Depression Life and other shit

XXXL to L
12/25/20
As bad as 2019 was it doesn’t compare to 2020. I am not going to dwell on this but I want to start off with it. Covid kept the world on lockdown. I spent most of the year working from home. My father’s pulmonary fibrosis won out and he passed on 11/8. I lost 50 lbs gained 40 back in one fucking year. Depression has overtaken me and I’m struggling to get back to me.
It’s not all been bad. I’ve taken strides in poker and have done more studying then I ever have. As I get better and try things my win rate actually dropped. I think I went too far the other direction. I feel confident in the direction my game is heading. (The depression didn’t help my win rate either).
On my weight and eating plan. I had to take a long hard look at myself and try to understand how I need to he to get to it goal …
Here is what I’ve learned
I am not good at moderation
I’m either on something or I am not
I do follow direction
I decided on Weight Watchers. I’ve had the most success with it in the past. Also Sarah has lost 75 lbs so far on it. So a few days ago I signed up and paid my money. I can go more into all this later.
I believe my weight and physical conditioning have a direct result on how I think and how I play cards also.
The process for me going forward is to remember that it’s the pattern of my life not the individual item or day that matters. I am a product of all my activities and not the product of my most recent. THIS IS HUGE

Tourney Day
It's about 30 min before the mega satellite starts. The plan is to play smart and make good decisions.
I can't remember the last time I was excited to play poker. I am actually nervous. I need to make sure I stay in control of my emotions and not make stupid plays and moves.
The main event will be the biggest buy in tournament I've played to date. I can't win the tournament in a satellite but I can lose it. So the plan is grow my stack and not take unnecessary chances.
Made through the satellite. It was stressful and exhilarating at the same time. I never get that rush from cash games. I am tired and have a bit of a headache but I'm going to focus and play smart.
As far as the satellite goes I think I made one big mistake. I opened KJo from UTG and flopped a J and then turned the nut flush draw against a made 2nd nut flush. I was all in and behind 1 time with 78 vs A8 and binked a 7. I called and all in (reshoved) and was heads up with 44 vs A9 and held. I even made someone fold 88. I was also all in with Q9 on a 9 Hugh flop. SB vs BB. SB checked I jammed he t.ank called with the same hand. Chop chop.
I made day 2. I bagged 48,600. I played well. I didn't make too many mistakes and none that cost me a huge amount it chips. I did win one huge hand when I had Jc9c on the button. I called a 2.5x raise and the flop was KcQc4c. On the turn we got it all in vs AcQh and I held. Then went card dead for almost 2 hours. Folded almost half my stack away and then toward the end of the night 44 vs 33 on a A97T5 board. We did check the turn the river. I was in position so he could not really bluff with he 33.
Blinds will be 500/1000 when we start day 2 so I am in good shape when it comes to big blinds.
I need to continue to keep my head in the game and play smart.
DAY 2
The day went well I played well and got lucky. I was seated to the right of the person who was 2nd in chips going into day 2. I www able to River a set vs him to win a huge pot then a few orbits later I made a big river bluff to grow my stack even more. I was able to run my 48k up to about 205k. When we got 18 handed (16 paid) I was moved to a table were two really loose players with huge chip stacks were to my left. I basically had to fold the rest of the day. Until I finally went out 11th for $1500. So from $85 to $1500 in weekend. I'll take that.

Keep it Simple Stupid
- Sleep I do not get even close to enough on work days.
- Movement….. simply walk for a little while (I can add more later)
- Food choices…. Eat a more balanced diet with less refined food.
- Wake me up so I cannot sleep
- Makes me feel bloated that makes me not want to move.
