1/3 Grinding and Bankroll
Hi all,
First post in this specific forum. Normally post in NL Strategy. Hoping for some feedback about bankroll manageme
Developed severe anxiety shortly after waking up unfortunately, got through my morning court docket and uncontested hearing well enough. Might be related to thinking about quitting but still working.
Running bad after records review for a likely busy day of interviews and hearing prep tomorrow, combined with a work commute … one outted twice set over set and top boat versus underfull. Taking it in stride and not tilting at all.
I feel like I don’t care as much about these cases or am as passionate as I used to be, I’m getting a little jaded. Maybe someone with fresh legs can do a better job than me at this point. I have a reduced appetite today also. Possibly related to whatever made me anxious this morning.
Still got my exercise in at least. Will go to bed early again to make it all a little easier on me as soon as my mapo tofu order arrives.
Got a really good nights sleep around 9-10 hours, didn’t feel tired or sleep deprived at all when I woke up. Enjoying vanilla lattes now before heading into the office. Got my exercise in yesterday even though I wasn’t feeling that strong. Forced myself to start a little bit then a little more until I got into a rhythm.
Yesterday someone flopped a set against my KK at 1/3 where I played a little to overcome my severe anxiety, at plo lost JT975ds three ways to KQQ and AAJ98.
At the 20/40 mix won around $600 making 87 low and a straight in 2-7 dramaha and top set KK in big o three way all in and scooping.
Having gotten my mind off work over the weekend and taken some mental space, I think I can keep going with the job for the time being. It’s just really brutal in the moment. I have a call with my supervisor tomorrow and I’m waiting for my telework accommodation request results which will determine the course moving forward. Also I am reminded how terrible my disability is for m
I found this interesting. Your disability doesn't seem to affect your poker at all. And poker is a pursuit that absolutely requires emotional stability and intrinsic motivation if playing professionally. Did it affect you with poker when you were less proven and climbing your way up, and now you can look back at results when things go bad? Of course, past results are never a guarantee of future success.
Or maybe your disability only affects 9-to-5 work? Thus thinking about resigning.
Just found that statement interesting and was curious about how it affected you differently with the two different career tracks. But that is a somewhat personal question so feel free to ignore.
Haven't checked this thread in a while. Glad you're still going strong at the tables! And GL with the job stuff, whatever you decide to do.
Average returns are not likely going to be as robust moving forward, was what they told me. They were looking at more like 6% on average moving forward. And I normally take the standard deduction.
I mean the SP500 has averaged 10-11% since its inception? Not sure what their logic is but given you're amassing money at a strong rate I would invest it correctly as you can turn that into a couple million relatively quick.
