ can't concentrate/ disconnect-from-reality feeling I get around 4 hours after getting up every day.

I felt like this last night. Knew I was -EV in the games that were running, and played anyway. Dropped $1k, blah blah blah obviously.

I just woke up, so feeling ok, but after this session I'm going to the vitamin shop, and having a bowl of whatever tablets they give me.... with milk.

This hand was on a 72 bounty table. Obviously bad in a vacuum, but he snapped PF and flop and for me it was a sure timing tell of a medium-small pair. Wrong this time.

In poker you see good lines, and you see bad lines. Usually, I call the bad lines and fold to the good lines. Sometimes though, a line is just soooo bad that it swings the other way and I should never pay it off. I think this is one of those times, but I could be wrong. I can have Qx a lot and maybe don't always pay any weaker ace than AK given it's a split......... hmm.
