Day 1 Poker Bootcamp

What an up and down day! I started at 10am, shaved my head, got ready for the next 6 weeks. I weighed in at 221lbs, and started at 4nl. The goals for the next 6 weeks are to get under 200 lbs. and be up to 50nl.

Such a rocky start! The first workout was intense riding the elliptical for two 30 minute intervals. I also played about 2000 hands both at 4nl and 10nl. The 10nl did not go well at all for me. I was beating the shit out of 4nl at 12bb/100 so I figured on a smooth transition to 10nl. Wrong. If you ever think poker is going to be easy, think again. This truely is the hardest way to make an easy living.

My second workout consisted of a quick 20 minute blast of each muscle part, just to get a little soreness in. I also need to ease into this part of my training as I havnt worked out in years.

Things I must work on:

Attitude. I clearly have to gain a constant positive attitude in order to get this done.

Passion. I need to get that passion back for the game. I need to want to learn.

Sobriety. I am done drinking and smoking. Detrimental to the game, to me.
